Narrow steps along this path That few travail and less will pass Connecting dots that few can understand From separate corners we evolved Simpatico and problems solved Sharing common ground to make our stand Unhinged at birth a common past Determined to never go back Bonded by blood never need say a word The more time spent the more absurd Friends and family lines are blurred Ties that bind, two of a kind deserved Provocation - place and time Agitation of like mind Happenstance and goals aligned Circumstance the ties that bind In the end heredity decides Who dies Comfort in an awkward pose Sharing views that most oppose Knowing us as no one else can know Snaggletooth and rattleheads Banging heads until they bled Raging sounds intent to wake the dead Provocation - place and time Agitation of like mind Happenstance and goals aligned Circumstance the ties that bind In the end fate will decide Who dies Those left Can just say goodbye Goodbye Can just say goodbye In disbelief we’re at the end A broken heart has settled in A fraying nerve content to never mend Rainbows rise but slowly die Now we’re all left to wonder why So many goddamn tears still left to cry Provocation - place and time Agitation of like mind Happenstance and goals aligned Circumstance the ties that bind Provocation - place and time Agitation of like mind Happenstance and goals aligned Circumstance the ties that bind

This is the cat that… The dog that bit the… The man all tattered and torn This is the stick that… The fire that burnt the… Rome is razed always reborn This is the Ox that... The rat that infests the… No water to quench our thirst This is the dog that… The priest and the maiden The angel of death This is the snake that… The wolves circling back Society tattered and torn This is the mob that… Tornado twisting fast End of days Relative cause and effect How far can we stick out our necks A moment to pause and reflect It’s never as bad as it gets This is the scourge that... A plague that’s spreading fast Our spending can’t calm our nerves This is a flood that… Penance for all sins past... Obsession to take This is a nightmare Insomnia as prayer We’re dreaming we’re never awake This is a typhoon Abundance that ends soon A bloodletting long overdue Relative cause and effect How far can we stick out our necks A moment to pause and reflect It’s never as bad as it gets The house that Jack built Is teetering on stilts The house that Jack built Dominion, then conquer, then guilt The dreams we had are all coming true We planted seeds and all of them grew We leveled everything in our view And slaughtered everyone that we knew The house that Jack built Is teetering on stilts The house that Jack built Dominion, then conquer, then guilt The house that Jack built We’re teetering on stilts The house that Jack built Dominion, then conquer, then guilt

Wanna be a number wanna be a name Wanna roll around in dirt with still a glimpse at fame Middle class dreams of complacency Living lukewarm it’s not the life for me Trapped behind a curtain that I didn’t choose Land of competition even winners lose Mommy’s little monster and Mickey Mouse Suburban tract home and a pregnant spouse Inside... Broken castle walls And I'm... infected by it all But I... Won’t end where I began Cause where I am’s not the place to be And this OC life’s not the life for me All suburban homes and the GOP - not me... D.D.T. Packed my bags and now it’s time to go And get as far away as my dreams can grow I’ll say goodbye but I won’t look back And I’ll miss you all but my facts are facts I’m chasing time and I can’t keep up Circumstance still half empty cup Running from as much as I’m running to Though with your past, it’s not through with you Outside... Broken castle walls I’m still... Addicted it all now I... Won’t end where I began Cause where I am’s still not the place to be And that OC life’s not the life for me All suburban homes and the GOP - not me... D.D.T. OC life’s not the life for me Gotta get away from that hypocrisy Time to find a new academy And I’m reeling!!! DDT to the land of the free Infect the world and whatever’s left to be Time to find a new academy And I’m screaming!!!
