lyrics

I breathe deep to bring myself into alignment
The day’s burdens on the tally
Of my inner being

Composure draped over me like a veil
Unstable, taken to disturbance
By the slightest breeze

Unnatural pressures testing boundaries
Of our primal structures

The contract to keep the peace
Is mandatory
In the face of baser needs
The warrior falters

And over time, social conditions worsen
Foundations crumbling underfoot incrementally

Then to resolve private yet shared despair
We turn to vices, entertainment, vile philosophies

Power: the Gods bought and sold the ground you’re standing on
You’re just a puppet in a game of capital accumulation

Unnatural pressures testing boundaries
Of our primal structures

The desire to lose control
Is ever-present
Giving rise to violent thoughts
The warrior falters

Day after day we the walk the lines our fathers towed
Chasing the buck, pushing down the pain
But if we look our suffering right in the face
We might bring ourselves to find another way

We breathe deep to bring the world into alignment
Our lives’ burdens on the tally
Of this whole species

Reinforced, anchored deep, now immovable
A mental foothold representing
Hallowed victory
