I grew up in a time when machines were prevalent
And souls were desolate
When everyone practiced telepathy
Because technology mimicked metaphysically
I grew up in a time when hell descended over my eyes
And I was aware but did not realize
That my creation was designed
For me to ascend the illusory world of my mind
I grew up in a time when everyone listened to electrical boxes
But never listened to knowledge that the Self concocted
When the world was a circus of distractions
And demons fed off the fear of emotional reactions
I grew up in a time when sexual promiscuity was practiced
And encouraged to prevent a revolution of the masses
When the Rebellious Ones strived
To break the psychological chains inside
I grew up in a time when everyone's religion was escapism
Through drugs, alcohol, and entertainment
But never to escape prison
When the most strategic weapons were silent
And the greatest war was internal violence
I grew up in a time when Mother Supernatural
Ignited the planet with her solar flares, tactical
For the purpose of detoxifying
Because inhuman beings raped her
And left her alone crying
I grew up in this time with you
Alienation plagued my pursuit
Towards enlightenment
Or maybe schizophrenia
Because I lost touch with this reality
Immune to mass hysteria
