Miscreant Citizen

Lying awake, you start to take yourself for granted
 Nothing you make will ever break, your feet are planted
 Chase your golden chariot, you're the one who'll bury it
 All the world you're parroting, that's what you're inheriting
 Everything you decide to do is automatic
 Your points of view are nothing new, it's only static
 And when you speak your mind, lay your chips before you
 Look around and you will find all your friends ignore you
 What you think you know drags you down until you're
 Out past the ebb and flow, and it's unfamiliar
 Now that you're caught, you're in a know, you can't continue
 What have you got? Don't have a thought to spare within you
 Hide behind your vanity, compromise your sanity
 Swollen pride so passionate, fusing lies to fashion it
 Nobody plays, you waste your days so cavalierly
 Set in your ways, lost in the haze you love so dearly
 Oh, and it's all too much, it's a dangerous diet
 You, you have lost your touch, but you still deny it
 Running free
 Axons awash in a chemical sea
 It's such a simple skill, it's a cinch to master
 But you never will, you're just spinning faster
 You're off the track, you can't go back, you're slowly falling
 Into the black and bitter crack that keeps you crawling
 Watch your plots go tumbling, feel The Abstract crumbling
 All your plans are paralyzed, swallowed up and sterilized
 Thought you were smart, a work of art, your own Valhalla
 You fell apart, now you can start to do it all again
