| Sentenced to this lifelong sequence of watching your back
 | 
| A second guess
 | 
| Sink into the feeding of essence to the vultures of another yesterday
 | 
| Save us from indolence, save us from this fate
 | 
| A black cat tradition damned to the genetics of our parents' ways
 | 
| Half dead, on your way out
 | 
| Sent back to these days of heresy
 | 
| Look at these things that they’ve tried to do to me
 | 
| Every supple opinion counts
 | 
| Roll her over when you’re done
 | 
| Son, don’t let them see when you reach for the gun
 | 
| Turning backs on father time
 | 
| A problem with consistent faith
 | 
| Never to count for your prayers
 | 
| Attributed to these backward ways
 | 
| A desire that has lost the edge
 | 
| The solution to the end of our kind
 | 
| Painted into that corner of the mind
 | 
| Smoking gun theory put to the test
 | 
| Prophecies that will seal this final guess
 | 
| The only battle faced is accepting fate
 | 
| Nevertheless a final trait
 | 
| Only hoping to have been on the winning end of the wishbone again
 | 
| Disgruntled attitudes adored
 | 
| Affliction of the victim clause
 | 
| Never listen to your own advice
 | 
| Back to those days of negligence
 | 
| Time to clear the shame from your face and call it a day
 | 
| Wipe the blame from your lips and crawl back to your demeaning ways
 | 
| An adult crusade against the ways they acted when they were young
 | 
| Feeling sore from this lack of respect
 | 
| As your soul is waged for a final bet
 | 
| Will you take that plaque from earlier goals that you have achieved
 | 
| And place it on the dashboard of that wrecked high school dream?
 | 
| Empty-handed in the peak of deception
 | 
| Hating the exact things we do ourselves
 | 
| Cited for these words of the last regard
 | 
| The depraved have let their ideas out again |
