Flipside

You do some of your best work in denial

Convince yourself, convince yourself

That Evil is real, punishable by death

That doing right by harm proves it

Staying afloat seals it

Violence and force aren’t just another part
Flipside to the planet, nature, universe, us

Convince yourself, convince yourself

That one of your extremes is the bad side

When it’s just another piece

Manipulation that is almost lie

Heap abuse on others and you

When control slips what can you make them do

Convince yourself, convince yourself

That the dead were murdered

And the killer must pay

That selfishness is a fatal flaw

That to reveal what you are is at best a deal killer

That crazy is a reason rather than a life

Convince yourself, to hide your flipside

From you, from me, friends, not foes

Hit the next level of crazy and run/hide

Wake up decades earlier a week later

Don’t get played, all the while playing

Convince yourself, what’s in your blood

You put there, maybe you did or maybe not

Maybe it’s just the cards since the world is harsh

Torture yourself on the rack of judgment

When you do what you do

Neither you is right, nor is he wrong

There has never been just one

We are all cut in two
