Without This

Inspired by "Synth moments" 
instrumental.
Green tape instrumentals 
record by Evidence of Dilated 
Peoples.

Without this! All is... completely 
senseless,
Competing myself in search for 
enhancement,
Without this! Light dims behind 
the eclipse,
Without this! I don't even know 
what else there is.

I am! Defined by my own set of 
values 
Still keep denying the option of 
failure
Withstand! Against the odds I 
progress
When plot plans don't choose to 
settle for less 

When a poet writes all around 
is illuminated
Would've never traded that 
away nothing is greater
Gift granted to develop one 
masters in time
Swift to fall these stars ain't the 
ones to shine 

Word is the strongest as he 
goes with it
Moments like that are greatest 
achievement 
Vocab's not depleted "au 
contraire"
Never did stop! Never will! 
solemnly swear!

Kickstart frozen heart, blood is 
pumping
For the love of this music it's all 
or nothing
If a spark dies down that's 
something to miss
Without this I don't even know 
what else there is

Without this! All is... completely 
senseless,
Competing myself in search for 
enhancement,
Without this! Light dims behind 
the eclipse,
Without this! I don't even know 
what else there is.

I stand! Through the hardship, 
without complaining
Steadfast with my feet rooted 
into the pavement
Barricaded, secure the 
perimeter bravely
Hold ground till the very  last 
threat is eliminated

Chose to go against the force, 
stay on course
Geared up & when it's time to 
settle the score
Ready for war, if it comes down 
to blood shed
One shot neutralizing the 
enemy threat

Simple as that - it is, when it all 
comes naturally
Sleepless nights to get this far 
gradually
When in silence your heart is 
the drum 
And inside you shine bright like 
the ray of the Sun

Thoughts collide, you try to 
pick the right words
Feel alive! The muse giving you 
the burst!
When it's gone... hands on the 
clock freeze
Without this I don't even know 
what else there is

Without this! All is... completely 
senseless,
Competing myself in search for 
enhancement,
Without this! Light dims behind 
the eclipse,
Without this! I don't even know 
what else there is.
