letra de shadow self - exodus to infinity

welcome!
to a world without “no”
we train the leviathan to f-ck rousseau
“everything for me!”
that’s your only decree
cloaked in a veil of benevolence: “i’ll give you bullsh-t for free!”
and you never had to fake a smile
machiavelli’s “prince” turned into a lifestyle
like a petulant child or beast in the wild
you blunder ahead without a shred of blame for everything you defile

you think that makes you smart?
you’re just a tin scarecrow without a brain or a heart
you call brutality an externality
and disavow your own immorality
and the meek wеre supposed to inherit thе earth
but now thanks to you they’ve been cursed from birth
cursed with kindness and cursed with blindness
the tenderest hearts are the meat you love to eat!

in the shadows, are you struck by shame?
on your death bed, will you realize?
in the shadows, would i become you?
on my death bed, would i smile?

i’m so sick of status games
unsaid meaning for selfish gain
don’t try to fool me
i see right through it
despite all the words you say
there’s a bug in this game you play
a parasite that you host
you’ll turn into a hungry ghost
what if the weak parts of you
are the parts of me i never work through?
you’re the wolf at the door, but who am i?
i’m the one who let you inside!
now you’re here in the light
with gleaming t–th born to bite
i’ve got no choice
forced to be a slave or tyrant
a predator or prey

i won’t take this anymore
you’ll see what i’ve got in store
i know what my t–th are for!

(“whatever form it takes, the function of the shadow is to take the opposite side of the ego
and embody just those qualities that one dislikes most in other people…
if we identify our own shadow with, say, the communists or the capitalists
a part of our personality remains on the opposing side
the result is that we shall constantly though involuntarily do things behind our own backs that support this other side
and thus, we shall unwittingly help our enemy.”)

in the shadows, i have left behind
acts of power i have demonized
all i’ve done is cede control to you
light and shadow must be reconciled!
archetype asylum

(“the loss of a young person is always a terrible blow
but in this case, it’s even more cruel because
nate was an idealist and he struggled all through his life
to be a good man.”
– george’s eulogy at nate’s funeral, six feet under, season 5 episode 10

“and indeed, as he listened to the cries of joy rising from the town
rieux remembered that such joy is always imperiled
he knew what these jubilant crowds did not know but could have learned from books:
that the plague bacillus never dies or disappears for good;
that it can lie dormant for years… and that perhaps the day would come when
for the bane and the enlightening of men
it roused up its rats again and sent them forth to die in a happy city.”
– the plague by albert camus as read by dr. gabor maté)

this gentle soul inside
cannot compete with time
it’s time to say goodbye
goodbye

this gentle soul inside
cannot compete with time
it’s time to say goodbye
goodbye
this gentle soul inside
cannot compete with time
it’s time to say goodbye
goodbye
