lyrics

Invective blades,
Slice though my jaded palms
Veins numb to blushing violet lakes
Lash of gleaming shades,
Lure the lost to feast their eyes on graves
Exposé of chambered souls at early age

Dull mirages hide the prints
That finely thorn and frame the fence
The barbs remain,
Below the treasures blanketing the stage
No room for shadows in the jewel case,
Menagerie’s façade sustained

|: AUTOPILOT AUTO CAUSE A RIOT IN ME
AUTOPILOT CAUSE A RIOT IN ME PILOT :|

Rap verse by Kash:
From protons electrons to A.I. automatons
Relinquish your free will, for your protection
Killed spirit burned roots cut all your connections
Who are you? Don't even recognize your reflection
Did you take the red pill or did you give up control?
Do believe all they told? did you sell them your soul?
Do look you to the sky for a savior to come?
Or look in the mirror knowing you are the one?
Seize your destiny ain't no magic recipe
Live like it's your last day never just let it be
Do not go softly into the night rage against the machine
chase the truth like it's the air that you breathe
You will find passion is the key to unlock the mystery
When you love what you do life becomes a symphony

Rifler ammo arms the smiths,
Exposed to lapses of their tricks
Malignant strides no match for eyes,
Attentive to their shifting tides
My trove within,
Unmoved by spinning slander of my skin
