It seems strange enough to me Inventing silly tragedies To blindly feed on As we plod on towards the grave Everyone gets crushed Beneath the most uncommon laws Opinions of the public Press in all around For you to take a stand Against batons inside of hands You best wield peace Because they call a spade a spade It listens to you sleep Knows where you go and what you eat The beast's alive and well It knows everything you do We hear pundits shout Veiled hatreds we can do without We disagree And then smolder on our couch We know just what to say And say it in just the right way Without really ever having said a thing Villains leave their calling card The heel was just in our front yard You shake your head And explain it all away The devil haunts our every step Feeding on weakness and neglect Passing through you Towards another soul to kill Take more than you need And cast your fortunes as you feed Light a candle In the temple of yourself To whom is what now due As time persists the present view To find herself alone Before the window of a void She then cries herself to sleep Amidst the masses of the meek To be possessed herself Undone among the slaves She lays me between her knees To coax the war from within me I'm at peace Between the heavings of her breasts What was once The Deal Has lost its glossy broad appeal It's to be heaped Upon the memories of the old If there had been words to say They have long since been swept away Replaced with pregnant silence Eating at our days Woes were here pronounced Intent to settle all accounts And find some lessons buried Deep within the pain Yet how quickly we forget We fade the source of our regrets And shake the sense of self We firstly came to seek
