Exit Paradise

Numb body blank emotion Senses dulled feelings frayed Life chord severed torn betrayed Now born aÿvoid I've never known Blank stiff stare Focus on nothing The blur between my severed mind Can you feel my voids in yours Can you feel my rage below Deeper down Iÿpush the pain Could not foresee the final blow Tightening knot clenched innards The numbness ebbs and fades An anger burns Ripped from within me bled dry Drain exit complete Escape the emptiness Mindless motions of each day Here in the after Nothing feels the same What was to burn What flared then broke Beneath the strain And to the past Iÿsteer my mind And sink into my thoughts For here Iÿsee you clearest As the present blurs And slips from vision But as each day fades to the next Your place in my mind deepens Iÿresist, tighten my loossened grip And feel the void consume Feel the cruel fade of time Image sinking, open wound Smothered flame once burned To ash descend, lifeline to end So cold

Stressing the fracture Breathing brings pain Though infinity remains Strength is gone Provoke the confrontation Building strain burning combustion Everlasting stain Hunt begins, over time Inching closer the pray am I Then divide, circle low Into the system vultures go Lashing out at those who are pure You stare right through me The dull rusty edge That has become my mood You are sold you bought the mold And now your eyes see only The place you think I hold In the machine That owns your sold I defy your sunken mind To judge me by your own design Hypocrite laughter, averted gaze You drift through life in robotic Haze Breeding, slowly shaping Manipulating, twisted shape Conforms Now locked in motion of the blind When did they start To mold your thoughts Trained to be one of many When did you shut off Questions in your mind Betray yourself and fall in line Where status now dictates the rule Loss of all hope, failed source The hardened mold constricts What once was free Society's victim, you You choke on yours I'll choke on mine To your hypocrisy you're blind Below the surface Who do you despide Your feeble self stripped of their lie

The making of a mind without The process of error To lose access, to control The greater of all thought without Fear or emotion To program to think to learn Technology abyss Mass productions of the errorless minds Soon a helpless maker Robotic genetics Limitations in reality Artificial intelligence Assemble, construct the thought pattern Deadly repercussions of science No thoughts of self Breaking down the mind Under one control, forging Obedience like a dog Complete domination Electricity the life's blood Walking thin lines To deaden is to live Efficiency without feeling Now your soul is lost Wielding immense power Without fear or emotion In man's struggle The rights of life Uniform command Erosion in all unity Imprisoned by intelligence Imprisoned by progress Industrial empire The greater of all thought Production of a mind The power of creation Now a silent God Trapped in this hollow shell Trapped in the abyss Technological cell Electronic living hell In this anarchy lives Among the strong I shall stand I will never surrender I live

Caught off guard Or I was even on Forcing me down hard Striking even blows Monochrome mind Is my only control Nothing can make me whole Never dreamed so real Never felt the way I feel Soft innards skin of steel Pounding hard I will reveal Static from the prison Saturates my porous head Distracted by the vision Of the chrome that's cracking under Stability I've never known Catwalk frail and sagging low Clutching at thin air Walking my frail wooden ledge My eyes burning, my head pounding Don't let me slip Walk out from dark into the gray Pain is relative in every way I bit the nail that broke my back Now it's chasing, help I'm falling Now it's broken my neck I can't believe I fell for that A blissful ignorance, a comforting Fact Now it's shoved me down, burrowed in my head Is the real me trapped or is he dead Alone Aligned Iwalk Abort Confort I scream Sharpening, deafening, shock Critical, no more Feeble now was my attempt For my image gone now to lament Kicked the chair from under me I've always wondered but now I see That all this can come to pass Kicking, choking, soul flies as I gasp Dross of life is gone from me Soon I won't know sin Nor blood Nor screams Alone Aligned I walk Critical No more Shut out Sharpening, deafening, shock Free me, take this, break me

Day of exit, forever stained The final choice to pass the pain Racing heartbeat, panicked breath To trade useless life for death Passage out, strength caves in Dismal flame flickers from the din Thread disconnecting, you shiver Away from the sick of it all Which way is up Which way is out Sinking, screaming The abyss opens down If you could deny If you could forgive If you could just let go Behind those sleepless eyes Blinding fatal light From yourself you fall The day would you deny The world could you forgive It's crime that led to yours Step further away

Investing into lies Preaching opinions to the masses The views of one Controlling the thoughts of others The power of lies Influence on weakened minds Retaining thoughts Lowering value of human minds Manipulated trust To oppress imressionable lives A movable mass To achieve what they want Fuelled by ignorance A symbol of the teacher The blind lamb A symbol of the masses Confinied, imprisoned, caged My thoughts restrained Distorted and contorted Selfish thoughts aborted Tom, wom, conformed The young newborn Incarcerated Raped of their minds Institution of ignorance Paralyzed intellect Building on the fear of others Susceptive mental state Naive personality Freezing of minds Judgement impaired, deadly Subjects lacking faith Those in power lacking knowledge

Hammering pulse pumps blood of fear Gut centered dread Now builds inside of me Conceal the crime, is it worn on my Face To cross the border free Cornered and trapped, secret Revealed Cold press of chains Wrapped around my wrist Mind sinking, flooded with fear Captive alone to an unknown future Why? My action I wish I could deny Tension to flood awaiting trial Feel the panicked regret Drowning my mind Deny my fate, oppression Strengthened Manipulate and overcome, Await no longer Status down, section 13 Commanding sacrifice Frreak parade, well past insanity Life of the old machine Bury pain, shoving, nonexistent Will to surpass is reigning power Constant watch, guarded and caged Living day to day Broken feet, broken will The beatings numb my frozen mind Example set, freedom denied Plotting escape of these four walls Prison life, kept below Reaching the end I snap and Overthrow Fifty three days turned into forever Endless solitude Status revoked, from a man to a slave The dawn of my decay Deterrent, in human form I rot for all to see in misery Controlled by a force still unknown For a gram of the black I'm imprisoned a lifetime Attempting escape All hope set to Rise Snatched from my mind In one swift motion Scapegoat conceived, precedent set Feelings of safety fade Submit and die, against my will Discipline, lock down, Endure this punishment Backstabbing pigs, pushing me further Rip the tongue from my mouth Beat and tear the animal is born Will to live Strength will give Now I'm free They can't hold me

Illusion imprinted at birth Mind lock, feed the lie to the worm Pre-sever growth Polarize terror Victim controlled out of fear Weaken the dormant mind How is your lie disguised Behind what God does it hide The lie do you hear Illusion infesting with growth Questioning mind frozen cold Obedience grows Victim controlled Licensed bigot masses sold Ranting of the hypnotized Smother you free thinking mind Question repressed one more time Choke on the lie Black and white fade to gray How was I blinded and caged Illusion to shatter and fade Escape from the fools Still one with the lie Exit your thought-draining paradise Awaken from coma of vision divine Cold in free thought But alive for first time The lie is no more Dull sunken eyes of cattle Left behind still stare Spew of words you call your Gods Polute the public air And from the other side The lie seems pale and thin The victims seek more prey Next to convert Next to believe To pass the faith Spread the disease In ignorance They battle to deceive

On stolen land you stand And rant of good and bad Force feed your puritan lie Convert those still alive Who fled you genocide And watch their bloodline Drain and die Pure and simple greed Controls my destiny Darkness is my light Reeling now I fall Reigning down on all Consuming all in sight The lies to the young we feed Disguised as protective need But over time it seeps Into their conscience it bleeds Vicious cycle unfolds Faith set in stone God's creation fades Lost the innocent age Broken the human image Formed illusion is destroyed Expanding time has spread Exploding scale of conquered theft Bloodstained our history Ship stolen humans to slavery Hallowed point ever growing Expand and swell With the progress of our minds Illusion of the cage Repress instinctive rage To mask, to shield, disguise Face of false compassion Veil of gut instinct To fear the violence held inside

...And in my dreams you cross the line Lopsided grin, the glint in eye And speak to me in words defied By journey to your void And see you with my dreaming mind A thinker, maddened, scheming eyes, And from four strings the notes will fly That I hear no more And I cannot loosen my grip The final word to see you slip To fall again my mind resists To escape your truth And will I see the day I die You beckon me over the line And learn the reason you denied to be And as I wake your image flies Retreats to corner of my eye To breathe my name then twitch and die Do you hear my tortured scream I walk alone.
