Inches away
From inching away into the day
Outside, where there's parlay
Where I can partake
Part ways, grab a parfait
In the car with a desire to carve a W into disappointment and heartache

Starting pay better increase,
'Fore I find a way to get imprisoned
Bail set at no release
Every now and then the peace will cease when fools OD on the E-G-O
Succumb to testosterone

You're not my bro
I hardly know ya
Character tends to reveal flaws as the story unfolds don't they?

I don't owe anyone shit
Except the government
Racking student funding for guns and clips
Cutting social funding to silence lips overseas
Private interests drone-striking enemies

Child-separating, mind of the cavemen
Casual glance at casualty rate
The causal hand pens documentation
Forging hatred
I can relate

Voted for assassination as a pacifist
As I pass one fist after the next to rhetoric
I won't spend one second of my time discussing what's irrelevant

It's irrelevant.

I been hearing bombs detonating deep inside my mind
I been hearing moms calling out crying
Trying to find their minds

I been screaming out loud in my sleep
Having nightmares of a world that's ceased to be
I been hearing bombs detonating

I tend to write in darkness
The heart stops and starts like a spark
Cause for alarm
I stay strong
Externally calm
Internal earthquake
Sanctuary is all I seek
Purgatory reaches for me
Storing love and hate in the same place creates a new compound
Can't quite find my way out of the mixture.

I been hearing bombs detonating deep inside my mind
I been hearing moms calling out crying
Trying to find their minds

I been screaming out loud in my sleep
Having nightmares of a world that's ceased to be
I been hearing bombs detonating
