Clarity

Without a word uttered

A comparison is drawn

A distant future, a cluttered past

Amid the stars

Vague yet persistent

Thought lacking consistency

Unwilling victim of farce

The loudest voices scream uninspired

Their numbers vast, their spirits strong

Quiet choices sing against the choir

The majority is almost never wrong

Never wrong, ever, never wrong

A laughable assertion that

There might be some connection

(Smoke-filled halls)

Adorn the walls with mirrors and misdirection

Or let it go

No common thread

No ties that bind

Just grasping at threads

And keep in mind

Historical analysis

They play a separate role

But one contributes more to the whole

Like a saucer sep let's separate

Let's separate

And shuffle off this conflict

My armament will suffocate, will suffocate

And leave you feeling useless

We are your beginning

And we will be your end

Affluence permitting

A mutual annihilation

A laughable assertion that

There might be some connection

(Smoke-filled halls)

Adorn the walls with mirrors and misdirection

Or let it go

Discussion moot

Argument ended

An aggressive mute

Stumbling defendant

Fiction versus fantasy

One fact remains unclear

How you pretend both franchises

Stand solely on one tier

We are your beginning

And we will be your end

Affluence permitting

A mutual annihilation

I don't care who shot first

Or for the song and dance you've rehearsed

A mutual annihilation

I don't care who shot first

Or for the song and dance that you've rehearsed

The maps are divided

And each are traversed

Alignment in flux

For better or worse

Is the drain finally swirling

Or are we swirling the drain?

This drought is relieved with acid rain

This drought is relieved with acid rain

(We are) we are your beginning (your beginning)

And we will be your end (we will be your end)

Affluence permitting a mutual annihilation
