Ion of Ares 04:03
I see your heart It beats just like mine But we're conditioned to see differences in life We cling tight to an archaic design And propagate beliefs without a single shred of foresight It's easy enough just to believe that you're right Without ever even admitting you might Not have all the answers to the questions in life Just for once admit there's more to this than meets the eye Take all I have Give nothing back Burned To the ground I won't tell a soul I won't make a sound I see your heart (I see your heart) I see your heart It beats strong with the blood like the rest of us But your intentions are wrong You hold on to hate and let go of love (This) this is all we have Time brings us all to the inevitable end It's all we have (all we have) The wasted seconds in life That we can never get back Take all I have Give nothing back see your heart (I see your heart) I see your heart It beats strong with the blood like the rest of us But your intentions are wrong You hold on to hate and let go of love I can tell what you're thinking I see it in your empty eyes Its in the look on your face and the sound of your voice It's the thought that keeps you up at night

Look closely, what do you see A tiny glimpse of a vast eternity What you see, is only Just a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of everything You can't trust what you perceive You can't trust reality Nothing is real There are no answers to the questions you ask No inherent meaning in consciousness The only voices you hear through the veil Are the echoes of cries for help There are no answers in the ancient texts Visions distorted by a fractured lens Biased perception of existence Look closely what do you see A single thought that becomes infinity What you see, is only Just a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of everything I feel a shift in perception I feel a calm like ive never felt consuming me We are outdated a dying breed The final gasp of a system that's failing An ever changing perspective I'd forfeit all ive been given to truly see I'm not your fucking slave We are outdated a dying breed The final gasp of a system that's failing

I've seen where this goes And I know it's coming to an end I've seen this all before And I see it even if you cant This system was designed for failure Flawed from the start, the foundation made of paper And still you think you can buy your integrity But that currency is weak, and in the end will stand for nothing A self important state of apathy A sickness stemming from cognitive thinking A turning point or a fork in the road I've been this way before, I know where this goes I've seen this all before And I see it even if you cant This system was designed for failure Flawed from the start, the foundation made of paper And still you think you can buy your integrity But that currency is weak, and in the end will stand for nothing We're all lost But are we so far gone We'll never find our way back (from here) A turning point is reached the cycle repeats The mind succumbs to its fight with disease (And it repeats)

Each day moves seamlessly into the next But still progression stagnates Each breath exhales to begin the next We think we’ll live forever The unending cycle has us trapped And we don’t even realize it Or maybe we do but we’re just expected to feign indifference I won’t be trapped in the is cyclical state of consciousness Electrical impulses firing uplifting me Into a new level of thinking Break free! The unending cycle has us trapped And we don’t even realize it Or maybe we do but we’re just expected to feign indifference Our perspectives of our lives are so misguided We expect so much without ever giving in return I won’t be trapped in the is cyclical state of consciousness i have set myself free and broken the cycle that seemed unending In a sea of mindless digital vessels Carrying out their preprogrammed existence I hold on to the ultimate gift of consciousness The ability to think for myself The freedom to make my own decisions Learn from and adapt to the consequences I will never be what you perceive me as being Because my identity is my own to define I won’t be trapped in the is cyclical state of consciousness i have set myself free and broken the cycle that seemed unending Each day moves seamlessly into the next But I’m finally making progress
