Hubris - Portraits

Lie awake

Shadows fill the room above him, dominate his mind

Tangible measurements will certify that ghostly skulls don’t lie

The mind reveals itself in shape and measure

Singular harmony in shape and measure

Inherent quality in shape and measure

And human origin untold!

A truth and a lie intertwined

Lucid thought undermined

Bias left behind

I’m left behind

Caught up in paradigm

Reconcile with design

Bias left behind

I’m left behind!

Nevermore

Hatred would be tolerated, then he swore to find

He would find a pedestal to teach the masses

Self assured hindsight

Look back with certainty and change the story

Set out to demonise and change the story

Shout down and ostracise and change the story

Persuade the weak at any cost!

The able led by the blind

Lucid thought undermined

Bias left behind

I’m left behind

Caught up in paradigm

Reconcile with design

Bias left behind

We’re left behind

My belief will come to blind me

Blind me, blind me

Use the power you hold wisely

Let the truth free

My belief will come to blind me

Blind me, blind me

Pride will lead us all to folly

Fact or falsely

My belief will come to blind me

Blind me, blind me

Who will find their courage lonely?

With no decree

My belief will come to blind me

Blind me, blind me!

My beliefs have come to blind me

Blind me, blind me!

My convictions set will blind me

Blind me, blind me!

This is eye for an eye

Lucid thought undermined

Bias left behind

And left behind

Two mistakes make a right

Single goal through a fight

Bias left behind

We’re left behind

My beliefs will come to blind me

Blind me, blind me!

Use the power you hold wisely

Let the truth free!

Pride will lead us all to folly

Fact or falsely!

My beliefs are here to blind me

Blind me, blind me!
