lyrics

I see the recommended dabblings
from disabled hands veteran stands
conglomerates loosing grip to age
old time merits run like ferrets
end up clear the way disappear but return
the drums are twisted and I swear
there's no escape for the enlisted
it's in everything
when everything's in its infancy
we're on trial there we learn to judge
I fear the tears in expectation turn to a grudge
soon to follow
hollow
the echoes are timed
my process is saturated with evacuated
bust the move fellas
on declaration day as they held us
planning
relish in old sentiment
snowy charm dermatologist
don't disinfect the abrasion
we must dissent
there's too much in hand for one dictator
wrath of indignation
and the last one to listen should be the f irst
naked in a new land leaves you well versed
I'm cursed with contents rehearsed
I'm cursed with contents rehearsed
I dip my neck tie in mud and wear it with pride
to the funeral above below I reside
a student of the blueprint
using ink to rewrite with additional content
many names to remember
the faces stay longer
and when they disappear
I know I've grown older
I'd love to see your smile once more
but my ticket's been bought
and I'm off to war
duties a chore I can see that again
behind stacks is a means to an end
a budding aggression aggravated
chin up
back to the board
a minute ago I couldn't care less
new stress
my whole out
then the opposite
now I don't know where I stand
this had to be planned
cause it makes for such worry
heart beating life eating allegory
pinned to my pen just waiting to be stroked
stricken
then I strike back like an old hack
do the damn thing I'm back
chanting
still romancing old dreams
I can't really react to scenes
but I trace my steps clean
like a machine
