Spectrum
I’ve seen the quiet rooms
And every broken bone and bruise
I know the root
of the abuse
And all the ways you were used
Every misplaced diagnosis
Every attempt to maintain focus
All the actions you can’t redact
Every time you tried to interact
Come to me witch and hag
Come to me Roe and Stage
Come to me shattered priest
Come to me feral beast
In the world of the perfected
Power lies with the rejected
No red or blue or black and white we will blind you with our spectrum
I know your broken body
I know your shattered spine
When all you see is everything
You might as well be blind
I know your mind sharp as knives
Locked In a cage of rusty wire
And how you cannot speak
When your brains on fire
Chorus
The planet shatters beneath my weight
Suffocate eviscerate
My calibrated curses
Holy black powder verses
The hollow hearts
With burning minds
Broken bodies deaf mute and blind
Infected and terrified
The used abuse and sacrificed

I have answered all your questions
Explained my actions
But your facts are
predetermined
My fate decided
From your side
I’m uninvited
You say I'm scary
Make you wary
Say you love me
But distrust me
Extrapolated reasons
Of my behaviors
Make me a danger
But you lack the information
To understand the situation
I have clarified
And explained
Provided evidence
That contradicts
But your beliefs
Are goddamn Teflon
And nothing fuckin sticks
Chorus
In this life, you better choose a side
You’re not alive unless you risk your life
Neutrality is not a point of pride
You’re not alive unless you risk your life
You’ve given up your ethics
In exchange
For not dealing with
The complications that come from thinking
You’re uncommitted in your actions
You’re not a fighter
You’re liar
Standing aside
While others fight
So you can see which ones survives
You’re glowing with your golden pride
Basking in the satisfaction
Knowing in your lack of action
You didn’t participate
Alienate
Or accidentally associate
With someone whose beliefs might eventually incriminate
Because commitment makes you sick
Being in the middle does the trick
To keep you safe from punished
While still avoiding any judgment
Chorus
If you don’t want to hear opinions
Don’t put ideas where we can see em
Don’t ask questions you don’t want answered
Or expect statements unexamined
Interaction is a risk
And Staying silent keeps you safe
You don’t get one without the other
Even in your special case
When you make it to the end
Of this big bullshit, we call life
You can say with satisfaction
That you safely dodged the strife
You avoided making problems
Pushed away the big decisions
Spent your life as half a human
Made it all the way to dying
Without ever fuckin living
