History 101

Separation of church and state

is a JOKE

and it's funny how people still believe in the vote

it's so pretty

this intricate system of struggle

the design as significant as the trouble

Separation of church and state

is a LIE

sewn together as the mask of the grandest design

we're the skin of the beast with no eyes

no one sees

how we've surrendered our lives

Separation of God and man

is the TRUTH

look around, there is no man on the roof

we're the gods that we wrote about for ages

the truth is

history isn't written on pages

Sleep

why I fight it
once it starts I know it will get stronger
and stronger
fuck it I'm just gonna sleep

Like Your Favorite Show

left alone with your thoughts
are you stressed and desperately lost
you seek the distraction
and fear what might happen
the news said you're all mad men
psycho's oppose the plan
get a job and be a man
it's weird how we know what's expected
without being told to behave
we behave
take the time to reflect what you behave like 

Hamlet

My second trip to the morgue this week

another friend lost to the dream of sleep

perchance we dream when we're awake

and the true sleep holds us in our later day

the world keeps growing, yet we stay the same

more and more people paid to slave away

inside you feel the need to save the day

instead you get high and try to stay awake

you feel the sleep coming and you fear the dream

you're a lit match falling into gasoline

explode into the boom, reborn in fantasy

to sleep perchance to dream

Above Suspicion

I treat drugs like a law firm and take the highest offer

I'm not a smoker, I'm a cougher

I hid my vape inside my sock drawer

the kind of hate I have to offer

is belated and uncalled for

because today I woke up blazed

and wrote the rawest type of art form

There's a way to live life that's pure and innocent

and the one thing that's sure

ain't no one living it

some people highlight their motives

no one cares how you voted

do you stand for what's right

or just fulfilling quotas

take the time to notice

this is something of importance

spend more time loving

and less building fortunes

Abstain from temptation

be humble and patient

live everyday like a declarative statement

because the pain and decay of our civilization

is on rampant display on every radio station

on every TV channel

they pump opinions in our face

until we lose our handle

on the situation

and the planet

let's not talk about the future

because we damned it

Barefoot

Strutting around

looking official

spit shined shoes

and nickel plated pistol

The sheriffs gun

this man's a father

bound to a code

he would swear was honor

Strutting around

like us he's just a worker

but the glimmer in his eye

says premeditated murder

The sheriffs gun

it was a Colt .38

standing on the corner

his name was Nate
