Now Dance

Look me in the eyes and tell me why I should trust you

Holding me back my whole life and now you want me to become you

I won't put my own kind through it

Raise them with the will to break the boundaries

Set up by your ancestors

Set up by my ancestors I despise

My children will have to find truths of their own

By wading through society's garbage heap

Through religion's cest pool

Government's overpowering smell

And finally through their own thoughts

It's a hard road

I know the path well, but without that behind me

I would be you and we wouldn't want that now would we?

A diseased bloat of a figure which smells two weeks dead

Half buried in compost heap

Now all mixing together for consistency

A consistency of lumpy pudding

Writhing with maggots and turning into what our ultimate fate is

For all those who live must die

That was your mother

That was your father

And this will be you someday

Now tell me that won't happen

When you know better than that

Maybe you'll take the easy way out

Burn your body away to ash as your skin melts away

And your stomach juices burst through boiling the brain inside

Its pressure cooker evaporating the tears you have left

Bones becoming brittle and crumbling

And finally becoming dust and rock

What if the energy can't be destroyed?

And the patterns of your consciousness still linger

Trapped within your body coherent of the disintegration

You can't prove it would or wouldn't

I can't offer an consolance

So you turn to go in fright

But that space has been empty for eternity

You know better
