lyrics

Verse 1

No way to sustain the damage
of the brains that run the planet
The resulting famine questions understanding.
Some say it’s God’s plan,
Some say we have a hand in it
Some say it’s both,
But I’m in the boat of taking note that anything is possible
And doubt that any group of three hundred can be that knowledgable.
And people that believe in it can watch it fall apart
In front of whatever faith they claim,
Shameless contradiction grains of salt in their position,
using conspiracies as excuses to lay back and remain useless
To the point it’s self abusive,
Inclusive of no element that’s relevant,
Never could see the room for the elephant,
Delicate balances leave most of the world in malice,
But those who follow logic just think nothing and form a callus,
Always bring something to the table despite fluctuation,
Willing and able to adjust and remain stable.


Verse 2

Always willing and able, cut the strings and cables,
Independent from flesh in a suit
'Cause no matter how much power they got
Everybody slips at least one time.
And no matter how much flex they got,
They bend and break under pressure.
Take a fresh approach to taking measures.
Some people give too much credit instead of first second guessing Institutions make their contributions
Brainwash the stains,
Take away pleasure,
Absorb the pain,
no helmet,
Protection; objection to the infection,
Projections after asking congregations for collection,
Erection of social constructs take a life of their own,
Evolve and then just dissolve down to the bones.
Zoning and permits for information traffic through the media
We take surface impressions,
But don’t take them as lessons,

Refrain 1:

It manifests obsessions,
Breaks logical connections,
No bouncing off reflections
To see the real complexion.

Refrain 2:

Blood stains soaking through the bandage;
No way to alleviate the damage.
