you only listen when i shout
i only shout when you won't listen
you won't shut up and hear me out
i need to raise my voice to make myself clear
i hate this thing without a doubt
wasn't ever fair after all
limited irritating shout
and i can't raise my voice without all this fear
i don't mind
the flashing lights
and peace of mind
so hard to find
but i will find
these flawed designs
and bring them down, we'll bring them down
we'll bring them down today
veins freezing over
sinking lower
letting yourself go
listen to yourself
no sympathy for me
no sympathy for anybody else except the
devil keeps you company
i don't want
to raise my voice
above the spite
the shit, the noise
i don't mind
the flashing lights
but you only listen when we shout
we only shout when you won't listen
can you shut up and hear us out?
won't even try at all
you only listen when we shout
we only shout when you won't listen
why won't you listen?
you always ask for it all
veins freezing over
sinking over
you should hear yourself
take this show over
save the world cuz
you only save it for yourself

my neck is killing me but i am keeping my head up
and if you lie to me you gotta tell me straight up
we all wanna know what other shit you can make up
now
counting up the days until i'll say that i gave up
listening to all the ways you say that you play up
thinking how responsible and dead you will be
somehow
i hate the way i hate to look outside my window
a gallery of spite and fear, always reminded daily
how you let us down you
killed us before we were even born
it's so easy to believe
that one day we'll be happy
but i need you to see
through the smoke and mirrors interceding
so easily
don't be fooled, there is no
reconciliation here
my neck is killing me but i am keeping my head up
and if you lie to me you gotta tell me straight up
we all wanna know what other shit you can make up
now
counting up the days until i'll say that i gave up
listening to all the ways you say that you play up
thinking how responsible and dead you will be
somehow
i take away a message clear as day from
what you're selling me: that i am just a method for your
greed and envy, cool and trendy, so so deadly
brings us to our knees
it's so easy to believe
that one day we'll be happy
but i need you to see
through the smoke and mirrors interceding
so easily
don't be fooled, there is no
reconciliation here
don't be fooled, lying through their
teeth as they reduce us to our fears
true intentions plainly clear
take us to an early grave
no one's gonna save us but ourselves
that'll teach me to speak to soon
that'll show us not to
care about each other it is
all for just themselves
i never want to step outside again
if this is what i have to live with
like my own tailor-made personal hell

am i excess to requirements?
has the world outsourced its need for me?
grief antipodally aligned with righteous rage
punch a hole in the world so gracefully
a world lined with cheap plastic gears
fracture as they turn the evils of the world
a weight upon your shoulders if you're fortunate enough
to know of pain, striations of suffering all unfurled
something's gotta give eventually
i take a look outside the window
i see so many things that we're
taught are wrong when we are young
but no one seems to care anymore
we know there's something wrong with
how the world is run but we're told that
we should just comply, turn a blind eye
until we die and the world goes dark
i don't think anyone will save us but ourselves
i feel like i'm the seashore
bathed in sunlight and breeze
seeing the tide slowly rise
submerged with frightening ease
and as it rises further
world leaders telling me
there's nothing they can do to
save me, save anybody
they won't save anybody
they won't save anybody
they won't save anybody
they'll kill us on our knees

should have taken the dull knife
worn down from years of use
barely enough to
cut my skin loose
keep it in a drawer out of
sight out of mind
representing a dull life
living a recluse
everyone i know is
on my side
so why aren't i too?
letting all my days become waste
i spend my time
thinking of a wasteland
letting my eyes split
wondering how my mood affects my taste
this isn't a cry for help
i'm not asking for a rescue
it's not a desperate plea
i just with i could share my
days with you i just
wish you could see what i see
this isn't a cry for help
i'm not asking for a rescue
it's not a desperate plea
i just with i could share my
days with you i just
wish you could see what i see

run aground
i tell myself it's just for a second
i won't be here more than i need to
look around
just a second to catch my breath
.
i wish i could take hold of my dreams
i wish i could dream just as restlessly
as i used to
as i used to
life has a way of speaking in tongues and
i'm not sleeping as well as i want or
as i'm used to
as i'm used to
and i swear
i'm losing my cool
with the pressure of this
sound, sound, sound
didn't see you come home
so i guess you stuck
around, round, round, round
round, round, round instead
holding ground
but the ground is slipping through my hands
no matter how hard i grip
stick around
for death and related benefits
oh
shut it down
give it up we both know it's a game and
i'm so sick of trying to explain
safe and sound
why i don't wanna play anymore
.
life's a dream and i'm tired of sleeping in
i'm not waking up like i should be again
i need to
i need to
and i swear
i'm losing my mind
peace is so hard to find
feels like i'm in decline
today
i swear i'm not always this lonely, I
just wish you wouldn't act like you know me and
if you know me so well, so soundly
you should know i don't want you around me
around, round, round, round
round, round, round me right now

i stand alone in a crowd
the crowd stands silent around me
applause for a corpse three months dead now
good intentions as far as the eye can see
and we're all here for the same damn reason
and we all cry for the same damn cause
but i feel strangely cold and hollow
what can truly change without force?
what can truly change without force?
i ask you
the woman standing next to me
leaves when it's over not a moment sooner
afraid to walk home alone
and my friends express the same sentiment
oh, the unacceptability of it all
spilling over, staining the whole town red
(so stay inside they said
you're missing the point)
someone once said no one's free til we're all free
but even he couldn't plead not guilty
weigh our hearts against a feather of truth
(but sin flies freely while
virtue will bury you)
what will ever change without force?
a river damned right back to its source
and i feel so damned just by being born
i tell myself it'll turn out fine but
sometimes i'm kept up late at night
worrying about the world we live
wishing so hard for the dreams i'm dreaming of
what will ever change without force?
a river damned right back to its source
and i feel so damned just by being born
i tell myself it'll turn out fine but
sometimes i'm kept up late at night
worrying about the world i live in
wishing so hard for the dreams i'm dreaming of
what will ever change without force?
a river damned right back to its source
and i feel so damned just by being born
i tell myself it'll turn out fine but
sometimes i'm kept up late at night
worrying about the world i live in
wishing so hard for the dreams i'm dreaming of
what will ever change without force?
a river damned right back to its source
and i feel so damned just by being born
i tell myself it'll be alright but
sometimes i'm kept up late at night
worrying about the world i live
wishing so hard for the dreams i'm dreaming of
what will ever change without force?
a river damned right back to its source
and i feel so damned just by being born

i wanna make this clear you
need to learn to care about other people
it's not a talking point
it's the only hope we have
it's a hive mind
a crowd mentality
leave the sick behind
in this false dichotomy
and i don't mind
if you just want normality
but i hope you find
some basic empathy
debate on the internet
does not make sense at
some point the only question left is
do you care at all?
one day i'll meet you in the street
on the other side of a riot shield
i'll look at you, you'll look right back
our eyes will clash in difference and i'll say
"hey! how's life in the fast lane?
are you so truthfully happy
letting other people die as you
point and call someone else the bad guy?"
it's a hive mind
a crowd mentality
leave the sick behind
in this false dichotomy
and i don't mind
if you just want normality
but i hope you find
some basic empathy
and i don't mind
if you get ahead of me
leave me behind
ignite hyperbole
cuz it's a hive mind
subvert reality
bring the lifelines down
in their totality
hey, how's life in the fast lane?
are you so truthfully happy
letting other people die as you
point and call someone else the bad guy?
i wanna make this clear
there is no other way
it's a hive mind
a crowd mentality
leave the sick behind
in this false dichotomy
and i don't mind
if you just want want normality
but i hope you find
some basic empathy
i wanna make this clear you
need to learn to care about other people
it's not a talking point
it's the only hope we have
i wanna make this clear you
need to learn to care about other people
it's not a talking point
it's the only hope we have
i wanna make this clear you
need to learn to care about other people
why don't you care about these people
