Yclept 'mania' (feat. Homeless Studio)

I should have listened at the time when I was told to close my eyes
I seen it
I saw coincidence align into our elegant design
When we look up it's to a void of stars, and dust, and planetoids
Galaxies stretch farther than our ken, from now until all time begins
We see their photons in the night
Neutrinos move through the Earth, and you, and I
A breadth so massive to conceive
That's what the facts don't really need
These mechanisms will proceed despite what tales we all believe
Misinformation we've received goes back a stretch of centuries

I flip the script then I adjust the fader
I hit the stick, and then I puff up the vapor
While they bask in the bliss they exist each day
Immersed in the periaqueductal gray
There's a long time gone since the days of way back
Why the fuck someone always trying to say, "They say that..."
Two millenia away and fucking half the globe
Nature of existence, mysteries unknown

I wish I would have closed my eyes
I wish I could have trusted lies
It would've been easier if I had just agreed and got in line
I should have never chased the truth
I could have not lost all of you
I could have stayed the way I was
No other reason, just because

There was a time which I was once asked if I felt it, like a buzz
I said "yes"
What I was told it was, I recognized it as the lie it was
I watched them all ingest the 'flesh'
Minds corrupted, nothing left
Filled with fables and routines
From far off lands they've never seen

Pay the cost but they'll never obtain
The grace which sold 'em on it
Lost, with a feigned destiny
Enduring straining darkness
Blocked, so it's not on the screen
This shit still goes on
There's nothing else to call this but 'mania'
Pay the cost but they'll never attain
The grace which sold 'em on it
Lost, with a feigned destiny
Enduring straining darkness
Blocked, so it's not on the screen
This shit still goes on
There's nothing else you can call it but 'mania'

I wish I would have closed my eyes
I wish I could have trusted lies
It would've been easier if I had just agreed and got in line
I should have never chased the truth
I could have not lost all of you
I could have stayed the way I was
No other reason, just because

These truths I've learned I've told you each
You told me please tone down my speech
I spoke finality of death
Live life right now, there's nothing left
You said we're glad you went away
Your band's great, we're glad you made the grade
But keep that shit you learned inside
Long ago we done made up our minds

You say I'm lost, but I'm never afraid
That's what you really wanted
Watch while I become Cid Gage
Endure this straining darkness
Walk like I walk, and I talk in verses
What I'm on, it would seem, means a fog and no dreams
