It was their system that failed you Failsafe plans for unbearable thoughs Not that you thought, you'd ever need them You've been trained to endure You're holding up their banners, you're fighting in their war You're shattering your mind to bits, for a thing that isn't yours It was their system that failed you Failsafe plans to silence the deaf Not that they ever meant to use them on you You've been trimmed to face obvious death It's a thing that isn't yours to deal with Don't feel comppelled or they will get their will Don't you give in Don't let it happen Come to realise you're not supposed to make it But even if you do how should they know? With your systems at failure You're not more than a useless expense Just another dull casing That was brought into being by greed and ignorance Sticks and stones will break your bones But the names will always hunt you
