Shook The Dust

from The Pale Horse by Michael Psycho

/

lyrics

Falling on
To the hole that lies below me
Falling on
To a pit that lines the bottom
Falling on
To the fate that soon awaits me

I think that everything is spiraling to crash
And it's just a matter of the time that only needs to pass
Once was an optimist now feel I'll soon be trash

And the gutter is the only thing that's certain on my path

You've got to know when it's time to shake the dust

I can't be shutting off my human tendencies
That's what the robots hate and motivate them to dispose of me
I don't want sympathy, just need a funeral plan

And the chance to be myself and be in essence while I can

The motivation that most others seem to use
Only gives me grief and sorrow and I simply must refuse
To be driven to a servitude humiliating me

And I know that social shunning is the only thing I'll see

They don't take kindly to when people take a stand
I expected them to turn their backs, as if they had it planned
I'll probably stand alone when I put up a fight

But we all must die alone - at least my reasons will be right
