..so come on, child, youve slept enough /
and i know youre tired but im waking you up /
there is much to be done, and were right on the cusp /
of this shit getting real, im mean really, really fucked /
every sheep for the shearing waiting around non-plussed /
trading branding irons for brand-name cuts /
we were born in labor, baptized in dust /
given life anew as a living trust /
with every hair numbered and cross-referenced /
for each soul they claim to save, they have added interest /
with a price on your head, what you think matters not /
every credit card statement, every lie youve bought /
rates our exchanged faith for the next fiat /
on the blotter paper, the blood dont clot /
it just bleeds you dry and then leaves you to rot /
in a dead end job till at last you drop /
into this old noose, with the rope drawn taut /
left with your hands bound so theyll never be caught /
you may sabotage our education /
to a calculated chaos born of confusion /
a controlled market through the inflation /
truly euthanasia to waste on the young /
but, weve caught you now, and were cutting your funds /
we outnumber you over a million to one /
its a sharp weapon, but the points left blunt /
theres no skill to the game, no challenge to the hunt /
with each target deaf, blind, and reticent /
got your ducks in line for the same false front /
cos when free will costs even ten percent /
false tongues speak lies over catholic hunts /
from the cathepsin to the cathexis /
ill bear the stigmatic focus of the anti-catechist /
with each catalytic pill slowly slitting my wrists /
so when i raise my hand, see my bloody fist /
may have killed brain cells, but ive kept my wits /
and i'd rather go sooner to have known and said this / ive peaked at the end, where the answer sits /
all the rest is just problems and more questions /
hear the classes getting loud and the teacher getting pissed /
in the end this pattern goes 666 /
soon my names showing up on every government list /
free speech shouldnt cost, let alone be a risk /
so when i die young, itll prove me right /
cos it wont be pills, swear it wont be the knife /
no matter how hard it gets, im in this for life /
and im never giving up till we make things right /
god gave me this voice, so i cant stay quiet /
they cant kill this love, ill come back to fight /
to return each star and remove each stripe /
from each prism cell, well refract the light /
to reveal each move, catch the thieves in the night /
make them share whats left and return our rights /
though it may still shine from a hormone diet /
this knowledgeable fruits grown overripe /
and robbed his breath, birth absorbed he /
when the planets line up, every eye shall see /
that this invite-only disparity party /
has brought enough despair to the already broken-hearted /
in the wake of greed, in the name of flow-charting /
leaving broken-homes where once were gardens / see its our pale horse that were riding in on /
bringing pestilence as a plague of love /
with hell at our heels and heaven catching on /
its the hanged man, its the crux fiction /
its the pentagram, its the pentagon /
its davids star, its the pyramid song /
what was once upright /
now is upside down / and isaiah, its a revelation / 2368, 2701 /
means a way out /
and if i can, you know im bringing everyone
