I jump the neural path
I bring the lantern further
Into the cave you made, for yourself
And your human mistakes
I tread the oceans vast
I break the chains you gave me
I am the exposed lie
I'm the fall that comes after the high
So, take me
And use me
I'll free you
Just let me
Cognitive dissonance, love, can't be ignored
It's selling your conscience, whore for the world
You can run away from it as I too have tried
But it all catches up, so you give it some time
Cognitive dissonance, love, soul that's for sale
The needle you take and the drugs you inhale
A primitive fix for the wars that we wage
Against all we know and the lives that we take
You've held the bloody knife
You've burned the missing pages
You've wept beside the corpse
Of the victim whose heart that you tore
You rape immortal truth
You blame it all on others
You'd never sleep again
If your lies weren't your remaining friends
So, take me
And use me
Or I'll be
Your ending

And in everything I know
And in the pain I won't show
I'll find the right deception
Indiscretion, mental suicide
Cognitive dissonance, love, can't be ignored

Cognitive dissonance, love, soul that's for sale
The needle you take and the drugs you inhale
A primitive fix for the wars that we wage
Against all we know and the lives that we take
Cognitive dissonance, we no longer ignore
All the lies that we tell, entertain them no more
And define every sin we've committed in life
Else we perpetuate all the anger and strife
Repurpose the dark criminal deep in my soul
Be the mirror I look into before I can fall
And forgive me at last for the truth left unsaid
'Cause I'm promising you, I forgive you in death
After all this, I forgive you in death
Rewriting this to correct dissonance
