Weaponized empathy Kindness is determined by the bartender; her majesty Martyrdom is greedy with an all-consuming need And bones can bend a lot more further than it seems Citing from the field guide set aside for false-flag victimhood Tragedy is perfect bait for unsuspecting fishing hooks Spreading for an open mouth Rattler-bit; a seething pout Whining from a kennel cage Voices permanently raised, it's pitiful Voices permanently raid Peace is a foolish notion And even in the dark of night The constant din, it burns itself a hole As a sun Take a breath, and then pull back your hand I've never been so ready For the shade of an absence A quiet, releasing Take a breath, and then pull back your hand I've never been so ready For the stark dark of an eclipse to finally find me Peace Take a breath, and then pull back your hand I've never been so ready For the stark dark of an eclipse to finally find me Take a breath and then pull back your hand I've never been so ready For the shade of an absence A quiet, releasing Take a breath and then pull back your hand I've never been so ready For the shade of an absence A quiet, releasing Make a list and burn this whole damn town Down to its ashes, ashes Steal a car, steal a heart, just get away
