The soul versus the body
The mind versus the soul
The body versus the mind
The body loses control
The soul versus the body
The mind versus the soul
The body versus the mind
The body loses control
[Verse 1]
I was born in the past tense but reside in the parallel
Always trying to advance to the present tense through elements
Confused in formats move by improvement on design
With flawless engineering now is tested by time suns
Birth of the whimsical mystical by motives alone
Desire to move forth north locomotive zone souls
Cryptic and capsized stranded by economics
And floating point equations combined with lo-fi sonics
The mass market appeal lost momentum at first step
Cause all birth marks resemble the threat to the jet set
The middle class dominating, plus suppression of known facts
With illumnatus references to pull us all off track
We're so fucking lost that we don't know where to start again
Oblivion is bliss, so we pretend we pretend
[Hook]
The soul versus the body
The mind versus the soul
The body versus the mind
The body loses control
The soul versus the body
The mind versus the soul
The body versus the mind
The body loses control
[Verse 2]
I mean really, who the fuck wants to wear this mask and gun
And blow the face off the first guy who tries to run
The means is the art, that's the close to the millennium 2002-full
Presentations to exemplify
We master words to intensify the message, I presage
Manipulation for those too weak minded to contemplate
Undermining sexuality to creatively masturbate
You see, I cut out the process that you won't go and hold true
And leave an open window for the strangers to look through
So take a good look, give the memory photogenic
And I'll change the furniture then call on the paramedics
Cause when we encounter each other and our auras collide
Someone will retaliate and collapse into twisted pride
[Hook]
The soul versus the body
The mind versus the soul
The body versus the mind
The body loses control
The soul versus the body
The mind versus the soul
The body versus the mind
The body loses control
[Verse 3]
My ego is tainted by a foreign path to motivation
Our creation motivates us out of our situations
Our situations be the way to our heart's contentment
But contentment is comfort and comfort leads to resentment
Resentment eats away at the luscious exterior
And the interior then follows because the body is superior
Superiority leads to the forming of the complex
And complexity adds confusion that sways truth from context
Out of context leads to the forming of blurred vision
Creating disillusion in the forming of superstition
Superstition enhances and justifies false thought
Deteriorating all of the lessons that history has taught
And erasing our history is the first step to detriment
And detriment is death in a form that's heavens' sent
[Hook]
The soul versus the body
The mind versus the soul
The body versus the mind
The body loses control
The soul versus the body
The mind versus the soul
The body versus the mind
The body loses control
