Clapper-Loader - Shihad

Borrowed reason

That taste stirs nothing in me

And the only way to get by

Is being built into this wall

Yeah, it’s a copout

Standing still to please your doubt

And for years in a snare

We’re so sorry, we left out your reason to crawl

So sit down, vacuum child

Get sucked in, desensitize, stand up

Direct feed in through your eyes

But now you’re looking the wrong way

Why play, not wanting anymore

The first bite’s the best

So you leave the rest

Lying face down like a razor

Lying

Good evening, clapper loader

You should override the writer

Making stories fold

Because truths are told

In better ways than these

Believe me I could show you if I had something to show

But your history’s been bound and gagged

And the pattern that’s ingrained tells you to

Crawl into yourself

Safe inside your cage
