Angles and Defenses
Unveiling Human Vulnerability
Lyrics
I don't know why,
I am uncertain about the reason.
I know where the pieces go.
I understand where the components belong.
Suddenly everything makes so much sense
Suddenly, everything becomes clear and understandable.
We lay our backs across your fence,
We place ourselves on your boundary.
Feels like I'm almost human.
I feel a semblance of humanity.
Each gesture nearly commands respect,
Every action almost demands respect.
With ringing ears and ringing necks
With ears and necks resonating, possibly from impact.
Will hit the ground with scattered shots,
We will fall to the ground amid random shots.
We'll tie your lungs in miles of knots,
We'll constrict your breathing extensively.
We'll close your eyes.
We will cause you to close your eyes, possibly metaphorically.
Bricks and boards are not enough.
Building materials are insufficient.
They're not enough, not even close.
Insufficient, not even close to meeting requirements.
Goes right through your doors at night.
Penetrates through your doors during the night.
It is a quality
Refers to a characteristic or attribute.
Not often appreciated,
Rarely acknowledged.
Seldom admired,
Infrequently praised.
Held to bare bulbs,
Exposed to bare light bulbs.
We'll see it through
We will persevere through it.
Short breaths
Breathing is shallow.
Stabbing sighs
Sighs are like stabs.
After all these years
Even after a long time.
Still afraid to die.
Despite the passage of years, there is still fear of death.
Crush your small sense of security.
We will crush your limited sense of security.
Grinding it out underneath the cheapest pair of shoes I own.
Persistently wearing down beneath the least expensive shoes I possess.
