Analysis of Carrot



Lose your freedom
Obey your orders
Live under a god
Who does not love you

Things I shouldn't do
That you say I really should
Do evil
To see the good

Wrestle angels
Making you responsible
For nothing
Until you die from it

"No more pain" she said
And god listened
But I'm not sure what he did

The madness
When you feel you must
Something you know you should not
Because you cannot choose
Over what the god chooses for you

You are so obsessed
With making things
More what
They already are

I think You might
Forget what it is
To be weird

His rule is "We are not real"
A king that is invisible
The tyranny of a lord
Who will not answer to a name anymore

Endless want, endless hope
Reach for the carrot
He took away a long time ago

The butterfly bats its wings
1,000,000 people are killed
You are not listening to me
I am not in control of my behaviour

Trying to get centered in a world
That you can't

Obsessed to worsen a pain
Until it doesn't hurt anymore

The only comfort
Inside a lie

Everything
Will be ok

Dare I say it
You were unfair

Kayla will kill herself tomorrow
Doctor's orders

Hurt me I like pain
Cry together
Ecstacy

You learned to be selfish
Because you knew too well
The robbery of giving
Your selflessness evaporated into nothing

And left only selfishness
And hate and sorrow and rage
Because you learned too hard
That you must care for yourself
The lesson of greed

I teach you to sin so you can eat

Despair
It's how you win something
From him

Enslave the light
I never forgive
And I never forget
I am not real and you are a liar

So do your magic
And shout at a sky
With a god who is not listening

And wave your hands
Illegally
Like a maniac until they tie them up

And lose and lose and lose
And never ever win
And die alone
And with nothing

I don't know what else there is

When you see your own monster
You scream

Take my hands
I give them back

For all I want
It harms

And make hate
And overwork the horse
I see it in my dreams

Cities filled
With the broken woman
Who cannot believe she could ever be treated
This badly

I have nothing but demons
And no angels left
Or the angels
Really were demons
The whole time

I am dead

The Should Is
Believe In It
