A Tunnel to Eden

Always overlooked Exists behind the scenes of my world A hunger deep within My perfect self dwells in my shadow Reality goes black as tides of pain recede Thoughts of my daily stressors dissolve from consciousness Take hold of all that matters, a burning light within Dispel all false illusions Return to my perfection Just out of consciousness to hide me from you, hide from all Dig down away from earth I enter a realm of peace I retreat from this existence to embrace a greater form Stripped away from mind and body Endure only as sensation Euphoric, delightful feelings stimulate my useless arms Ripped away from mortal coil to a heaven free from toil This, my end result The justifying of my means Self mutilation, poison is the final cure Reality goes black as tides of pain recede Dispel all false illusions Return to my perfection My shell, my useless corpse of dust Silently, gracelessly crawls over blood and needles A draining pulls from below A haunting, dreading want A terrible need for substance A cry for more The story begins anew The quest for an escape The charred remains of what was once a life exist only to taunt me I retreat from this existence to embrace a greater form Stripped away from mind and body Endure only as sensation Euphoric, delightful feelings stimulate my useless arms Ripped away from mortal coil to a heaven free from toil This, my end result The justifying of my means Self mutilation, poison is the final cure Reality goes black as tides of pain recede Dispel all false illusions Return to my perfection Just out of this, my world exists only pain I’ve been hurt Free from all weaknesses I say my last farewell to you I slip from my shell I move into euphoria A shapeless world with no bounds Never mind the physical and never mind the consequence Just keep on digging further down, and digging and dig Layers of skin just melt away Fall away at a touch, peel away as scabs Sensitivity decreases as the world who never understood Can never understand, will never understand why I dig

They try to dominate Tell us what to think But you believe differently so you are the devil Spreading their white wings to envelope us all Hoping to illuminate Forward their agenda They dismiss what you know intrinsically All you know is a lie Wrong They offer their false proof to everyone All while keeping closed minds Wrong Shouting words of disapproval to those who are content as is Wrong Forcing their precious books straight down your throat and who are you to deny? What kind of fool are you? It’s plain to see You have no proof otherwise Give up your beliefs Widely accepted prophecies Laws to live your life by They were once prosecuted, yet they do the same despite This is a fact, you see It’s objective truth All that you know is faith Why do you blindly accept it as fact? Confirm all the evidence that applies But dare not determine for yourself Condemned by all who disagree You must constantly try Try to back up your beliefs as they repeatedly pry All that you know is faith Why do you blindly accept it as fact? Confirm all the evidence that applies But dare not determine for yourself You are equally as blind as you think I am All your facts are just blind faith Hidden, disguised as truth The blind lead the blind The deaf hear the dumb The dumb smite the deaf The blind shout what they see The deaf hear what they wish The dumb speak no words Hatred has always been directed at those deemed “non-believers” The court may have changed, the audience new, but the rules and bloodshed remain The atheist phenomenon, a church of defiance The new worlds own crusade Hatred will always be the antithesis of tradition and the past’s truth But thesis and antithesis come together Synthesis; born from hate Humans seek their own truth Disagreeing and denying Science and religion function through the same means Hard to accept that what you know is not knowing It’s faith Show us all some proof that is something you have found Words of another do not count as evidence towards objective truth What you believe is all written in some book Just some book Act as though you just know centuries of discoveries These are not your own thoughts Just the ones you believe Force others to explain why they hold their values Object, mock them, hate them Pray upon their faith These are not your own thoughts Just the ones you believe

Four point six billion years Crafting, shaping, molding The final inheritors of God’s land poised to bring it to an end The extinct and the living and all to come bow in the wake of the new gods With a hunger billions strong they spread out and conquer And no other species is safe The prophecy comes true, made in God’s image The perfect race perfected at last The planet now is doomed As they feed, expand, and they wreck Lets celebrate because evolution has worked The final form has come to be Fill the lands from end to end Kill everything and drain the sea Plague runs rampant through populations but constantly defeated by their science The heavens send disasters, viruses and cancer But no amount of rain could douse this fire The blinded masses wonder of the apocalypse But they do not realize their power end Without regard for natural cycles or gradual depletion we’re bleeding the planet dry Plague runs rampant through populations but constantly defeated by their science The heavens send disasters viruses and cancer But no amount of rain could douse this fire Lets celebrate because evolution has worked The final form has come to be Fill the lands from end to end Kill everything and drain the sea A culmination of liars and cut throats rule the world as masses of morons grow fat and tired Without regard for natural cycles or gradual depletion we’re bleeding the planet dry Bear upon your back responsibility for this devastation Created in your image? A little too well, too precise Survival of the fittest is no more Only the fit are alive Witness perfection, masters of famine, pestilence and science Go forth my sons Put this world out of its misery Tear it down Wear down the mountains and build up the valleys Push your boundaries further and further and further; end to end Then build up Grow tall and expand into heaven Dominate that too Strip it all away Leave it bare Leave this world hollow Expand and then do it again

In a world based on social norms, there are those who don’t fit the mold These people... are called insane The machines work feverishly throughout night Never ceasing, always driving Working to keep up the pace, continue producing Dangerous, overheating The surveyors pick those who underperform, the stupid to hold them back, to replace their parts Make them fit in, fix all their problems The slow undergo a furious process to make them right Never ceasing, always changing Working to become the best, to get back in line Constantly made to appease The elites are well versed in machinery Built to coerce the ones who are broken to make them function Why is it that you refuse to stay in the lines? I am asking you please just shut up and give in I know it doesn’t make any sense to you now, but I promise by the end that you won’t even care We’ll medicate, put him under Get the restraints, tie him to the bed Now behave, be one of us Why are you screaming? He resisting, he’s so sick Just listen to us, we know what’s right Why is it that you refuse to make up your mind? I am asking you please just shut up and give in I know it doesn’t make any sense to you now, but I promise by the end you won’t even exist We’ll medicate, put him under Get the restraints, tie him to the bed Now behave, be one of us Why are you screaming? He’s resisting, he’s so sick Just listen to us, we know what’s right Crash, burn, now learn This will not work In our world of social norms, this one does not fit the mold This boy has gone insane Now, tie him down nice and tight, this is not going to go very smoothly I’m going to shove this long metal rod into his eye and fix his brain Good boy, now hold still I would not want to slip up and destroy your mind Good boy, now hold still I would not want to slip up and destroy your mind You have been fixed The empty shell is all that remains The person before now is dead Staring slack-jawed at the wall He’s now much less of a burden We’ll parade him around, a triumph for science Once guilty, now innocent A sweet little angel, he’s helpless now but surely it’s an improvement You have been fixed Now offering a one time solution A cure for mental illness A crude, bloody, but easy trick capable of bringing them into the flock

Love seems so sweet, so important Necessary to survival? I think so Procreate Form a perfect life, forge a perfect world Then cut it in half and throw it away Eviscerate She meets your desires She is all you need And so you work To try to impress Because you don’t know If you can keep living alone She doesn’t like it So live a lie And wear a smile Don’t pretend that you don’t know The stone drags down as dead weight You cannot claw your way back to the top The air flows from within as drowning screams And is replaced by years of suffering Love seems so vile, unimportant Necessary to survival? I think not Procreated Set off with good intentions, came back with only regret And now you want a bullet in a brain Hers or yours? You stick around It’s what you know You can be happy Don’t pretend that you don’t know You’re dying inside But there’s no escape Just keep on acting One of you will surely break The stone drags down as dead weight You cannot claw your way back to the top The air flows from within as drowning screams And is replaced by years of suffering Better or worse Its always worse Maddening Disdain Suffering Chained together by promises and deceit And all the while you keep feigning your smile The stone drags down as dead weight You cannot claw your way back to the top The air flows from within as drowning screams And is replaced by years of suffering Forever is a long time to spend with your own bane Love fleets so fast, time does not And now you just want it to waste away

The beast feeds within Feasting on my blood With malicious intent Teeth that rip I feel it tearing organs And shredding hope It’s clawing at my stomach With claws that burn I cannot shake this This feeling of self-loathing I cannot take this This gradual suicide Something or someone eats away at the back of my mind, my identity Scouring my every thought and notion Turning pure thoughts into murder The beast takes control of our shared body Doing as I only watch Spectate helplessly I feel it slowly take all I am Waves overflowing Our consciousness I cannot shake this This feeling of self-loathing I cannot take this This gradual suicide Something or someone eats away at the back of my mind, my identity Scouring my every thought and notion Turning pure thoughts into murder I must fight the black that has now appeared Within my veins Inch by inch I’ll take control Relearn how to stay my hand My mind is torn apart Ripped in two Consciousness ripped in twain Looking to find the root Cut the head off this, my possessor So a war rages in my head I fight with all My strength is not enough to fight I lose track of the defining seam We begin to meld We begin to mesh I will tolerate no more of this behavior from you I have worked to raise us up, and I have worked to drag you down I have worked raise me up, I have worked to pull you down I have worked to make me great; I have worked to make you small I will work to dominate; I will work to possess all I will soon exterminate whatever piece of you remains I accept this offering It’s all for me It’s always been for me This is no longer yours As we are now only one As we go forward Take comfort I will bring us to an end

Encased in darkness all alone, drowned a sea of my plight Being pulled farther down Voices, muffled, far away, shrieks of pain and terror Being forced out of my world There is light Crying for mercy There is blood Hoping for sympathy Filthy and naked I’m pulled from the womb I scream and am blinded by fear This is our son and he will be great and he will make us proud There is light Crying for mercy There is blood Hoping for sympathy Everyones smiling, amused by my pain This world is a cold heartless place He is so healthy and he looks so strong and he's excited to live This is what we’ve worked for The miracle of life He will grow and he will love us Why does he seem terrified? Our lives are changed now for good It feels as good as they’ve said Such a shame this newborn babe will inevitably end up dead I want to go back, but what is this? I am so ravenous Insatiable thirst for mothers milk So cold, helpless, cannot fight, Arms of the giants embrace Squeezing me tightly and whispering evil What shall we call this child? Who shall we force him to be? Pass the child Clean the child Feed the child Love the child Who are these monsters round me? What is this body I'm in? Who is this person I am expected to become? Birthed into the physical Its laws are beyond me My scope of reference pales Limitless possibilities Who defines the formula? Who assigns the punishments? Who designed the cage I’m in? What have I done? Who consigned and left me here? Who decides who is to blame? Who decides that I am wrong? Who is in control? Force fed whats right Will does not apply Made to quiet down Will does not apply Will does not apply You cannot define Will does not apply You cannot survive Doomed to work with whats been given to me Can not ascend from what I am Must work to survive Ask not why I’ve come to wreck your life The blame lies with you, I had no choice And I know that its a shame We never get to choose where we start But we get a say in what we do and how it will come apart

Self Awareness finally I’m no longer puzzled By what I am now I am a child So much expected of me Grow up, obey, learn I know what I must do Grow strong, be a man Subservient to my masters Everyone is above me I will learn who I am Mother Nurse me, clean me, and teach how I am to act To young as yet to write the rules Maybe some day that will change I will be what I wish Learning Language, faces and shapes Society’s rule over me Strangers are in charge Schooling followed by work Life goes on and I grow and things change Then things change and I grow, life goes on I am getting sick of this Being under your foot Life goes on and I grow and things change Then things change and I grow, life goes on Forge an identity other than somebody’s slave I will work to free myself from society’s evil grip, its hatred of the individual I will break the bonds that were forced on me at birth “Man is born free but everywhere is in chains” -Rousseau I am forced to work, to learn a trade, to earn my keep I am told to slow, settle and find another I have become what I have feared most, a spouse, a dad, I’m chained I’m no longer free to pursue my dreams, my destiny has run its course Born into this world I was free of sins, but not without a path carved in stone by generations of the same men I’m trapped and I cannot get out! I struggle with the chains on my feet but the harder at them that I pull, the links become more entangled and ensnared I’m tired I give in I will conform If I must I’ll play by the rules And I do and when I do I succeed Now I’m getting old I prepare for my rest I look back at what I’ve done, at what I’ve created Maybe my kin can break the chains that have bound me from first light Maybe the new generation can fix the problems that have plagued mine

Now with all the knowledge And skills gained in life I move into exile I’ve said my goodbyes I’ve conquered every plain My body is satisfied Created, Destroyed, Questioned I need only to die As I’ve continued to grow I’ve noticed With one blink of an eye What was abundant now absent And it’s impossible to stay in one state With each passing second The present problems become the past Grow no more Terminate A concept debated for years So final, so solid, so absolute A word feared by every soul Each heart beats frantically in cowardice As I’ve continued to grow I’ve noticed With one blink of an eye What was abundant now absent And it’s impossible to stay in one state With each passing second This generation becomes the past It is time Initiate I came with nothing I’ll leave with knowledge I’m at my end I embrace for the final moments With everyone grasping for straws Trying to explain The meaning of it all, and how to die The message is repeated by billions We don’t know, we just don’t know And I’m just trying to explain Trying to move on Trying to accept my age With my head tilted back My throat open, I scream to the Gods With such intensity my throat fills with blood I tell the sky, I’m ready to die A gasp for air, I fall to the ground Once body, now merely a corpse My skin shreds, my bones go to dust My blood boils and seeps through the soil What’s left, a soul left unbound Now begins a sought after passage Dark encompassed, I search for a light The smoke and fog engulf all around Terrified shrieks turn to laughs I cannot feel but am filled with sensation Come below the world and find Punishment for all your crimes A river of tortured souls Flows forth to a mouth of enormous size Swallowed, cleansed in acid Surrounded by prying eyes Join us as we all sit here for all of time and repent our past mistakes, and curse the god who breathed our breath into our lungs in the first place Cut the thread I have felt so certain But now I’m not sure that I’m ready to leave I have yet to even consider the possibility of oblivion Or if it’s Hell that awaits me at the light Feel the drain Feel no pain What of the end? What will I become? Where will I go? Why did I live? What was the point? What did I gain? Did I ask for this life? When it’s your time to go, it’s your time to go I never asked for this I feel this is unfair Ready I need more time Or I am so afraid Not I lied to myself Die I don’t want to die As I’ve continued to grow I’ve noticed With one blink of an eye What was abundant now absent And it’s impossible to stay in one state With each passing second The present era the past Grow no more Terminate It is time Begin Decay This is the end Pack all your things Say your goodbyes And evacuate
