Dichotomy - Thavius Beck

My mind awakes it’s most emotive state

In preparation of sound creation

To escape the perpetuation of a cycle of self degradation

Maybe if placed in the proper context

These painful concepts could trigger the onset of a new mindset

Designed to get the self to exercise some appreciation

Different effects for different applications

Turning frustration into motivation

Isn’t an equation I studied at school

In life I’ve struggled to acquire these tools

But the desire to be a self sufficient supplier of ideas fueled by action

Immortalized in a flash

Then framed with the caption «he exudes satisfaction»

Is what I’m chasing

But out of arms reach it keeps escaping

Need to step up my pacing

No point in placing blame on any that exists outside my flesh frame

From the Midwest it came on a Greyhound bound

To make manifest these thoughts through sound

Maneuvering around what seems like an overflowing sea of dreams

Where many float face down

So I’ve learned to embrace the up and down pace in a race where humans compete

and consume or defeat their demons

If they believe in the need to do so

For some it’s crucial and I don’t refute those views

Nor do I subscribe to a dogmatic tribe of sheep

Grazing

Soon to be a shaven

Flock of sacrificial lamb chops

'Cause ultimately no one knows where the soul goes when we decompose

So I suppose it’s essential to live life to it’s fullest potential regardless

of environmental or circumstantial situations that seem substantial

The fact worth facing is the space you’re placed in is never coincidental
