lyrics

Terrorized on a tuesday morning
Again I've missed the step
I was never anywhere close
To where my intel said
its too big a picture
To see the finer lines
The ones that make one
A target in iron sights

I didn't see anything
I was trained to see
Cause it had everything,
Every little thing to do with me

instant headache in the center of the forehead
it's not pain
it's embarrassment
which is pain
take off my glasses
rub my forehead
rub out the embarrassment
forget the future
the future is now

I didn't see anything
I was trained to see
Cause it had everything,
Every little thing to do with me

And maybe I'm the point
of a microcosmic joke
A cosmic low
A dark star's glow
