Miscreant Citizen

Lying awake, you start to take yourself for granted

Nothing you make will ever break, your feet are planted

Chase your golden chariot, you're the one who'll bury it

All the world you're parroting, that's what you're inheriting

Everything you decide to do is automatic

Your points of view are nothing new, it's only static

And when you speak your mind, lay your chips before you

Look around and you will find all your friends ignore you

What you think you know drags you down until you're

Out past the ebb and flow, and it's unfamiliar

Now that you're caught, you're in a know, you can't continue

What have you got? Don't have a thought to spare within you

Hide behind your vanity, compromise your sanity

Swollen pride so passionate, fusing lies to fashion it

Nobody plays, you waste your days so cavalierly

Set in your ways, lost in the haze you love so dearly

Oh, and it's all too much, it's a dangerous diet

You, you have lost your touch, but you still deny it

Running free

Axons awash in a chemical sea

It's such a simple skill, it's a cinch to master

But you never will, you're just spinning faster

You're off the track, you can't go back, you're slowly falling

Into the black and bitter crack that keeps you crawling

Watch your plots go tumbling, feel The Abstract crumbling

All your plans are paralyzed, swallowed up and sterilized

Thought you were smart, a work of art, your own Valhalla

You fell apart, now you can start to do it all again
