I Am Dmitri Karamazov and The World Is My Father

Protest The Hero · A Calculated Use Of Sound [2001]

And so it starts from one impurity

held in place by loveless security,

always thrown around

and beaten by squinted eyes

that soon bear turned back, abstract views

why I kept on saying that

enrolled me in your schools and church

and in your god forsaken military.

Where is her grace?

Where is that subtle joy I crave?

Blurry winter clouds and snow melted by anger -

My subscription. My addiction, my addiction.

If I had one love in this world

If I had one love in this world

If I had one love in this world

If I had one love in this... {you tried to take it away.}

A pound of nuts is simply not enough to keep my rage at bay

and though I didn't kill you.

like you tried to do to me.

I'm just as guilty

because I would have wanted to be free.
