The Truth About Altruism

It's hard to see beyond your own reality
When you've been brought up to believe all that you see
Don't stare too hard, You just might realize what you are
And when you do you'll see the grass is not so green
Everybody want's to be someone else
I'm still striving to be me
In this world of the illusory we are subject to the machine
Everybody is an altruist
We dream of unity
Inside players carry out the scheme
You gotta take one for the team
A game of numbers
And now you've been had
How many others are in the shoes you stand?
Living inside this dream
Things aren't quite what they seem
Forget your own desires
Learn some empathy
Your virtues don't mean shit
To the fat-cat hypocrites
Your empty wallet is your new world meal ticket
And I'm not buying it

Resolve

Your words empower me
And only strengthen my resolve
My fortitude, as I evolve
This grave dichotomy
It steels my heart and speeds my pace
My velocity, to win this race
You had your shot at life
You gave in
What did you forsake?
Your time?
Wait, or was it something more?
The years won't wash away your crime
There's nothing you can do
To lend your words validity, consistency, or potency
So sad the story goes
A fertile field just left to waste
Left to decay, what's left to say?
You had your shot at life
You gave in
What did you forsake?
Your pride?
Wait, or was it something more?
The years won't wash away my spite
And you wonder why...
It doesn't have to be this way
And now I want out
It didn't have to be this way
And now I'm slippin through the cracks

Pickin' Up The Pieces

Life's lookin' up today
I might just make it out okay
I hope it's not too late to say I'm sorry
Breathing comes easier
When my reflection doesn't suffocate or humilate me anymore now
Never fall again...
I'll take it day by day
Pickin' up the pieces left along the way
Take that other path less travled by
And say goodbye to the road I left behind
People they come and go
Lifeless shades of those I used to know
A grim reminder of the fate we once shared
Laughing comes naturally
A side of me that I thought was extinct
It serves to comfort me now that I can see
Never fall again...
Vices will break you down
Turn you inside out
Leave you without a face
Suffering
