Migrate everyday
To hunt and provide in town
Hibernate in burbs

Twelve apartments each
Vibrant community there
All boarded up now

Your crowning achievement
Will be a huge failure
Another blemish you refuse to accept
Don’t acknowledge as your own

Instead, it will fuel your own anger
Which is how you make decisions
You have a gut reaction that feels right
Don’t act like you thought this through

You say the words shouldn’t matter
Because they can’t matter to you
Words are articulations of thought and they
Don’t have any place in your world

But your world is shrinking
You feel the successes around you
And see the impotency of your abilities because you
Don’t have the words to create plans

Don’t have the words to describe your pain
Don’t have the words to understand others

Don’t have a future

That, you will have to acknowledge

Some road ends in a cul-de-sac
Earth tone homes guard against attack
All made of brick with same yard ****
Parents inside, kids out joy ride

The scene is the same in each one
Difference here means you are done
Being the same, except you name
Is the main goal, sense of control

And that control keeps slipping
These people that keep drifting
Away from truth, toward vermouth
Numbing their pain, fight to be same

The pressure to perform wears
Community slowly tears
Some get real mad, others just beat, sad
Look outside and, see change at hand

“That is what did it” they shout
“We know what we are about”
Being the same, except the name
Was the main goal,

and what caused the loss of control

I understand why you are angry
Or...no that is the fact that hurts me
I think I get what is wrong with the we
I can't see, or don't see, or won't see

What is wrong with you
But is it you?

Who should be the focus of folks, us
When we think us, we get serious
Question all we see as dangerous
The Answers create metamorphous

Fighting changes
Exacerbates rages

Because we are angry too, like you
Well not the we that includes, us two
The we that includes me, cause I see,
Or no this is the fact that hurts...all

We can't see, or don't see, or won't
See us
