i’m being pulled by forces
outside myself
the will that i impose is
of someone else
i fear i am becoming
not quite myself
the voice inside my head speaks
from somewhere else
who’s in control?
who is the one that pulls the strings?
who’s in control?
i want to bite the hand that feeds
who’s in control?
who is in control?
who is in control?
i sit and watch the world from
inside myself
every move i make controlled by
by something else
who’s in control?
who is in control?
who is in control?

ignorant hypocrite instigator
gaslighting conspirator race-baiter
what do you stand for, what is your law?
your moral compass points nowhere at all
chant along to the voices
in your echo chamber
see the red, smell the fear
you live in constant danger
double speaker, contradictor, non-thinker
idolizing, lie spreading, kool-aid drinker
who do you fight for, who is your god?
your blind devotion helps no one at all
you thrive on division
but divided we all fall away
you spew out your poison
as i wonder with shock and dismay
why do the loudest voices have the least to say?
brainwashed into servitude
fight to save the lives of those of own you
break your body, waste your mind
work to keep yourself in poverty
blame the ones who have it worse
hate thy neighbor as they hate you
pledge allegiance on your knees
die in the land of the free
radical fringe theory extremist
cross burning backwoods supremacist
what is your endgame, what is your cause?
your fear projecting exposes your flaws
you thrive on division
but divided we all fall away
you spew out your poison
as i wonder with shock and dismay
why do the loudest voices have nothing to say?

the old ways
06:49

|
the only constant is change
nothing ever stays the same
if we don’t evolve
what progress can be made?
you must be insane
to think things will end differently
the past will repeat
lest we learn from our mistakes
we have to break from tradition
the old ways are not what we need
to bridge our division and become one
we have to break from tradition
the old ways are not what we need
change must be seen
nothing gold can stay
everything will fade away
all that we know
will wither and decay
all time that’s passing is motion
forward we cannot control
embrace the path
and enter the unknown
(and enter the unknown)
all time passing is motion
a river determined to flow
a current that rages
forward forever more
we have to break from tradition
the old ways are not what we need
to bridge our division and become one
we have to break from tradition
the old ways are not what we need
