Something Else

In the confrontation zone

There's no turning back now

Your whispers are yells

And your yells strike the bone

Words are like bullets if you

Let them hit

But if you have a clip to shoot

I've got one too

Operation sympathize

Has now been removed

Not that it was ever used

Attack seemed like the better surprise

Now the dogs run wild

Turn to wolves to hunt

No fright in their eyes now

Growls replace those who once smiled

And once of light

This city

Has turned to dark

And it's not even night

The children learn

At a very young age

To fight and not care

No need for concern

The bald eagle has been extinct for many years now

Nobody's said it because we are the ones who have killed it off

Nobody's fixed it because we can't admit we're wrong

Of course we've tried fixing it we just outcast those who know how
