I try changing with the times
Only changing in my mind
I try loose and hard to find
Only leaves me more behind
I tried waiting for a sign
Taking stuff that wasn't mine
I stayed awake and I went blind
Only left me more behind
I tried walking in a line
I tried minimal design
I tried letting my light shine
Only left me more behind
I tried drinking all the time
I tried dying on the vine
Being vulnerable and kind
Only left me more behind
Bleeding hearts don't make the rules
Evil men don't pay their dues
Life leaves little left to choose
Abusees fooled to love the bruise
We gain something when we lose
But we trade glances, not our shoes
The system favors all the fools
Let's eradicate the news

The candle burns at both ends now
And we can't seem to handle how
Nothing grows and nothing stops
Desperate minds in hopeless towns
Serve the herd and plant your feet
Take them soda, bring them meat
Keep a tired eye on the things you want
Gotta be friendly, gotta be sweet
It's the real thing
It's a bad dream
She comes to visit she lives in New York
He hates the South and he misses his work
She hates the way he talks down to her dad
He's trying not to, but sounds like a jerk
"I'm not important, I'm just part of the plan
With no time to waste, I waste all I can
I start to feel different, I start to retreat
I can't question my leaders, I'm a God fearin' man."
It's the real thing
Don't be upset, don't ask yourself why
It's a bad dream
But if you wanna wake up, you have to die
"Is it really worth it to expect more?
Most of life is such a bore
I'm convinced this place is the best
And if you protest, I ask what for?"
If you have to ask, then you're to blame
Don't act surprised by the hurricane

Easier said than done
Multiply less than none
Wanna be more than sum
Mortified less than one
I don't need talking speakers
I'll be just fine in sneakers
Paranoid public speakers
Earning even less than teachers
Classified corporate content
Ready for the new installment
Analyze lists of comments
Make it in the name of progress
I am a walking spender
You are a talking lender
Dedicated liberty mender
Trying to fix a cancer
Do you place faith in birthright
Do you say prayers at midnight
Do you only believe what feels right
Seeing is more than eyesight
Folded and washed up fabric
Glorified signal static
New hearts, molded in plastic
We don't give a shit what happens
Unless the ending's tragic

I run like ridges through the trepid dusk
Don't feel I need to but I feel I must
I can't stand for what this country does
But I still stand upright when I stand up
You don't hear us but the future does
You plant fear but it's just chalked dust
You live here but you don't speak for us
You look so crooked when you stand up
I decided after I was born
I wouldn't work for a futile horn
I concluded after I woke up
I wouldn't listen to the stupid buzz
You look so useless in your riot gear
You give your money to the preachers' tier
You can't help it if it's insincere
Your life's a joke and no one's laughing here
You have a uniform and Stockholm guilt
You love the fortress that your master's built
You exist because of placid filth
Your grandfathers never spared the hilt
I can't see clearly but I hold my stare
I can't fake it if it's so unfair
I was told to but I couldn't dare
I won't live my life without a care
You sound stupid but it makes you proud
You can't stand to be a face in the crowd
You think you're special as you try to endow
But you multiply and talk so loud
I'm disgusted by your train of thought
You're mistrustin' just how hard they fought
Not our soldiers but civilians here
The only difference is your chosen fear

Same Dream

It's time
To sigh
To cry
For a sense of relief
For me
And you
And them too
It's time
to sigh
to cry
for a sense of relief
For us
And them
And you too
It's time
To sigh
To cry
For a sense of relief
For you
And me
And us too
How many wasted moments can we
Lease upon our lives
How many leaders compromise
For shining silver dimes
Maybe it's our fortitudes
That keeps us all awake
But how many people have to lose
To prove it's all a game
It's time
To sigh
To cry
For a sense of relief
For me
And you
And them too
It's time
To sigh
To cry
For a sense of relief
For us
And them
And you too
It's time
To sigh
To cry
For a sense of relief
For you
And me
And us too
It's time
To sigh
To cry
For a sense of relief
For me
And you
And them too
