Meditate

Whoops
A grave mistake but I can't take it back
Now I'm entranced by this unconvincing act
These damn accounts must been hacked
Or else the code must been cracked
The net's broken though the modem's intact
My synapses can't withstand this assault
On reason
See my whole life I've been taught
Malfeasance
That it was sordid now these people are getting rewarded
Getting these seats made to order
In the Supreme Court and it's sorta a joke
I mean they clearly make it up as they go
And then they claim the shit is so constitutional
Like you are trying to be the peacekeepers
Except we see you with them bee stingers
See your true stripes and know you are devious
So how the hell am I supposed to remain sane?
When it don't feel like we're playing the same game?
I find it tougher to maintain
My sense of faith in institutions
When kids are killed in shootings like bang, bang
And all this plays in my head
Incessantly
It gets to me every night
I cannot sleep and so I restlessly
Toss and turn, haunted as these thoughts return
The doc's concerned
He tells me listen Nick
You've really got to learn to

Don't let the stress and hate penetrate
Suppress your angst and simply
Catch your brain's gentle waves
You can relax it is a better way
And they say this method is great, flawless
No one's ever been led astray

Flawless, oh is that what you call it? Huh?
This the distraction as you're snatching me wallet?
Been sold a false bill of goods
This practice it don't feel as it should
It's as if they've doused gasoline on a house
Built of wood
Then lit a match and dropped it
Oh look at that let's watch it
See how he handles all this
Catastrophic and chaotic
Madness that's unfolding
As bad guys profit and backwards progress
Is the only thing I keep seeing
You want me catatonic?
Sitting, thinking, staring straight at the wall?
As it all falls around me and I stay uninvolved? Nah
There's a time for introspection
But this aint it, it's time for disinfection
I bet you can guess where this is heading
If you paid even a bit of attention to history lessons
The way the pattern fits is depressing
But I won't let the stress and anxiety
Wreck me entirely
See this technique's predicated on silence
I won't go quietly and
