lyrics

There's too much
and it's said in anger
There's too much
and it's done to hurt

There's too much aggression and wrong direction
It must be time for reflection and dissection
With all the focus on correction of imperfection
Well I subscribe to the theory of natural selection
Your affections don't align with my projection
The insurrection of your mind was my intention
And these objections they are blind to our complexion
Too long we hide in a serial lack of introspection
Disconnection of you all will force election
The circumspection of the law will cause defection
And the rejection of the war will spawn infection
We're falling back to an imperial point of intersection

There's too much
and it's said in anger
There's too much
and it's done to hurt

My anger is unequivocal
Only release I’ll ever have is lyrical, so typical
My manner once soft became unapologetic
Anger once lost reclaimed, apoplectic
I never should have got
Involved with a flotsam, jetsam man lost at sea
Cos all I got now is a cold belly
But I’ll rewrite the rules like Elizabeth Macarthur,
Wait for you like a Tom Stoppard character
The gravity of your handsome features
Just left me speechless
Now there’s no time to mourn
I must pick up this art form
But your ego’s deformed
Cos you pitch at my skin with your fork
Scratching away at blood clots so carefully formed
The quick sand of your concern
Turns too quickly into hurt
Want to lather you in dirt
For all that I nurtured, you never returned
But let burn

There's too much
and it's said in anger
There's too much
and it's done to hurt

Read my lips I can freestyle sick
But I gotta get that money just to feed my kids
Neither rich nor poor but I'm down for the cause
Fuck a round of applause
Ideas so deep you can drown in my thoughts
Still trying to kill my energy source with negative thoughts
Repetitive chores
Intellectually a weapon Sir, my pen is a sword
When I enter a door, recognise I threaten with raw rage
Plus to enforce hate endeavours to stall change
Conquered the ball game
Living underneath war planes
Small change dividends
Kick it to cause pain
AIDS-filled syringe I stick it in your vein
Get the point straight h
Hit em up with that raw shit
Board ship, talk shit, you’re lucky to walk kid
Metaphors, I let em spray like I severed a vein
You reckon you’re grade
I reckon I’m a fucking weapon on breaks
