No Trigger Domesticated Lyrics

standing with bare backs against structures built
strongly of good faith, add lies. subtract some
care. obligation becomes optional and they
collapse. Its all that we thought and there's
nothing here. stand up and listen to the sounds:
the bullets scream the children drop in silence
face-first to the ground. there's no one to care,
no one to see an end. jet planes explode midair
and our dreams fill the cabin. not fast enough to
adapt to all the changes, still not strong enough
to accept the status quo. the salted knife is
inside turning slow, but this is all that we know.
cut a branch off my family tree, it made sense to
me, until now. soon we'll try, because it's worth
a try, and then we'll take what was ours to begin
with. right now it's hard to breathe but we'll
survive. forget the third world, forget disease,
reveal scars, stab me with a scimitar. look around
normal faces hide worse problems in our backyard.
don't hide the scars, stand up and listen to the
sounds. bullets screaming, children dropping, no
one watching as they nail the ground.
