Ball and Chain Pt 1

Eradicated, exquisite, hypocritical, and divine Given your own heart --- but not given your own mind Slaving through this lifetime to just rush to the next Disqualified, degraded, and generation-hexed Unintelligent, psycho, and deranged When you open your eyes --- your life has already changed The flashes of your past speed by under the midnight sky Stagnant, secluded, and your life on a constant "standby" Running from the thoughts that erupt out of your brain Until before you know it, you're dead and your body lies crumbled in vain The life you were meant to lead has definitely gotten away from you Rushing through your life --- set off without a clue Shocked and sinister your body's in pieces Your spirit dwindles off --- and your life simply ceases Born with a name, a face, and a voice Just someone else's solution --- isn't another's method of choice Always fighting, always frontin', always running from your life Tearing and shredding through your DNA --- life's composite knife We all just co-exist under the heightens of this moon Raging and bubbling and on the verge of starting a monsoon The emotions you display, will manifest itself as a storm After the destruction of the storms --- your life it's about to transform Gathering a team --- preparing for the worse Losing everything together --- nobody gets to reimburse Learning the stuff in school, they want your kids to learn To silence and quiet all of the bottled-up unconcern The greed of the people of this country within Forcing you to remember and relive the first, original sin I'll tell you what I want, if you tell me what you need For the negativity inside your veins has done nothing to you but mislead The mission you surround yourself --- the "so-called" box from within Like everything from the beginning was fake possessions --- fake heart & fake skin You're a barbie in a world, transformed by boxes of rocks Millions of stopped galaxies --- millions of broken clocks
