Damocles Lyrics

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
