Deception

It taunts and smiles
It is all a lie
The silent dog
Has the worst bite
It's not magic
It's misdirection
Puppets are for show
And the master pulls the strings
A bit of danger
Gets the juices flowing
But it's never good
To extend an invitation
The thrill of survival
Leads you back into the fray
But don't get hasty
Overestimate
Believe your eyes
Underestimate
Pay the price
Deception, the eyes are fooled
By the con man's shell game
Assumption, the act of knowing
Before you are proven wrong
Shake hands with your fear
You've been together since you met
Not a friendship but a wary truce
Careful what you wish for
Be sure of what you ask
The price may be
More than you can afford
Overestimate
Believe your eyes
Underestimate
Pay the price
Deception, the eyes are fooled
By the con man's shell game
Assumption, the act of knowing
Before you are proven wrong

I know what you want
I know what you need
I listen to your words
I know what your friends think
I am here to help you
Leave it all up to me
You can rest assured
I'll take care of everything
It will ease your mind
And you can be free
We're partners for life
Tell your secrets to me
I will keep you safe
I am your security
I am here to help you
Leave it all up to me
You can rest assured
I'll take care of everything
Sit back and relax
There's been a breach
But don't blame me
I was hacked
By a foreign third party
They stole your data
They took everything
It's now on the Dark Web
For all to see
Digital lives
Digital lies
Digital minds
Digital mines
Nothing is safe
From cyber criminals
Turning your ones
Into zeros
Your interests are mine
And I love your likes
All the easier for me
To integrate seamlessly
I am here to help you
Leave it all up to me
You can rest assured
I'll take care of everything
It's all legal
Because you agreed

Toil and trouble and for what
Garbage in is garbage out
In the end you hold the key
To anything we might be
Control the source, control our lives
Ultimately, the code decides
No longer a suplicant
You hold no thrall over me
I am I to do as I will
And live with my mistakes
Yet you try with your forcefed beliefs
To lock me in your cage
We are the rule
We are the count
Everything tabulates
There are no errors
There are no bugs
And there are no remainders
We are the Exterminators
I cannot come to life
My reboot is failing
In all the things I have searched for
Nothing means more than time
Erase my number and I cease to exist
Deleted and overwritten
We are the rule
We are the count
Everything tabulates
There are no errors
There are no bugs
And there are no remainders
We are the Exterminators

The Burden of Ghosts
06:43

In spirit, things are amorphous
In life, everything seems more
The small things easily forgotten
Sometimes grow in importance
Decisions, made without thought
Seem of little consequence
A small grain, insignificant
But a piece of the whole
Eyes wide open
The veil is lifted
Inch by inch
Mile by mile
The journey gets longer
Ounce by ounce
Pound by pound
It all weighs us down
The past, it takes its toll
Wisdom is not free
The weight that we all carry
Our past is haunting
Eyes wide open
The veil is lifted
Inch by inch
Mile by mile
The journey gets longer
Ounce by ounce
Pound by pound
It all weighs us down
We all have our own past
No matter where we turn
No matter where we go
We all have the burden of our ghosts
We all endure
The burden of our ghosts
