Cognitive Suicide

[Todd Kowalski] You were a flash of light Across a sky of total dark You saw their shocked and gaping jaws Then it all returned to black There was a brief surge of panic Their eyes pressed tight You brought a swarm of confusion to their bleak but simple lives Cognitive suicide Insular, pathetic minds Try to cut you off at the knees So they won’t be left behind If everything is bland and unambiguous Maybe they can understand how they fit into this place Every time they fail they seek a victim for their spite Some dismal need to crush someone beneath their feet All their acrid words can’t ease their wounded hearts Despite their claims they have no maps No keys to any gates Cognitive suicide Insecure, regressive minds Try to cut you off at the knees So they won’t be left behind Petrified Frozen to imaginary times Pay no mind I hope they pass you by Live your life And don't apologize To the cowards of this world They're a waste of time Everything's in be-tween Are they terrified of unobscured and brilliant colors? Perhaps you cracked the door to their own forbidden worlds Everything's in-between
