Destrutopia

I won’t give in to your compelled ideologies.
Your corrupt path to World War III.
Your utopian dreams that have always historically turned into war.
Free speech is the single most important value that our world is predicated on.
You can’t take that away from me.
You can’t control my thoughts no matter how hard you try.
You can’t demand my respect.
You are in no place to tell me what to do.
Figure yourself out and come talk to me when you’re ready to listen.
Not going to demean myself just to look humble.
Not going to tell a joke just to force a laugh.
Not going to change the way I act to please a crowd.
False claims full of straw man lies.
Such a narrow view of life.
Not going to give respect to those who don’t deserve it.
Not going to acknowledge for the sake of being nice.
Not going to care about who people think I should.
I will make the judgments.
I will make the call.
Ideological extremism.
Algorithmic influence.
Systematic control.
Psychological manipulation.
Narcissism.
Bigotry.
Fear.
Resentment.
Ignorance.
Obscurantism.
A rebirth of collectivism.
A path to World War III.

Everybody Loses
00:41
|
|||
|
Knowledge is a weapon.
We attack each other.
Everybody loses one way or another.
Passive aggressive disrespect.
Back and forth - the tension builds.
It builds, it builds, it builds, it builds, it builds, it builds, it builds, it builds.
Who's got a larger intellect?
Sharing is a foreign concept.
The tension builds, the tension builds, the tension builds, the tension builds.
No listening or learning.
No mutual respect.
Everybody loses.
Worthless measurement.
Why do we begin?
These conversations go nowhere.
Why do we begin?
Everybody loses.

Scapegoat
00:40
|
|||
|
Exaggerated to the extreme.
You don't want to me here.
I'm the scapegoat.
Try to push me past my limits.
Twist my words.
Feed my anger.
Pull it out of me.
Make me look like a fool.
Keep it at the surface.
Ignore the roots.
Plant your seed.
Infect me.
Make me the catalyst.
Make me an example.
Use me.
Test me.
Bring me to my knees.

Bursts of Anxiety
01:14
|
|||
|
Burst of anxiety.
Worrying about what I can't see.
Comtemplating what's wrong with me in these bursts of anxiety.
Contemplation goes insane.
Overthinking everything.
Every possibility by way of negativity.
Contemplating what’s wrong with me.
Bursts of anxiety.

Frayed Wire
00:57
|
|||
|
I need answers.
Can't stand to wait.
Anxiety takes over to produce a bitter taste in my mouth.
I need answers.
Not going to wait on you.
I do not have time for this so just give me the truth.
Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting.
I need the truth.
Give me the fucking truth.
No closure.
Loose ends.
Frayed wire.
Disturbances that don't get solved.
Just repressed.

Disposable
00:54
|
|||
|
Prove to me that you're not disposable.
Tell me that you won't come in then fade away.
I have done my part.
Or at least I’ve tried.
What is wrong with you?
Or what is wrong with me?
Insincere empathy.
Leaching off resources.
You don’t give a shit.
Whatever it is, I probably guessed it right.
Show me that you won’t just fade away.
Show me that you’re not disposable.

Decipherment

The unconscious – it has power over me even when I think I'm in control.
My dreams – why do they seem so real?
I cannot control what appears in my head.
I can only cope and try my best to understand.
Maybe Freud was right.
I'm ruled by my unconscious state.
Hidden pieces of the puzzle brought to light.
From pleasures to desires to unchecked urges to wish fulfillment.
Frights, scares, horrific thoughts.
I don’t know how to make them stop.
I can’t make them stop.
The unconscious – it has power over me even when I think I'm in control.
A twisted reality.
An alternative dimension.
A demented diety.
An uncontrollable mindstate that tears away at my soul.
