lirik lagu the mind electric – chonny jash

[the heart acoustic]

think of these thoughts as hackneyed and trite
clichéd, depraved, disturbing and contrived
shallow, cold, wretched. miserable, dark and any other adjective
choose to sit safely out of the sun
away from rays so blinding to the eye
singing songs someone’s already sung. averting gaze from beautiful light
but as complacency settles, anxieties will rise
and part this soul as jekyll parted hyde
now i’m but half of a hollow man’s lies:
the love, the hate, the еmotional side
what’s the point in trying if this end rеsult of dying
sits persistently encloaked in dimness
life can’t thrive controlled by digits

“i know i’m weak. i know that i’m vile
but sometimes that is needed to survive.”
that’s what i’ll say to rationalize
“i’m needed if we’re to stay alive.”
and yet, here i lie with black, sunken eyes
my mind’s consigned our sighs to a leaden void
the soul remains tempered. i remain plied
condemned ‘til we are both all but destroyed

but i know that one plus one can’t equal two
if happiness is both our truths
our total sum must equal one if we’re to find that golden hue
so spiraling down entropically. i beg of thee, have mercy on me
i am just a boy, you see
i plead of thee, have sympathy for me

see how it hurts when the sound
begins to ring
and you feel it start to rot
and you beg for it to stop
but you’ve already dug your lot in the ground
see how the mind tricks the soul
into being something sickly, dead and cold
as you feel it start to tire and fester so, so slowly
up until the point where it will finally die
just in time to see what could have been

do what you want, you automaton freak
no, i can no longer bring myself to care
this hollowed out vessel’s beginning to creak
so take control, let’s see how you fare

[the mind electric]

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

[the soul eclectic]

yo
call me the soul or call me my name
oh, label me whatever you would like
call me your host or call me insane
if that will help you stay in line
(he’s a d*mn madman.) [he’s a depressed fool.]
(is that the one you truly want to be?)
[abandon him and we could live so free.]
warring all night, abhorrent and trite
you seem to forget, you answer to me
fathers of fathers, i know that i’m vile
let’s see how long it takes to murder me
neither is wrong, yet neither is right
condemn him to the infirmary

you must be so arrogant to think that either of you
can control the soul so wholly
when to be one whole you can’t hold solely

scattering sparks of thought energy
deliver me and carry me away
here in my kingdom i am your lord
i order you to cower and præy

[instrumental]

‘cos i’m not nearly kind enough to leave you parasites inside me
fumbling slowly down this path
in hopes the other’s struck by lightning

spiraling down. spiraling down
biting down
lighting rounds
hear the sound

([i. am. me.])

see how the serfs work the ground
([see how they fall.])
and they give it all they’ve got
and they give it all they’ve got
and they give it all they’ve got ‘til they’re down
([ha ha ha ha ha ha])

see how the brain plays around
and it splits what once was whole down into three
and you fall inside a hole, inside a
someone help me
understand what’s going on behind my eyes
doctor, i can’t tell if i’m not me

(see how he laughs at you.)
[seethe as he snarls at you.]
(he will never understand.)
[watch him struggle just to stand.]
(a cold and bitter stance.)
[the weaker half of man.]
(what a calculated, degradated hand.)
[watch him beg and bargain, time and time again.]

see how they fight all day
the other half won’t hear what’s had to say
it’s just the game they play here in this labyrinth maze

screams with no sense for why
one more day and more night
one more black and one more white
one more chance is all you’ve left to turn the tides

tridential regicide
i won’t hesitate to k!ll my heart and mind
i will abdicate these deviants sat inside
i’ll take you down in tandem when this rope is tied
