From the Instinctual Flaws EP (2007)

Recorded in Boston, MA

lyrics

I have no desire
its locked inside a cage
like a homeless man upon the street
ignored and pushed away
i have no desire
at least that's what i'm told
i'm rejected time and time again
i wonder – am i human anymore?

my aim is a direction, influenced by my root
and if i had a gun, there's only one thing i would shoot
i'm just a selfish prick who should try to understand
can't always blame the supplier for not keeping up with the demand
finely-grained time fills a bucket of lost sensation
i'm still waiting for the train after they've already closed the station
i find it hard to comprehend the current state of affairs
the apple fell, i took a bite, and then it flew back up in the air
i'm chain-smoking cigarettes because it curbs my appetite
my heart is beating so fast i can't get no sleep at night
if i had a little window i might sympathize the view
but the walls are bleak and barren when yer locked inside a padded room
