Testi

Thinking in the past of all the things which wouldn't last
Dispel the stress of compromise
Unsaid names were no surprise
As the path laid out ahead
And conversating words were said
I know the will was mine
A future dreamt within my mind
The purpose has meaning but the meaning is we're bleeding
Moving the checkers on the board
Chasing our selfish benefit in the hallowed halls of Everest
King us on the checkerboard
Scattering checkers on the
Scattering checkers on the floor
Can we define what's right
Fighting ourselves with all our might
Thoughts and strategies are turns
To reject upon the urge
Can't deflect impending shame
By passing on your share of blame
Weapons rust in the rain
The same mistakes will strike again
The purpose has meaning but the meaning is we're bleeding
Moving the checkers on the board
Chasing our selfish benefit in the hallowed halls of Everest
King us on the checkerboard
Scattering checkers on the
Scattering checkers on the floorI am sitting in a crowd
Unresponsive to the voices that I hear
Shouting out (shouting out)
Can't catch my ear
I am thinking with furrowed brow
Wondering why we foster nurture
All our fears
Enemies
Oh so near
Always knowing the answer
Always knowing what is best
Disrupting the balance of nature
Neglecting our cause and effect
I am waiting patiently
Ignoring forces hoping to take hold of me
When will this distance set me free?
I am sorry once again
Disruptions claim my inner thoughts
I do not speak
Uncommon sense
It's just out of reach
Social structure with order
Socially separate we discover
Traits of distinction denied
Mistaking our heritage for pride
Disruptions fuel the motion
Conflict feeds our institutions
Right and wrong defy description
Freedom without restitution
Is our life based on illusion?
Left is right but right is wrong
Piers dictating who belongs
Thrilled to the kill as we kill what we fear
What we don't understand
What is it there?
The purpose has meaning but the meaning is we're bleeding
Moving the checkers on the board
Chasing our selfish benefit in the hallowed halls of avarice
Chaos on the checkerboard
We don't know we're losing
Euphoric we're choosing
Falling off the checkerboard
