Staring up at the heavens.
All i want is to roam amongst the stars.
Eager to see what wonder awaits in systems near and far.
Sadly these are dreams I’ll never see.
Though it doesn’t mean I won’t hope they’ll come to be.
For our future is in exploration.
We can achieve it with dedication.
Gain a greater understanding of everything.
All it takes is a bit of unifying.
Rather than squabble amongst ourselves.
Put dreams up on unreachable shelves.
By devoting funds to death and war.
Money better spent on ending poverty and flaw.
Raising all ships rather than just a few.
Some call it socialism.
I call it a better thing to do.
Than force oppression, hate and greed.
Step on those who are not your creed.
Has violence not reigned long enough?
Instead we should attempt an age of trust.
So stand with me if that is what you believe.
Help us change course before we cease to breathe.

Stay your hand or drive in deep.
You’re a brazen fool so you’ll take it neat.
Preparation for your war.
Send out your masses of poor.
For they lack value, in your eyes.
Why you won’t care if they are swarmed by flies.
In fields of rotten stinking remains.
After all you care for are momentum gains.
For domination is your grail.
You hold in aloft and claim it does never fail.
But underestimate people under your boot,
And they will see you skinned like a newt.
With no remorse or wish for pause.
See you should’ve read the central clause.
The bit where it says you work for them.
And disobeying will see you hanging.

What is this core state?
Born here to manipulate.
Feed the old machine.
Don’t fuel what can’t be our dream.
For failure is next door.
So raise a glass, toast this war!

Freedom is a notion bought only by those with means.
Everyone else gets a glimpse purely to keep them serene.
Subdued by a promise that they will never taste.
Instead they’ll be fed and raised on human waste.

Where is redefine?
For he’s not holding the line.
Sacrifice some more.
All to compete for more score.
Aim to keep it close.
Utter bullshit, its all verbose.

Freedom is a notion bought only by those with means.
Everyone else gets a glimpse purely to keep them serene.
Subdued by a promise that they will never taste.
Instead they’ll be fed and raised on human waste.

Build deceivers.
Fashion reason.
This is not what we were promised.
Fuse the wires.
Silence non liars.
Rigged our pathways out of darkness.
Breakout doea not exist.
Propaganda.
None of us will be missed.

Freedom is a notion bought only by those with means.
Everyone else gets a glimpse purely to keep them serene.
Subdued by a promise that they will never taste.
Instead they’ll be fed and raised on human waste.

Only to be replaced.
Then completely erased.
Victim in silence.
Buried in violence.

Look at our culmination.
Not as far as we should be.
What happened to our expectation?
Feels like it split into one hundred eigthy three.

Squandering all our talents.
Cycling our same misdeeds.
Wasting precious time with massive greed.

Are we in final stages?
Seems as if we are to me.
What did we do with all those pages?
Stuffed them full of hate, rage, division and misery.

Squandering all our talents.
Cycling our same misdeeds.
Wasting precious time with massive greed.

So why is this a pattern we keep following?
Are we so arrogant to think we have no end?
Do we believe we’ll go round again?
Buy time back as if its for sale.
Truly expect we will never fail.
Answer me!
Somebody!

Give me a breakdown.
Tell me what makes us unique.
Cause I don’t see the rationale.
Only our species starting to creak.

Squandering all our talents.
Cycling our same misdeeds.
Wasting precious time with massive greed.

Squandering all our talents.
Cycling our same misdeeds.
Wasting precious time with massive amounts of shortsighted reckless greed!

I’m the one winged angel with a devils smile.
Push me too far and you’ll see vicious style.
Not a brag more like a constant.
Like if you bring goons, I’ll bring pure torment.

Tear limb from limb until nothing remains.
Compared to me you play children’s games.
Just remember that when you cross the line.
For everything I do could put in tight confines.
With knives in your space and a flash of white teeth.
Whiplash fast I can end your belief.
For its all bravado without any content.
Hide away unless you wanna swim in cement.

Promises issued wrong.
Demon, demon, murder song.
Bird flashing its talons more.
Suicidial rant from four.

Cause I’m the one winged angel with a devil’s smile.
Push me too far and you’ll see vicious style.
Statement I repeat to ensure you know.
After all none of this is part of some magic show.

Warped remnant memory.
One and two equals three.
Tie the knot then cut it loose.
I embody all misuse.

As a one winged devil with an angel’s hide.
See through the garb and you will soon die.
For secrets are meant to remain that way.
If you do not abide then I’ll brand you happily.

Electric surging across my skin.
I’m radiant with energy which shouldn’t be a thing.
Does that mean I shy away?
No, I face the masses as they stare at me.

Cause I’m not a monster or some kind of freak.
All I am is a wee bit different.

So if you aren’t like all the rest don’t hide in the shadows.
Don’t wish you could change.
Grab the bull by the horns and make it see reality.
Different does not mean wrong.
What you are you are, now come on.
Stand up straight.
Shout, I’m alive.
Cause its time for you to thrive!

Voices rolling round in my head.
So many talking even when I need pause to ease my pounding head.
Does it mean I’m going mad?
Nope, I’m just pyschic enabled like my dad.

Not a monster or some kind of freak.
Just a wee bit different.

So if you aren’t like all the rest don’t hide in the shadows.
Don’t wish you could change.
Grab the bull by the horns and make it see reality.
Different does not mean wrong.
What you are you are, now come on.
Stand up straight.
Shout, I’m alive.
Cause its time for you to thrive!

What is the reason and where is the line?
I’m stumbling backward like I commited a crime.
So many voices screaming loud in my ear.
To make them go away I might neck nineteen beer.
Not a true fix but the sort I can get behind.
For it might buy me some time to unwind.
Yet I know before long shouting will resume.
Angrier than ever as they endlessly fume.
Enraged by my attempts to quieten them down.
All of the madness will result in a frown.
For joy is a feeling I never get to wield.
That’s why I am forever braced behind a shield.

Addiction is no solution.
Only breeds more confusion.
Reignites my war within.
Sends me toward ground in a spin.

Knowing my options but evading the root.
Rather be dodging and hiding than making them moot.
Sense of satisfaction I do not deserve.
For truth is I have no more reserves.
They’re drier than a desert that is two seasons without rain.
Instead all I feel is deeper burrowing pain.

Addiction is no solution.
Only breeds more confusion.
Reignites my war within.
Sends me toward ground in a spin.

Shortsighted.
Unrequited.
This is all what I did to myself.
Carved alive.
No chance to thrive.
Obliterated all my health.

Travesty chiselled into stone.
What is this, its not my home.
Paralytic and unapproving.
No longer do I hear voices of soothing.
Drove away everyone dear to me.
Now what remains is only those of insincerity.
What a state to have self inflicted.
If I didn’t know better I’d say it was scripted.

Up in the high tower of this long standing castle.
Views are spectacular yet life is a debacle.
Imprisonment by her eldest half sibling.
Claims he is protecting her from something.
Never will he say what the something is.
Her doubt flows like rivers down a mountain.

Then one day war comes close to her eyes.
Seeing it waged she burned fires alongside issuing cries.
Attained the interest of this invading force.
So much so their entire contingent changed course.
Before long her castle was surrounded.
Ultimatum delivered to her half brother who was confounded.

Heart won over mind and so he paid with his life.
Her tower breached she concealed a knife.
Uncertain of intent until their eyes met.
Her heart fluttered sure there was no threat.
Invading princess was a beauty unmatched.
Trapped princess adored her so much that to them she latched.

Mutual feeling overwhelmed the invading woman.
Transfixed they undertook a union.
Burned the prison castle to ash and dust.
Never could it have been left untouched.
And soon after the princesses departed for more conquest.
After all they had both faced what remained would never be a test.

Forty winters and still they stand side by side.
This pair have been on a hell of a ride.
Liberating those oppressed who now dwell in freedom.
A mirror of what happened to both of them.
For at one time invading princess had too been locked up mercilessly.
Now those days are but a distant and faded memory.

Is this state desensitisation?
Am I due some cognitive recalibration?
No more, no less.
Is this real or a sickness?
Do not know.
Cannot say.
Cut me, will I bleed today?

Staring at the tv screen.
Entire world feels like an endless dream.
Nightmare in motion.
Demands utter devotion.
Life stealing.
Always thieving.
Confined and imprisoning!

Battered bones bleached by wars.
What was mine has become all yours.
Warped belief of what you deserve.
Spy on all, perv.
You are disease.
You are crime.
Where is the fucking line?

Broken in threes.
Feed new beliefs.
Dowse them in ash.
Hand them more cash.

Indebted to reprised suffering!

Is this state desensitisation?

No more, no less.

Outrage in me has declined.
Sometimes I wish I could rewind.
To refuel that fire and have it burning bright.
Feel it blaze through day and night.
Stoke it higher so it roars.
Takes on a new life with giant clawed paws.

My disgust has been eroded.
At one time it was stocked and loaded.
A vast powder keg ready to go kaboom.
Take out every idiot gathered like a loon.
But time has changed me now.
No longer am I on the verge of making such a vow.

Hatred is no longer my key.
It does not keep that spark in me.
Pleased to say that I have mellowed down.
Won’t happily wear a spiked crown.
When it happened I don’t know.
Not that I am complaining one bit though.

Peace has come swimming in.
I feel it in my every minute of being.
Never did I think I would be quite so calm.
Its as though I hold the world in my palm.
What a thing it is to say.
Its why I’m smiling every single day.
