Are you on the move again
Making enemies of friends
Getting order out of chaos
By destroying from within
Because we saw the pieces flipped
And watched you clip them to fit
And yet here we still sit
So sit me down, slap me on the wrist
Tell me all is well and to desist
They spit recycled, time-tested lines
As they claim what was mine
But there's something alien in all of this
Something amiss
You milk this Reichstag model
Change our world while we dawdle
But they're peering through the wool
Some now march around the bull
Because we saw the pieces flipped
And watched you clip them to fit
And yet here we still sit
So sit me down, slap me on the wrist
Tell me all is well and to desist
They spit recycled, time-tested lines
As they claim what was mine
But there's something alien in all of this
Something amiss

You in there you're known to me
When we wanted to be free
We'd take who our youth couldn't be
That's what we'd say
In all that awaits us
And hollow which is all
And all for no one
And all the fighting
In our dim lighting
Our rite of passage
And all those sightings
Were all of my needs
Any part of it so peculiar
Watch it all fall with one great big
No No No No
That's not what I saw
That's not what any of us saw, no
That was sort of to me sketchy
No No No NO
That's not what I thought
I wanted to tell you I followed it home
What I thought was searching for us
No No No No
That's not what I thought
I thought let's really take it out of the box
But I reached in and pulled out nothing
Aitai ima demo
kioku ga boyaketemo
Dou yatte omotte ii ka wakaranaku nattemo
But I taste your backwash
In overlooked places
In forgotten faces
Now so familiar
And closer to these
I drop to my knees
weak and taken, swept up by this
New force of nature
New cause to nurture
This light pierces like a headache
Through the void as I scream
No Nay Neigh No
That wasn't your call
That was an obligatory fall oh
Now I see things from beneath them
No No Don't Go
I can see your laughing face
On a train to some part of nowhere
That was just a perfect dream now
No No No No
That's not what I want
Just stop and I'll tell you what I want
Too late I reached out and pulled back nothing
Ashiato wo tadoru dake
No No No NO
I stopped what Ice thawed
From flooding you out of the cargo
That was being taken nowhere
No. Why'd You Go
I'll put the act on
If you just say you'll come home
Oh, you were here I just misplaced you
No No Don't Go
I must've fucked up
I thought I could put us both back in the box
But over time it had taken the shape of nothing

Don't ride my ass with your Crown Victoria
I don't wanna see it
I just wanna get where I'm going
I don't need you hassling me
So leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
You pulled me over for
driving suspiciously
How does one drive suspiciously
What does that even mean
And you pulled me over for
throwing out a cigarette
Said it's something you'd make me regret
And I know this system doesn't
reward you to protect and serve
But boy you got a lot of nerve
And I know this system doesn't
reward you to be a friend
But just to reach your quota at the month's end
And bring in the cash
So get off my ass
And leave me alone
Leave me alone
You must create problems to create profit
Crimes create profit
Nearly 2 million people are incarcerated
in the prison system of the United States
many of those are in prisons run by private corporations
who then trade their stock on wall street based on
how many people they keep in their jail
The whole thing is a money making sham
you fill our prisons with
folks who smoke a little weed
while murderers are running free
And I know they're an easy target
but what does that say of you
Have you nothing better to do
I'd give you more than a little more respect
if you protected who you're supposed to
And served more than just the few
Because we pay for you
So leave me alone
Leave me alone

You've got nowhere to go
If I break apart this home
But me, I'll see decay
I'll travel every which way
We spent so much time running
I guess it's been a long time coming
And I'm sorry I brought you this far
I guess now we know who we are
And can you forgive me
for breaking us apart
Can you move on
with no one but yourself
And can you find peace
in your life
Oh and can we find the time
To refind love
Don't think I'd have it easy
Imagine how everyone would see me
I'd no longer have a home
I'd have to wander out on my own
And all the things that would block the pain
Would be the things from which I tried so hard to abstain
And I've forgotten how to function out there
I lost that spark that tells me I can trust without a care
And can you forgive me
for breaking us apart
Can you move on
with no one but yourself
And can you find peace
in your life
Oh and can we find the time
To refind love
Someday I may come back to
See if you've found your joy
And someday I may come back just to
See how you are
Someday I may drift back home just to
See who you are
Someday I may drift back home just to
See who you are
Can you forgive me
for breaking us apart
Can you move on
with no one but yourself
And can you find peace
in your life
Oh and can we find the time
To refind love

I got a little problem
I can't find no place to hide
But you are the same as I
You just don't wanna say it
and I would be a monster
if I could only be myself
I would surprise you
I could even change the world itself
But I'd want to watch it all burn
So I would have to be the first to go
We all share a darkness
When you find yours let me know

Emoticons verse our woes
All the expressions a GIF can show
And something's messed up inside of me
I'm living in anxiety
I can't remember who I am
I'm so plugged into something else
I need to get away some days
I'm concerned for my health
Feeling blue?
We've got
a pill for you
Feeling blue?
We've got
all the emotions that can suit you
Our lives are saturated
With rapid fire media
There's no need to experience things
Just need a good story to feed ya
I believe that we control our own fate
But I've gotta check the comments on my status update
yes I've got dreams and things to do and goals
But when you've got virtual happiness, all that gets old
Feeling blue?
We've got
a pill for you
Feeling blue?
We've got
all the emotions that can suit you
Feeling blue?
We've got
entertainment for you
Feeling blue?
We've got
a pill for you
Feeling blue?
We've got
emoticons for you
Feeling blue?
we've got
a pill for you
If you start to get upset
Just pop a pill and forget
We've got plenty of sedatives
And cures for your regrets
We want you on our drugs
So we fear monger the others
Dissatisfied and hostile?
Our pills will keep you docile
Feeling blue?
We've got
a pill for you
all the emotions that can suit you
a voice for you
a pill for you
(they've got you docile, immobilized)

You are held in place
A frozen face
You couldn't speak to me
But I feel your pain
I walk out the door
and feel ashamed
I left you alone
You are covered and chained
I wanna tear them off of you
Bring down healing rain
Come down on you
Oh rain down
Gentle waters come
and sweep this man home
Nothing can hold you down
Through tired eyes you see
A tear blurred view of me
You tried to speak through tubes
Nothing got through
You wrote a note I couldn't read
I couldn't understand your need
I had to leave you alone
What you wanted I may never know
Bring down healing rain
Come down on you
Oh rain down
Gentle waters come
And sweep this man home
Nothing can hold you down
Strap them red shoes on and run
Don't look back again, laughing and running
Strap them red shoes on
Push the headshrinkers away
I'll see you in time
Strap them red shoes on and run
Don't look back again, laughing and running
Strap them red shoes on
Push the headshrinkers away
I'll see you in time
and you'll be fine

So Low

This is not you, I don't know you
You don't look like the person you used to
You look run down, and so tired
You are not the one I desired
You've got no pride and no dignity
Yeah, you've let yourself go and it's a shame to see
You've betrayed yourself, I'd ask why
But the mirror would give no reply
Don't you look at me
I'm so down and dirty and so low, low, low
I'm ashamed of you, but so sad for you
You just don't live your life like you used to do
And you got one life, and it's killing you
So, just go out and do what you need to do
You better shape up before you ship out
We've got limited time, then it's lights out
And it's a hard road that we walk down
But it ain't gonna help just moping around
Don't you look at me
I'm so down and dirty and so low, low, low
I'm so down and dirty and so low, low, low
I'm so down and dirty and so low. So low

I went walking on the edge of reality
And I saw the lies in the sky the earth and the sea
you said that your vision is all that you need
But I saw your vision as nothing but another disease
And I went walking in the deep of your dreams
and I saw you and I were disguised as a terrible thing
The sky was a lie from the mouth of your invisible mind
And a demon was forcing your hand in your mind's wounded eye
You were praying for a parachute and overlooked your ripcord
But I want to jump in, jump in, jump into you
'Cause we just need this, I just want it now
We just need this, need this, need this need. This...

We thought this time would last
But it left us in the past
I'll wake up in a year
So far removed from here
And happiness seems hidden in a shroud
But every silver lining has a cloud
We're governed by our fear
We hide each soothing tear
My sleep is never sound
But at least I'm still around
And happiness seems hidden in a shroud
But every silver lining has a cloud
Your weight wears down on me
As heavy as the sea
We gasp for breath in waves
And take it day to day
And happiness seems hidden in a shroud
But every silver lining has a cloud
I need to roam alone
Escape this cage called home
I need to get away
I need to see decay
My wanderlust says leave
Says find some room to breathe
Need to leave all that I know
It matters little where I go
And happiness seems hidden in a shroud
But every silver lining has a cloud
