Black Empty 01:07
Imbalanced energy was gripping all of me I couldn't find a sense of hope or strength Zombie forth from day to day Where's the purpose? Where's the drive? Squandered on and on Then I do it again I've gone Black Empty I've felt, I've felt Like I've gone black empty inside Scream out the unknown world Into life and into the sun With all the hours I have wasted Wondering how it ever happened this way

Here's one third of your life Go to work and try to be nice At the end of your day It's a struggle to stay awake Hug your ugly kids Convince your wife that you care about shit If you have any friends Drink away where the meaning is Which way do we go? Work, Play, Love, School, Passion Which one do you choose? To drink, to smoke, to eat, to shoot Obliterate tomorrow How the hell do you know? Think about your will and drive When you're truly aware Full of life, full of presence Able to live your truth and be divinity How often are you there? Could you ever become A little closer to that ideal, Balanced version of yourself? Which way do we go? This, that, me, you, bullshit Which one do you choose? How the hell do you know? Drawn and Quartered Which one do you choose?

If you saw what others could feel You wouldn't be so quick to treat 'em like shit You might appreciate the finer things Instead of getting bad coffee and throwing a fit Maybe there's a hidden reason why Just going to work makes you wanna die Maybe when you feel uncomfortable You should be venturing out Instead of trying to hide I can't taste the magic I don't feel the same One day to another All time blends together What if money wasn't all there was To provide incentive for getting shit done Could we tune into a certain pitch, A pattern, a wave, a frequency to exist? Maybe you can't just flip a switch But if you do the work it should be easy to sit In your skin, in your life, in your smile In happiness, in warmth, in your smile I can't taste the magic I don't feel the same One day to another All time blends together

There is a way that we can carry ourselves There is a way we can support and uplift our lives The one you have to trust the most is you You don't need permission You don't need a map or some kind of guide You don't need a teacher You are the way, you have all that you need Mass distraction, words in both my ears Overwhelming all my senses We're not afraid to die Mass distraction, words in both my ears Biting, crawling on my senses It's not ok to lie Mass distraction, words in both my ears Plot to overthrow the census I ordered curly fries Mass distraction, words in both my ears Plot to override the censors Don't be afraid to goof off Don't be afraid to goof off Don't be afraid to do the things you wanna do 'Cause if you ain't gonna do them Then they ain't no gettin' done

Level 13,228 01:18
Different morning, same routine Different goals now, not much changed Same old boredoms, different ways, Same bleak outlook, not much changed What are we doing And why have we come here And where do we go after we've died down? After we've died down Where do we go? Into the heart of ourselves Into the heart of all We're all the same Playing in a new level of the same old game Avoid the pain So it's only our fault if it ends up lame What are we doing And why have we come here And where do we go after we've died down? Down
