I can reprogram my psyche cause I got the passwords to be my administrator. Now I can code all of my own software.
I don't have a choice to live with reason.
I don't have a voice unless it has meaning.

Egress

This is my egress I let go.
These my defenses I lay low.
These are my insides without soul.
I'm just a lost child without hope.
Temptation it seeks me when I'm weak.
My innocence is soft to speak.
If I was strong enough I'd weep.
But I think I lost my chance to dream.
I'm the spitting image of mindless cause.
The artificial substrate coin toss
Played through too far to hit pause.
In this pivotal moment I'm caught.

Believe Me

Believe me if I could you know I would believe in you. I know it could be good. But I'm barely a man and I'm talking God. I don't understand. I don't like the odds. I believe in technology cause that's what I am. That's what made me. Maybe there's more. I cannot tell. Would you open your arms? Deliver me from hell? Relieve me if you could I know you would. Relieve me if you could I know you would. But that's just the start of what my questions are. As you look at the world through the stars with your supposed loving eye. As we kneel and pray at night. Can you see all your children die? Does a tragic feeling happen inside you?

You run your mouth and wonder why I stay silent. You see a light in a dark room and think that you created it.
So wrong.
Are you ready for me to break the silence?
Cause ready or not here I come.
You've been looking for some meaning.
You hadn't found it so you went numb.
Don't be shy. Don't shy away.
I know I look like a demon in the grey.
But the black flames won't fade out.
The ashes of angels in your mouth.
So let's float on like we are stars.
Trapped in the void that I have caused.
Another sand storm in the dark.
If we're lucky we all can press restart.

Dark Dog

Your suicide ain't self sacrifice.
You're just a child playing with knives.
Swimming in crimson and thinking it's soma
When your altar is fading white.
Death holds up an all seeing mirror to our eyes. Which the consequences of our negative and positive actions are clearly seen. There is a weighing of our past actions in light of their consequences. The balance of which will determine the kind of existence we are being driven to enter.
So bury your halo along with your afterlife.
As your scripture goes quiet.
You stinking sack of meat with your heavy heart.
You never were featherweight in your life.
And when that dark dog makes its peace with you
The last thing you'll feel is its bite.

You spot lit showoff. You wretched leech.
As you pucker and try to preach.
The scripture according to you.
The scripture void of the truth.
Some falsified notions abused.
I'm not depressed enough to listen to you.
Broadcast interrupted. Back to our regular station.
Well now I know what is done. When I lose my mind there's no coming back from that one. Now can we go and press restart. Like we had talked about. Is that a real option? Helpful if I see my choices. I just want to find my voice. If I can love you like I need. This is all I have to keep me from bleeding out on the temple floor.

Verify

Illuminate the deeper die hard from the clearer picture. I garden my mind. Circuit broke apart last I tried. And now the light is burning my eyes.
Fake grins and good jokes verify.
This pretty image of myself is a lie.
I don't want to look. I don't.
Fake grins and good jokes verify.
This pretty image of myself is a lie.
Hypnotized by prototype that's sure to bite.
Sew together mouth shut. In the quiet I refine and start over.
Take the pieces throw them out.
Rebuild the structures solid ground.
Inscribe the symbol. Burn the crown and then earn it.

Different

A new hard drive. But my heart can't be replaced for sure.
It's no surprise that I just keep wanting more.
So we jump into our hearts. The crimson that we swim. Leave the fury behind that came about from asking the question.
Say what you'd like. I don't care do what you want to do.
Say what you think will make me feel like I'm beautiful.
Say what you'd like to make yourself feel ruthless.
Say what you'd like just so I don't feel like I'm toothless.
Get over it.
Dark of night. What do I see? What do I see?
My lantern light. All that I know. All that I know.
I was breathing fire when I was young.
Didn't know a thing. I was playing dumb.
But I danced with the moon and she opened mind.
Now I'm stuck seeing inside
My Angel.
