Could you see me coming?
I can feel you wherever I go
They won't tell me where you live
So I had to find you all alone
It hurts like hell
When you're not around
It's been so long
Will you still know me?
Stuck in pews never got me to you
This knife makes me feel powerful
Woo
Everybody thinks I'm just crazy
There's a method to the madness
There's a method to most everything
I wasn't born like this
Nobodies born like this
There's blood on your hands
Boot on my neck
Puts blood in the streets
We keep trying to change ourselves
But we turn into something else
And it bugs me, stupid worker bees
They hedge us on a lie
And we buy it every time
And it bugs me, stupid worker bees
It’s the same spaces
The same paychecks
The same outcomes
The same shipwrecks
It’s the same treasure
We have to split among ourselves
While the rich get richer and leave us all fighting for hell
And I don’t know what to do but we all know
Who’s to blame so turn your swords unilateral
Toward the capitol
Make it louder still
Make ‘em scared
Don’t let ‘em fuck with us
Make ‘em scared
Don’t let ‘em fuck with us anymore
Let ‘em know
We’re not alone
We’ve come to take the throne and send them home
On a one way trip where they’ll all be burning in hell
There goes that fucking alarm again
Another waste of my time
Spend my days in the slave pit
No time to use my mind
I submit control of my senses?
I submit all my will to yours?
So many fucking liars
Competing for my attention
Spend my days in the slave pit
Its intentional
I'll submit all my will to love
I'll submit all I am to something bigger than this
I will wait here all alone
All by myself
Cause I am not
a slave to time
Sense's are tingling from everything
Awoken to love in the air like a spring
Sister cells breeding all around the earth
Where love is not hidden or failed to mention
to be the cure that cures all the curse
You haven’t thought for yourself in so long
It takes its toll on you
Your face is screaming
You’re miserable, you’re fucking miserable
It takes its toll on you, you’re fucking miserable
I think you’re stupid
And I’m trying not to judge
But you’re always in the pocket
You’re always in the pocket
You don’t like money but the money likes you
You’re always in the pocket
You’re always in the pocket
Everything word you say is shit
You never mean a word of it
All you do is sit home
Sit until you’re numb
Biting down on broken nails
You keep yourself inside this hell
You’re such a fucking slut
You haven’t thought for yourself in so long
It takes its toll on you
Your face is screaming
You’re miserable, you’re fucking miserable
It takes its toll on you, you’re fucking miserable
If you’re not gonna live
Just fucking end it now
You’ve got so much to give
But you keep making things worse
For everyone
I'll never get to know my friend Steven
He thought he found an answer
He was my friend since kindergarten
And then I watched him disappear
I'll never get to know my friend Melisa
She had a baby when she was fifteen
And now she works in a mall in Florida
Sometimes I wonder who she could have been
I'll never get to know my mom's friend Bonnie
She's the one who made me want to be an artist
She could paint the prettiest pictures
Until both her lungs collapsed
I'll never get to know my mom's friend Harry
He had a low scratchy growl of a voice
He'd sing "make me an angel that flies from Montgomery"
And then he drank himself to death
I'll never get to know my sister
Because my sister is a crack head
But thank God I remember
When she was just a little kid
I'll never get to know my dad
Because my dad lives in a dream
And even though I think he's the best
He seems so far from everything
And I'll never get to know my mom
Because my mom is an alcoholic
And I bet when she was young
She never saw it coming
You might wonder why I'm an asshole
Or wonder I'm so uptight
Or wonder why I don't just chill out
And learn how to have a good time
But sometimes I'm scared right out of my mind
And sometimes I just get angry
Because I've been let down by the people that I love
But I will not let down the people who love me
I sat here in silence
Patient through violence
And I’ve been so righteous
And I don’t feel safe here now
I’m all alone again
And I can’t help it
I listen too much
And I know too much now
I’m all alone
The sun is still shining
Tempting me quietly
It’s as if I have a purpose now
I can run away from here
Be rid of my demons
Rid of my defense
Be rid of my darkness now
I can run away
Then the lord came from above
Descended like a dove
Come my son
We are one
Maybe it’s all bullshit
But it makes sense in my head
The collective consciousness
I can feel in the silence
I’m getting good at it
Watch the whole world go to shit
but I don’t want to move
If I can’t move like I need to
I've been staring at a blank screen
for what feels like forever
The words all pile up
Into recycled propaganda
They've been trying to scare me
It's starting to scare me
Why would anybody want to be scared?
And why would anybody want to be scary?
I think we're on to something
And they're the ones who's scared
Who are they?
I don't really know
But they're out there
Dressed in sheep’s cloths
And they're fucking wolves
And they'll eat you alive
And they give you candy
And cheap plastic phones....
Do it, do it, do it
You're doing it again
Just like your mama did
Giving everything
For cheap plastic shit
We don't make anything
We just burn it up
And we're taking pictures
Oh, my god we're taking pictures
Stars aligned for change
Joy is on its way
Just beyond this place
Dream while wide awake
Little further now
We’re almost there
Almost there
We’re out of luck
We’re so fucked up
What are you running from?
Everything you need
It’s right in front of you
