I hear your tears fall on the window pane.
Bring an end to the tragedy.
Not a pain to the nth degree.
Waiting for your new game to begin.
Just another slot machine.
You’re forever gambling…

With my emotions you take every liberty.
My devotion leaves me torn like an artery.
Bleeding out, I won’t last long.
And what’s worse is you’ve already moved on.

Screams of rage to hide your malice.
Too many strings you pull on.
Manipulation is your duty.
Waving goodbye as if you do care.
Silencing your detractors.
Leave them with a glassy stare.

With ill will you take every life you wish.
My hesitation will only slit my wrist.
Bleeding out, I won’t last long.
And what’s wrong is you’ve already moved on.

Psycho killer dressed to impress.
Upon innocents you put a test.
Leave them weak so you can prevail.
Forever swear to always bail.
Save your skin and sneak away.
Coward scum is your true identity.
No conviction resides inside.
You are nothing but a vapid soulless divide!

Illusion of choice has begun to take root.
Autocratic regime masked as democracy.
Taking out freedom and replacing it with conformity.

Bow to your masters cloaked in the shadows.
You are their pawns…
And don’t even know.
That soon you will go to war.
All so you can die in a mist of bloody gore.

Piece by piece erosion will claim your mind.
Box you into until you turn worse than blind.
Sticking to all the rules they force on you.
Managed leadership that they hide from view.

Bow to your masters cloaked in the shadows.
You are their pawns…
And don’t even know.
That soon you will go to war.
All so you can die in a mist made from blood and gore.

Sacrifice is an identity.
At least to those in power way above thee.
Firing down demands into the mass.
Screw if you want to dodge the draft.
Conscription driven into your brain.
This is all staged terror to make you play their game.
With no mercy or reprieve.
This new world order is a disease.
Growing stronger every day.
Soon it will consume ever ordinary,
Soul who’s ever had a dream.
Cause those in charge want you die and scream!

Bow to your masters cloaked in the shadows.
You are their pawns…
And don’t even know.
That soon you will go to war.
All so you can die just a little more.

Reset the contract that you never signed.
Slave to the trade of what you always despise.
Hemmed in and strung out like you wouldn’t believe.
Today is murky while tomorrow will be sleaze.

Paint in monochrome.
Here I feel so cold and alone.
Disjointed and removed from a core.
All this malice is beyond a bore.

Sold out.
Screwed down.

Tortured by martyrs who see nothing but fog.
Over the top is how this routes become a slog.
Watered down until I’m begging to drown.
Conspiracy to turn my smile permanently upside-down.

Impaled upon a crown.
Ruptured by too calm.
Sheeple neighbourhood.
Sick, tired, worn, butchered…
Evicted sanity!

Paint in monochrome.
Here I feel so cold and alone.
Disjointed and removed from a core.
All this malice is beyond a bore.

Sold out.
Screwed down.

Give me colour.
Fix this squalor.
Sever these limitations.

There are times when the greatest action is inaction.
Contradiction wrapped in stupidity.
I hear you say it, even if its only mentally.
Yet its true and you should take heed.
It’ll help you to simply be.
Exist and drink in what surrounds.
Not always being hubris bound.

Cry for peace.
Pray for quiet.
All this noise makes you sick and tired.
Grating senses will burn your will.
Before too long you’ll be ill!

Silence can be the loudest thing you can hear.
What utter nonsense you think I’m speaking here.
Yet these words are true when you think.
You just have to not pre-judge it.
For over analysis is quiet a disease.
Especially when its easier to say than do.
Still you can learn it to.

Cry for peace.
Pray for quiet.
All this noise makes you sick and tired.
Grating senses will burn your will.
Before too long you’ll be ill!

Sit out on the porch for a while.
No intent as I watch the sun descend.
Thoughts ebbing and flowing.
Memories surface then fade away.
Feels like freedom to me.
With no rush to fill my head.
Natures sounds are relaxing.
Quite different to always ploughing through.
Rather than taking time to soak up what’s surrounding you.
Never planned to be quite this wired.
Fixed on a treadmill of someone else’s desires.
Yet sadly that’s where I have been.
Hence why I’ve always been pushing.
Now I see that I’ve been a fool.
Need to learn to take my foot off the mule.
Hang back and enjoy this time that I have.
Instead of forever following a direct path.
For peace comes with acceptance and serenity.
Not rushing headlong into a new entity.
And so here I sit watching as the world spins.
Couldn’t be more attuned with simply being.

Empathy will fill your heart.
Joy will give you a jumpstart.
Show your colours and wear them proud.
Don’t let other people’s negativity cloud…

Its easy to sink into our world’s misery.
But if you look past the pain you’ll find positivity.
So much beauty everywhere you look.
With kindness flowing from every nook.
Drink it in and feel the swell.
Rise knowing better days are on the horizon.

Offer aid with a warm smile.
Don’t get all snippy with a tone of bile.
For manners cost absolute zero.
I know you can be a super hero.

Invite others with arms wide open.
Conflict will only bring more blame.
Its why inclusion is such an important topic.
For there is no need to magnify division.
Sow seeds of hate with snap decisions.
Instead just accept people and let them be who they want to be.

Rise above this malice which surrounds.
Wading through it will otherwise cause you to drown.

What gifts does it hold but sinking?
None and that’s how I’m now thinking.
So I cut to save what matters.
Instead of embrace this toxic fathom.

Daring is better than going along.
Wound up will only do more harm.
So I now see it as pointless to me.
Is a distraction that has no momentum.
Holds me in place rather than allows me to increase.
And so if you push I’ll mentally walk away.

Tables have turned and this game is not yours.
These rules are mine now and you won’t be included.

Damn this struggle and all its tries to drain.
What is the reason to continue in pain?
None and so I shall disconnect.
I know this is not what you would expect.

Security to peace.
Release!
Breathe out and enjoy.
Life needs to be less struggle than joy.
Absent of grinding away.
Sometimes silence is what I should be.

Narcissistic nagging with endless decay.
Sick of listening to this every day.
Leave me out so I can march on.
For all this negativity is doing great harm.
Pounding heads against concrete.
In the end you’ll be nothing but weak.

Separate and sever these ties.
Blank out all of this idiot rise.
Peace is more important than power or fame.
Its why I’m choosing to bring an end to this game!

Parasitic greed born with fake smiles.
Guiding hands that dole out new lies.
Sick of the warring that keeps all angry.
Running in circles is like begging to fray.
With little but echoes trapped in your mind.
Ultimately you’ll become confined by this bind.

Separate and sever these ties.
Blank out all of this idiot rise.
Peace is more important than power or fame.
Its why I’m choosing to bring an end to this game!

If I don’t I might crumble.
Spend eternity in a stumble.
Be falling flat with no reason to try.
Pounded like trash until all I can do is cry.
Into a void that sits without remorse.
Desperate for a final divorce.
From the torment that’s become a connection.
Offering no respite from a self-pitying obsession.

Writhe in the deep of our darkest dome.
Right where we sleep is what we call home.
No one will step across our threshold.
You should know we’re like dogs with a bone.

No one will stop our commitment.
Forever after will come an incremental attack on you.
Made your bed and you’ll die in it too.

Step from the steppes into this quaint little town.
Every villager you see wears a frown.
Self-importance rules their heads.
Too busy loitering away hours in their sheds.

You can’t stop our advancing.
Whittle down their resources ’til they wish to beg.
For their dishonour they will be dead.

Flounder.
Plead like a fool.
Counter.
Us against you.
Plural.
For we are legion.
Demented.
By your acts of treason.
