The feeding The violence has begun tearing & ripping away at our flesh. carnivorous piece, after piece … blood upon their lips The horror & muffled insatiable cries, the screaming hunger & thirst carried off/ taken away & gorged At first recognizable then indistinguishable Scattered remains & the smell of Rot begins Our Elder dies.

I wonder if they have a plan for me, I bet they thought I'd make big change Instead of spending my time dancing in the rain. They probably had a career in mind With a golden etched name plate Let me write their map and see If I have the steps straight. Go to school and get good grades To pay a lot to school some more To jump out into a world they didn't prepare me for. Nobody wants my degree, the market's flooding. It's not about what I know, who I know is no one. Remember you're doing this for the money, You're doing this for the security And they're ready to own you for it. It's like seeing a sign that says chips for shots I'd rather hold my pride than give in to a drop I'd help break the bar for that kind of dealing It just shows how quick heroes turn to villains Depending the eyes you see through In the distance of all of that chaos There's a voice in the back of my head yelling, "Just be you"
