Soft Targets Lyrics

Lyrics by Mike Dupree and Faith In Ruin

Cold war stand-off with the captain and his maker
Salt shaker over the shoulder while the ship is sinking
Give the witless a snake to believe in
Cold blood boils in the wake of cognitive dissonance
An amalgam of mental carrion
Panic button pseudo-ethical sadists
Dead horse beatdown Damoclean conquest
The point is the target most commonly fucking missed
Neglected stress fractures need to be rebroken
Spit out of nothing into nothing, great responder
To the brim with empty spaces so we wander
Yeah, we wander
Nerve endings cauterized, chemical bliss, overload reactor
Black box confessions take on water, great deflector
Into the deep where nothing ever stirs, nothing ever sleeps
Wash your butcher blocks clean and help me stack up all the meat
We're just human target practice
A deadweight scale balance
Human target practice
Cannon fodder for the masses
We're just human target practice
We're just human target practice
A deadweight scale balance
The point is the target most commonly fucking missed
Neglected stress fractures need to be rebroken
Into the deep where nothing ever stirs, nothing ever sleeps
Wash your butcher blocks clean and help me stack up all this meat
