Underneath (The Possession of Nostradamus)
like a suggestion to obsess
of a gap commercial experience
leaving me walking in circles
unable to stop telling lies
the fight or flight keeps me here
underneath this hypnosis
you work to keep pure
failed attempts to do the right thing
leaves you subconciously out of the loop
the worlds fool
fooling the world
awaiting to wake from my slumber
to wonder who i am
and for you to realise
this was in no way shape or form
my fault.
Hypnotic suggestion that seems to be keeping me alive
showcasing your innocence at first
terrorised by the fact you didn't understand
the fight or flight keeps me here
underneath this purely good intention
you try to poison to wake me up
the world deadlocked by this
failed attempts to do the right thing
the world fooled for a second chance
to induce me back to where i began
this seems to me to be in no way shape or form
a fault of yours
The stage of life revolving around a disorganised game
not many had any bad intentions
yet in this dilema of irony i am crucified
misunderstood good intentions i subconciously relate to
societies torture i feel i have endured
keeps me here deadlocked by an attempt to control fate
a stacked deck presented by ladyluck and a promise of destiny's first date
the world fooled by the hearts of angels of men alone
to place this devil upon my shoulder
a game to play of a return to innocence within my minds eye logic
ofacting out mankinds reflection
this has left me in a temporary surrender
knowing the fallen angel confused as to who he is
is a god in disguise completely misunderstood
at no fault of your own
