Frantic, attending in shifts, pay their disrespects
Kin and sibling, attention in tow, an exhausted soul
Gone, but only on the inside
Victims of a meaningless existence
With 2 feet in, you've chosen sides
A catastrophe of its own design
Scattered pixilated thoughts dotting mental terrain
It's not honest
A captive, assembly sits, practice discipline
Comrade to coward, apprenticeship failed, shades of greatness pale
Drawn, to thoughts of something greater
Paranoid delusional behaviour
The captain’s orders were loud and clear
"You don't gotta go home, but get the hell outta here"
Patterned degenerative faults whose relevance has come and gone
Just be honest
Pretend to understand
You fucking hypocrite
I'd rather think for myself
