Evolution

After many a discussion with a mental creationist of late... I've come to the simple conclusion, we really are in decline.

Today's song, "Evolution" by Korn plays on the opposite of evolution to the top but rather that we're slowly becoming far less that the basic beasts that we know. At the end of the day it would seem that the monkey that would rather pick a banana over a pile of paper (money) is a lot smarter. You can't really eat paper can you?

I'm happy to keep the basic beast inside avoiding the rest of everything else. I wonder if they'll ever look back and call us all deranged? To be honest, I really think they do. That would be because they finally get it... one can only hope.

I'm diggin' with my fingertips
I'm ripping at the ground I stand upon
I'm searching for fragile bones
Evolution

I'm never gonna be refined
Keep trying but I won't assimilate
Sure we have come far in time
watch the bow break

And I'm sorry that I don't believe
by the evidence that I see
That there's any hope left for me
It's evolution
Just evolution

And I, I do not dare deny
the basic beast inside
It's right here
It's controlling my mind
And why do I deserve to die
and I'm dominated by
This animal thats locked up inside

Close up to get a real good view
I'm betting that the species will survive
Hold tight, I'm getting inside you
Evolution
And when were gonna find these bones
They're gonna want to keep them in a jar
the number one virus caused by
Procreation

And the planet may go astray
in a million years they'll say
Those motherfuckers were all derranged
It's evolution
Just evolution

And I, I do not dare deny
the basic beast inside
It's right here
It's controlling my mind
And why do I deserve to die
I'm dominated by
This animal thats locked up inside

Take a look around
Nothing much has changed
Take a look around
Nothing much has changed
Take a look around
Take a look around
Take a look around
Nothing much has changed
Take a look around
Take a look around
Nothing much has changed
Take a look around
Take a look around
Nothing much has changed
Take a look around

I, I do not dare deny
the basic beast inside
It's right here
It's controlling my mind
And why do I deserve to die
I'm dominated by
This animal that's locked up inside

Why
Why do I deserve to die?

Personally I prefer to be dominated by this animal inside, it keeps me who I need to be.

Freak On a Leash

Ever feel like things don't add up? Ever feel like something's holding you back (whether you want it to or not)?

"Freak on a Leash" by Korn, featuring Amy Lee of Evanescence is an interesting adaptation of quite a heavy song. This was played live on an MTV unplugged session if I'm not mistaken.

Not all that we lose can be seen. More often than not it is the scars that we can't show that take the longest to heal and are by far the most ugly.

Something takes a part of me
Something lost and never seen
Everytime I start to believe
Something's raped and taken from me... from me

Life's gotta always be messing with me.(You wanna see the light?)

Can't they chill and let me be free? (So do I)
Can't I take away all this pain. (You wanna see the light?)
I try to every night
All in vain... in vain.

Sometimes I cannot take this place
Sometimes it's my life I can't taste
Sometimes I cannot feel my face
You'll never see me fall from grace

Something takes a part of me.
You and I were meant to be.
A cheap...for me to lay.
Something takes a part of me.

Feeling like a freak on a leash. (You wanna see the light ?)
Feeling like I have no release. (So do I...)
How many times have I felt diseased? (You wanna see the light ?)
Nothing in my life is free... is free.

Sometimes I cannot take this place.
Sometimes it's my life I can't taste.
Sometimes I cannot feel my face.
You'll never see me fall from grace.

Something takes a part of me.
You and I were meant to be.
A cheap...for me to lay.
Something takes a part of me.

ooooooo oooooooo (Go!)

Something takes a part of me.
You and I were meant to be.
A cheap fuck for me to lay.
Something takes a part of me.
Part of me
Part of me
Part of me

Think I'm always going to be a freak, the real issue is trying to break from that leash. Take back that which has been taken.
