This can't be real This doesn't seem real Seems like a scripted event Ask "What would be different If the whole thing were fake?" The answer is NOTHING You pledge Your allegiance To a flag That's been bought and sold This can't be real This doesn't seem real Hello cruel world Ruled by evil Say hello to a brave cruel world Our dark age has already begun I propose that nothing We just witnessed was real A Play Market research Showed would placate An arrogant Confused Populous That's used to abuse

The Mirror 03:12
I don't mean to hurt your feelings I know you're sensitive A word you use: Snowflake Melts facts into mistakes I don't mean to hurt your feelings I know you're sensitive You've done nothing special You've done nothing special You're not part of something greater That's just what they tell you To make you do what they want to C'mon in 2017 nations are business You've been bought by the lowest bidder You're not default special Aligned with a regions logo It's fucking fabric You love it More than your neighbors and friends More than decency More than the morals prescribed By your own churches

After all everything is made of patterns After all everything is made of patterns It's the errors that interest the most When they repeat indefinitely After all everything is made of patterns After all everything is made of patterns It's the errors that interest the most When they repeat indefinitely Formations of stone Provide the error Deemed by selection To be worth repeating Deemed by selection To be worth repeating The universe Views itself through cracks in the Crystalline

It's always savin' lives And it gets me high I did the research Informed decision They tried to sell me pills Told me it was health Started believin' when I was a kid Now I'm skeptical Green inseparable I took my gas mask and made it a bong This city smells like dope Chronic gives us hope Hemp materials endless respawn My sister's name is Mary Jane And mine is bud Mine is bud

See monster 04:24
Now don't get me wrong My core belief is peace But approaching a line in the sand When racism combines with police, banks and law When we keep people in camps When churches dictate who we love I've had enough Don't forgive racists Cut off bigots Disassociate Make sure their family, friends & coworkers know what they are I don't see person I see monster OK I admit I feel hate every day Towards humans that create A structure of society Based on trivial physical traits...No Let's clarify the difference...Ya And force unequivocally evil ideas to stop Don't forgive racists Cut off bigots Disassociate Make sure their family, friends & coworkers know what they are I don't see person I see monster
