They Wonder Why I'm Insane
Illogic Lyrics

Independent alchemist, optical despair
A person who actively seeks new, innovative solutions to problems, but is overwhelmed by the darkness and negativity they see in the world.

The fountain is spilling the blood of infants and it's not fair
Society is built on the suffering of the most vulnerable, and it's unjust.

Personal gain in flames, priority define footsteps
When we prioritize the well-being of others over ourselves, our selfish desires are no longer the driving force behind our actions.

World lost with purpose, engulfed in aimless progress
Despite all our advancements, humanity feels directionless and without meaning.

We've touched stars, but can't touch a child's hand
Our society values scientific and technological achievements over the basic needs and emotions of children.

Can't wait to reach Mars, but can't define where we stand
We are so focused on our future progress that we have lost sight of our present reality.

Each mask we build shields us from the truth
We put up barriers to hide ourselves from the painful reality of the world around us.

If elders can't face themselves, how can we ask the youth
If the previous generation is unable to confront their own mistakes and shortcomings, how can we expect the next generation to do any better?

With no absolutes we conform to the herd
Without any definite values or morals to guide us, we blindly follow the crowd and lose our individuality.

Anointed with our own chaos, so the outcome is deserved
We are responsible for the negative consequences of our own choices and actions, even if they lead to chaos and destruction.

We've equipped the enemy with the necessary tools
We have inadvertently helped our enemies by providing them with the resources and knowledge they need to cause harm.

With pickaxe in hand they stand as teachers in our schools
Those who wish to cause destruction and harm are often the ones who hold positions of power and authority over us.

Who designed this mindless assembly line living
Our lives are structured around meaningless, repetitive tasks that lead to no real personal growth or fulfillment.

To focus on what's received to polish what we're given
We are expected to hone our skills and abilities at the expense of our own personal desires and interests.

Watch where you're going, be sure to leave breadcrumbs
We must be careful and attentive as we navigate through the dangerous, dark forest of life.

You don't want to get out here and forget where you come from
It's important to stay grounded and connected to our roots, or we risk losing ourselves in the chaos of the world around us.

The forest is dark, warlocks are in power
There are dangerous and corrupt people in positions of authority, who wield their power for their own selfish agendas.

They'll destroy your country for touching one of their towers
Those in power will not hesitate to destroy entire nations and innocent lives for the slightest perceived threat to their own interests.

Scapegoats and patsies crucify defeat mobs
Those who are blamed for society's problems often suffer violent and unjust consequences, while the true issues remain unaddressed.

Economical anarchists who crucify jobs
Many economic and political systems prioritize profit and control over the well-being of individuals, leading to widespread unemployment and poverty.

Delusions of grandeur, overshadowed intangible
We often place too much importance on material wealth and status, while ignoring the intangible qualities that really matter.

Illusions of standards where artists are labeled vandals
Society often judges creative individuals harshly, viewing their work as disruptive or destructive rather than valuable.

I lit a candle to symbolize the yearn for logic
Trying to find meaning and reason in a world that often feels chaotic and nonsensical.

The remedy for lost identity is to remove the boxes
We must break away from societal norms and go beyond the limitations imposed by labels and categories if we want to discover our true identity.

We give it all to our country and keep nothing for ourselves
We sacrifice our personal needs and desires for the supposed good of our nation, and receive little in return.

They breath death to our villages and give life to someone else
Those in power prioritize their own interests over the well-being of the communities they are supposed to serve.

And this is the world that I have to raise kids in?
The current state of the world makes it difficult to imagine a hopeful future for the next generation.

I don't know where I'm going but I'm taking this train
Even if the future is uncertain, the journey forward must continue.

And maybe one day I'll tell you why I'm insane
The pain and suffering of the world has taken a toll on the artist, and they hope to one day be able to fully articulate their struggles.
