The Des Moines Tapes by The Khayembii Communique Lyrics

[Mark]
Starting becomes an adherent obstacle
When all objections are raised beforehand, in the head

Knowing what one can and will
Say against whatever is being expressed
Because it circles that way, in every single direction
Friends are the police
I'm the police

We define everything here
And push out what is unacceptable
Sometimes based only on fear

And you get so used to pushing things away
That a good idea becomes
Indistinguishable from a bad one
So we remain unchanged and never able to grow
This fear driving our controlled sides

We're pushing everything away
That could potentially save us
We don't know what we're killing
We just keep wheeling down the same old rut
Policing each other, socializing
Stuck here like the children
Like the fucking kids we are

[Brian]
It's all the same, it's inside
We don't look eye to eye
We don't realize we were wrong
Look inside, you can see it
