Dovetails

You may find yourself beginning to question
This normal state of being and this odd obsession
It seems that there is only a single way of living
All others withheld from you to keep you from dreaming
But don't ignore your instincts however quiet they may be
Straying from the crowd will set you free
And as these thoughts begin to grow
And you dissect this great scheme
It looks as if these chains will give way
And give birth to a whole new regime
Find your own way
Feel the truth play
The games in your mind
Shadow what you may find
Break free from the chains
We do not have a chosen path, we are not all the same
You don't need to impress them by playing in their game

Cold Eyes
04:49
|

|
Shadows cast across the wall
A subtle glimpse of it all
This is what we're here for
Cold eyes see nothing but disguise; they materialize a fury of lies
Patterns that are hidden in the ivy
Only an attentive eye can see
A beauty many fail to recognize;
This is what we're here for
This beauty means noting without a grateful observer
And while most have equipped blinders their cold eyes fall to the earth's disguise
A mural hidden by a film of dust
To reveal only need be brushed
What once was for gotten is clear now
This is what we're here for
Cold eyes see nothing but disguise; they materialize a fury of lies

Blind Ambition
06:35
|

Onwards we travel with our dogmas at our side
The convictions we have rendered fit are the source of our pride
We have long awaited this day, a chance to spread our way of life
A pity you do not see as we do, a single way to resolve this strife
Your blind ambition is honourable but arrogant
Half-assed renditions are surely not what you meant
Onwards we travel eliminating those who resist
We will teach the willing our culture, all others will be dismissed
Do not question our ways, for we posses a higher knowledge
Omnipotence is on our side, now hear our pledge
Your blind ambition is honourable but arrogant
Half-assed renditions are surely not what you meant
Closed-minded ideals leave you right where you started
Expanding horizons means you remain open-hearted
As the dust begins to settle, revealing what's just transpired
The look on your face turns cold as you realize this was not desired
The initial intentions were righteous, the enthusiasm sincere
But the ends fail to justify the means when you conjure this pot of fear
Any means of force fails to promote a righteous path
Conflict leads to bloodshed, discovery leaves all intact
War shall remain a petty act, one I hope we will soon outgrow
For history remains unwritten if this life we do not bestow

Unity
04:54

Gazing over this established feat
Looking at what's been made
The people are so proud, They worship their cascade
Dozens of established entities all working together as a whole
Without each other they are nothing, together they accomplish their goal
Or so it seems
Each of them a segment of the unit
This unit they call a society
One piece left out it crumbles
Tell me how strong can this be?
As a whole they all are divided
Selfishness drives them to succeed
They'll step on you to get to the top
Abolishing their united creed
But you see, together we are stronger
As a united force we will prevail
Equality the key to our survival
Without it we will fail
The unity of the people will not be a small feat
Abolishing the pedestal that only tears us all apart

Slave of Strings
05:30
|

Overly frustrated by the reviews of my harshest critic
Just want to enjoy myself for just a minute
To be left alone by this pestering voice
And enjoy myself because I had the choice
Why do I seem to be never quite good enough
Why do I need to be a slave of my strings
There exists a force in every human being
That pushes them forwards without them seeing
We can all be a slave of many things
But most of all I'm a slave of my strings
I suppose I should thank my self
For pushing me forwards without me seeing
Never wanted anything more than to hear this guitar sing
I guess that's why I'm a slave of my strings
That's why I seem to be never quite good enough
That's why I need to be a slave of my strings

The Machine
06:53
|

|
A machine has been created with latencies unknown
Made with good intentions by a man who hopes to amend this broken world
Torn by the power it may bring he hesitates before revealing his work
For like everything that is good, implementing selfish gain needs only be wrought
Sensational Harmony
He envisions the future of life that is pure and free of agony
Peaceful coexistence found everywhere as a great fraternity
Can only be achieved with the usage of this powerful technology
But what if it fails?
Man is a corrupted kin
Twisting, distorting for profit
Just look at how their past has been
I still see good in them
they cannot all be this cruel
They must have great sympathy to use this tool
These doubts are paranoia
Have faith and they will succeed
They are civil enough to perform a good deed
Surely they are not ready to utilize what I possess
Few of them are willing to vanquish their distress

The Sobeit Union
08:40
|

|
Time to implement a new form of governing
One to strip power from the few of us at rule
A system to represent the population as a whole
Creating widespread equity; now is that what you thought we meant?
The workings of the Sobeit Union is aided by a state of confusion
The ones who appear to be in power are just controlled by puppet strings
The mystifying Sobeit Union operates from widespread delusion
Leaving us with a false conclusion
Now in this system that we have created we will let the people think they are in control
Electing officials with no real power
Fueling their own ignorance, that's more like what we meant
One day we will realize
their corruption has gone too far
One day we will realize
they were the ones who started this war
One day we will realize
that they should answer to the masses
One day we will realize
the irrelevance of our divided classes
Cast aside these dated ideals
Grab a hold of something more real
The blindfolds will soon be removed revealing a society improved
