Subdued and repressed, a son of the vortex in faceless progress   Coaxing, tugging, grinding so elevated, so God   Refit this vessel of confusion to bring the eloquence of the mute   Incorporate this forfeit cause, assimilate and fake it mine      I bow my head and taste the lies that I'm fed, all to claim my reward   Master and servant, one for all and all for none   Ignorant to the distant hymns of chaos, the progressive stand before me   Their eyes fixed in the distance, default to conform to the new      They animate me, in confidence I thrive   My reign, supremacy, I speak no word unheard   Re-motivate me, I'm all there is to be   An omnipotent being so complete in my diversity      Ripples race across my eyes, breaking out in acid sweat   Wills shrivel and crack, disintegration of my inner self   I find the substance lost, a shed shell of a being of disgust   Done is the cleansing, complete is the surgery of the soul      Step inside and taste the shackling thoughts that devour all confidence   Realizing I'm lost, being no more than a mutt with a fake pedigree   Stillborn soul shaped and molded, I can live an eternity in a minute's time   A borrowed talent filled with copied goals      The carcass of hope lies dead beneath the fabric of dreams   Facing the truth within the mirror of souls, ha ha, this is what I've become   Always been in this emancipated state, submerged, battered and numb   Just a mind scape fit for illusion to make fear into reign   And fulfillment of pain, kneeling in perm, the minions of the inside claim me      Re-animate me 'cause I was once alive   Defeat smears out my focus, consciousness subsides   Unmotivated, beheld by scorching eyes   Infinity stares back at me, the surging darkness coils to strike
