Can you hear the voices?
With eyes
My hands will pull you under
Concrete
My mouth is so tasteless
Bone dry
I’m sweating my insides from hunger
The richest of red dyes
Just like the stagnant buzz of breath it’s gone
When you question whether your minds lost nothing is lossless
Now I’m seized by a breeze and
Carried from confidence
Why do my enquiries grow evermore infinite?
I’m stolen like generations
I’m frozen in my connotations
As I’m regretting reprimanding my regrets
Waiting for waves of serotonin
Only time is more endless
I’m seized by a breeze in here
And Carried from confidence

I was eaten alive by the reflection of my own teeth
From the inside out meat, second me, cannibal eternal
Son of Marcus the first,
Raised in the shadow of patriarchal blur,
Shadows need the sun
Hindsight proposes a treatment at night,
When no moments suffice to outline
The culture shift
And it's seemingly burdening
Son of Marcus the first,
Raised in the shadow of patriarchal blur,
Shadows need the sun
And to you adieu
Sundered the soul
Thunderous realisations

There is peace and tranquillity
When tranquillised in pieces
And to snicker otherwise
Shows facetiousness
That shall test
Queries ability
And I’m guaranteed humble humility is adrift on a flat earth sea
Have we been biding our time through the centuries? Waiting for the perfect moment to display some signs of empathy
View through red prespex
Feel the horn
We are all
The matador
I swear all you do is speak
And breathe
See how many minds you can hypnotise
And coerce to agree
And now is were vision needs action
A voice with a plan is for deaf ears
Without Passion
Who’s willing to stand
For evidence
Supported in a lack of trust
When the time comes
To be courageous
Will you raise your hand or wave the red flag?
I swear all you do is speak
And breathe
See how many minds you can hypnotise
And coerce to agree with the opinions you spray
Whilst sucking in your cheeks
Cease the ignition
Silence is fuel in remission
Suffocate oxygen
Cease the ignition
Silence is fuel

Serenity under surveillance (No contemplation)
Documented obscenely assure prevalence (No contemplation)
To sway with the pull the grasp

How can you stand by idly?
When its so obvious there’s no drive to be
Civilised in a backward evolution
Is this a mirage in front of me?
Sacrifice my brain to be entertained is it comforting?
To willingly participate in your lobotomy
We’ve been maimed and shaped by deities
Belief imprisons fact to mould society
Make sure all your questions are sent to authority
Objectified
As deviant to think that were standing on the brink of our downfall
Tell me I’m not the only one wanting to jump
And find
A swinging vine
You hold so dear this grip on fear and knowledge you wish to be true
So wait as my knife inches in closer to your spine
Those who stand at tables dressed in white cloth
Submit their willingness to logic
Can’t you see our illness is chronic?
Don’t trust yourself
Not to trust the words they keep on eyelevel shelves
If there’s such a thing as hell it’s the mind of the unknowingly ignorant
Pull back the foliage
To discover poison at the roots
Some people see a little more clearly when they stare
And it’s safe to say in this empire age
None of us can bank on being safe for too long
We place our faith
In 1000 faces
With one name
Its tempting to walk into the water
And breathe in
When this error ends can we be sure
Another will begin
Don’t dance on the edge of your shadow
Waiting for light to chase away night on the side of the road
Is it worth it?
Is it worth the effort of screaming when fully submerged in dirt?
From what I’ve heard
A Whisper is often misinterpreted
Our culture burns
Synapses
Made from mistakes we’ve learned from
The sky will shine when we realise

Staring into blank
As our memories paint
Cotton canvas
I chose to blur the edge of grace
Thinking straight
Until dreams start shifting out of shape
Pulsating away into the distance
With my sight in rewind
I’ve thrown away those original visions
With and empty abyss of a mind
And when we saw how far from regular we would stray
We realised our instinct cant be tamed
My sights in rewind
In an empty abyss
Reminiscence a glistening enemy
Beauty is in remembering
Caught in this state of mass sanitation its
Making
All noise rot language into white
Needle to the brain
Fill my skull as I start to change
And my structure decays
