Exxplorer - Fixed And Dilated Lyrics
a) Fixed And Dilated I can taste my own venom In the back of my throat I’ve kept it hidden As long as I could The angry child inside me Baptized in gentility Was raised on cruelty In a violent world The urge to kill still tickles Like a maggot that wiggles In the skin of a kitten And these words that I’ve written Won’t deaden the nerve You don’t look blind And yet you wonder why We are this way It’s as plain as the blood in our veins I have always turned the other cheek As though the face I’d strike, Would be my own And all the fists that I’ve denied Conspire against my gentle side When mercy leaves I am diseased A plague of rage come over me Are we here to pray for each other? Or are we here to prey on each other? On each other? For each other? b) Bloody And Unfocused All my anger And hatred Once turned inward Now spun outward A tornado of shattered glass Bloody and unfocused If you think For one minute You can overlook me, You are wrong Through music, Through art Or through violence I will not be ignored I would rather empty a clip Into your brain And then mine Than walk away from this Without satisfaction Did you hear me? I would rather kill you Than walk away from this Without satisfaction
