Sand
Double A Lyrics

I've no respect for either side
I have no admiration or regard for either party involved

I never met who made the line in the sand
I have never encountered the person responsible for creating this division

Mind full of stress from the lies in my head
I have a troubled state of mind caused by the falsehoods I believe

I didn't 'make the bed,' but I'm tied to their bed
I am not responsible for the situation, yet I am bound by their actions

Rather sleep on the couch, but that's why I'm a threat
I would prefer to distance myself from this conflict, but my refusal makes me a danger

Keep my eye on the edge, 'cause I'm fine for the moment
I am cautious and alert as I am currently in a stable state

But they try to put me in debt
However, they attempt to make me owe them something

Sickness is a curse
Disease is an affliction

Your empty ambition's similar
Your lack of purpose and desire is comparable

Hope a cure is administered
I wish for a remedy to be provided

Or you grow from it, not satisfied living with the dirt
Alternatively, you can learn and develop from this experience, not content with a life filled with negativity

Living with the dirt...
Existing amidst the negativity...

I know you
I am familiar with you

I know what you don't want
I am aware of what you dislike

I know what you hope for
I understand your aspirations

I know you like dope cars
I know you have a fondness for impressive automobiles

Such a fucking show-off
You are excessively demonstrating and boasting about your possessions

I'm faster than go-carts
I am quicker than go-karts

You think you can go far
You believe you can achieve significant success

But you want a chauffeur
However, you desire a personal driver

(Fucking ridiculous)
(Utterly absurd)

But nothing to show for
But possessing nothing to validate your claims

I've been seeing flow charts
I have observed patterns and sequences

I see you have no job
I realize you are unemployed

I've never laughed so hard
I have never laughed so intensely

You just follow Road Runner
You simply imitate the actions of the Road Runner character

I can't help it, 'don't bother'
I cannot control it, do not attempt to intervene

You keep talking—'oh brother'
You continue speaking, causing me to feel exasperated

Don't expect the blows to soften
Do not anticipate the strikes to become less severe

I won't drop this rope for nothing
I will not release this rope without reason

You can talk, there's no discussion
You are allowed to speak, but there will be no meaningful conversation

We're only different in fundamentals
The only variance between us lies in our core principles

That's the widest gap there could be
That represents the greatest divide imaginable

I'm just saying
I am simply expressing

There's no way you could ever understand
It is impossible for you to comprehend

God's plan—if I follow that and I'm not gonna win
The divine plan—if I adhere to it, I will not succeed

I'm not gon' sweat it 'cause I got another plan
I will not worry about it, as I have an alternative strategy

I never trusted Him
I have never placed faith in Him

I never trusted anyone, and I was right
I have never trusted anyone, and my suspicions have been proven accurate

I know you
I am aware of your existence

I really hope you know how I know you
I sincerely desire for you to understand the depths of my perception of you

You're my least favorite person I've spoken to
Out of all the individuals I have interacted with, you are the one I dislike the most

You speak and you break the unspoken rule
Your words disrupt and violate the unwritten guideline

I'm just gonna hate you forever, that's what I'm up to
I have decided to harbor everlasting animosity towards you, that is my current endeavor

I'm just gonna hate you forever, so this might as well be the final feud
I have chosen to maintain everlasting hatred towards you, therefore this confrontation may be the ultimate conflict

I know you
I am familiar with you

I know what you hope for
I understand your aspirations

I know what you don't want
I am aware of what you dislike

I know you like dope cars
I know you have a fondness for impressive automobiles

Such a fucking show-off
You are excessively demonstrating and boasting about your possessions

I'm faster than—I'm faster than
I am quicker than—I am quicker than

I'm faster than go-carts
I am quicker than go-karts

You think you can go far
You believe you can achieve significant success

But you want a chauffeur
However, you desire a personal driver

With nothing to show for
Without possessing anything to validate your claims

I've been seeing flow charts
I have observed patterns and sequences

I see you have no job
I realize you are unemployed

I've never laughed so hard
I have never laughed so intensely

Maybe I have a cold heart
Perhaps I possess an unfeeling and indifferent nature

Or I have hot blood, and I made a faux pas
Or maybe I am passionate and impulsive, and I have committed a social blunder

I know what you hope for
I understand your aspirations

I don't hope you don't score
I do not wish for you to be unsuccessful

But I made me the bad guy
However, I have cast myself as the antagonist

So if I lost it'd be alright
Therefore, if I were to be defeated, it would not cause distress

(Why I fight tooth and nail)
(The reason I battle fervently)

But if I'm the opposing force
But if I am the opposition

I can't say I hope you score
I cannot claim that I desire for you to succeed

I attack your vocal chords
I assault your ability to speak

I'm testing your choke points
I am examining the areas where you are most vulnerable

I hope you don't fail, but I think you will
I do not wish for you to be unsuccessful, but I hold a belief that you will be

I hope you don't hate me, but you do, and I can't blame you
I wish for you to not despise me, but unfortunately you do, and I understand your sentiment

You value virtue
You prioritize moral excellence

Not my enemy, 'me,' 'you'
I am not your adversary, it is 'you' and 'me'

You, virtue, value
You, moral excellence, hold importance

Not my enemy, not my enemy
I am not your adversary, not your adversary

And ideas can grow beyond this
Concepts have the potential to expand and transcend this situation

But when you speak you should know your audience
However, when you communicate, it is essential to understand your intended listeners

And what you want from it
And determine what you aim to achieve with your words

At this point it's easy approaching conflict
Currently, it is simple to approach a confrontation

Living with the dirt
Existing amidst the negativity

Why won't you let us see you, you could give a picture
Why do you refuse to reveal your true self, as you have the capability to provide a clear image

Why do you want people simple-minded when ignorance hurts them
Why do you desire individuals to remain ignorant, knowing that it causes them harm

There is more students should get to learn
There are additional lessons students should be exposed to

Put it in class, no one subscribes to the extracurricular
Include it in the curriculum, as individuals are not interested in additional activities beyond the core subjects

That's more curriculum with no credit, so it just isn't worth trouble
That would be additional coursework without recognition, making it not worthwhile

You make sure it's 'trouble,' the system is at work
You ensure that it is viewed as problematic, blaming the system

That's my perspective—there's me, my peers, and the ones you pit against us
That is my viewpoint—there is my identity, my fellow individuals, and those you set against us

I think we win if you convince less of us
I believe we emerge victorious if you are successful in influencing fewer of our group

Pretty sure, putting it lightly
Reasonably certain, to put it mildly

That's my perspective, and this is yours
That is my viewpoint, and this is yours
