IDC - Thavius Beck

It’s inherent and readily apparent

That frankly I don’t really fucking care if

What I do brings shame or embarrass

You ain’t judge, jury, bailiff, or sheriff

So the merit of your judgment is minimal

Compared to the substance of this individual

‘Cuz man’s measured not only by his potential

What’s essential’s the motive of his actions

Slick liars slip when they’re seeking traction

Because the truth is their hell is frozen over

And everyday is exponentially colder

While the sun shines on my mind and my passions

And the rations to bask in are plentiful

Between eventual torrential downpours

That’s what the samples and sequential sound’s for

Emancipation from life’s precipitation

It’s inherent and readily apparent

That frankly I don’t really fucking care if

My actions bring shame and embarrass

You ain’t judge, jury, bailiff, or sheriff

So your careless comments can never offset

My pursuit of this game’s true object

Despite abject horror and destruction

And other functions of self-preservation

Reality is merely a manifestation

Of the activity in one’s imagination

And the willingness to fight for its existence

In the absence of instant gratification

Resistance is an active participant

‘Cuz progress requires a true counterpart

My art’s gained strength due to this process

Thus the power to express the experience
