Watchmaker

Physics
Calculus
Uranium
And Plutonium

Every resource we can find
To make a better tomorrow

From passenger planes to fighter jets
Nuclear power to atomic bombs
From standard jeeps to giant tanks
To North Korea and Vietnam

From music players to sonic booms
Electricity to radiation
From medicines to poisons
To the opposite of creation

Inventions that cross between 
Commodity and sheer destruction

Forest fires, napalm gas, and inhuman chemistry 
Our arsenal of megadeath unleashed above the skies
Sacrifice of conscience to obtain more weaponry
Caught between the vultures of politics and lies

The space race
The arms race
The race to end mankind

If only I had known
I would have become a watchmaker

Guilty Gear

It's like death but sweeter
It's freezing by the heater
It's narcissism, fanaticism,
And folly on a cake

It's like steel but tougher
I've got acid but no buffer
It's cynicism, pessimism,
And idiocy in a shake

It's like mucus but putrid
It's milk and booze diluted
It's nihilism, optimism,
And ignorance in a pie

It's like sugar but sour
It's drowning in the shower
It's like having happiness and sorrow
Impaled into your eyes

Enigma

Even fantasy puzzles me
None can find the twisted key
I am something less than real
Gone one second, then concealed
Many people choose to doubt
And none can reckon to figure me out

Swim

Grave

River

Bodies sleep

Reaching upward

To catch a taxi on a floating creek

Electric Sheep

Verse and drama
Panorama
Screen built right into my head

Mood organ
White gorgon
Medicate me back to bed

Attached by my eternity
Dead rebirth in deity
Spontaneous alacrity
Advanced hyper reality

Android fixtures to the south
The sandmen drag me to my sleep
Dreams that come and never go
As I count electric sheep

Master Cypher

I am a master of a nothing place
I had no other dreams to chase
But I was the child of disgrace
Because I once mastered a nothing place

Audio Cyanide

Cerebral response
Spark sent through the brain
Chemical mixture
Of hormones and drugs

Define me
Remind me
Find my first reactions

Sober intoxication
Audio respiration
Inhaling sulfur gas
Exhaling cyanide

Inhibition by emotion
Softly stuttering shyly
Chiseled to the center
Of my base security

Fill me
Thrill me
Spill me on the wall
And paint me in the bricks

You serve as my distraction
Cut me into little pieces
Collage my inner thoughts
Hidden deep in this attraction

Shining Force

As the dreamers overtake me
As the sunshine still forsakes me
As the rain above awakes me
To another windy night

As the dark hollows enslave me
As the tired thoughts invade me
As the swinging watch persuades me
I am losing every fight

As the ticking clock absolves me
As the falling sky dissolves me
As the twisting moon revolves me
My body of sores and knots 

As the raining swords impale me
As my eyes begin to fail me
As the shining worlds avail me
The light begins to rot
