about
It's a fragile arrangement, we're gathered together under the premise that what we do matters at all,
when we are so small.
A minuscule fixture here in the big picture, an optic illusion that thrives on confusing the herd with images, words.
This piece is broken, its lost all its hope in our stories the promise of Glory. (X2)
The empty word speakers place bets from the bleachers, abusing the system, they've no chance of losing this game, cause' its all arranged.
It's hard to combat this when caught in the madness,
assuming you voted, you chose from decay on display
and lost either way.
This piece is broken, its lost all its hope in our stories the promise of Glory. (X2)
No,
We can't use what won't fit the mold.
Don't have an opinion, just do what you're told.(x8)
….what you're told, what you're told.
and my answer is "NO!"
So, see you later.
I'm good as gone.
I reject the option to plod blindly on.
I'm no machine piece.
Won't take my place in the great man race to the slaughterhouse gates.
You can fire your gun.
I don't care, I won't run anymore.
