Veni Vidi Vino (I Came I Saw I Drank)
We've locked away, huddled safe, mummified
Apparently too well preserved the words and the thoughts that were meant all along in exchange for a song
A beat to keep marching us on
A hook so deeply sunk in our heads
A chorus so canonical
Attempts to stray from the melody find us just returning to the fold
The rhyme scheme of history is so predictable and yet we just bob our heads to it
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth is not unspoken truth
But what we've resigned ourselves to in lieu of a solution that would require higher pursuits
This rhythm maintains times replete with defeat (repeat!)
Combined with phase inversed reporting that cows urgency
We find ourselves mouthing the words but seldomly are words of substance spoken
It's conversation suicide
A pill we all ought often swallow
But preference is paid to keeping it inside
In these days we do not have to be for it to support it
We vote every day in all that we say, in all that we do
So my hope for you is to find a way to stay true
Because it's on you
That's the truth
Apparently too well preserved the words and the thoughts that were meant all along in exchange for a song
A beat to keep marching us on
A hook so deeply sunk in our heads
A chorus so canonical
Attempts to stray from the melody find us just returning to the fold

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth is not unspoken truth
But what we've resigned ourselves to in lieu of a solution that would require higher pursuits
This rhythm maintains times replete with defeat (repeat!)
Combined with phase inversed reporting that cows urgency
We find ourselves mouthing the words but seldomly are words of substance spoken

We vote every day in all that we say, in all that we do
So my hope for you is to find a way to stay true
Because it's on you
That's the truth
