Ulterior Motives

Strapped for time
And warfare rhyme
All in all in all

Give and take
Create the stakes
Tear down these angry walls

Broken bones
In broken homes
All in all in all

Know the shame
Take the blame
And always take the fall

Silent pain
It's all a game
All in all in all

Hurts to know
I love you so
The past I can't recall

Ulterior motives
Can't you see
Through smoky dreams?

Ulterior motives
Trapped within
These walls of sin
And hate-filled children's screams

Born to die
born to fail

Wonder why
Time's a jail

Good and bad
Know the drill

Makes me sad
I gotta kill

Ulterior motives
Can't you hear or sense the fear?

Ulterior motives
Dead at last
I shake the past;
I'm finally outta here...
