​[Intro]

(Slow, haunting detuned cello melody)

(Heavy blues slide guitar enters)

(Double kick drum build-up)

​[Chorus]

Chaos and destruction are my biggest fear

Seems like it's been going on for years

Trying harder can't really get a break

Has my life become a big mistake?

​[Verse 1]

Time is the keeper of this gate

Why so many things I really hate?

Push back until I'm told to quit

Can't stop dealing with bullshit

All the blowback that I really enjoy

But I can’t operate as your little toy

Candles can burn down from both ends

Push back and see I'm part of your distorted reality

​[Verse 2]

Just being real, I don't pretend

It's an illusion trying not to offend

Cast down into the abyss

Trying to find what I really missed

​[Chorus]

Chaos and destruction are my biggest fear

Seems like it's been going on for years

Trying harder can't really get a break

Has my life become a big mistake?

​[Bridge]

(Beat drops to heavy bass and cello)

Push back is the keeper of this gate

Trying to find what I truly hate

Push back until I'm told to stop all the nonsense

Can't stop thinking it's all about pretense

​[Verse 3]

Unavailable reality is always wearing me thin

It's just the push back that usually wins

Growing faster is my only fear

Need to shift to another gear

All the blowback that I really enjoy

But I can’t operate as your little toy

Candles can burn down from both ends

Push back and see I'm part of your distorted reality

​[Chorus]

Chaos and destruction are my biggest fear

Seems like it's been going on for years

Push and I'll push right back

Always enjoy another attack

​[Outro]

Unavailable reality is always wearing me thin

It's just the push back that usually wins

Growing faster is my only fear

Need to shift to another gear...

(Fading cello notes)

(Final heavy kick drum hit)

​[End]
