Small town ignorance is buried deep within the skull
Generational behavior passed on from father to son
To daughter from mom

Weak willed sublimation of their identity
Stealing the unlimited possibilities
With beer, ***, and stupidity parading as the news

Rich people using the confusion to abuse
Factions united under bland statements of false unity
Corporate art dulled down to distract me
The facts you see aren’t reality
But society selling insanity

Vanity instead of depths
Sheep instead of blazing suns
This is where I came from
But I know they are more than that

Under that John Deer cap
Is a potential surpassing their current fashion
Worse than a scarlet letter
Yes passion perceived the secrets we see
Cut close to the essence of our being
Humanity enlightened not frightened
By our blazing dreams

I can see what is and what might be
And though the now and past pain me deeply
That possibility for a better future sustains
What remains of my waning sanity
