Arbitrary Rules Lyrics

It's like a prison sentence

Stuck within this premise

Metaphor out of control

Release and claim my penance

Do I fall into obsession

Do I claim my independence

Do I give these possessions

Or grieve my inner tenets

I more insecure than ever

Feel the cold of north December

I crave a the purest form of warmth

A light of coals in ember

I don't recognize myself

I'm the picture of imperfect health

I'm concerned that I'll be seen

As weak the moment that I ask for help

Like a seam will rip and everything

I built will come undone

And I will be left with nothing and no one

I know I see extremes

But I'm extremely warped

With an earned anxiety of working

With no end to achieve

It's like Sisyphus felt when he let go

Knowing full well he'd continue to roll

Boulders built broad shoulders

To hold stones that's so much larger

Still he feels the weight as he ages

And creates a new paige

And says son it's the order

It's yours to roll as you get older

Yeah and so on and on we move

Sometimes I think it's all arbitrary rules

I've seen so many sides

That my eyes might just collide

And return to the void

A never ending cosmic soup

And I'm haunted by an echo

Like an incepted idea saying let it go

Do I dare to dream

Or do I dare to grieve

Do I dare to dream

Or do I dare to grieve

So welcome to the stasis

Welcome to elation

A dreaded confrontation

Between destiny and wages

Welcome to the jungle

Welcome to the kind of thinking

That melt the world beyond and leave

Everything you love a puddle

The more I write

The more I know I'm all talk

I don't follow through

I don't run

I don't walk

I just say what would be best

And continue to do what's easy

So when I make the righteous

Claims I hope no one believes me

I mistrust myself

And by that I mean miss trust

I used to give it all away

but nowadays no luck

I'm a cluster fuck

Of wonder lust

Still I wonder

If I'm just stuck

My brains creating

All these cozy ruts

And is my purpose on earth

Just to sit and be worthless

It's a curse that our value

Is like change in some purses

I think that changes a person

Dollar chasing money making

Like a flame that we worship

Please restrain your emersion

And I'll be up on a pike

By the end of the night

Cause even tho I said it

Doesn't mean that I'm right

It's a lasting conversation

It's a solo observation

Outlasting reservations

Without retaliation

Global realization

In a liminal space

Cause no ones left alive

Without a livable place

So settle on a distraction

No room for reaction

No plans and no action

Just stay in your bastion and

Just make that little brain dance

Excite it just right and get into a trance

Just make that little brain dance

Excite just right and get into a trance
