lyrics

Many thousands of minutes ago,
I refused to let it lie
Many thousands of minutes went by,
But still I couldn’t go
I didn’t know
Yet,
What I do now,
I didn’t see it
The long way down,
Towards the slope upward
Opening up the bridge that divides
Us all
Into separate sections, separate actions
To and from we are told we can with ease
Travel to meet
On humble bended knee
Representatives of the others
With whom we are to find our newer selves
But why bother,
When the orders clearly state
Move up and break
Those shackles we have placed
Upon thee
Or else be
Condemned to poverty
Mediocrity
Nobody
Loves an ancient one, outdated one
Sitting on his son’s knee
Asking where the world went
While sonny boy with ears bent
Listens to your cries
Whimpers to himself
This is something just less than hell
Something else
Entirely
Not quite as unforeseen
But nagging to you
Whispering in your coma
Come with me
Or else, the mantra states
Don’t bother with your miserable life
We don’t
So let it be known across these lands
Unless one stands
To put us down
Then all around us
Let the millions lie
In lullabying sounds
And quiver your ecstatic sigh
Reign on nothing, glory on high
A crusty kind of misery
For thee
Unless you stand up to me
It’s the trillion dollar question
No aces up no sleeves
Just a solemn sounding bet
A standing threat
That you will never deliver revenge
That you will never exact it
Never take back what you yourselves produced
And if you do, we’ll have your clotted head
Miserable little coma, quiet staggering little soldier
Of life’s misplaced promises
Dishonest of you to think I should keep them
Empty pillows and vapor drenched minds laid on em
Don’t be so solemn, poor thing
You’re nothing
None of you
Lay on your backs and sing
To yourselves
There will never be anything else
But this, my all, was before I saw
What I see
The great nothing majority,
Calling all to become
Everything
Nothing no more, with the score even now
No more bleeding
Our voices out
Our choices are so devout
To the free development of human beings
Everywhere
Killing off this dying nightmare
Shot dead in the eyes
Because we always fall right before we rise
