The Anti-Present

When push comes to shove the future won't
 Do it and I'll prove it and you will use it
 For every mind connected, a doomed reality protected
 The oppressor's mouth consume our
 Resources until there is nothing left
 In every threat there is a new one beside them, recurring, livid
 I am an anti-present - A paradoxical thought in an ending theme
 I am an anti-present - A nail in the mind's eye
 A collective narrative For fear and greed and
 The mindless cold Pushes you back into the fold
 The famine, the fear, the hate that stirs
 Evolving the dignity or the herds precious sanity, oh the vanity
 Technocratic clarity
 A god inside a wire
 The masses in awe beside her
 I am the anti-present - A paradoxical thought in an ending theme
 I am the anti-present - A nail in the mind's eye
 A sickened distortion in time, misconduct beyond good and evil
 A trial by fire, humiliation of the aeons
 A stoic statue of the failures eclipse the sun
 The mauled, the maimed - nothing more than ashes and soil
 A sickened distortion in time, misconduct beyond good and evil
 A trial by fire, humiliation of the aeons
 A stoic statue of the failures eclipse the sun
 The mauled, the maimed nothing more than ashes and oil
 We are anti-present - A paradoxical thought in an ending theme
 We are anti-present - A nail in the mind's eye
