Bend The Knee
daring to rise above fear
lost within my careful dream
withered fingers holding dear
sinister omen direct stream
putting myself out there
falling short of certain grace
piercing eyes reflective stare
stained in whiskey and lace
select is the population
spreading this disease
preaching against copulation
they all bend the knee
sexy dancers paying bills
on a bastardized stage
living the thrill that kills
human on human eternal rage
homeless vets still in a war
with those who never served
problematic suits always prosper
political favors left them swerved
select is the population
spreading this disease
preaching against copulation
they all bend the knee
hourglass is tipping slowly
killer stalking from afar
scum keeps creeping boldly
wishing upon a falling star
psychopathic dementia
everyone simply falls in line
dot the I cross the T
and we remain forever blind
select is the population
spreading this disease
preaching against copulation
they all bend the knee
ideas are a symbolic graveyard
could’ve and should’ve been
the joker holds the final card
overrated media loves a spin
what about our lost souls
searching for something real
raked over the coals
waiting for that relevant deal
select is the population
spreading this disease
preaching against copulation
they all bend the knee
lost within my careful dream
withered fingers holding dear
sinister omen direct stream
