lyrics
Rorschach Test
Eyes perceive color and shape.
Based upon experience. How we were raised.
Exposed to the right light, the surface will change.
Pour in insight and escape the deranged.
Images come to life. Flashing through time-based memories.
Crashing minds, logic collides, imperfect design.
Amassing legions of broken souls.
Pitiful hearts taken over by self-eating crows.
Falling asleep to wake up deceased.
Poison the last supper. Welcome to feast.
I am not so different,
only driven by other feelings, amid poorer upbringings.
Perspective forms a basis of judging all other living things.
Life and liberty take on new meaning.
Barefoot and bleeding.
Told to lift self-up by bootstraps.
Humility be scrapped.
Trapped in conversion therapy. Hope in atrophy.
Conservative appraisal. Pessimistically fucked.
Split the difference. There is no right answer to life.
Propagate the amorphous lie.
Feed the mob, exploit fear.
War on terror, native soil.
Insurrection drawing near.
Time, to look at the pretty picture, abstract blur.
Close your eyes to define,
the truth you want to find. Stutter and slur.
Patterns in chaos.
Ink blots or visions.
Shapes trigger memories.
Support the picture you have framed.
Rorschach Test.
Blot of ink lost in context. Meant to make you think.
Recall history, emotions cancelled. Wait for head to shrink.
Rorschach test. There is no pass or fail.
Rorschach test. Slide rule, weighted scale.
A black mirror reflecting back.
Dark dystopian heart attack.
Scrape away the dust and haze.
Judge what you see with untarnished clarity.
