We Are the secretly not dead Seeds sprouting beneath your cemented ideals Cracking you up When you break The sun shines And we breathe Through our arms and our faces Through the breaks in your pavement we reach Here we are

Six in the morn The noise is in my brain Keeping me from eating Socks The noise machine it cuts through my brain Not to say the incessant knocks And that music Flowing through my brain Really seems to be a mock Why’s it so hot It’s burning my brain I can’t stand this noxious pox Carry me away I can not be today Just want all of the time to fade away Let the ego melt become the sludge That oozes out of your favorite video game rendering device Woo hoo! La la Empty Shell On the couch Empty shell On the couch Empty Shell The book is gone It is hiding on the Big city train Pavement and Sun I will be passing on The darkness will reign Rain falls down As I am gazing on There is no hydroplane Noise at my side As I am getting on All efforts are in vain I just want to go where I can be Left alone until I wake up naturally Well it might be baleful and it might be wicked But I can’t look away But there is one thing that I really Need to do today Woo hoo! La la Listening on Nothing else Listening on Nothing Else Listening on

There’s a sorrow in your eyes I wish I could get to know I think I recognize the misery living in your soul Although I know I can’t incite the insight even as it grows And so I set that drive aside until it’s irretrievable But it won’t go away So I just keep going insane There’s always a deeper inside And the lights are all on bright so I can see everything You’ll never hide from me Now I found my voice It was right next to yours the whole time But they’re not ready for us No they’re not ready for us (rep) They’re not ready but… They’re listening and they know exactly what we’re talking about So Speak The Fuck Up Just let go of all your beliefs And come be a beast with me Cuz when we turn off the machines We will turn new leafs Unplug, unlearn, unleash (rep.) Unleash cuz… They’re not ready for us (rep.)

The hole in the sun increasing Plasma flowing over it Don't know how plasma moves Don’t really care The eye in the sky falling Towards the giant splinter That pierces through everything With giant chunks of meat River flowing ferry man stands In his little boat Better get a quarter from your pocket Did you make change Take in the sights they might be The last you see But don’t worry if you fail You’re already where you need to be Down down down Down Down down down down down Down down down Down Down down down down down Down down down down down down Down down down down down Down The torch burning everlasting Long as gas’ a flowin’ Trying to remember When it lost all it’s fear The rock rolling in the garden Passing by the rabbit Looking for the dog Who will never come Standing in a darkened bar Denying death Man comes over says you’re right You can go on Walking through eternity Just looking for anything Maybe even do some fucked up shit And move on Move on Move on And move on Move on Move on And move on move on move on Move on Just move on
6.
I’m so tired and alone I’m so tired and alone and alone But I do it for you, I do it for you (rep) Life is in a box Life goes when your heart stops My skin won’t break your breath My brain won’t accept your death My mind was so sick to sleep Incomplete But you gave my soul Belief I can do this So I do it for you

Looking into the mirror I saw a face that I didn’t recognize Deep lines cutting through Dark blue spots under the eyes Less fire than there used to be Shadows of dreams run dry Unjust but well earned scars Bellowing on an ever growing stream of sighs Watching it all flash by On my glowing computer screen Just trying my best to Stay one step ahead of the all consuming machine It’s 2 in the morning and I’m still awake Can’t even get into bed It’s 4 in the morning and I’m still awake Can’t get outside my head It’s 6 in the morning and I can see the sun rise And wonder if I can make it through another day Walking in a sleepless haze Trying my best to pretend I’m okay Gnashing and Thrashing until my teeth are worn down Clearly I’m in over my head The thing is it feels like I don’t have a choice There doesn’t seem to be another path to tread Stolen from every thing and one we hold so dear Why must we all be cursed to live with such fear It’s 8 in the morning and I finally nodded off To a ringing alarm and a dry throat cough It’s 10 in the morning and I wash the coffee down Pretty sure I felt my last neuron get out of town Chug and chug until I feel free Isn’t being twitchy how life is supposed to be! As we burn ourselves out for another man's bread I really would just like to go to bed I really would just like to go to bed
