Stop
We're running out of luck
It's time to give it up
We're skidding like a truck
Down a hill no stop in sight
Comes from shedding light
And fighting through the fright
Opening the shutter to increase exposure
Why
Hey
What was that thing you said
No need to make amends
It's ok now I understand
It's all my fault cause
I thought that I knew you
But that's not even close to true
Just a trap you set up
Pulling me into your orbit
Why
Do I even try
To read between the lines
When truth is staring back at you
It's all that I can do not to think about it
A trick question
Money or satisfaction
No
They say fuck your family
What have they done for me
They're just another symbol of cost
Of utility lost
And the voice inside my head
Just can't stop from screaming
Why
Do I even try
To read between the lines
When truth is staring back at you
It's in your face there's nothing left to chase
They'll dodge the blame come back and do the same
And it's all that I can do not to scream about it

Waking up in the morning
Still reeling from last evening
With the worst feeling in the world
Down with fake innocence
I am a fucking mess
Thoughts that make my toes curl
Got work in an hour
Don't die in the shower
Feeling
So deceiving
Am I alone again
Am I my only friend
Why do I constantly need
To be searching for meaning
To complete me
Am I sick in the head again
Worried about stupid shit
What am I supposed to do
To get away from you
Get up
Fall down
Get up
Move around
Pill for your frown
Good luck with feeling so down

I find it kind of hard to comprehend
How we think this world is dumb yet has a plan
It doesn't seem to make a lot of sense
I think we need to readjust our lens
Cause nothing here grows without a perfect home
And yet we are afraid of the universe's tone
And we wonder why we always feel alone
But how can we be scared of a life we've ever known
Because we sit here
Strung out on lies
Struggling to understand why
It never seems to turn out right
Obsessed with trying to figure out
What it's really all about
Heads buried in a fairytale
Common sense revolution must prevail
No I don't know what the future holds
It seems like just a concept that keeps us growing old
Regretting all the things we never did
To tell the next generation just precisely how to live
Cause submission leads to orders
Leads to living like a drone
But all we do about it is sit back and bitch and moan
And continue to debate what proper people should condone
Think it's time to stand up and use our backbone
Because we sit here
Strung out on lies
Struggling to understand why
It never seems to turn out right
Obsessed with trying to figure out
What it's really all about
Heads buried in a fairytale
Common sense revolution will prevail

It seems we've had a misunderstanding about what this really is
You caught me flush with a sucker punch and now you're trying to dip
Thought it might be better left unsaid but
Your delusion is not reality cause it can't be bothered to consider me
But it won't be long now until we're back on solid ground
No it can't be long now until we're back on solid ground
So long as you know it's just a fantasy
That makes you feel what you want to believe
And I don't know what it's gonna take to make it finally break through
That I'm being honest when I never pictured waking up or coming home to you
Thought we settled all of this before but
Oh no I'm in your dreams again when nothing is different than it's always been
But it won't be long now until we're back on solid ground
No it can't be long now until we're back on solid ground
So long as you know it's just a fantasy
That makes you feel what you want to believe
I'm not sorry to have shown you how the truth can hurt
No I'm not sorry to have shown you how the truth can hurt
I'm not sorry to have shown you how the truth can hurt
Because you know it's just a fantasy that makes you feel this way about me

To have and hold forever now
That's what you tell me it's all about
The endless hunt with the same result
Something to bitch about to the friends back home
How can I be like all the rest
Staged photos of life over which to obsess
How can I build the perfect home
Have you thought about spending some time alone
And there's always a brand new lame excuse
A reason you can't change what's in front of you
Flinch up when you come across something new
Cause you don't know what it is or exactly what to to
You whine and you suffer struggling to fit in someone's shoes
Can't even appreciate anything you have cause it's not you
Run in circles to your tune wondering what i think of you
If you want the truth I think you're lost
In the space between the haves and the have nots
You whine and you suffer struggling to fit in someone's shoes
Can't even appreciate anything you have cause it's not you
Run in circles to your tomb obsessed with what I think of you
If you want the truth I think you're lost
In the space between the haves and the have nots

Connections

All we ever do is sit around and dissect the differences with me and you
Like they're something new
Let me take you away to some sort of distant mythical hideaway
Where we can celebrate uniqueness every day
Because I know and so I've heard
Other people can be so absurd
But now hey where is the fun
Being figured out by everyone
Because it's hard to explain
What's going on inside our brains
So just know that connections are made
In lots of many different ways
And I won't pretend to understand
What it means to be human
But how do I tell you how I feel
When we don't even share the definition of real
Because it's hard to explain
What's going on inside my brain
So just know that connections are made
In lots of many different ways
