Chain and Ball

from The Anchor by Z the Stranger

/

about

I'm losing my grip of what reality is.
A hunter experiences passion for nothing but it's prey.
I relinquish the proper function of my amygdala.
The primal instinct is one that is destructive to all but it's own self.
An unleashed animal fears nothing but it's previous captivity.
My potential would only be confined by an anchor.

lyrics

You better keep me locked up.
I’m an animal. Be cautious.
Better contain me so I can’t move
With a chain and ball around my ankles.

Jingle jangle.
I can’t contain the anger
So I decided to drop the mentality of a stranger,
Adopt the ways of a strangler.
Better keep me away from anyone
Who doesn’t know how dangerous it is to play with this.
Welcome to real life
Where only those who don’t feel survive.
Keep in mind that the mirror lies.
Human beings can’t be divine.
We’re nothing but a theatre for the eager eyes
Of the hungry people who’ve accepted the beast’s desires
We resign for peace of mind.

You better keep me locked up.
I’m an animal. Be cautious.
Better contain me so I can’t move
With a chain and ball around my ankles.

Never has any word that’s been said to me made sense to me
Since everything ahead of me has been for me to shred with ease.
It provides me with immediate relief to be
So hedonistic, a demon would fear to be seated near me.
I clearly hear my vices talking.
Years of their enticing brought me here.
I programmed myself to believe that day’s aren’t nice for walking.
Only in the nights I’m off.
Thinking that my psyche’s strong enough
To keep my body warm.
I freeze when I’m most likely wrong.
Fuck it! I can’t be restrained.
I’m already completely caged
By clouds around my rationality.
No one can keep me sane.
No need for me to be saved.
I’m already in this free state.
You need to keep your distance. Please be safe
If you’re not related
To any of the reasons I’m freaking. It’s tough to relay.
Around the world, I see pain in each place I see faces.
Better to be the cause of it than stay quiet and be afraid.
Nothing can hurt me now ‘cause I know that hate can’t see hate!

You gave me good advice.
Do. Don’t think.

Do. Don’t think.

Allow for all to breathe air as clean as Eden. I will drown in the River Styx and keep the planet eternal, along with all the love in it. Your own beauty is yours and no one else's. I will inject the earth with the divine milk of a ghost's breast and the living will never go thirsty. I still remain a stranger to everyone. ... more
