Cognitive Dissonance - Jake E

I jump the neural path

I bring the lantern further

Into the cave that you made

For yourself and your human mistakes

I tread the oceans vast

I break the chains you gave me

I am the exposed lie

I’m the fallthat comes after the high

So take me, and use me

I’m free you

Just let me

Cognitive dissonance, love, can’t be ignored

It’s selling your conscience, whore for the world

You can run away from it as I too have tried

But it all catches up so just give it some time

Cognitive dissonance, love, soul that’s for sale

The needle you take and the drugs you inhale

A primitive fix for the wars that we wage

Against all we know and the lives that we take

You’ve held the bloody knife

You’ve burned the missing pages

You’ve wept beside the corpse

Of the victim whose heart thar you tore

You rape immortal truth

You blame it all one others

You’d never sleep again

If your lies weren’t your remaining friends

So take me, and use me

Or I’ll be

Your ending

Cognitive dissonance, love, can’t be ignored

It’s selling your conscience, whore for the world

You can run away from it as I too have tried

But it all catches up so just give it some time

Cognitive dissonance, love, soul that’s for sale

The needle you take and the drugs you inhale

A primitive fix for the wars that we wage

Against all we know and the lives that we take

And in everything I know

And in the pain i won’t show

I’ll find the right deception

Indiscretion

Mental suicide

Cognitive dissonance, love, can’t be ignored

It’s selling your conscience, whore for the world

You can run away from it as I too have tried

But it all catches up so just give it some time

Cognitive dissonance, love, soul that’s for sale

The needle you take and the drugs you inhale

A primitive fix for the wars that we wage

Against all we know and the lives that we take

Cognitive dissonance, we no longer ignore

All the lise that we tell, entertain them no more

And define every sin we’ve commited in life

Else we perpetuate all the anger and strife

Repurpose the dark criminal deep in my soul

Be the mirror I look into before I can fall

And forgive me at last for the truth left unsaid

'Cause I’m promising you, I forgive you in death

After all this, I Forgive you in death

Rewriting this to correct dissonance
