For the Truth

 

 

Why should I care about anyone

but me?

I’m too tired to care, anyhow

The joy my possessions bring

Don’t bother me with some

ancient prophecy

 

Blinded by a vision of

what I thought was typical

Lifetime impressions of

what I thought was normal

 

Reflecting inward now

For once I see this could truly be

Monochromatic Soylent Green

True colors I have never seen

Until now

 

Alone I search

Oh, what lies beyond my door

Searching for the truth

Alone I search

Why have I not seen this before

Searching for the truth

 

This is the way it’s always been here

Grinding down one day I may fail you

A gear in the machine

As I am left

Wondering

 

I keep searching for my identity

After all, how will I know?  

 

Reflecting inward now

For once I see this can truly be

Monochromatic Soyulent Green

True colors I have never seen

Until now

 

Searching for the truth

Alone I search

Searching for the truth

 

Thoughts of yesteryear

No use looking back now

Leave this all behind

I will never back down  

 

Knowledge then, like knowledge now

How different would things seem to be

Drastic steps take crazy measures

Insanity stimulate the pleasure  

 

Grand illusions, premonitions

Contradicting logic

The smell of trash, the smell of stench

Flashback to corpses in a trench

 

Facing down the fear

No use looking back now 

 

Something in this body crawls

Operation extract infection

Looking out from this flesh-like husk

A rotting shell, forever haunting

 

Thoughts of yesteryear

No use looking back now

Leave this all behind

Never back…no more
