a camera in a distant room
shows the face of one long dead
wire wrapped around his throat
a victim of the TV head
the signal makes us into weapons
programmed with the lust to kill
a growth that hides within our minds
poisoning our wanton will
the needle enters tender flesh
red lips press against the screen
the gun emerges from my hand
is this real or dying dream?
cannot trust this new sensation
changing into something more
reality is mere illusion
death is but another door
in some respects
(behold the flesh)
we are the dead
(become the flesh)
to move beyond
(beyond the flesh)
we must be strong
(reject the flesh)
seeking out the sharpest edges
thresholds between sex and pain
torn skin opens, showing secrets
this empty world cannot explain
through the screen she calls my name
a promise of another life
the gun is warm against my head
i hail the flesh and close my eyes
in some respects
(behold the flesh)
we are the dead
(become the flesh)
to move beyond
(beyond the flesh)
we must be strong
(reject the flesh)

you only see what you want to see
we only see what you want to be seen
you cant do that, not by yourself
you need help from everyone else
more laws, restrictions and plans
put it all into their hands
don't judge or offend your ears
you have every right to be here
don't make you think too hard
else you'll say we pushed you too far
you'll quiet my controversy
attempt to force me onto bended knee
you have so many friends
when you cry, they come running
you cant do this, not by yourself
you need help from every one else
you only see what you want to see
we only see what you want to be seen
----------------------------------------------------
a drop in the bucket
a grain of sand
herd mentality
fake renditions
truly powerless
your voice is so empty
thought its heard
it really does nothing
armchair activist...
watch it burn
feel accomplished
yet you forfeit your turn
don't make you think too hard
else you say we pushed you too far
you'll quiet my controversy
attempt to force me onto bended knee
you have so many friends
when you cry, they come running
you cant do this, not by yourself
you need help from everyone else
you only see what you want to see
we only see what you want to be seen

final construct
09:49

|
inwardly gazing
reflection of the seed
key that turns
tumblers into place
open the eye
see oneself gazing at oneself
expanding outward
in infinite departure
the landscape burns clean
a long distance lies ahead
sigils constructed
with meaning to soon be forgot
each step a new task
building upon the last
steps turn to strides
lupine advance, the end draws near
stairs on the horizon
approach the watcher
manifest the final construct
enter the death stance
enter the death stance
