i watch the way you flow

between what i say and what i do 
seems to have no effect on you
until your end ill see you through
seems to have no effect on you
between what i say and what i do 
seems to have no effect on you

I wish I could focus
one of a billion locusts
who's trying to eat my way through living 
pebble across water 
sinks when it stops skimming 
not sure what I want from me 
wish more people believed in me 
all I trust is my self doubt 
worshipper at the church of nothing
disciple most devout

wish I could believe in things I can not see 
instead of running around in circles wasting energy 
I amount to all I know which is nothing more than you 
no reason to read my lips when my eyes say fuck you

back of my retinas mirror myself contempt 
all my un-confessed crimes 
my apathetic verbal responses
a battlefield littered with jumping jack mines
look at you and still dream of what I could be 
To carry the sword of life is what you make it
hide behind the shield 
of what is meant is meant to be.

Meant is meant to be

Meant is meant to be 

To carry the sword of life is what you make it 
hide behind the shield of what is meant is meant to be.

[spoken]
some people are unable to apply the basic principles of common sense to their chaotic and dysfunctional lives.
struggling to identify with what is considered as human decency fair play and even right from wrong.
with the misinterpretation that freedom and choice is a god given right to set low standards that they them selves often fail to achieve

some people stereotype and categorise others that they consider as their lesser, as trouble makers, anarchists or criminals, for having opinions outside the frame work of what they might consider as normal, overreacting to opposition  with high levels of force, whether verbal or physical, using the justification that theirs is the true path of righteousness and all must bow before their will

Some people revel in self glorification, thinking about only what they want and manipulating how best they can achieve this goal. Sacrificing love, family, camaraderie and  honour in the soul pursuit of materialistic wealth. Consuming all around them in a lustful display of selfish decadence, with no remorse, emotion or feeling for those they have destroyed along the way.

Some people are empty and shallow, clutching only at darkness in their hollow hearts, pitying no one but themselves, ridiculing all for their failures though too cowardly to attempt a difficult or challenging  life changing journey of their own.

Some people are just wicked and evil for no reason other than they find comfort in the suffering of others. Poisoning the innocent where by moulding the future generations to follow in their twisted and perverted footsteps. Hateful of all life hiding behind the black flag that this is theirs, the purpose to their existence.

For some people, death can not come quick enough. 
This is a thought that often flickers across my reasoning. I am at ease with the idea that  my life has significance only to myself, though i am aware that I am  in danger of becoming the enemy i fight with my negative views of those i consider as the poison within the human machine.
Fear of change is more potent than the change itself, but the fear of the beast who dwells within us all is the dark brooding paranoia that is able to motivate each one of us to fantastic heights of personal achievement or to the depths of unfathomable human atrocity .
I am the animal who could be the catalyst that would wipe each and every one of you off the face of this earth.

future sound of nowhere
now here now past
you tried and you died
we knew you'd never last
done and dusted and never remembered
legacy marked by petrol soaked embers 
jaded and faded
then shot up and degraded
everything for nothing so easily traded
get in line and take your turn
so many mistakes and nothing left to learn

jaded and faded
then shot up and degraded
everything for nothing so easily traded
get in line and take your turn
so many mistakes and nothing left to learn

same situation as far as i can see
snatch at anything that comes along for free
you want your nothing like i would care
take it all its yours to share
life is pain devoid of relief
search in the ruins to find your belief

forever bested untested and arrested
by the choosers and the abusers of human kind
a generation nearing genocide
wiped out by its old age
apathy replaces the rage
the anger the discontent
trapped by work and rent
our minds in ashes 
our wills destroyed
passing from unfulfilled to unemployed
and back again
nothing left to defend

(who's there-what's there-who cares-whats there)

you want your nothing like i would care
take it all its yours to share
life is pain devoid of relief
search in the ruins to find your belief

same situation i can see 
nothing is the abundance it all comes for free
life is pain devoid of relief
search in the ruins for your belief

future sound of nowhere
now here now past
you tried and you died
we knew you'd never last
done and dusted and never remembered
legacy marked by petrol soaked embers 
jaded and faded
then shot up and degraded
everything for nothing so easily traded
get in line and take your turn
so many mistakes and nothing left to learn
