the race

i heard there was a place where we're all one race, color, gender, age never could dictate, i saw there was a time when we valued all life, nobody oppressed, everyone had rights, suddenly, in an age where the distance between us is binary, all we see, is an internal war, friendly fire in the sky and respect on the floor, constricting like a heart attack, a mythomaniac on the loose in the streets, blood boiling with the burning heat, of caustic defeat, now there's no turning back, ha! so we laugh while the tides all turn, maiting grey matter, voluntarily slaves, always searching for the one real truth, so we can misconstrue it to suit our needs, constricting like a heart attack, a mythomaniac on the loose in the streets, blood boiling with the burning heat, of caustic defeat, now there's no turning back, ingesting, operant conditioning, divine contamination, like lye on flesh - it stings, trust your leaders, trust the system, reproduce, repeat, never question authority, never suspect deceit, always on the run, can't remember where we're running to, or what we're running from but we're picking up speed, all the books and broadcast? jettison!, without their burden true ethics are freed, extract the labels that lobotomize, and you'll realize we are all one, fly or swim, fur or skin, we're alive! abolitionists rise!, constricting like a heart attack, a mythomaniac on the loose in the streets, blood boiling with the burning heat, of caustic defeat, now don't go turning back
