Arranging Our New World
TBA
Song
Deluged in silent perception
The judging masses toying with power
Pulling at threads for some viral deception
What's the neutral baseline this hour
We all drop sands of unique perspectives
like esoteric countdowns with belief
Our hourglasses flow in timed abundance
but the greater picture provides no relief
It's barely in mind and always out of sight
unless the value, power, and position's right
No soul is sold to glory
just others' lives and spirit ties
A show of cabalistic setups
arranging our new world to the skies
No soul is sold to glory
just others' lives and spirit ties
A show of cabalistic setups
arranging our new world to the skies
In smoke and mirrors and an obscure reality
where fiction seems to foreshadow the truth
manipulation is more like a hobby
that doesn't leave any tangible proof
Rather than a tool for the people
it's like a sprinkler in a pissing match
and it's harder than Hell to thread a needle
when the twine is soaked and the tension's detached
The curtain hangs regardless of its stains
silhouetting the stage so the display reigns
No soul is sold to glory
just others' lives and spirit ties
A show of cabalistic setups
arranging our new world to the skies
No soul is sold to glory
just others' lives and spirit ties
A show of cabalistic setups
arranging our new world to the skies
We cannot crown our own achievements
Finales truncated never satisfy
the creators' and interpreters' visions
Leaving them all hanging out to dry
Withering into overused plotlines
Shriveling 'til cliche-ridden traits
override or become a cliffhanger
Stale and half-done endings rot in hate
Hoping for a miracle renewal
and a prolongation of the plot
that will tie the whole story together
but then there's still dealing with the rot
Standards have been systemized and become
worn thin in a streamlined "perfect" state
caught in a perpetual regurgance
where original ideas must wait
for their turn in the system's choosing
where we are not part of the greater plan
and it's just about control and using
public trust to gain the upper hand
There's a time and place for regulations
but certain things really do need to be free
and not used for greed or exploitation
by any group or single entity
