Conflict negates ownership
So who won’t you sacrifice?
Like father like son, a double life
Too weak to withstand the hits
Chapped fists balled at the end of your wrists
Holding on for dear life
Lest someone stumble indecently
And dance at the end of your wits
Who won’t you sacrifice?
Who knows enough pain as it currently is?
Wield your retractable knife
And fantasize about breaking the skin
Banish the inconvenience
Purchasing power exists
But only when you drink to forget
Conflict negates ownership
Punish who makes you welcome
Transactions are everything
You can’t stay here but you can’t go home
Conflict reveals your beliefs
Love has the steepest sticker price
So steal what you seek
Peace has a Premium Pass
So be who you need
Anger is a heinous cop out
Deny if you please
Bloodlust is a service
Blessed be industry
Why fear honesty when ego death is free?
Why fear what’s unseen when you can just die for free?
If I’m not welcome, don’t say I am
Master without a backup plan
Disappointing each other is the human condition
A simulacrum of prophetic vision
Disappointing myself is my default position
A mirror image reflecting attrition
I cannot approach the people I love
I only know how I can end it all
Break me apart as a resident
Who’s to say that I’ve lived without evidence?
Maybe we need to destroy what we perceive as enemies if that means
We can breathe the same air, you and me
Against a rotting tree deceiving we can never truly supersede
So who can we sacrifice?
Who pit us against who we cannot protect?
Make this a pact for all life:
We control the world if we course correct
