Undo Untie the knot Disentangle myself from this web of disparate structures Fundamentally contradictory operations Should I shelter, or should I seek for answers? Hyperactive mind In a thoughtless place Hyperactive mind In a thoughtless world Then I close the door to my own confinement And I know there’s more But I can’t see past this goddamn Bullshit I cant see the forest for the trees Trapped inside a matrix of confusion Inescapable matrix of confusion Undo Untie My mind From reality And I am so pure in desperation For another breath of fresh air Captive of my own imagination Or the lack thereof I am so tasteless I am so bland Locked in my mind No escape Locked in a cage How did it come to this? Everything I see turns to discrete forms Everything I hear turns to gibberish Everything falls apart when I observe it How can I escape? Pain is all biochemical reactions in your head making you feel this way, so there’s no use in pissing your life away and in sulking every minute, every second. Take a look and perceive the holy vision from new life. Overtaking outlook over everything, including every particle, is explained. Art will be your savior Embrace the chaos of the universe If you wish to escape From this goddamn, goddamn cage To better fields and greener pastures You must learn to laugh it off Useless transgressions will get in your way Challenged with aimlessness day after day Try as you might theres just not much to say All you can do for yourself is poke fun Everything seen is inherently dumb Doling out scathing remarks with your tongue Pointing out pointlessness - second to none

In the light There lies a frightening beast Who dwells with in inconspicuous forms Who prides himself on acting like what one might call an Ass Faced Drone… Ass Faced Drones They are insufferable They are inseparable From their senseless ideals Watch them all destroy themselves Everyone is doing their part in the destruction of the world There is no escape from Ass Faced Drones To defeat this atrocious beast We must unite under common rules 1. Free yourself from all social laws 2. Be a friend of the working man And finally, most importantly - 3. Be yourself unconditionally This is the way we will save the world From the masses of the dirtbag Ass Faced Drones Face them down with no remorse Wake them from their senseless slumber Lest they’re lost to sightlessness Heed the call if nothing more Cuz in the light there Lies a frightening Beast who’s proud of Acting like an Ass Faced Drone They are doing all that they can do to end this god forsaken world Ass Faced Drones They’ve infiltrated our world, our lives, our everything Even you are one too Sightless in all your movements Your blindness will mean The end of all that is Unique and beautiful

You My head Is Unwinding Around your pan-optical assessment of the room Around my failure to see That everything’s screwed You You are unwinding into a void That I cannot see But you sure can And I feel your tears And I hear your sobs But I can’t see your face I'm trapped in my head and I don’t know what I can or should do Butterflies everywhere but all you see is darkness I've Failed you Failed myself No remorse Until later Everything is my fault End of the world My fault But I wont play victim Because I know your pain Psilocybin fills your brain Innocence lost Epinephrine fills my viens Panic sets in One Job: Joke, Jest, Ignore Trapped in my head and I don’t know what I can or should do Butterflies everywhere but all you see is darkness and pain My heart is gone Your head is fawn And I just laugh But I feel pain Your head is fawn And I just laugh Your head is fawn
