The bell tolls and i begin to wonder why It is the hour hand that prevails My life lead by the speed of the minute As i watch seconds pass before me And the hours of others trailing behind Bound by a time too short to allow myself to live To live free of it I am without shelter Without control Defenseless In both the world around me and in my head The bell tolls and i begin to wonder why It is the hour hand that always prevails Not until my lungs collapse will i be free To escape the confines of frailty My legs unable to carry me As the thoughts race through My breath unable to stay As i must face the sun alone Not until my lungs collapse will i be free To escape this frailty that has confined me I am without shelter Without control Defenseless In both the world around me and in my head

Force feed people, take their sight They will never know No resistance to our actions now Nowhere for them to go Open your eyes They are not there In time you'll realize You'll thank me in the end Silence carries our minds Repress yourself, become the fool Repress yourself, you wanted to I give you the tools that you need Ignorance is bliss Obey Force feed people They are tame They never bite the hand that feeds Ever so content to stand in line Originality is dead We are your thoughts In your head we are dormant But where will thought get me When those around me tell me what to be An empty shell, an inner hell Waiting for deliverance Open your eyes They are not there In time you'll realize You'll thank me in the end

Contemplation of ones self Epiphany of insignificance Doubt One of many, no one listens Imminent result of progress Desensitizing process Everyday life, a standard of living So this is progress Cover up the strife Become the prisoner Become what you must Contemplation of ones self Epiphany of insignificance Doubt your surroundings To live life is to be told what to do Accept Become your role Timid All will remain Nothing left to consider No doubt to dwell upon No feeling inside Emotion gone Desensitizing process

Internal monologues, constant remembrance How would it play out had restraint withheld me Internal monologues constantly playing Sleepless nights have begun to claim my judgment A setting sun, the thousandth prayer for dissilusion Led me wayward from my conscience Unknowing what is to come Except for cryptic signs upon my awakening Internal monologues Judge me not for what i have done But for what i know Internal monologues, constant remembrance How would it play out had restraint withheld me Internal monologues constantly playing Sleepless nights have begun to claim my judgment Panic state Frantically washing what once was life from my hands Afraid to raise my eyes to the mirror To my own judgment Internal monologues Judge me not for what i have done But for what i know

Users are biased, unable to accept the norm They are the best, nothing can be greater Performance and quality superior Ability to sustain adequate life A smooth exterior lead some astray Though these patrons know nothing Indigenous ability inferior, for it still matters not Reputable users are unable to apply their noble tool False, let us prove To you what is possible Held by no restraint We will now prevail Assisted by the adversary Unable to accept, like a moaning child Though we are without fear Users are biased, unable to accept the norm They are the best, nothing can be greater Performance and quality superior An opportunity arises, a change in pace Your knowledgeable chance Willing were we to entrust you with our craft In hopes to be proven Though initial acceptance is short lived Your chance to vouch for your essential implement Covered by denial False, your actions are always We have proved the impossible, and will again Your continual failure, fueled by inadequate assumptions Will no longer remain For we will prevail on our own Attempts to show in plain sight Unbiased, we will strive forth Assisted by the adversary See in the end we will be the ones laughing An opportunity arises, a change in pace Your knowledgeable chance Willing were we to entrust you with our craft In hopes to be proven Though initial acceptance is short lived Your chance to vouch for your essential implement

I saw his face And a thought crushed my mind No words exchanged But a fear felt eternally Like a plague I am forever stricken And like a child I am safer without the thought of it So take me from this darkness Remember that i'm lost without you From from the darkest of both worlds I will follow you home I saw his face And a thought crushed my mind No words exchanged But a fear felt eternally While home became But a memory I found myself Safer without the thought of it So take me from this darkness Remember that i'm lost without you From from the darkest of both worlds I will follow you home

Imminent life ending wishes Weapons of the human mind can still bring death In this life a subtle thought Could take your last breath The vision rips into you Torn, feel the fear come off of you You will never be reborn In the end the only answer is dirt It's where we all must go Better from your own hands Than an unseen fatal blow Forces i can not escape Struggling with the inevitable Blindly secure my fate Struggling with the inevitable Imminent life ending wishes Weapons of the human mind can still bring death In this life a subtle thought Could take your last breath Now the end has begun for you too You realize the master's power over you With each day we trust in the same path So if there's no god what can you believe? Forces i can not escape Struggling with the inevitable Blindly secure my fate Struggling with the inevitable Imminent life ending wishes Weapons of the human mind can still bring death In this life a subtle thought Could take your last breath

Moments pass and i find myself Trailing further and further behind Their faces i can never see Calling out to them The names of those who d left long ago Each step further And another step behind Down this thickening path With no end in sight This promise of sleep, lost long before the night As i was told this would be my last Just like the night before, spent awaiting an end Never forgotten what it means to live This promise of sleep i made to myself long ago, Unfulfilled and out of reach Like the faces i will never see And the names i will never know, Those who i am destined to follow down this thickening path With no end in sight

It was only a matter of time Before the taps were leaked The last breath of security is taken And the mask is removed It was this revealing moment That would determine my fate And the tracking would continue either way A standard for good, and too for evil Brought me home to a bottle But not enough was it to hide As i am one to throw stones Brought me home to a bottle But not enough was it to hide As i am one to throw stones It was this revealing moment That would determine my fate And the tracking would continue either way A standard for good, and too for evil Brought me home to a bottle But not enough was it to hide As i am one to throw stones And when the spirit of these walls That contain my life Inch closer and closer together I can hear my name as it's called
