Chimera Obscurant

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Two eyes doesn't mean double vision I never questioned this stance, but now I've been seeing things I can hear a voice in the distance trying to turn my attention to their truth Someone's moving behind the curtain I point it out to my friends, but they don't see a thing I just keep my synaptic active To prepare for the day that they do 'Cause this ain't how it ends [Hook] (And they'll say) Now, I think it's funny, I feel distant (Let's hear it) I'd run away if it'd make any difference (For the post-moderation) I'd look up my childhood crushes (For tolled salivation) But they've all have their own children since (Who cares so much about these things?) And even if their hearts tarnish They've gold wedding bands to hide the green (Availed denomination) Pearly gates to show from her past or his mouth (The 'so shall' domination) He too bears the burden of a bulbous belly [Post-Chorus] Yeah, yeah, I know, I know this veil ain't real And still it never fails to fall or send me reeling I awaken to the same ceiling And I can't seem to shake this sick feeling [Verse 2] I don't need surgery to keep my smile fixed Ever confident, never nervous For I feel nothing I work hard and come from a respected family We take care of each other, we do Now all the pieces keep falling faster (We won't live until we shed this skin) Your letters spelling disaster (Oh, to be free again) I wish I was in Paris getting plastered (A vestige interest in the instrumental moment) 'Cause all this masquerading's started my façade fading (You'll know it when) And turned my quiet heart to hating Whatever it is that we've been waiting for 'Cause this ain't how it ends [Hook] (When they'll say) That every word that I'm speaking (Let's hear it) Will poison the chance that you're listening (For drained health and elation) I know that you think you'd be missing out (Brain cell annihilation) With an answer that we can't make out or make up (Who cares so much) But even if we black out and break up (About these things) It's just a breath 'fore we're looking back, laughing out (Pupil dilation) 'Cause every end's a beginning, beggin' to get back in (More light to the patient) You know I'll come around, if you just let me sleep in [Post-Chorus] With each wave more violent than the last I'll keep my thoughts silent till they pass We're not ready yet They'll say you've got to build your tolerances now and then Make your heart a callus with thicker skin I just can't seem to shake this sick feeling [Break] The more they interfere to forestall me The clearer I hear her calling me, calling me I must have struck a nerve, 'cause someone's following me I pull over to the shoulder of the freeway My history profiled on the licensed registry The shepherd keeps a careful eye on his personal inventory [Refrain] We're the same We're the same We're the same We're the We're the We're the We're the same! [Refrain] We're the same We're the same We're the same We're the same We're the same We're the same We're the same [Bridge] So come on, child, you've slept enough And I know you're tired but I'm waking you up (We're the same) There is much to be done, and we're right on the cusp Of this shit getting real, I mean really, really fucked (We're the same) Every sheep for the shearing waiting around non-plussed Trading branding irons for brand-name cuts (We're the same) We were born in labor, baptized in dust Given life anew as a living trust (We're the same) With every hair numbered and cross-referenced For each soul they claim to save, they have added interest (We're the same) With a price on your head, what you think matters not Every credit card statement, every lie you've bought (We're the same) Rates our exchanged faith for the next fiat On the blotter paper, the blood don't clot (We're the same) It just bleeds you dry and then leaves you to rot In a dead end job till at last you drop (We're the same) Into this old noose, with the rope drawn taut Left with your hands bound so they'll never be caught (We're the same) You may sabotage our education To a calculated chaos born of confusion (We're the same) A controlled market through the inflation Truly euthanasia to waste on the young (We're the same) But, we've caught you now, and we're cutting your funds We outnumber you over a million to one (We're the same) It's a sharp weapon, but the point's left blunt There's no skill to the game, no challenge to the hunt (We're the same) With each target deaf, blind, and reticent Got your ducks in line for the same false front (We're the same) Cos when free will costs even ten percent False tongues speak lies over Catholic hunts (We're the same) From the cathepsin to the cathexis I'll bear the stigmatic focus of the anti-catechist (We're the same) With each catalytic pill slowly slitting my wrists So when I raise my hand, see my bloody fist (We're the same) May have killed brain cells, but I've kept my wits And I'd rather go sooner to have known and said this (We're the same) I've peaked at the end, where the answer sits All the rest is just problems and more questions (We're the same) Hear the classes getting loud and the teacher getting pissed In the end this pattern goes 666 (We're the same) Soon my name's showing up on every government list Free speech shouldn't cost, let alone be a risk (We're the same) So when I die young, it'll prove me right Cos it won't be pills, swear it won't be the knife (We're the same) No matter how hard it gets, I'm in this for life And I'm never giving up till we make things right (We're the same) God gave me this voice, so I can't stay quiet They can't kill this love, I'll come back to fight (We're the same) To return each star and remove each stripe From each prism cell, we'll refract the light (We're the same) To reveal each move, catch the thieves in the night Make them share what's left and return our rights (We're the same) Though it may still shine from a hormone diet This knowledgeable fruit's grown overripe (We're the same) And robbed his breath, birth absorbed he When the planets line up, every eye shall see (We're the same) That this invite-only disparity party Has brought enough despair to the already broken-hearted (We're the same) In the wake of greed, in the name of flow-charting Leaving broken-homes where once were gardens (We're the same) See it's our pale horse that we're riding in on Bringing pestilence as a plague of love (We're the same) With hell at our heels and heaven catching on It's the hanged man, it's the crux fiction (We're the same) It's the pentagram, it's the pentagon It's david's star, it's the pyramid song (We're the same) What was once upright now is upside down And Isaiah, it's a revelation (We're the same) 2368, 2701 Means a way out And if I can, you know I'm bringing everyone [Refrain] We're the same We're the same We're the same We're the same We're the same We're the same We're the same We're the same We're the same We're the same We're the same We're the same We're the same We're the same We're the same We're the same We're the same We're the same We're the same We're the same We're the same [Outro] (We're the same) (We're the same) (We're the same)
