Clarity

Without a word uttered
A comparison is drawn
A distant future, a cluttered past
Amid the stars
Vague yet persistent
Thought lacking consistency
Unwilling victim of farce
The loudest voices scream uninspired
Their numbers vast, their spirits strong
Quiet choices sing against the choir
The majority is almost never wrong
Never wrong, ever, never wrong

A laughable assertion that
There might be some connection
(Smoke-filled halls)
Adorn the walls with mirrors and misdirection
Or let it go

No common thread
No ties that bind
Just grasping at threads
And keep in mind
Historical analysis
They play a separate role
But one contributes more to the whole

Like a saucer sep let's separate
Let's separate
And shuffle off this conflict
My armament will suffocate, will suffocate
And leave you feeling useless

We are your beginning
And we will be your end
Affluence permitting
A mutual annihilation

A laughable assertion that
There might be some connection
(Smoke-filled halls)
Adorn the walls with mirrors and misdirection
Or let it go

Discussion moot
Argument ended
An aggressive mute
Stumbling defendant
Fiction versus fantasy
One fact remains unclear
How you pretend both franchises
Stand solely on one tier

We are your beginning
And we will be your end
Affluence permitting
A mutual annihilation

I don't care who shot first
Or for the song and dance you've rehearsed
A mutual annihilation
I don't care who shot first
Or for the song and dance that you've rehearsed
The maps are divided
And each are traversed
Alignment in flux
For better or worse
Is the drain finally swirling
Or are we swirling the drain?
This drought is relieved with acid rain

This drought is relieved with acid rain

(We are) we are your beginning (your beginning)
And we will be your end (we will be your end)
Affluence permitting a mutual annihilation
