The Deep End

I tell myself
The pain is chemical it's not real
But still I feel
Like I'm alone inside a dream
I can't wake up to scream
That I'm not asleep
Are we just machines
Are we just cruel beasts
We put ourselves through war and peace
The knife in front don't cut as deep
The villain dies
The hero weeps

All these years of
Internet strangers
Debating dangers
How much you got done up in those echo chambers
How much just anger?
How many shootings stopped
How many brand new angels
You seen that person die today?
Well here's a different angle
And we're the biggest cause of all our biggest problems
Cause we got flaws that we don't acknowledge
So then we bottle 'em, they get forgotten
And then one day we just explode
Our egoes hold us hostage
Self-aware but it's still there regardless
And so I wonder what's still missing
What's a view without the vision
What if God has no religion?
Human beings all the same but still there's levels to existence
Nothing ever changes somehow everything is different

The blind praise
A one-eyed king
Not me
The crown lays at my feet
In pieces
You keep reaping what you sow
So to speak
Oh wait, no way, overthrew the rulers
Cold day, both ways, and she with medusa
Slide up, eyes shut, I can see the future
Everyone in this movie, in this movie
Oh wait, no way, overthrew the rulers
Cold day, both ways, and she with medusa
Slide up, eyes shut, I can see the future
Everyone in this movie
Dies
