Lyrics

I've been many things so far in my life, but a chooser

Choices made for me tend to beget my abuser

In the form of a baked-eyed passive cruiser

Who avoids the eyes at all costs with his Zarathrustra

You spend enough time alone, a glance'll cauterise your soul

Turn your heart to stone, I feel it in my bones

Take the reigns or fall in the unknown

Poor as **** but still tryna sell the fallacy I own

If I see this light, I'll keep it for my own

Besides the space in my eye for the apple that I know

And I don't mean the brands that capitalise your dome

I could have a home with the money that I've blown

The food stops coming when your back goes

That means the blacksmith can't relax though

I milk my cow to keep the cheese but I'm lactose

Capitalism's on its knees, telling math jokes

While the anarchist pushes for change but can't adapt though

It's a human old game

To suffer and rebuff till the Übermensch reigns, read up

You're playing vanity's game

If you think the individual's too sacred to heed what our tapestry's saying

When information's free, and people can be seen

And everyone can be heard anonymously

Logic does decree that wisdom atrophies

And chaos takes the main stage, just no one intercedes

For men this could just be a reflection of his greed

A new type of tribal warfare for the egos that it feeds

We could let it be, but war would supersede

And that would be a seed of the hatred it would breed

Move out of apathy's way

They say that groupthink's bad

But I'm always reminded that I'm black though

The pattern extends through the micro and the macro

Falling through the craft of gravity's path seems very natural

As our star does backstrokes through space-time

We're seeing race wars rage live on Face-Time

And this could be positive, ugly or not

Magnified media, live, focused on a spot

If I'd seen this day, I'd keep it on my own

Besides the seat in my eye for the apple that I know

(Fair winds blow)

And I could mean the lies that advertise your phone

Quarantine your mind and occupy your dome

(Fair winds blow)

The seasons resume with no mind to pay

(Fair winds blow)

To the leaves it will outrun

(Fair winds blow)

For this reason, some visions are bound to frey

(Fair winds blow)

And get lost in the outcome

(Fair winds blow)

It could drive you crazy

(Fair winds blow)

It could drive you crazy

It could drive you crazy

(Fair winds blow)

It could drive you
