about

This track catalogues the way in which our confirmation biases overshadow a fair and reasoned approach to discussing social and political topics.

lyrics

How do the innocent come to be murderers?
A holy call and response silent on one side
The void now fills with conjecture
With the terrors projected,
Virtue falls to me

With half my mind I’ll consider one half of my enemy
Every other stanza he writes reads “hate, hate, hate”
Behold the beautiful, quick to bastardize and banish the bane
Stopping up one ear,
Their voice I distain

Every voice of reason
Unified in assent
Gouging out my merciful eye,
my soul can clearly see

Beware the sound
Of ravenous applause from one hand clapping
Dredge the chasm
Between your righteousness
And the wicked ones you know you love to hate

Let the lines in the sand sink into the fault lines yet again
Segmenting the sheep and the goats into the molded parts of the palm of God’s hands
Cast the demons and angels on either side of the stage
Close the curtain; be aghast
Blurred lines must not displayed

Cut loose the bonds of the restraint
Liberate your hate and disdain
There is no overkill For the pinnacle, the cynical, the adversary
No blow can be too austere
For a mind so lost beyond repair
When we deal in absolutes
A murder is justified

Beware the sound
Of ravenous applause from one hand clapping
Dredge the chasm
Between your righteousness
And the wicked ones You never truly knew

A flicker of goodness in my enemy must be a mirage
