Tearing down light posts past a tire's grass mold
Brute laughter rises carelessly save for a soul
Dancing on eggshells through a moral masquerade
The heels still stab the floor, but the band no longer plays
Oh devil, please devil
Don't run from me today
Cover my eyes and help my reason decay
Oh devil, please devil
Tell me what to say
They're starting to catch on
Don't make me see them walk away
Speeding 3rd gear running on an empty tank
It's easy to pay for bail if we rob the whole bank
The consequences are null and void to the gods that we are
The road won't stop, a circus top, hanging from iron bars
You think I don't see the rusting tint in your eyes
Mouths sewn shut with stitches holding heavy set sighs
The guillotine still hangs by a fraying spine
But stories smell like gold in the market of the tribe
Oh devil, please devil
Don't run from me today
Cover my eyes and help my reason decay
Oh devil, please devil
Tell me what to say
They're starting to move on
Don't make me see them walk away

Hail to the factory
My eyes can only see
The plastic happiness embeded
By the steam powered philosophy
Metallic voices clang
From the pink plasma bolts
Of the things I will have
When I live in tomorrow
I'm content where I am
Safe from new thoughts
Though I've heard a static stone
Picks up nothing but moss
And a path paved and travelled
Will find nothing new
And a story told by others
Is a story without truth
I wonder what I've overlooked
A land covered in mist
Leave the shackle of the forest
Saw the shackles off my wrist
Sensation
Quiet as thunder
Pages ripped asunder by the
Running man
Soles kicking the floor
The wind gives out a roar
As the chimes sing
Everything's so different
This coffee's got a taste
There are birds outside
Calling right behind the traffic and the waste
This bullet ridden body
Is healing from the rain
Wicked tear drops crumble
As they filter out the brain
Oooohhh aaahh OOHh OAh oh Oha AAAh ohhooh oOhh
Sensation
Quiet as thunder
Pages ripped asunder by the
Running man
Soles kicking the floor
The wind gives out a roar
As the chimes sing
That same old song
But it sounds nothing like it did
Scratching crayons as a kid
And I want to
Feel the drum
As I'm marching through the morgue
As I stand atop the gorge
Burn down the factory
Blind eyes can only see

Another tedious conversation
Catch-22 social wreck
Commitment threatening to pile up
Responsibilities out of check
This ship carries a worthless
Overflowing capacity
This dock can't hold another
One sided trading piece
What is loneliness to you
Does it sound like a bell
Does it feel like freedom
Does it taste like independence
Do those chains feel like warm hands
Does that cage feel like a comfortable house
That beach is made of quicksand
Does that captor look like your spouse
Pacifier pavillion
So glorified
Did you want to be something
Or was that a lie
Retreat
Retreat
Retreat into your home
Retreat
Retreat
Retreat into your home
Retreat
Retreat
Retreat into your home
Retreat
Retreat
Retreat into your home

I know
I know
I know
That all your lies are just for show
No one wants to see you dry
Bothered makes a convincing disguise
Hey
Hey
Hey
Ho
Hey
Ay
Heeey Aaaayyy
I know
I know
I know
That all your lies are just for show
I know
I know
I know
That all your lies are just for show
Be the change they wanna see
Roided hype performance
Throttling hyperbole
Indifference kept dormant
Stances filtered chiropractor
Made for majority study group
Analysis reality TV master
Slice of life is coming through
I know
I know
I know
I know

Breathing like the living dead
Another day is layed to wake
But not across a bed
(No time to)
There's no time to rest or lobby
Mind nor body
To dream for something else
Rejected credit cards
With ceiling leaks and broken cars
Money, to spend
Will this well ever end
I'm worn with being broken down
I wanna try to see the sun that's hidden by the clouds
Even if we know its a lie
Let's say it's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alriiiiiiiight
It's gonna be
So I was hit by a car while walking to Gatti's Pizza. The man got out of the car and said, "Boy those legs are more crooked than a praire dog's teeth. Where were you headed?" "Gatti's" i said "Boy that place is 10 miles the other way. Can I give you a ride?" "No." I had to take my pride into account. So i crawled like a half dead squirrel till I finally got to the window, when they said, "Sir, this Gatti's is drive through only. We cant serve you without a car" So I thought, "I guess I'll just die."
Life's too short to live through it properly
Denial saves lives with rose colored peripharies
This world's too big to hold just one reality
I wanna smile when I'm committing armed robbery
Losing grip
There's too much to hold on
I wanna at least jump before I slip
One last blind punch before I'm gone
If you wanna survive
Let's say it's gonna be alright
Its gonna be alright
Its gonna be alriiiiiiiight
Let's say it's gonna be alright

It's time to go burn all the castles that fell
To bury the fossils with no more to tell
The script might say, to repeat the line
But the night will not keep me awake this time
Life on Mars
Life on Mars
It feels like I'm marching through the ocean again
Dont wanna sink but I forgot how to swim
The vultures have perched to wait to tear through the skin
But I wasn't born a birdhouse and I have no food for them
Life on Mars
Life on Mars
Hey yo
Hey yo
Nothing to see and there's nothing to show
Hey yo
Hey yo
Nothing to see and there's nothing to show
Life on Mars
Life on Mars
Life on Mars
Life on Mars

There's a horizon that's waiting for me
(I can't stay)
I'd rather rot than live in this cemetary
This earth moves far too fast
To keep a slow pace
I left all my ships at Mass
I left all my weight
Was it lonely
Knowing we'd never see us again
If only
I'd been a better friend
Those ties have cut
And I'm fallin loose
I'll try to remember our time
When I do
Was it right
So many mistakes are made
Every single day
Every decision leads to an end
Why are all mine dead
Is it self sabotage
Unmotivated
Does it happen at night
Does it happen at night
Does it happen at night
Does it happen at night
Hello amigo tell me how's your life
I sure hope youre doing better than I am tonight
Ever since I left it's been a mess
Now im lost searching for some rest
I don't remember why I came here
I don't remember where I put my last beer
I don't remember much of anything anymore
So confident
So innocent
The mouse trap snapped
So permanent
So confident
So innocent
The mouse trap snapped
So permanent
I wish I could have stayed maybe than everything would turn out ok maybe i wouldnt have gotten into drugs maybe I wouldnt have given up I was destined for something great i know it why didnt it come i worked so hard i worked till my bones ached I only rested for a second but now Im 38 and I work at Whataburger to scrounge by on rent my mom still gives me money she cant retire what do i do all day who do i hang out with where did my aspirations go i cant move im trapped and i cant move
Im just waiting to
Die
Was it lonely

Hey buddy what's up what's the deal
Have you got a girl to suit your appeal
Don't give up we all know you're a catch
Just be yourself no doubt you'll find a good match
Say hey, say hey don't worry
There's no reason no reason no hurry
You got your whole life ahead of you
And there's no doubt you'll make it well on through
Cause I'm your wingman
And you're my friend
Cause I'm your wingman
And you're my friend
Hey buddy what's up how's it going
Have you seen that new movie that's showing
About the man in the iron suit
There's no doubt that you would like it too
Say hey now what's with the expression
You know there's no need to do impressions
It's okay to keep your mind to yourself
But just call me if you need any help
Cause I'm your wingman
And you're my friend
Cause I'm your wingman
And you're my friend
Cause I'm your wingman
And you're my friend
Cause I'm your wingman
And you're my friend

White Lies
04:42
|

White lies are always quicker
Tools in the hands of dutiful sinners
Default lines
Autofill to say
And yield signs
Seemed to dissipate
Convenient words can calm the bicker
Even absurdist text can be fixers
Dark skies
Clear up right away
And neck ties
Tighten every day
Like most other diseases it started off small and domesticated
But it fed on ease and excuses and I grew inebriated
There was something to do there was somewhere to be so to stay inside
There's a dedicated section in my skull to keep track of the other lives
Breaking down hot sweat
I forgot forget
Which one is mine
Towers all fall down
Stapeled cardboard crown
Am I free or confined
Blind cries can pull the trigger
The binder is blown from its intricate slithers
Dead weight
No one wants a snake
Cold blooded and lays
On its words all fake
