lyrics

Can you both just be quiet?
Turning my cranium to a riot.
Mind changing like the climate.
Why did I become ever divided sum?
Can’t we just slide back to one?
- - -
My major malady is my own morality.
Keeping neutrality is the rationale in me.
You two are warring localities,
While I feel like I’m stuck in the canal between.
For now the scheme’s to stay impartial,
Between the righteous and the carnal.
The highness and the harmful.
The whiteness and the charcoal.
See, behind us we are whole,
Though there might just be bias in our soul.
There’s no escape from this grayness.
Juggling the black and the white.
Aimless, in spite of humaneness inside.
In the past, when for greatness I tried,
It felt like the heinous replied,
That “we could be painless in pride,
But Super would shame us to hide,
And likely deny the pleasures of being alive.
Now don’t try to become divine.”
That’s just my mind, lost below in a free flow.
I feel no right to try to be a hero.
I’m just trying to decide my own credo.
This is all the burden of having an Ego.
