THE CIRCLE HAS THE SQUARE

A decade ago

I never thought I would be

At twenty-three

On the verge of spontaneous combustion

Who-is-me

But I guess that it comes with the territory

An ominous landscape of never ending calamity

I need you to hear

I need you to see that I have had all that I can take

And exploding seems like a definite possibility to me

So pardon me while I burst into flames

Pardon me while I burst into flames

I've had enough of the world and it's people's mindless games

So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame

Pardon me, pardon me, I'll never be the same

Not two days ago

I was having a look in a book

And I saw a picture of a guy fried up above his knee

I said, 'I can relate?'

Cause lately I've been thinking of combustication

As a welcomed vacation

From the burdens of the planet earth

Like gravity, hypocrisy, and the perils of being in 3-D

And thinking so much differently

So pardon me while I burst into flames

I've had enough of the world and it's people's mindless games

So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame

Pardon me, pardon me, I'll never be the same

Like gravity, hypocrisy, and the perils of being in 3-D

And thinking so much differently

P O R D E N

I'm one stop

From a breakdown

Two steps from

Being safe

Just try to

See this through

I'm three steps

From this nightmare

And four steps

From the door

The rest is

Up to you

Pardon me while I

Just turn my back

And walk away

Pardon me if I

Can't listen

To the things

You say

Pardon me if I

Can't fake it

While you still believe

Pardon me

I'm one step

From forgiveness

And two steps

From my grave

We're all just

Passing through

Three steps

From redemption

Four from the

Devil's door

On a path

That leads to you

Pardon me while I

Just turn my back

And walk away

Pardon me if I

Can't listen

To the things

You say

Pardon me if I

Can't fake this

While you still believe

Pardon me

Pardon me while I

Just turn my back

And walk away

Pardon me if I

Can't listen

To the things

You say

Pardon me if I

Can't fake it

While you still believe

Pardon me

I'm two steps

From salvation

But i'm only

Taking one

Pardon me

Nullification, in United States constitutional history, is a legal theory that a state has the right to nullify, or invalidate, any federal law which that state has deemed unconstitutional. The theory of nullification has never been legally upheld by federal courts.^[1]

The theory of nullification is based on a view that the States formed the Union by an agreement (or "compact") among the States, and that as creators of the federal government, the States have the final authority to determine the limits of the power of that government. Under this, the compact theory, the States and not the federal courts are the ultimate interpreters of the extent of the federal government's power. Under this theory, the States therefore may reject, or nullify, federal laws that the States believe are beyond the federal government's constitutional powers. The related idea of interposition is a theory that a state has the right and the duty to "interpose" itself when the federal government enacts laws that the state believes to be unconstitutional. Thomas Jefferson and James Madison set forth the theories of nullification and interposition in the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions in 1798.
