The Power of Perception over Perceived Power (with audio)

We’re used to being soldiers.. Now our shoulders are  
More chipped than chiseled, and our heart needs a refill  
The war split from civil as I start to bleed free will..  
Sift through these arteries, a part of me dreams still  
Hard to speak, our disease is bargaining cheap thrills  
You can capture pictures.. I captivate imagination  
You just practice scripture while the passive traits attack a nation  
Get them acclimated.. That’s a lame exaggeration  
Facts aren’t as fascinating as the latest adaptation  
Truth is, there is none.. Certain of uncertainty  
Encircling the church.. Shoe fits, their wisdom..?  
Is surfacing as perjury in service to the Earth..  
Furthering the serpentine, merciless and worsening  
With urgency to work.. First to see the influence  
Misuse, and the damage done.. Ripped through  
To give you living proof of the planet, judged..  
Knowing is contradictory to faith, so we don’t know anything  
In the emptiness of space.. Perspective is everything  
In the destiny we face, but our legacy is so menacing  
We’ve never reached its place.. Perception.. Is reality  
Unless it’s out of callousness, the best depicts a fallacy  
Deception is a talent if it’s ending in fatality  
“Objection”; “I’ll allow it”.. The rest of it’s invalid.. See?  
We make our beliefs the truth..  
But we couldn't find it in church; they're too primitive and dangerous  
The truth was in the art, the most descriptive of its languages  
In it, we'll find the answers.. Hidden in the anguish it languished in  
Limited.. Complacent.. Fitted with the chains we encased it in  
Faceless, indiscriminate.. Witnesses take it to the grave with 'em  
Or it's weaponized.. Live with, or let die  
Our desensitized eyes have visions of red skies  
But a gentrified society's given a Best Buy, so we'll let it slide..  
Definitive end-times for the modern-day citizen  
Living the west lie on the back of eastern resources..  
Detour through the back streets as fascists speak of recourse  
Pacifists keeping score, and these activists need to lead more this..  
City's ridiculous.. Witty and meticulous; gritty, or inconspicuous  
A puppet CAN be president if he's.. Pretty articulate..  
That's relevant.. The felon's attempt at villainy  
But I could never pander to your delicate sensibilities  
To Hell with it.. It's killing me; the malevolence.. And the filigree  
The truth is they're useless, lacking intelligence.. And ability..  
He's bleeding for the cause and in return, we planned our exodus  
'Cause we can believe in God, just not the person standing next to us..
