Lyrics Excerpt from “It’s for the Kids”
I’m sticking to the plan – never improvise
Cut off all attachments – I cross the line
Empathy is weakness – I don’t give a shit
An economy of aggression – no throat left unslit
It’s for the kids
Beyond repair
Your words mean nothing just dead thoughts and prayers
You never change
One goddamn thing
Your thoughts and prayers mean nothing
I don’t need answers – I just want blame
