lyrics

If anger is just sad’s bodyguards, then I’m walking with an entourage. ‘Cause these yellow caution flags only turn to red when the blood’s been shed. And my tongue is this concealed weapon, and I’ve already started shooting these syllables into your chest. Like hollow tips through a bulletproof vest. But these words are far from hollow, they’re more like fractal with undetermined depth.

And if intimidation is just inspiration with no footing, then stop trying to walk miles in someone else’s shoes. And if life’s a bitch, then you’re just waiting for her bitch slap. These words, like muscles, getting under your skin giving you form and this movement.

And if our past is only vapors in the wind let out by our own gasps, let us gasp and grasp for now. For if yesterday is history, and tomorrow’s a mystery, let us unwrap this gift, the present, and be present. Sometimes losing the illusion is so much better than finding new truths.

So if these phrases form nooses, you’re hanging from every word. Soon you’ll be thrown to the wolves, but I can see you’ll return leading the pack. You won’t have to eat the scapegoat nor drink the blood of a sacrificial lamb. You’re so brave and quiet, I forget you’re suffering. We’re suffering. But, know too much food for thought can cause infobesity. We’re not ready to digest yet. No, we’re not ready to die just yet.

‘Cause we all need friends and not just fables, we all need status quo and not turned tables, and I can see that I’m perfectly able.. I’ve just been attached here to this short cable.. my spinal cord.
