ICETEP - Collateral Damage lyrics

[Verse 1: Tony the Scribe] We live in safe houses Never speaking out loud All our plans are laid on paper And the makers disavowed They call us traitors Fatal if we're figured out Strangled by the nation We make bombs in our house And fight Bradburyian firemen With a fire inside us And the cinders rise lighter Than environments tired To retire is sipping cyanide Tapped through the wires Rather f**ing explode Than perspire desires We've got acquired taste for fertilizer Serving our ire Murders are turbulence We use to burn silence There's truth behind violence They don't want you to find it If you sell your soul for rubles We'll get brutal in defiance We sip molotovs In the bars that confine us They put drinks in our hands Dro used to keep us quiet Made one mistake Booze blows when ignited So we took our little pilot lights Incited bigger riots No ski masks We some fitted cap militants Criminals indifferent To civilians living ignorant They stuff themselves with novacaine To cope with pain and slow their brains They cuff themselves with polled charades To pose parades Too broke to save We're not afraid to pull blades To break states, you gotta break a few eggs So we stay with AKs Spray tracers at heads Pardon the mess But we can't just lay in our d**hbeds [Hook: Guante] And I just want to go home But my home is haunted My heart is weak Feel a little spill out every time that I speak (speak on it) I just want to go home But my home is haunted It's like 21 and a Wake Up Waking up to the inside of a coffin I can't call it (I can't call it) I can't call it (No, I can't call it) I just want to go home But the ghosts ain't talkin Nobody's talkin Feel like I'm fallin Feel like I'm fallin Feel like I'm fallin Feel like I'm fallin [Bridge: Tony the Scribe] But bloodstains linger in my fingertips And lips don't forget the taste of innocence The scent of pure fear is unforgettable I've seen every schoolyard can be a k**ing field And you hear the cries of dying children Knowing you put the bomb in the building But I swear to god I'm not the villain here I just can't live my life sitting still in fear Even moses told slaves k** sheep So I murder infants who still asleep I can't care if I'm slaughtering their dreams Wounds cauterize, end's worth the means Sometimes to k** disease you gotta scheme And amputate the dead limbs with gangrene I refuse to worship at any idol's feet So we preach in IEDs and gasoline [Verse 2: Tony the Scribe] Collateral damage is a vow to insanity A phantom that they champion To damn us more radically But I will canvas the mansions Abandon humanity Before I let these kings Hold me ransom and vanish me Where there's fire there's smoke Hold a candle to vanities Quote the smoke signals To the proles with profanity k** people, burn sh**, f** schools And all the tools they use to keep you from truth Cut your heart out in the booth If you keep it in your chest its no use Stop counting sheep and slit throats Plebeians screaming for the kings to get ghost Abandon reality, we don't f**ing watch thrones We will rebuild the factories with bones So f** it, if you really think the cause is worth headstones Quit making music, wear bombs ‘stead of headphones [Hook: Guante] And I just want to go home But my home is haunted My heart is weak Feel a little spill out every time that I speak (speak on it) I just want to go home But my home is haunted It's like 21 and a Wake Up Waking up to the inside of a coffin I can't call it (I can't call it) I can't call it (No, I can't call it) I just want to go home But the ghosts ain't talkin Nobody's talkin Feel like I'm fallin Feel like I'm fallin Feel like I'm fallin Feel like I'm fallin [Outro: Tony the Scribe] So f** it, if you really think the cause is worth headstones Quit making music, wear bombs stead of headphones
