The world we know isn’t what it seems We’re surrounded by infidelities Overrun by parasites preying on the weak We are at the bottom of the food chain Let’s face the facts we are being robbed blind but we just stand idly by and let it happen Deception is all around us but we fail to see through their cloak and dagger stories Let me tell you a secret we’re not free And at the rate we are going. Never will be I know it’s hard to hear. Open up those ears Take a closer look around you Your entire existence is a lie when you think about it You don’t really have a say in how you live your life Everything you know is dictated for you From the clothes on your back to the roof above you Let me tell you a secret we’re not free At the rate we’re going never will be I know it’s hard to hear. Open up those ears Take a closer look around you Depravity, degeneration happens every day What they expose is just a meer portion The real villainy and criminality dwell not in cells They run our countries. Wake up humanity Open your fucking minds Repudiation is long overdue don’t you think? Where is the beacon of morality in this sea of turpitude Their book of falsifications are the reason we’re all fucked United we can fight back United we will rise United we can fight back

Nyctophilia 05:21
I lie awake while the world slumbers Shaded by shadows. So calm and blissful. Awaiting the darkness. It makes me feel alive. I find solace shrouded in blackness. Hello my old friend. That place I can be at peace. Nyx offers to soothe my soul Extinguishing the fires that burn me. Sweet ecstasy. Endorphins high. She takes you in her arms whispering words to tame the beast inside. Godess of the night. Comfort me Great godess. Show me the way. To the light The earth is still and here I am happy and fulfilled. . It's what I crave. An insatiable urge that must be quenched. The silence is a sound that I adore. No more worries. No more fears. You're safe. Entangled intertwined embrace. Alone in the dark nyx frees me So blissfully. Nycto This parasitic construct needs reconstruction It's time to face the consequence of the actions you're involved in. Discard the wool from your eyes it makes you look sheepish With new found clarity see what we see Our minds are clear Uncorrupted by your lies That dark cloud of fear Precipitates into oblivion Their airtight albi is riddled with holes. Another chalk line that's starting to fade upon the concrete of humanity The circumvented cross roads have shattered, the moral fabric is tattered The patterned stitching is ripped at the seams. What happens when we refuse to participate? Humanity's great lie will cease To be.

Human beings are a curious species. Mascarading as superior beings. While living lives of servitude Like worker ants enslaved to their queen. Divided by invisible lines. Made real by fear. The thought of thoughts is just to much to bare. Easily lead to the river to drink Leading to your certain death Poisoning the minds and bodies of man The odds are stacked against us Betrayed. Force fed. Concealed. Mislead by your own eyes. We're bred to consume Following the trail leading back to the nest. Orders passed down to indoctrinate you. Slavery in plain sight. Left drowning in a pit of despair. They have you by the throat. What will you do? They never wanted us to look in the mirror. They never wanted us to see we are more than this. Si vis pacem parra bellum If you want peace be prepared for war.

Divergent 04:11
Take their words and spit them back in their face prove the voices wrong Disregard all those feelings that you don't belong. You've been beaten, broken, burnt down. Now from these ashes arise. Transcend from your torment. Disintegrate the shackles that bind Labled and ridiculed for daring to be different. Their bifurcated tongues so dismissive. Forced to question yourself. They deny you. You never needed their approval anyway. We are not the same You're the ones to blame! Unified! We are one. We are the square pegs in the round holes. We never fitted the mould We are not the same We are the divergent. Counter weighted. Complicated. Don't fear it. Just fucking own it . Shed your skin and reveal your true potential Embrace and accept you are worthy Make your choice, stand your ground Take your life back. We know who we are You can't take this from us, we walk our own path You will never understand us We are We are the divergent. You will hear our voice We won't be silenced You will hear my voice I won't be silenced Try silence me!
