Quarantined Lyrics

[Verse 1: Cedric Bixler-Zavala]
Autonomous machete for hands
Warden and judge hide behind masks
Wet raindrop lull small rationing
Exhumed the rhetoric
Of break the weak in single file
Sanction this outbreak, a virus conspires
Push becomes shove, days become months
I seem to have forgotten the warmth of the sun

[Chorus: Cedric Bixler-Zavala, Jim Ward]
Feeding frenzy, it's contagious
Have trigger, will travel
Have trigger, will travel
Feeding frenzy, it's contagious
Have trigger, will travel
Have trigger, will travel
Single spark starts spectral fires
Have trigger, will travel
Have trigger, will travel
Feeding frenzy, it's contagious

[Verse 2: Cedric Bixler-Zavala]
Shackled the grapple and the sentinels found
Binoculars watch cardboard towns
Strung up in webs the net was flung
Over the auditorium
Slave trade the weak, no call to arms
Sanction this outbreak, a virus conspires
Push becomes shove, days become months
I seem to have forgotten the warmth of the sun

Genius Annotation

Found a quote by Cedric about this song-
‘On the new record we have a song about it called “Quarantine.” A couple high schools next to the Rio Grande – one called Bowie High – close to the border, the kids who go there get hassled by the Border Patrol left and right who don’t realize that (the kids) are just going to high school and not crossing illegally. The reason why the song’s called “Quarantine” is because I see these maids working for nothing, risking their lives to come over. They’re treated like nothing; like germs and diseases. Going over to Guatas to drink and shit when you’re younger, you see a lot of fucked up shit. I come from this nice suburb, but I get on the roof of my house and I can see the shantytowns with cardboard houses. It’s black and white. ’
