The Mind Electric Lyrics

Look who it is, the saddened and weak

It seems those beams of light have caused some glare

Freakish and dismal. Hollow and bleak

I could go on, but let's leave it there

Resident Heart is feeble and frail

A scourge to purge; due diligence is all

Silent, sad outbursts, inaudible wails

Dictate he never does as he's told

Fathers of fathers, brothers of sons

Deterred from being what they know they can

All because Heart refuses to run

This creature hardly resembles a man

My logic is the absolute

His pity parties simply harm these

Chances at an apt repute

Esteemed regard in place of mockery

I'm sure it seems from his point of view

That I'm a simple, cynical machine

But is it so hard to see the whole truth?

I merely seek a Soul that's pristine

I can't claim that I enjoy this

Covering for a tortured boy

That's slowly tired of all his toys

His wiles and woes ring like white noise

And I know that it's hard to see

My rhyme behind the entropy

But if he'd just once humor me

He'd see we need to live life logically

See how the heart plays profound

(See how he lies)

But the depth is insincere

A pathetic, thin veneer

All the pain, regret and fear still resound

Ha ha ha ha

See how his feet miss the ground

And he falls inside a hole he dug for me

The kind of irony you'd read in Bible stories

Maybe my existence might be by design

A simple fact that he'll refuse to see

Though I seem harsh in all my assessments

We each seek a life lived in the light

Yet, there lies our Heart, engulfed in resentment

Stubborn, pale akaryocyte
