lyrics

I encrypt as much as I can
I was short
still am
Very intelligent
could read at three
Very effeminate
Glued to a computer screen
MSDOS/Windows 3.1 timeframe
I played SimCity obsessively
The original
I zerofilled the original
I barely exist

I’m an army intelligence analyst
I was reduced in rank today
I’m not a violent person
I punched a colleague in the face
I’m not brave
I’m weak
I care
I’m not brave
I’m weak
I’m in more potential heat than you ever were

I keep track of everything
I watch the whole thing unfold
I don’t give specifics
unless I have them in front of me
I’m an awkward patient
I don’t like dogma
I was awestruck
I’m a DC guy

I’m here
I’m a ghost
I’m godless
I’m a mess
I’m armed
I’m crazy like that
I know the feeling.
I know I do.
I don’t like this person that people see
I behave and look like a male,
but it’s not me
(CRIMINAL EVENT)
but it’s not me
MURDER REPORT
but it’s not me
1 Civilian Killed in Action
but it’s not me January 27, 2009

but it’s not me August 30, 2006

A displaced local national from Little Abu Sayda was removed from his home by the IPs and taken to the palm groves near Abu Gharma and murdered.
but it’s not me
(CRIMINAL EVENT)
but it’s not me
The IPS detained the family.
but it’s not me
NO DAMAGE
but it’s not me 1 Civilian Killed in Action

Actions have no direct Coalition Forces involvement,
therefore do not expect Western media attention.

MURDER OF SECURITY GUARD OFF-DUTY
In the vicinity of Basrah
but it’s not me
(CRIMINAL EVENT)
MURDER REPORT

January 14, 2007

Unfortunately we have been informed by his colleagues involved in the search (Mohammad Qassim and his family) that they have found Jawad in the Basra City Mortuary.
but it’s not me
Religious sect of victim: SUNNI
Did Victim show signs of torture: UNKNOWN
141130 TF TOC Received a tip from a trusted source

We cannot 100% verify this information
however from all calls received from trusted employees
this indeed seems to be the case

Situation clearly outlines significant problems with the area IP and the populaces ability and/or willingness to trust them.

and I have no-one I trust -
There was one moment
I guess I was a bit lonely
so I opened up the computer
and just…. talked.
