The Lesson

Living in disturbing times
Walking on trip mines
Insurance won't cover that
Pretend like you don't mind
I'm wondering what becomes of me
If I misstep
(I'm already dead, I just don't know it yet)
When we all look back on this
Hell-scape apocalypse
And we start to laugh
All our kids will gasp
But perhaps the past
Can stay the past
The lesson learned
But will the lesson last?

All my life I've been stricken with strife
I learned to divide in insidious times
I seized on the science like the flies in your eyes
And inspired all the people to decapitalize
While I spent my time pretending I was blind
Spitting out wine, making dollar signs
Just to justify how I can fortify
Myself away from all the pain of this place

Sitting at home where the clock is ticking
I shouldn't be alone when feeling so sickly
I'm leaving a note hoping someone will miss me
And if you're wondering why it's because my life is so empty
When I was in high school I made a commitment
To put aside my ego in the name of employment
Now a white picket fence protects my investments
I should've lived a good life fuck this resentment!
...
Fuck this resentment!
...
Was the lesson learned?
And will the lesson last?

In disturbing times, with the trip mines
And I'm wondering
What did I just see?
Was it Tyranny?
Seems a tragedy
That our relapse
Has to circle back

In disturbing times, with the trip mines
And I'm wondering
What did I just see?
Was it Tyranny?
Seems a tragedy
That our relapse
Has to circle back
