The Invisible Hand

I had been led by an invisible hand
Had the earth been divided
Two hands extended
Stone or steel
Us or them
Poison or noose
Axiom of choice
Fallacies given voice
(burn) pushing, (my) pulling, (heart) reaching - illusion of control
(burn) Weeping, (my) wailing, (heart) burning - words in a vacuum
It's laissez-faire
A facade left bare
An end in itself - to the end
An oracle on the head of a coin
I had been led by an invisible hand
Had the earth been divided
Two hands extended
Stone or steel
Us or them
Poison or noose
Miswired motives
Binary wisdom
Marginal utility
Absolute zero
I've lost ages to doctrine and dogma
Seeking transient goals, severing off branches of purpose
But in the end it's all so painfully finite
Squeezing from the grip of the invisible hand

Blunderbuss

A sun sets from a land once more
Taking with it all the time it knew
All those windows closed and doors passed by
All those bridges burned and worlds denied
I have nothing to show for my time
Welcome to your dreams
They've come to haunt those who wished them seen
My heart burns with ambition and desire
I must be courageous enough to try and fail
I want to fucking know what fulfillment is
Wishes form and fall in spans of days
Visions form and cloud the mental space
All these years have gone
Why do I still long?
What you see is what will be
Stay away

The Mold
04:15

Great expectations filling our hands
Wild invitations setting our paths
Woe is me, what have I done?
Grasping for the light
But there is none
Just another day in the life of a pallid noble
I was born into limited belief systems
And now I'm torn between the sins of the fathers and the wisdom of the past
Even these walls convey me nothing - ephemeral, loosely divine
Age brings down idols wildly set high
All framed immortal, all frame a lie
Tradition calcified
Just another day in the shadow of pallid nobles
I am torn between the sins of the fathers and the wisdom of the past
Actor, honor, leader
Pellar, beggar, liar
