Dead Culture - Nowhere

What kind of culture are we,

when it’s the hungry feeding the starving,

the dying helping the dead,

the upset counseling the depressed?

This is world is coming to an end, I guess

I can lend a helping hand even if I’m missing fingers

But I’ve witnessed people bear arms before they reach out, figures

And when kind usually isn’t,

We learn to survive with the life that we’re given

And we usually give up before we give back

It’s the ethics that we lack

And the fact that we never listen

Even if we’re,

Talking our own conscience up on top of a steep building,

We don’t know what to tell our self esteem

So he leaps and it kills him, but

He can’t die on impact if he never made one

Or of a heart attack if he never showed love

And hopefully you have once because I know I have twice,

Just to fall on my own knife to fight the fear of blood

And twist it clockwise because hard times are realistic

And still no one listens, I’m asking why

But to me, nobodies telling

Why would this backwards both logic and spelling

It’s like casting spells and praying within the same sentence

I’m life-sentencing myself away from the senseless

But when I grab a tape of the compelling,

So I push myself to be alone

As the hope come and goes like the ever blowing ghost of acceptance

The wealthy hung by a fucking rope

I’m hanging by a thread

Go ahead and pull it,

See what unravels me next

My ride will survive while I’m trying to keep my breath

Because I already lost my faith

I’m ready to chase the red-faced demon, they say

What if God was one of us,

But what if the Devil was in the same body?

What if I told you that body was yours?

Would you embody the fact that your reliable source is unknown,

and scriptures have been whispered, misheard like a bad game of telephone?

Everybody likes to talk, but not everone wants to listen

Turns the viable into a firestarter,

And a work of fiction turns the world into a place of fear and conviction

Where everyones a convict that sticks to their strict version of jurisdiction

And I can see the gavel slam in the way that you look at me

As you dissect and decide if I’m street smart or just street

Got me feeling like a bum and I’m bummed out, certainly

Certain things are best left unsaid

Certain things are best left dying

Dying is the only thing certain as a whole

When brain grow nothing but mold,

and nothing but gray and matter,

and nothing matters but nothing is cold

Dead culture of us

Death

Cold
