Damocles

As we are bombarded by stimulus from the environment around us our senses numb

To the sound of war drums and the warning signs of what's to come down on us

We're already dead, already dust

In God we trust, take care if us

Or something like that

When a warhead splits into 55 pieces we all get hit

Like oh shit

My skin just melted and dripped

So did my outfit, and I just washed it

But I couldn't stop it

Everybody fights with each other all day

Narrow-minded, short-sighted, motherfuckers gonna pay

Went to run for cover til my cover got blown away

Now I'm standing in the driveway

I see my mom 50 yards in the distance

Covered in blisters

She was calling her sister and the line went dead

My dad was already in bed cause he had to get up and work to keep the family fed

Last thing I saw was like a flash bulb

The impact left an outline of my body on the wall

And you're fighting over a parking spot at the mall

And you spent the last five years in that cubicle

And you're so confused by life you're addicted to food

Because it soothes you for the time being

These are the times we live in

Watcha gonna do about it

Everyone is partially brainwashed

And a clean mind is easy to watch

Right now I'm caked in mud and my mental's sweaty in the crotch

And I'm hard to stop

How can we communicate with other cultures

When we feed on each other like vultures?

Slaves to impulses

Nobody deals with consequences

And we all got fences, apprehensive

And lawyers are on the offensive

Gotta put their two cents in

And come out with a Benjamin

Wanna say fuck the system

But it's hard to stop

I remember the day when my bright eyes faded away

The pain fades as I fade away l
