Parablepsia

Lyrics

Time beats slowly When you hold me I have pause To contemplate things Things of meaning Like the moment Sometimes it is lost on me My mind moves in many A direction More than latitudinally My mind moves in waves Through generations Of pain and complacency My mind moves in waves Like quadratic equations And matters of Parablepsia Everyone I meet these days seems to suffer from Distorted thoughts and beliefs And what we believe, we bеcome We only see what we want Para-Parablеpsia Days move swiftly When I'm in these Thoughts drifting down The River Styx again Shrouded by The fog of time So dark, can't tell where I begin or end And every moment I'm so blessed with I concurrently see and feel Images of those I've Loved and feared Just like a movie reel I see my grandma cryin' at my grandad's violent hands I see my mama silently suffering, and smiling on command I see my sister locked in the back of that car and left for dead All 'cause the boy she trusted didn't want her to remember what he did "Boys are gonna be boys" "And girls are just a body" That is what they teach That is what they taught me "Boys are gonna be boys" "And girls are just "a body" That is what they teach That is what they taught me But I've never been good At following rules imposed upon me I've never been good At following anybody blindly My mind moves in many a direction No sense of time, dancing through generations of lies And unsung truths In the daylight, I can see right through Para-Parablepsia Para-Parablepsia Time beats slowly when you hold me I have paused to contemplate things Things of meaning, like the moment Sometimes it is lost on me
