Ease of Gloom

The terrorist hates me
He's never seen my face
And never heard my name
But because I'm American
The terrorist hates me

The terrorist wants to hurt me
Even though I'm a stranger
His conviction is flawed
But it won't change the fact
The terrorist wants to hurt me

On my way home
Pondering the future
Heavy thoughts
Bog my optimism
I won't let it conquer
Like so many do
It's not hopeless
Afterall, we remain

The terrorist haunts me
In a moment of my rest
And it causes me to sweat
I always wake up drenched
When the terrorist haunts me

The terrorist is not me
But I see our similarities
We both think and breathe
Since he wants the world to bleed
The terrorist is not me

Tomorrow is far away
But it's always close
Don't act so naive
It comes off indifferently
And there's no excuse
For a lack of concern
Because we all can flourish
Some just choose to wilt

You don't have the right to complain
If you're not feeding our cause
Spectators never change our lives
And they're never remembered
Don't succumb to the ease of gloom
It's an ugly fashion
"It's not British music, it's American music. Now c'mon." -Bob Dylan

    It is hard to imagine a person's life being controlled by the acts of another so.
    Of a nation's people wonderring what somebody from abroad will do next.
    To be put in a situation were you would do anything to maintain the lifestyle that your are accustomed to. To protect it. Protect family and friends from influesnces growing around you.


    I guess after years of putting this into other people every waking though, it was their time to bite back.
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes
    (Because I know)
    Because I know how much time that wastes
    (And function)
    Function is the key
