Absurd Psychometry

So you think you got me figured out
Oh yeah you really got my number
But let me tell you now
You haven't got a goddamn clue
Expose me to expose me
You'll never get what makes me tick
And I don't care that you don't
Is it your purpose to redirect me
I won't resist, have a go
Let's all have a laugh
Psychically torn in half
A spectacle for all to see
Attempt to unravel me
A seeming battle of wills
Testing your gifted skills
Your motives come to light
I won't even put up a fight
Now your psyche is alert
You'll receive your just desserts
For trying to analyze me
With your absurd psychometry
Now how proud you must be
You unlocked my mystery
Mentally erased and cleaned the slate
Content in your catatonic state

It's nighttime and I'm on city streets
The city seems to be deserted
No lights are on either in buildings or streetlights
Instead there are speakers on poles on all the street corners
A muffled voice in monotone is emitting from them
I can't make out the words but I know he's speaking to me
A helicopter is in the sky with it's searchlight on
And I've been hiding from it
These horrible visions
Will I never be free of them
Searching, accusing
I'll never escape from them
I'm in a dimly lit room speaking to someone
I can't quite make out their face
A man bursts through the door and starts to strangle me
His grip is too strong I can't break it
The person I was speaking to has disappeared
The man choking me is screaming at the top of his lungs
He keeps screaming I'll have your soul
It goes on and on but I never die

Future Surreal
05:53

Lo and behold
Once your future now your past
Should have known security
Would never last
The atrocities of the past will not compare
To the horrors we will have to bear
Stand tall and wipe away your tears
Force yourself to face your fears
Future Surreal
It's unthinkable, difficult to concieve
What we've consumed was meant to decieve
Sedating yourself greedily quenching thirst
But we've not hardly seen the worst
Future Surreal
Now you can see what the future holds
It's much worse than what you'd been told
Hot winds of time will sear and sear
Torn from your shelter to confront your fears
Your subconscious can't block what you feel
Forced to face the future surreal

Clarity
07:12
|

|
As we approach the end of the road
Do you mean to tell me it was a lie
What do I do with this information
Is it supposed to provide clarity
It's that special moment when you realize
That the joke was on you
Relish the smirks on their faces
Knowing you've only yourself to blame
I see it all clearly now
Illusions cast aside
True intention laid bare
At the expense of your pride
Savor the sting because moments are fleeting
Make sure to enjoy the burn
Time may lessen this awful sensation
And that would mean no lesson learned
Exposed and transparent I see your lies shining
Forcing my eyes to dilate
The truth may be painful but clarity is cleansing
And I will accept this fate

Discarded
08:06
|

|
When the end comes you'll know it
You will understand when your scars glow red
You won't be notified, simply pulled aside
You've been discarded
The thankless task of living, no incentive given
Just rendered obsolete
Thrown on the scrap heap, no longer useful
You've been discarded
Banished to this grey stone limbo
Metallic eyes won't see you
Invisible to the desired
Ghost like and expired
Didn't you know this was reserved for you all along
You haven't got the right to be surprised
Surrender yourself to the inevitable
Realized far too late
Searching endlessly, trying all in vain
To gain familiarity
Hoping against all hope someone will remember
And breathe life back into me
Aimlessly wondering, wearing grooves in the sand
That no one else can see
Condemned to obscurity, annonymous to the world
Until even your name is lost

Friends No More
05:57

Friends until the end, isn't that what we said
Comrades thicker than blood
Lending a hand or even a shoulder to cry on
I really thought that we were that close
It threw me just how quickly you turn
I must admit it caught me off guard
Going where your bread is buttered
Do you even feel genuine emotion
For anyone but yourself
The cycle of history is repeating
Proving you are an emotional weakling
Who will be your crutch - when you fall
Friends no more
Lower than a lying whore
Helplessly bent to your masters law
Friends no more
You pulled the shortest straw
Friends no more
A fairweather friend of convenience
Are we only here to pick up the pieces
Like we've done so many times before
Not this time, in the end
When you're scattered in the wind
I'll turn my head when you fall
What a joke, thick or thin
WHen the cards fell you cashed your chips in
Convincing yourself that it's not true
Lying to yourself, you feel like a fool
But you wont practice what you preach
Attached to a dysfunctional leech
Taken it too far, can't you see
Forcefeeding yourself a false reality

Wake up each morning and look into the mirror
And see the same face
Wake up each morning to greet the new day
But it's always the same
I'm drowning, I'm burning
In the grips of depression
I'm yelling, I'm screaming
In the grips of depression
I don't envy your fantastic life
How could I miss something I've never known
They say you should turn to someone who cares for you
But I've always been alone
I'm wallowing, sinking
In the grip of depression
I'm choking, smothering
In the grip of depression
Loathing life becomes an obsession
Quickly becoming emotional destruction
No passion in life or one single friend
Everyone deserted me in the end

Break Your Heart
03:11
|

Life's just a series of events
This is the path I choose for mine
But before you take this winding trail
Make sure you don't waste our time
Don't purchase what you can't afford
A life of labor with no reward
If you can't finish, don't even start
Because this life will break your heart
Raise your voice and stake your claim
But you and only you will take the blame
Stand up straight and face your fears
Or just fall down into a puddle of tears
The goodand bad will both give their share
And don't complain that it's not fair
Steady your resolve, don't fall apart
Because this life might break your heart
Wine, women and fifteen minutes of fame
When your run is over will they remember your name
You'll find the glamour's nothing but a fable
Nothing's free what will you bring to the table
Walk the line with no regrets
Cross your fingers and hedge your bets
Keep your horse before the cart
High expectations will break your heart
Be prepared to pay your dues
And be a slave to your own muse
It will rip you and pick you apart
Chance's are it'll break your heart
