lyrics

Don’t think that it’s malicious/ they’re just so superstitious
But I’m suspicious if/ you tell me that you’re religious
Not trying to be derisive/ but how’s your mental fitness
I wonder if it’s okay/ if you witness/ the fictitious
‘Cause this ain’t breaking mirrors/ or cats crossing your path
If it was that silly/ I’d write it off and just laugh
But the stakes are higher/ and the suffering’s real
So much pain caused/ all from something you feel
But you can’t understand/ you say mysterious ways
I’m serious/ you’re giving the deleterious praise
Oh you don’t see the harm/ then maybe check your vision
‘Cause faith can blind you from making some better decisions
I don’t have to cross my fingers/ this isn’t a lie
If it doesn’t make sense/ you can just toss it aside
Good luck won’t stop the bad/ and bad won’t stop the good
I wonder if the crucified/ ever knocked on wood

(When you believe in things
That you don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way)

The basic stuff’s negated/ but those they complicated
Are concentrated/ conflated/ and then consecrated
The indoctrinated/ act like they’re intoxicated
Ideas get propagated/ but never corroborated
So wish upon a star/ it won’t make a difference
It’s not a system of ignorance/ promising deliverance
Like primitive/ prohibitive/ unobserved truths
Derivative or more diminutive/ world views
Your ancient books insisting/ it’s beyond comprehension
They want submission/ contrition/ I’m in opposition
To put it pure and simple/ it gets real consequential
If it prevents you from recognizing/ your full potential
Not always you that suffers/ but it’s society
‘Cause piety/ often leads to impropriety
Malign designs of the mind/ can put fear in you
To be scared of living free/ ain’t what we’re here to do

(When you believe in things
That you don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way)

about

Ensomniak Cincinnati, Ohio

I'm a writer... a lyricist... I make hiphop music (although I can write for multiple genres)... This page is for my secular/atheist/rational music. I have some other work which due to the style, subject matter and language usage, would probably be categorized as nerdcore... If you are interested in hearing that, check out nyte.bandcamp.com. I make music for people who are willing to think. ... more

Grey, you're music is my medicine, along with the reefer. Coming from a broken home, where i grew up with no mother, and an abusive father, and sisters who ended up in the system. knowing I'm not alone in the journey to find inner peace, your music keeps me pushing. especially this album. :\\Trippy Longstalkings

Big fan of artists challenging religion. "Just another internet tough guy, hiding behind the keyboard watching the dust fly off of the Bible he hasn't read in ages. Taking shots at Muslims, Atheists & Pagans." as one of many succinct lyrical examples of creative prowess. icarusignite
