The Mind Electric

[Verse 1]
Look who it is, the saddened and weak
It seems those beams of light have caused some glare
Freakish and dismal, hollow and bleak
I could go on, but let's leave it there
Resident Heart is feeble and frail
A scourge to purge, due diligence is all
Silent, sad outbursts, inaudible wails
Dictate he never does as he's told

[Verse 2]
Fathers of fathers, brothers of sons
Deterred from being what they know they can
All because Heart refuses to run
This creature hardly resembles a man

[Verse 3]
My logic is the absolute
His pity parties simply harm these chances at an apt repute
Esteemed regard in place of mockery

[Verse 4]
I'm sure it seems from his point of view
That I'm a simple, cynical machine
But is it so hard to see the whole truth?
I merely seek a Soul that's pristine

[Verse 5]
I can't claim that I enjoy this covering for a tortured boy
That's slowly tired of all his toys
His wiles and woes ring like white noise
And I know that it's hard to see my rhyme behind the entropy
But if he'd just once humor me
He'd see we need to live life logically

[Chorus]
See how The Heart plays profound
(See how he lies)
But the depth is insincere
A pathetic, thin veneer
All the pain, regret and fear still resound
(Ha ha ha ha)

See how his feet miss the ground
And he falls inside a hole he dug for me
The kind of irony you'd read in Bible stories
Maybe my existence might be by design
A simple fact that he'll refuse to see

[Outro]
Though I seem harsh in all my assessments
We each seek a life lived in the light
Yet, there lies our Heart, engulfed in resentment
Stubborn, pale akaryocyte
