Legion
I’m knocking on doors in pursuit of human machinery to start an army
Ataraxic motherfuckers presided over by a freedom from anxiety or worry
Resistant to the anaphylactic shock caused by the knock of revolution
And the aversion of most to finding a solution
These soldiers stand strong in the face of the pollution of society’s illusion;
Hypovolemia through the arteries of historical madness and not learning from our mistakes
Taking breaks only results in society’s tumbling down the same broken path
How we see the numbers yet fail to put together the math
One plus one equals somewhere after zero but before three
This is the kind of nonsense government would have us believe;
Deceived, we’ve lived in a world blemished by endemic septicemia
Put only to an end by my decision to raise an army dedicated to quelling hysteria
Red, orange, yellow alerts enrage me with their rainbow
In the way that the Christian right hates homosexuality when
Contextually, textually, and historically the church has often actually been doing something wrong
From stealing tithes to abusing little boys
And my army refuses to stand for this hypocrisy
Reality is actuality wrapped in bullshit
And no longer will we tolerate it
Like I said before, and army of Ataraxic motherfuckers
Ataraxic as in without fear or anxiety,
And we’ll march through the capital cities physically,
To shake mentality from its repose
My army stands seven feet tall
When you count their aura
Or when they’re walking on their toes
Rose petals greet us in every major location as we arrive to screams of grotesque adulation
For we come to bring liberation
I say I’m knocking on doors in pursuit of the truth
I’m knocking on doors to get a hold of the youth and unaffiliated political aloof
The revolution is touchy feely and sticks like peanut butter to the roof of your mouth
Foraging for harmony
And in time this army will push democracy into the sea
For this eventuality some may bleed;
But for our best hope falters to chaotic entropy we must not concede
Cutting the devil out of our hearts like the devil it is
And replacing it with the resplendence that is newness
Revolution gives rise to such a commencement
Elect to denounce it fail minded individuals get wrecked by dejected unhopefuls
Conspiring against the youth I break individuals begotten by lost factuality
I’m knocking on doors searching for incredulity
Join my army
Or be destroyed by our unity
My name is legion, for we are many
