Lyrics: Karl Buechner
Music: Karl Buechner/Erick Edwards/Thom Turner/Ian Edwards/Ethan D Henry
Endless absurdity confounds
In the rubble of devastation that surrounds
Guided by delusions to the rocks in the mist
Prisoners of fools captives of fantasists
They raised the madness of hell to the surface of Earth
Crushed by circumstances dead at birth
Now watch as the shock waves fracture out
The day is finally here for us to break out
Thousand yard stare
Thousand yard stare
Thousand yard stare
Thousand yard stare
Tried to infect with a slave mindset
Tortured words to denigrate and infect
The tortuous ways we were forced to endure
Mocked while we struggled without a cure
Refused to try to understand
Or try to reach out
Pretended not to see our tears
Or hear us shout
Now you dare to wonder why there's hate in our eyes
After generations of abuse we’ve started to rise
Thousand yard stare
Thousand yard stare
Thousand yard stare
Thousand yard stare
Taught us to hate and fear each other
So any chance for change is smothered
We understand how the games been played
Now we refuse to be your slaves
Won't kill or die in tyrant's wars
Now we can clearly see the score
It's all setup for us to lose
We'll never let ourselves be used
THOUSAND YARD STARE
