LIKE HYENAS LAUGH

Stepping in sight of the orange hollow light
Careless of hogs while watching the night
My future's in my pocket, a trigger to my head
Watch my, my eyes turn red
Silencing freedom so fruitfully thriving
The obstacles, obstacles
Where have we put them?
Try as we might to avoid them we make them
Processing filtered and packaged forever
We might all end up dead

Is freedom a true thing or just a beast so utterly tame?
Sought after and fought over to drive us all insane
What's freedom to a rat who's spent his life within a cage?
It's one step ahead now an ongoing race
So what will we place
When it's harder to breathe than run?

How many ways are there to escape?
I'm out every night
Finding new ways of boggling my brain
To escape all that is
Now what's that again?
Our goals in life change with each generation
What have we come to?
We have not the coping tools, to cope with real life
Dozens around me collapse with their weight
They're only my age, is there nowhere that's safe?

Dozens around me collapse with their weight
They're only my age, is there nowhere that's safe?
Dozens around me collapse with their weight
Dozens around me collapse

As soon as I've liberated my mind
Of the time, the place, the present date
I'm ripped away, another day
So what are you afraid of baby
I'd sell you a piece of my soul
I can see it in your eyes
You want it tonight
So what are you afraid of of baby
You know I won't bite

And it's my goal to be the flow
between your legs and within your soul
To open your head and flood it
with wandering chemicals
And leave it drained within your brain
to show you life beyond living
Introduce what you've been missing
and never let you go

No it's not love that you bleed
I'll never let you see me tender
I'm just an Oscar winning actor
who's blessed with immense imaginations
You're just the same as me
You disgusting shallow human
You're just the same

I don't care you don't have feelings
I don't care you have no love no
I don't care if it makes you feel any better
We're both equally sad and hollow
I don't care if you nuzzle next to me
I don't care if you whisper sweetly
I don't care you have no soul so
I won't water down my own with yours

We sit in the dark
Find each other for comfort
And fight off the frost of the outside
Sounds of heroes not of deceit
True blood runs freely

Not to be forgotten
Never to be remembered
Always to be known

It uses heroes for it's bidding
For the better of humanity
For we shall surely die of depravity
If not for the true fire that burns within

Let it come
Relax and paralyze
We've felt before
Yet never realized

Not to be forgotten
Never to be remembered
Always to be known

We, our minds, are all that is in god in soul and heart
No one's above our heads, no suffering on depart
What will is there to live then? is our biggest question
We'll find it someday somewhere
I hope it's not made of stuff to teach
We might actually have to think
For ourselves? No way!
I didn't know that was a possibility

I hate to think all for myself

It's alright to be perplexed and differ from your own view
To be discouraged and all alone and not told what to do
For the time and place to answer all unanswered
And sane us as a race
It was good and necessary
But now seems obsolete

And then it took us all, swept like hail to fall

At least I'm jealous
Of those who have achieved what I've not
So tell me should I rot
We may be fragile but don't you take care because
Life is too short to be careful

Too many distractions, too many contracting my mind
Here and then across the hall
Slobber and gnaw the crows that caw
They claw and tug

Too many dear ones who want and suck
Claw and tug, slobber and gnaw
Because I have something they want
So then should I rot?
I know a few who think so
But who's died before, now raise your hand

Rip me open see what's inside
I give my body my blood and my time
Forgetting to pay for what's mine
But I don't really mind
I'd rather fall in love with the world
To share myself with all and not only one
To start where I've begun

A part of me for all of you
Will you break or bear?
Now what are you going to do
We may be fragile but don't you take care because
Life is too short to be careful

I see the daisy poking through the split streets
And I look to average kids just like me
We're meant to grow living in the meadows
Now where's the soil under feet?

I won't sacrifice curiosity
I'll play the game but then I'll turn around and cheat
I'll keep my mind and I won't comply
I won't follow blindly I'm no complacent sheep

I'm searching near and far and this breathing's getting harder
Looking for an answer that doesn't exist
And I cannot give up now I've gone way too far
My ambitions are shattered
My ambitions are so shattered

I just followed the rail tracks
Never thought to ask or write a new map
A wingless bat, my ambitions are so shattered
A glass urn, everything burns down to ashes,
Despite the clashes in the air
I look on in a pale dead stare
And I walk along standing on a double-bladed knife
And this can't be the end of my life
And my ambitions are so shattered

And I'm lost at sea
With not a care I leave
A tear rolls down my cheek
A meek protest halts a procession
An election of awful dictators

Rise up from the balls of your feet
Scream and shout till your throat bleeds

I know not where it goes
But my journey will be slow I know
Time is mine at my command
And I won't scream like a petrified piglet

And even if no one reads this I know I'm not alone
I have some moon the freezing night
And a kitten here keeps me company

Shivering under street lamps
Cross-legged on the pavement
No one sees but me but a kitten keeps me company
That same feline visits the same time
Once per every other night
Same place, same time I see her
She tells me it's all right
(When you're all right)

And when that kitten dies she does not seem to fret
And wonder if her fate's in purgatory just like the rest
So I won't fret because just like her
I have nowhere to go
Except where I may roam but I can wait
So I won't worry

For the tallest trees retain so much more beauty
If left untouched, untamed, by meddlesome society
I wish there were more places to sit and think about my thoughts
Where I could hear the ocean laughing distantly

Let me clear up questions
So many have yet to answer
We're all alone inside this world
With ourselves to keep us company
The alpha and omega, the infinite and all
Is all in every one of us
But no one seems to know it but me
No one seems to know it but me

But now I'm going inside
Because it's late and I'm cold

Until the next time you come
And hopefully you'll bring bigger guns
Until the next time you come
And hopefully you'll see
Feeling is stronger than your motivation
That drives most of us to insanity

And a master of skill may be equal to none
But may never find his true flame
He tries to recreate
What was once so true
That broke all the rules
Yet now are the new boundaries
For the next hero to break

It exists in everyone
Yet it unleashes itself to those who wait
Who don't try to unlock it
For the lock will not be there
When you need it most
When humanity screams
A silent scream
For a new hero to struggle with the frost of death
In an unknown dream
And then they slowly all become silent
As they find their god

And then they all become silent
As they find their new true god
And then they all become silent
They'll run and shy away
Refuse the search for the flame
But don't you shy away
Find your true god

Peaceful prostitution in an inbred seam bed
rogues of what we don't know
Spitting off that simple mind flow in and out, in and out
Now rock that shisst like a new found fan based plague
and when we don't know why we mind blow
Getting off now on the slow toke while we're young and stupid
But it's all right because that's expected

Are you so content, living in an endless joke?

I will make my mark
The earth will rumble under my feet
The masses will hear my shouts
Roars of thunder and they will never doubt again
Like the overflowing river
Rushing through brick and stone
Crushing bone
I hear no pain
No agony
Why do you accuse me?
I am still the same crazed man
That woke up one morning
And decided not to fill my head
With useless notes of pre-composed song
that exhausted me until I'm dead

Lying on cement wondering
Why I didn't take the leaf-ridden path?
I would only laugh had my breath
Not escaped immediate grasp

And suddenly I see myself not alone
But backed by a group of believers that
Only grows as the sun darkens
And closes it's curtains as I pick myself up
Shakily almost losing grip
But I will not slip
No, not this night
Not tomorrow's day
Seas will part, storms will come
Announce my arrival
And I will never be fully done
Until I've made my masterpiece
Etched out in stone

No they never will admit they're wrong

So who can walk above the streets
And turn no single heads
Who loves himself enough to know
He might be only one or even dead

And I hate a pretty person
Who's all that they can be
Who does not know they're only pretty
When everyone else agrees

So who can walk above the streets
And turn no single heads
Who loves himself enough to know
He might be only one or even dead
And if he walks on hands for miles into the sky
He lives not off their love
But shares with them his own full heart with pride

As long as I have breath to breathe
I won't stop screaming till my throat bleeds
