Off Topic - Damocles lyrics

As we are bombarded by stimulus from the environment around us our senses numb To the sound of war drums and the warning signs of what's to come down on us We're already dead, already dust In God we trust, take care if us Or something like that When a warhead splits into 55 pieces we all get hit Like oh sh** My skin just melted and dripped So did my outfit, and I just washed it But I couldn't stop it Everybody fights with each other all day Narrow-minded, short-sighted, motherf**ers gonna pay Went to run for cover til my cover got blown away Now I'm standing in the driveway I see my mom 50 yards in the distance Covered in blisters She was calling her sister and the line went dead My dad was already in bed cause he had to get up and work to keep the family fed Last thing I saw was like a flash bulb The impact left an outline of my body on the wall And you're fighting over a parking spot at the mall And you spent the last five years in that cubicle And you're so confused by life you're addicted to food Because it soothes you for the time being These are the times we live in Watcha gonna do about it Everyone is partially brainwashed And a clean mind is easy to watch Right now I'm caked in mud and my mental's sweaty in the crotch And I'm hard to stop How can we communicate with other cultures When we feed on each other like vultures? Slaves to impulses Nobody deals with consequences And we all got fences, apprehensive And lawyers are on the offensive Gotta put their two cents in And come out with a Benjamin Wanna say f** the system But it's hard to stop I remember the day when my bright eyes faded away The pain fades as I fade away like so many years ago As I descended to the shadows My world's aglow like so much nitro Lit by some pyro that I don't even know Would never disrespect me, had he met me Cause if we disagree I'm hard to stop It's all said and done, so soon I'd just begun On a blind journey where I can't get lost Cause my eyes are crossed and I'm walkin in circles on the train of thought And it's better to be abstract cause people interpret you differently See what they wanna see Recently everybody sees me Til a moment ago when the air explodes Apparently I'm after the fact Just like that But it couldn't be stopped And in this defining moment maybe you can finally focus On the things you failed to notice And what the difference is Between being alive and being able to live For the first time do we ever see truth In our own mind with our own eyes And I thought of the perfect rhyme with a hook to go But I never made it back to the studio The tiniest thing can bring down the mightiest king Cause a crown can bling but it won't save you From the sound I bring Welcome to O Top's awakening You can bet that I'll make hip-hop with the time I got And it'll be hard to stop What goes through your mind and what stays in it for a hot minute? Long enough for you to process the ridiculousness of what gives you stress I am willing to bet that you tend to forgive and forget in this moment of d**h I'm holding my breath; cause the air today is poisonous How did it come too this? Everything was perfect Everything was perfect How did it come too this? I remember the day when my bright eyes faded away
