lyrics

Justify my confidence
Gain strength when I speak
I hear voices
They return with validation
We share an understanding
I can’t stop when they stop
It’s a quick refill and I put my ear to the wall
Digest the muffled colloquy
-chronic pulsing from the outside
Step back, I don’t like what I hear
but it’s the evidence I need to piece fragments out of context

I ignored the telltale signs of machinations
thus is the new breed of privileged irony

We are the last of our kind
And have been counted
Birds of a feather to become
A refined prototype

In a room with me and only me
holds no growth potential
In the true cogs in the wheel
-acuity of vision to spin eternal
I went too far and, being that I have nowhere left to go,
I’m losing ground
I went too far and, seeing who I have vowed never to become,
I’m finding now...

Likeminded minds cannot thrive
A lifetime in mine
for I can’t stop once I start the end
Likeminded minds cannot thrive
A lifetime in mine
The portal closes
