Conform To Nothing

from Abreaction by Isle of the Equinox

lyrics

I once dreamt of seeing a house set
to a backdrop, oh so picturesque.
A rustic view of our tradition
and with her glance, I’ve already won.

Now, I awake from what’s so clearly staged
as if I’d ever see myself engaged.
In such idealistic lifetime cues
condemned to fatalistic views.

(Push my luck here.)
I know I’ll break before I bend, a pessimist until the end.
And all I get, condescending talks of who I’ll be outside this box.

If everyone’s content on calling me out
be rest assured that I’ve had my doubts.
At continuing this existence of stark betrayal
of societal norms set: coffin and nail.
Think this is what I want, you’re so dead wrong.
Count all of your blessings that I’ll be gone.

Break the bank on this one way trip
to somewhere far is my only tip.
Sick of this place and what its done to me.
Just too docile as you can see.

Send your letters to address unknown.
Lessons I can only learn on my own.

(Just don’t worry.)
I could tell a thousand lies about the story in my eyes.
Written clear as day they sell, all these lights they overwhelm.

If everyone’s content on calling me out
be rest assured that I’ve had my doubts.
At continuing this existence of stark betrayal
of societal norms set: coffin and nail.
Think this is what I want, you’re so dead wrong
count all of your blessings that I’ll be gone.
I’ll make quitting such a foreign word.
One day you’ll see it’s not so absurd.

It’s not far now pull through this hellscape of my own making will not shake me.
Convictions strong with perseverance towards a pure enlightenment.
