"Belligerence, Pt. I"

I have come to terms with this new reality
I see through it
And yes, I take the blame

How you've chosen to televise your frustration
Slide and rake in the benefits
While immersing yourself in lamentations
Everything handed to you on a plate
You were never completely honest
And I call it by its name
Yes, you do have a tendency to transfigure
And to covet your rage and anger

As attributes of reason
As elements of common sense
I am not impressed

I have felt reliant and abased in your vicinity
By your ever-changing moods and sensitivities
I'll never shrink myself again to match your state of mind
Always changing like the weather

You spend all your waking hours coping
With your own belligerence

High above the Southern hemisphere
I won't attempt to sway you, no more
I've not been getting sleep up here
As we glide through these troubled waters
If you can't see the beauty in this any longer
I'm not the one to open your eyes

I've felt reliant, abased in your vicinity
By your ever-changing moods and sensitivities

Covet your rage and anger
I am not impressed

Brace yourself for repercussions
Of your know-it-all attitude
Your speech was riddled with anxiety
Praised be all those concessions
That led us to this shaky truce
I'll let you claim this as a victory

You spend all your waking hours coping
With your own reactions to things that are out of your control

Then everything began
To crack and break
Yellow sludge poured out
Everything began to boil even harder
And foam appeared
You can see it through
You can see for yourselves

Night in a cosmic rescue boat
Lie down, enjoy the comfort of your bunk
I feel a tingling in my lungs
Eyes closed, imagine you were home

I've felt reliant, abased in your vicinity
By your ever-changing moods and sensitivities

"Belligerence, Pt. II"

I have come to terms with this new reality
I see through it
And yes, I take the blame

How you've chosen to televise your frustration
Slide and rake in the benefits
While immersing yourself in lamentations
Everything handed to you on a silver plate

I won't bow to your negativity
I won't bow to your negativity
I won't bow to your negativity
I won't bow to your negativity
I won't bow to your negativity
I won't bow to your negativity

Now it's too late
Now it's too late
