9. Cultural Seppuku
Words and Music By: Jesse Lacharite
Album: Sycophantic Overtures

It's silent again
I can't hear the voices in my head
The incessant diatribe
Directed at me day and night
Shore yourself up
There's another storm sweeping in
What's the worse that can happen?
You'll just have to start all over again

The cold mockery
Follows along deep inside me
The questions of morality
Hard to see or is it me?
We believe in hope instead of despair
Drag it through the town
Behead it in the square
Where we stand and stare
Why should I care?
Hell is a real place
More frightening than you can ever know
Indoctrinate the children
Into a political war
The Greeks were wise
In the ways of tragedy
History reasserts itself
As we stumble blindly...

Why bother try?
It's just a waste of time
Sooner or later we all die
A speck of insignificance
In the grand design

Dark clouds are brewing
And the night is bruised
And its presence is ominous
I just want to make it out of here
with some trace of my self-conscious
Slaughtered again and again
To set down yet another path
The sun is setting
And I don't quite know where I am
The realization
That things are beyond my capabilities
Forces the schism in me
A copy of a memory
The drums of war
Are pounding in my head
Pushing me closer
To certain death...

SOLO

There's a golden circle
I can see it off in the distance
It offers peace and serenity
I keep walking towards it
But the distance grows
And I'm left to wondering
Why is something so simple?
Can be so far away...
What can I do, what can I say?
I hope one day
I'll have the answers that I seek
