The Levitation Hex

path
Short cuts not credible
I'll take the longest path possible

All we can learn is in-between
All that's heard and all that's seen
Everything is visible
I'll take the longest path possible

On the path you will find love
On the path you will find hate
Everything has meaning
I'll take all of the above

The longest path brings sorrow
The longest path brings joy
So take it in your stride
This method I employ

Absorb the positive
Learn from the negative
Think not of what you get
But rather what you give

Gather those around you
Who never put you down
Hold close the ones who smile
Not those who wear a frown

I'll walk the longest path
I'll have the last laugh

On this path I'll walk the longest
Stand up straight and be the strongest
Learn what I can along the path
Mock me now but I laugh last

2. Manipular
I'm forever backing you
Now I really see that it's true
Lie lie cheat and lie
Cross your heart and hope to die
I'm the fool that joke is on you

You won't choose between the two
Seems that it's ok with you
One two one or two?
Not the decent thing to do
Can't rely on you to be true

Nobody else seems to see
Your manipulative deceit
One day they might see
All the things you've done to me
But I guess that's up to them to believe

Never ever seems ok to me

Guess I should have known from this start
The ways of your deceptive heart
Don't matter to you who you owe
As you fool the ones you know
Suit yourself and tear it apart

And you are manipuliar
Ever since the start
And you'll be manipuliar
Until you change the ways of your heart
That's started bleeding
For your own demise
Regret for all your treachery
Open up your eyes

Forever it seems that it's been
Now expose the truth to be seen
You have made the final burn
But now the tables have been turned
Clean your slate but bend the truth
Your lack of loyalty the proof

Manipuliar you are manipuliar

3. Scratch A Life And Find A Thief
The alpha predator strives to stay the top of the chain
The ones below scramble for the crumbs that remain
The further down the line
the more oppressive your plight
The further up are oblivions, you're scratching a life
The poorer you are the more that they take from you
The less that you earn the harder you work
There is no social justice, I believe that it true
Scratch out a life for your time on the earth
Scratch out a life for your time on this earth
Start digging the grave from the moment of birth

Fall - There's no reason to climb at all
Try - The promise of betters a life

I'm not judging who's better or worse
The happiest people come home covered in dirt
If you strive to be a leader then lucky for you
The ones below make it possible to do

Scratch a life, find a thief

You scratch our a life, and discover a thief
There taking from you more than you can believe
If it has to be paid for and you know that it's true
Garnish your income until there is none left for you
You might find that you have no other choice but to climb

And if you must climb to the top
The hardship may stop
But are you better off?

And while you're there
Remember that you
Were once the bottom and hated it too

The way to lead
With compassion and care
Should be the way
Encourage to share

Don't forget
That there is hardship and pain
Never use others
For your selfish gain

4. Depressedemic
What is in the present day that's pulling everybody down?
It makes me wonder if true happiness can ever be found
Is it the pressure of our careers and that they do not satisfy?
Is it the fact that people say they care but it's a lie?

Depresedemic taking over me
Depresedemic makes it hard to see
Depresedemic must be more than this
Depresedemic the absence of bliss
Depresedemic keeping people down
Depresedemic wear the losers frown
Depresedemic see your life through tears
Depresedemic live your life in fear

And every day you drag your weary sole to
work and think what am I doing here?
Even thinking seems hurt
And why are more and more people falling out
I know depresedemic no doubt

I'm feeling down
And I'm dragging my feet on the ground

Over and over the game plays in my head
Depressing images of my life of fear and dread
Got to keep my chin up and control this damn disease
And take control of fate until my life pleases me

So many people suffering and living tortured lives
So fed up there ambition remains unsatisfied
People disconnected can't reach out for a friend
Blindly living life and praying for the end

5. Internal Chatter
I close my eyes and try to sleep
But there ain't no prayer to god to take my soul to keep
The conversations in my head
Are they everything that's not been said?
Restless the dialogue continues
And scenarios repeat and I never sleep
Medications not the answer to my woes
Switching of much harder than it seems

Too much to think about
It's unresolved
I need to rest but how
Problem not solved

Internal chatter fills the thoughts of troubled souls
The restlessness unfolds
Internal chatter let my mind come to a close
Internal chatters not the life I chose

There's no solution to slow the chain of thought
The lack of sleep is going to do me harm
In insomnia I'm caught
I always wake before the damn alarm!

The voices in my head won't stop and
it's all that I can take
I can't close my mind sleep
So I dream while I'm awake
The days drag on and on and on
and it seems so do the nights
My conscious and subconscious thoughts
in a never ending fight

6. A Breathing Aparatus
I am only trying to breathe

The endless cycle of sorrow ends
The failed commitment that you pretend
Your negativity suffocates
Relentless passion to deviate

Smother me with promises and lies
Intent on your agenda to deny
I can feel resentment that you weave
Release your grasp to finally let me breathe

It's obvious that you don't care
I'm only trying to breathe the air

Lungs are filled with toxic gas
As you hold on to the past
Choking me with your deceit
Release me, leave my soul to breathe

Every time I take a breath you try and smother me
I never tried to rule your thoughts, you won't leave me be
All the tasks I undertake are for the common good
I'd really like to sew your lips, I couldn't but I should
A hand over my face isn't going to take you very far
Negative and weak seems to be everything that you are
Denying your own faults will begin to tear you up inside
I will stand up for myself no longer will I run and hide

Living life is all I'm asking for
Not being trapped in a revolving door
Experience before I meet with death
It's possible if I could take a breath

If I could take a breath

7. Breaking Point
I know the feeling of the fall
I don't have the power to heal souls

And in my life I've seen the outcome
of a person pushed to far
To push a being to this point shows the person
that you are

From time to time we slip and blame
we see one side of the coin

We see the cracks appear but keep pushing
them to their breaking point

Flexible malleable impossible to snap
Expansion points left open, no surface overlaps
A structure relies on the strength of its joints
Everything that's built has a certain breaking point

And so it is with man
Only so much one can stand
Only so much you can take
Until your psyche starts to break

Only so much truth until you see the lies
No euphoria until the pain subsides
Just ignore the pain and get on with your lives
Don't think about the lows
when you're riding the highs

And there is only one thing to do
That's to be sure they don't take you
and break you in two

Manage your ego don't force others under your wing
Fill in the cracks before decomposing begins

Try hard to keep it together as long as you can
Let it die gracefully when you're sure that it is the end

There are hidden forces that you cannot learn to control

Sometimes you must wait for outcomes to slowly unfold
Look fro the signs of stress
when things are starting to split

But just remember you might not be able to stop it
All that exists lives under the power of force
All that is bound relies on the strength of its joints

All that you see lies on its relevant course
Everything here cannot exceed its breaking point

8. Flirting With Schizophrenia
I can see two
I can sense you

I chose to indulge
And the price I pay
Is dealing with two
Separate persons in my brain
I must learn to deal
With the consequence I see
You have become me
Mind split in two

And it won't repair the errors of your way
If you flirt with schizophrenia today
I won't listen to what I have to say
Because I flirt with schizophrenia anyway

Living life as two separate half's
Walking on both sides of the path
Torn apart I argue with myself
Need to heal, don't know how to start
I am wishing my emotions away
The negativity I'm trying to ignore
I am starving one side of my brain
Stuck with two self's for evermore

A losing battle a fight within myself
A torrid affair of insanity and stable mental health
Switch of my mind and try to turn away
But we've decided to flirt within schizophrenia today

We flirt with schizophrenia
It's my phobia
To flirt with schizophrenia
It's my phobia
We flirt with schizophrenia
It's my phobia
To flirt with schizophrenia now

I can't stand it the turmoil in my head
Two minds switched on at once
I wish that one was dead
I can't take it the voices in my mind
A balance of the two is very hard to find

9. Dream Defecit
Interrupting my subconscious flow
Now awakened it has let me know
Denying functions of cerebral paths
Now without, my dreams for-fill their tasks

Held back by chemical intrusion
Self-induced subconscious non-inclusion
Manifest in my lucid delusions
Outcome from the dream worlds seclusion

When I awake I can't recall
It seems I never dream at all
I miss the world made in my mind
Nocturnal journeys left behind

My dreams are absurd and fictitious
My dreams are demented and malicious
My dreams are preparation for living
I missed the lessons learnt by dreaming

And now the gates are open for the twisted thoughts to come to life
All the demons of the past were held back from my subdued mind
I awake disturbed from the vivid images and visions
Only time will tell if the lucid tales will cease and restore my peaceful slumber

I can't recall
When I'm with you
It's true
