lyrics

Hear the call,
buzzing and steadfast
defy what is to
better reap carnal knowledge.

There was time before
this epidemic known as
worship of moral compromise as if
the ends justified the means.
How usual it all did seem.

And it’s a crime.
It’s a thought crime to
open your mind and
then seek an alternate way home.
More like pawns engaged
in subjugation to these false images welded as weapons upon superficial sighs.

All at once
perceive the darkness here.
Ego serves the reptile
impulses prehistoric.

No one rules
If none obey the program so
Is there a line between our eyes and the screen?
Still lost in a digital dream
What if death, it has no sting?

A storm is coming.
Foreseen past life premonitions.
The feel of forceps
pulled from the mothers womb,
another room to ignite.

And it burns the palate.
All sense of taste is gone
until pain has brought forth
a sacred symmetry in truth.

Oh, you can hear her crying.
She echoes God divided,
sun and moon.
Everything will move towards unity.

When gridlock takes hold,
a glowing, psychic intervention
will hit you like a bull.
Bleed out the poison.
Oxygen illuminates your neocortex, once clouded with sin.

When gridlock takes hold,
a yearning, somewhat apprehensive,
was all you’ve ever known.
Give up all control,
pigeonholed, surrender to the void.
She whispers, "Your story is sand."
