LYRICS:
Cares such a scam
When they hope you’ll fail
Care for the freshest air
We say we need inhaled
Careful
You’re asking for too much
While living in mud
I reach for the gun
(Barely out alive)
There’s no governor to their fumes
(Money to keep you home at night)
A simple few control all our news
Can’t afford to play again
(Barely out alive)
Will I understand who’s being used?
(Money to keep you home at night)
Don’t shelter me from all of the gloom
Give me wisdom so I’ll know
Something’s strange
The TV breaks and I’m still sane
And it’s not what I want
Isolated I refuse to
Copy my brain
Clone myself with such disdain
And it’s not what I want,
I’m sorry you won’t
Define me now
It’s gone (blank)
I’m willing to act on my fate
If there’s death
Suffering, I’m invested in
Sell first, selfish rot
A pretty bull makes the elephants roar
We must come to
Realize that in our
Wake we’ll build the way
In absence
Our mindless masses are
Constantly awake (Constantly awake)
Heartbreak to find
But I think you might
See through the lie (See through the lie)
Closer today
Could this be the way (the way)
To separate? (to separate!)
Heartbreak to find
But I think you might
See through the lie (Through this lie)
Could this be the way?
Could this be the way?
Could this be the way?
Doubt disappears
A legacy you need to let it flow
(Woah-oh-oh-oh)
I’m willing to act on my fate if there’s time
(Woah-oh-oh-oh)
I’ll hold you near
(Woah-oh-oh-oh)
Better to mend than deny youth
I’m at a loss for words
Blameless but I’m at a
Loss for words
Blistering but I’m still
At a loss for words
Confident but I’m still at a
Loss for words
(But I’m not lost)
I’m at a loss (Care)
One day I’ll prove the essence of its
Worth (ful)
Won’t live by laws that dictate the
Worst in lives
Keep those passion-filled eyes
I’m sorry you won’t
Define me now
Something changed
I’ve made my own escape
And now I’ve cleaned these stains
Isolated I refuse to
Copy my brain
Clone myself with such disdain
Cause it’s not what I wanted
I’m sorry you won’t
Define me now
(It’s gone blank)
I’m willing to undertake
If there’s death that brings
Peace to me and all others in my lane
I lose focus
If it doesn’t go this way now
Can’t accept this waste
But we’ll make due
We’re out of time left to pretend (Woah-oh-oh-oh)
(It’s over now)
That one of us could bring you back again (Woah-oh-oh-oh)
I’ve had a hard time giving in
(It’s over now)
For so long, so long again
Can’t afford to play again
Give me wisdom so I’ll know
So I’ll know
We’re a different kind.
