No Place Here Lyrics

Among the liars, flag fliers,
factual deniers
the war on instinct has begun
scientific distortion,
philosophical contortion
let it be abortion
that now grants us none
Mental regression,
self-image obsession,
under the guise of
oppression they
sanctimoniously leech.
the revolutionaries, &
over-reactionaries
are the contemporaries
who cannot practice
what they preach.

The false accusers,
privileged abusers,
bias users bathing in
the bile they birth
The distribution of
one's own confusion
casts false illusions
of what they deem of worth
Self-reflective denial,
projecting outward trial
a plague so vile it shields
the mortal mind
hypnotizing the spineless,
capitalizing on blindness
guided sightless
is the humankind

Individualism verses
collectivism,
what is free will
if the will cannot be free
With persuasion
of denomination
does what you believe
bestow the right to deceive

Take what you've been handed,
endowed, inherited and granted
and through your fingers let it fall
With the alleviation of appreciation
without double standards
would there be any at all...

I cannot see myself in
this world being found,
among those who claim down
is up while others swear
that up is down
There is no knowledge of
the inhumanity once withstood,
that could cease those
from weaponizing their
own victimhood.
Where logic holds no
validity over emotion,
it is the taste of entitlement
that detracts the relevance
of their devotion

And it darkens the sense
of a greater understanding, when
they've fallen deaf to all dialogue
other than their own demandings.
And they focus their faith into a
chosen form of extremism
like a swinging pendulum,
the behest of a subconscious
hypnotism. To insist
immunity in the light of a
false alliance, squealing
foolishness to accompany
the continued acts of
their defiance. In the end
they'll only hear what it is
they want to hear,
the weakening words
of a failing campaign
in which they choose to smear.
The only consistency found
can be within their own doubt,
as they descend
with communal ad hominems
channeling casuistic clout.
The most privileged protect their
political pose, polarizing personal...
...principle & propagating
a platform for their phony prose....
A fictitious brotherhood,
a fraudulent kin,
only projecting outward
what it is that they so feel within.
There is no reflection,
restraint or redaction,
to those who cannot take responsibility
for the contamination of their own action
And they push their concepts of
identity upon us all, out-thrusting
nonsense so that they may have
a sword on to fall
And we wait for the cowards
to take their leave, for there is no trust,
no virtue and definitely no honor
among these thieves
Where every step is a contradiction
to their last, a promenade on
display... a forward march into
their past. Through the intolerance
of their desperate disposition shown,
becoming disenfranchised
by the infantile climates in which
they've thrown. I cannot see myself
among a flock controlled by fear, for
I have no place there & they have
no place here
