Antecedent+Consequence Songtext
von D2E

Lower power
Greater force
Stimulation
The root cause

Odd behavior
Unexplained
Formed within the early stages of the brain

Happy children
Sad adults
Cannot see the origin of these results, why?

Child cannot move, starts to cry
Will not join in circle time
Always observed but the cries go unheard

Parents just turn a blind eye
Hoping soon that bird will grow & fly

I′ve been the wounded, I've turned the knife red
Things rudimentary never came easy
No civics lesson left an impression
Like basic survival that′s learned on the streets


Antecedent
Stimuli
Feeling pressure from all sides

Forced attention
Undeserved
Emotions of dysregulated words

All behavior positively reinforced
Handlers let the violent force of nature run its course

(Scream) (Shake)
Only you know who passed the dead man's test
(Want) (Take)
We've only just begun to understand

I′ve been the wounded, I′ve turned the knife red
Things rudimentary never came easy
No civics lesson answered the question
Risk was the price of opportunity

A single bird flies across the skyline
A grain of sand on an infinite beach
Something so distant but still within your sightline
Wisdom acquired over a lifetime you cannot teach


(Scream) (Shake)
Only you know who passed the dead man's test
(Want) (Take)
We′ve only just begun to understand

I've been the wounded, I′ve turned the knife red
Things rudimentary never came easy
I've been the wounded, I′ve turned the knife red
Things rudimentary never came easy
No civics lesson left an impression
Like basic survival that's learned on the streets

Antecedent
Consequence
Learned behavior
Violent trends
