[Input 1] Tolerance is a finite resource. I checked my account; the balance is zero. You expand like gas. You fill every available corner with your volume. My silence is not permission. My silence is a wall you are pissing on. The geometry is wrong. Your rights are a circle that eats my square. Why is "living your life" always synonymous with "ruining mine"? [Chorus] Why does the chaos always win? Why is the silence considered a sin? The law protects the loud and the rude While the decent are swallowed, chewed, and subdued The parasitic, the toxic, the loud Are the ones who are standing so tall and so proud And I’m just waiting for the dam to break For the hands to stop shaking, for the earth to shake [Solo] [Input 2 - The Evolutionary Flaw] Shame is a handicap. I am disabled by my ability to feel embarrassment. You are evolved. You have shed the weight of self-awareness. Superpower: The ability to not give a shit. The law was written by people who don't have to live next to you. If I react, I am the aggressor. If I scream back, I am the crazy one. The victim is the one who snaps first. [Chorus] Why does the chaos always win? Why is the silence considered a sin? The law protects the loud and the rude While the decent are swallowed, chewed, and subdued The parasitic, the toxic, the loud Are the ones who are standing so tall and so proud And I’m just waiting for the dam to break For the hands to stop shaking, for the earth to shake [Bridge] The asphalt is melting. The tie is too tight. A briefcase full of nothing. Traffic is not moving. The fly buzzing against the glass. You think I am walking home. I am actually walking away from the rules. One inch at a time. [Outro] Drip. Drip. Drip. The ceiling is holding. Until it isn't.
