The history within me


I keep writing all these facts Become Ancient artifact Running laps Staying in place Welcome to the tank Wheels keep spinning Balance like my taste buds Telling the real from artificial Taking time to redream On a trillion mind network Cooking the heat up Checking the menu Hint if the price is right Negotiate terms on baby size deal VIP Never Negotiate on an empty tummy Business flows Get your monopoly money Steal the dream Leaving coal behind the scene Something the afterlife will understand Work for hunger Never get paid enough Bounce back before the caves collapse Repeat history An sos from the past From another planet Relapsing the gaps Something's never change No matter what planet were on Search and destroy Move on to the next They came to warn They got mad and destroyed History Let the truth free at last Blast Tick tick boom Mad because it wasn't from you So destroy and control Relight the fumes To blind Realign a controlling system to enslave Brainwashed Torched Hung Burn Is that how you control things? Playing the victim because the truth came The future came The past staned The present to blame?
