life melts and it thaws
vanishes
it cannot dwell
it dissolves
planets bid farewell to their stars
they do not cease to exist
they're just not themselves where they've gone

it's not the end
things extend from their shell and beyond
perhaps their prior lair is not where they belong
i question life
but death barely responds
whatever i am
insanity is very involved
for what i bear in my skull is made of nothing ordinary at all
i swim in the out/tear and evolve
i amass - - a tide of imagination
its waters are vast
several gravitations cause it to splash
generating waves
exalted
they crash
leaving being human lost in their path
the illusion discarded and trashed
how can you change the future in an alternate past

when you seek knowledge
you face questions
they often are masked
with slavish devotion to the stick with which i walk
i will ask

and travel beyond my ultimate grasp
unraveling a remarkable path
gathering all that i pass

the intake will syphon like an event horizon
until the end arrives like fighting against m. bison
what the wind provides is polarity for what dims the sky
glints barely penetrate a thin horizon
we darken things
blacken the very thought of things
remove distractions
what will you imagine when only thoughts remain

stranded on this planet
i'm what normal people call insane
i don't belong attached to humans as a ball and chain
society is based on false relationships with hollow frames
a life that's fake
whose laws are made to make us all the same
those who differ are all but hanged
the only reason they don't go all the way
is to preserve the illusion of freedom they use to lull the brain
do not allow this
society is a prison disguised as a palace
words of wisdom stanton parrish provided on “alphas”
children should not be blinded
guided by counselors
they should instead be guided by their ENTIRE surroundings
experience life
and make their own minds up about it

protect them
but do not direct them
if they make a mistake
wait
don't just automatically correct them
give them a chance to see their errors themselves
and fathom questions
it isn't YOU that matters
when the matters affect them


[hook] x 2


don't lose focus
just to gain perspective
when you're approaching pain
don't change directions
it'll wear off in due time
have patience
let it
that way
all you learned on your way is embedded
scarred for life
wounds that won't heal
so what happens on the battlefield is always revealed
we can't make you feel what we feel
it won't be real
in order to build
you have to live according to your own free will
