Becoming a free-for-all like Kill Bill
Some of y'all need to pop a chill pill
People displaying ill will
Out for a thrill kill
They say they won't, but they still will
Therefore blood will spill
That's all they know, since growing up in Drill Ville

Life began or ended and decayed
It's all starting to seem strange
In the sunlight, moons glow or tree shade
Do you have any idea how far we came?
A struggle to behave
Quick to degrade
It's either you or them that is betrayed
Can't re-live it, but in your mind it replayed
Since you were teenage

Never went as scripted
Took years of practice to become gifted
Puzzles and messages still that yet to be decrypted
Has life from another planet ever paid Earth a visit?
Always was a misfit
I've been resistant
And distant
As well as inconsistent
All the while being non-existent

Shelters in good shape or abandoned and with broken boards
Folks going with or against the social norms
It was an omen or
A good sign at the moment for
Those in store
The soon to be approaching storm
Yet another opposing force
Since far before the Trojan Horse
Macedonian wars
And Roman swords
Treasure and junk strewn all across the ocean floors
Wasn't worth it or the risk paid off when I opened doors
