lyrics

i cannot compete with the position you represent
no suitable weapon equals the strength of my resentment
in the hordes of hatred, i seek solidarity
i was raised to love mankind, and cannot reconcile the disparity

now i’m having a monumental writer’s block of ire
i’m online and fair-on-high while 451 pages are on fire
committing this moment to ink and sheet within this book
and i stand on my own two feet, here, have a look

oh biting at the bit ‘til you bleed
grinding at the gums with anxiety
violence only begets violence
and this is the inherent human need, apathy

it doesn’t matter that i have two feet and ten toes
two hands and ten fingers just like you
your father told you to stay away from lobos
and i’m the worst kind of wolf, it’s true

i’m on a soapbox built of shit
clean yet dirty in the mouth and mind
if i can’t win you back now, this is it
my last testament to the need of humankind

oh biting at the bit ‘til you bleed
grinding at the gums with anxiety
love will breed love
and this is the inherent human need,
understanding and empathy.
