Unattained - Revocation

Righteousness reaching out cunning hands

Molding minds of the meek

Mindfucked by the hope of a promised land

A pious purpose, automated response

A synthetic, sympathetic reaction

In sheltered simplicity emotions are lost

To dispassionate stupefaction

An innocent indoctrination, numbing mind-conversion

Thought beaten down while spirit drowns in

Ignorance immersion

Abandon all hope, see, feel, hear and taste nothing

Within and without, surrounded by suffering

Deliver me from my senses

Spurn the consolation of religion

And illusions of immortality

When you savor eternal suffering

Purged, purified, you’ll be set free

Desperately I seek truth

From thoughts rendered through mind

Striving forward with baited breath

I reach for what it hides
