raze
of
all
the
lyrics
i
could
have
quoted
on
blather
,
i'm
not
sure
why
i
chose "
sabotage
"
all
those
years
ago
.
maybe
i
was
drawn
to
the
anger
.
i
was
a
boiling
pot
no
one
cared
enough
to
watch
,
so
i
spat
the
thin
broth
of
my
soul
in
their
faces
and
hoped
to
leave
a
mark
that
wouldn't
fade
overnight.
in
high_school
,
i
played
"
fear
is
a
man's
best
friend
"
for
an
audience
of
baffled
students,
kicking
the
mic
stand
out
of
the
way
mid-performance
so
i
could
scream
into
the
open
air
until
my
chest
ached.
i
wanted
to
be
that
man
from
wales
who
shared
my
first
name
and
thought
nothing
of
burning
a
song
to
the
ground
to
prove
a
point
.
today
i
would
leave
these
words
here
instead
:
"
we're
living
in
a
wasteland
the
soil
is
cold
and
damp
volcanoes
in
the
distance
riverbeds
run
dry
you
comfort
me
comfort
me
hold
me
in
the
dark
"
