start a conversation finish it with a scream 
i know all the answers but what do the questions glean? 
not afraid of fiction just the already known 
unlock the future truths from the gilded tones 

reverse the compass to get where we came from 
soothsayers almanac predicts a growing disdain 

insanity breeds discourse conversations cut short 
by the ramblings of dilettantes too late to abort 
locked in a rut unable to be swayed 
been in the storm too long lord let me pray 

born again free from sin 
let the suffering begin 

i crossed you out 
i wrote you out 
i toyed you out 
i punked you out
