Assumptions

It is merely speculation
Yet we get ourselves worked up
Before it’s said and done
We conclude, it’s just too tough

All because of a notion
Not a concrete fact
We question, where we’re going
Eyes fixed on our own backs

We determine that we know
The Who, what, why and where
Frigid feelings snow
Tension chills the air

Defensive out of spite
Caused by our suspicions 
Could be wrong, may be right
We assemble our own prisons
