The Subversive Kind
Superficial views of what my life's supposed to be Abnorm is norm, we adopt a fractured reality Shattered image, human frailty is wide awake Polished gems, a golden hue of idols that we make The censorship is real, but we're all afraid to look And put our trust in a man, ignoring the lives he took The bets are 5 to 1, 1 and 5 to mark the damage we'll make Slavery prevails, the zombies walking tall A game of give and take Give and take! Bring 'em down! Bring 'em down! Misled, misunderstood, misinformed! Red, white and blue…and green The only colors that we see Did you stand in line? Did you partake in atrocity? Did you replace logic and reason for a misplaced reality? Bring 'em down! Bring 'em down!
Prejudicial blinds, become the dark veil of truth A guilty eye for an eye, a bloody tooth for tooth Call attention to the differences in their belief Selling God with different names, the educated thief We've clearly drawn the line Oh who to justify to hate Reasoning by law and love The blindfolded one has sealed their fate They seem to think that we serve the same God All rolling out their mats or sealed in their pods If only I've seen Christ in the way some live The more we push and take, the more we make them give We've clearly drawn the line Oh who to justify to hate Reasoning by law and love The blindfolded one has sealed their fate Sealed their fate! And though we pretend and come off so concerned The misread parables incentive what we've learned The price of human life, we somehow think we've earned We've clearly drawn the line Oh who to justify to hate Reasoning by law and love The blindfolded one has sealed our fate Sealed our fate Sealed our fate Sealed your fate Sealed your fate

You crave it all, to be the noticed one What's really in your head when the day is done? Are you really that self-absorbed you cannot see? Your thought process is your centricity You really are the center of it all The other names you can't recall You really are the center of it all The ditch is dug, waiting for your fall You've got nerve to proclaim the truth Poisonous lies infection surround Double minded is what you are Duplicitous, it has taken you far (x2) You really are the center of it all The other names you can't recall You really are the center of it all The ditch is dug, waiting for your fall I look at you and see myself, image of what I used to be Don't get me wrong I'm not your judge, just calling out what I see If you heard half your BS, you might understand what I mean The limpid, the crimped, the crawl to a slow insanity You really are the center of it all The other names you can't recall You really are the center of it all The ditch is dug, waiting for your fall

Gasping for air, heart rate rises Impending doom awaits No danger in sight, only feel fear Neurosis waits for you to take the bait And when it comes in day or night Your senses numbing rob you of sight A sense of calm it brings you down Chemical reaction ensues Nerve endings climbing, pupils dilating De-realization propels the cues And when it comes in day or night Your senses numbing rob you of sight Fire and ice lost in a haze The hand gripping you, the mind in a maze Swiftly moving like a hurricane You'll feel the pulsing through your veins Fight or flight ignites, dark energy Sense and madness find no synergy (x2) And when it comes in day or night Your senses numbing rob you of sight Fire and ice lost in a haze The hand gripping you, the mind in a maze

I've created my crucifixion, felt the affixation Circled my own stage, incited the crowd's rage Called out all my own crimes, defenses sublime I struck the gavel down hard, followed the path of the bard The passers-by begin to look The last move took out my rook The game played with their advantage The castle ran by crooks Their pointing fingers seek out my face In hopes reveal my disgrace I won't beg for justice or mercy Won't play the part adversely (x4) My epilogue is written But words continue to change My epilogue is written In the end no one to blame Let the punishment fit the deed At last I'll concede Weary of the sentence The scales balancing My actions are justified See so ramified Truth be known and revealed Official record unsealed (x4) My epilogue is written But words continue to change My epilogue is written In the end no one to blame

There's something in the words being said Between the blurry lines The fury and worry inside your head Ignore all the posted warning signs Picture this, a perfect world inside The firmament is reflecting all Tightly woven shroud engulf the mind The silent film that's showing your fall You've been suckered, you believe it all A victim of the selling game! There is hope, just believe The Truth It's out there waiting, waiting for you… It's not impossible, it's not worse than that! An answer lies in wait, just see! It won't come easy, friend that much is fact Seek and you'll find, the righteous path will be…

Insurrection, a call to the unrest The revolt puts courage to the test Retake, repossess powers that be The harmless dove subdues so subtly But I'm not the subversive kind I'll give you products of a disturbed mind But I'm not the subversive kind Be careful of what is hidden behind Lock me up in a cell or padded room A carriage ride to the impending doom Circle is broken but will soon mend A stress test to see how far you'll bend You'll see them rise, numbers like the sand While the world runs for a shelter less land But I'm not the subversive kind I'll give you products of a disturbed mind But I'm not the subversive kind Be careful of what is hidden behind Pick the locks with a pocketful of keys No use for reason is the decree Proprietary on the contrary Propaganda is all you see When it comes, no use to resist The result being added to the list But I'm not the subversive kind I'll give you products of a disturbed mind But I'm not the subversive kind Be careful of what is hidden behind

Wait! There's something not right here It creeps in like nightmares And pumps me full of fear Why? Should this be happening Disarm me by frightening It's all too alarming I won't give up Won't take the bait! I'll see it through, I'll run the course It's what's at stake! Too easy to fold Easy to give in! I’ll not let them control me Keep fighting for the win! Lies! They all surround me In fälschen commodity In hopes of disposing I won't let faith unravel Crushing down the gavel Awaiting arrival I won't give up Won't take the bait! I'll see it through, I'll run the course It's what's at stake! Too easy to fold Easy to give in! I’ll not let them control me Keep fighting for the win! (x4) I won't fold! I won't give up Won't take the bait! I'll see it through, I'll run the course It's what's at stake! Too easy to fold Easy to give in! I’ll not let them control me Keep fighting for the win! (x2) I won't fold!
