it was a day like any other
my son he turned to me and said
father wherever did we go so wrong
i thought it over for a minute and said

son for twelve years
there was a circus

How are you feeling?
How does someone like you elude the moral quarantine
does your repression only server the greater lie
as you abuse and objectify
all the emotions you defeat you've got the world at your feet
because you think you've silenced all the critics of your misogynistic lies
but when you wake up from your reveries you'd better realize
you're a model of virility a specimen divine

Give me sensibilities without ambition
Give me accolades I've done nothing to collect
Then you spread your plague of ignorance across the planet earth
Robbing us of any self respect

it's a plan these are ways
To a person we all fall down
Unless we rise as one and resist the right

You're the only one who comprehends me
I tell them my spirits lift with every card
you send me. Im trying to be the
Perfect boy the one you've wished for
And now its like a dream when I
hold you in my arms.

Conciliation breeds a fourth amendment funeral
With the paranoid seduced by circustance
The sycophants withdrawing even further
When systematically denied their final chance

Somebody's following you home at night
And they're into what you throw away
Bills and statements, date of birth, social security

When one browbeating lasts a lifetime
I cant recall the last time
Quiet conversation served
Whats left to solve by mute indifference?
Still we carry on this way
Prescribed and uninvolved

This holds no ordinary pretext

It's been separating in my head,
The roads we've traveled down before your crash,
And putting all your trash. This time, it's gone,
And nothing stays the same today.
You know, I've cried for my last time, I've given
Everything that's mine to give and

You're broken again

Pulling down toxins from the atmosphere
Making all of my decisions based on fear
I never even cared about what I could be
I declared a private war on authority
I got what you need because I'm a bad seed
I'm running on adrenaline and living on greed
I'm tired of being, I'm sick of my scene
I'm looking for the end or a place where I can finally come clean

I heard you threw your phone away
A brave attempt at dodging sympathy
And maybe you're right
Who needs checking up on anyway?
But I remember when I felt my worst
Its friends like you I called on first

The shadows of what seemed so sure

You don't speak not a single word,
Can't correlate a single thing you've heard.
You just erase all the things we've said
With a mask of disapproval.

And it's always about you.
Convinced yourself there's better things to do.

Why did you need to take that pill?
never has and never will
make you better make you well
you're shackled in your self-inflicted cell
sunlight you'll never see
you're a prisoner of pharmacology
and you're telling me you feel fine
never better

Sometimes those simple things won't turn the trick no more
And our self-important dreams they all lie shattered on the floor
Even the proletariat receives his royalty
And as the battle rages on and on I wish it wasn't me
And it seems so cruel
The last one breaking up
Until the winter finds it's worth
As we glide upon the earth

I remember the day that we met
I needed someone, you needed someone too, yeah
Spend time takin' all you could get
Givin' yourself was one thing you never could do
You played with my heart, played with my head
I got to laugh when I think of the things you said
'Cause i stole your love, Stole your love
Ain't never gonna let you go

I can't pull in all the stops
But it rained on all of this
With the sirens in my sleep
And her sorrow at my kiss

I can't turn away
Hold the half turn when you pray
All the vanity and fate

Friday night she's not alone
I wonder who's going to drive her home
And walk her to the door
And will she give him a good night kiss
Monday at schoot she says hello
I fight the tears as I watch her go
She'll never know what she means
To this lonely boy

what's wrong with having it good for a change now they're gonna let us have it good if we just help them they're gonna leave us alone let us make some money you can have a little taste of that good life too now i know you want it hell everybody does you'd do it to your own kind what's the threat we all sell out every day might as well be on the winning team can you still recollect those times when the music carried potent prophecies of change could it be that our appointment's run its course are we the liable ones it seems we've ceased to even care has subjugation quelled the revolution that once filled the air divide and conquer as they break us down and watch us fall believe their lies are true and just be glad it isn't you leave all your demands unpressed just fall in lines with all the rest another shill a judas all this time.

So many things I've never said
All those regrets and broken promises
Would it have mattered if I had
Told you everything
I felt admitted I was scared of losing
You would you have understood?

Remember when you said you'd wait forever

I've been put down been pushed around
But they won't break me I still believe
Been cast aside stood up for ridicule
But I'm still here I feel the same
This one's for those who'll never understand
It's not a blueprint or a master plan
All I know is nothing that I've done before

used to be like her we were one and the same
i used to hold her i used to know her name
out on the water i feel her once again
i used to be like her i used to call her friend

she was a lost child running way too fast
no matter where she went she could not get away
there's a voice reverberating deep inside my head

I spilled a drop of blood and drenched my soul
I pulled my skin through the wire
Spat out the broken prose
And when the curtain close
I'll be behind you with a knife at your back

And I'll fight your hate
With whats in my head

Out of my embrace
Lipstick on a stranger's face
Do you take him to the cliffs
To watch the sun go down
Now he's sitting on your bed
What's going through his head
As you show him pictures
The same ones you showed to me

Sometimes it seems so tough
Good friends are not enough
And I'm powerless to help
When you take it all upon yourself

Feels like you just can't win
The whole wide world is closing in
And it's so hard not to think the worse

Everything that isn't from my time and place
Just fades away
And I know it's only my perception
That clouds the things I want to hear you say
All the years of desperation
I'm like a child without the sense to dream
About a life of foolish pride
How can I illustrate

Like the light from a dying ember
A familiar melody
Another gift returned to sender
Such a bittersweet memory
I thought I'd finally broken even
But I was never in the game
Sometimes a fool will beleive he's sated
But still the fear remains

I wanna did you know
Called up you a hundred times today
Think I was to proud to say
No I try not to
'Cause it tears me up inside
'Cause I missing you
And everything around is remind me of you

Lie in a hedgrow
I have grown bigger than
Two timing a talk show
We pitch the perfect plan
Like leather and concrete
Find strength in sterile eyes
Downtown where the tracks meet
Rain bleeds from swollen skies

Don't be alarmed please don't take it personally
But you're acting out on everybody here
You're ability your virility's in doubt
So one more time you clench your fists
Scream and shout
You high-five your friends
Like you're jocks at a football
It seems you don't know when to quit

Minutes, running down the drain
This is where our lives go
This is where we stay
In a job that really pays
So much like the first step
Maybe just a misstep
Maybe just a phase, just a phase

So here I stand
Alone by the side of the road
And I'm reaching for you
Someone to hold, something to cling to
I close my eyes
I shove my hands in my pockets and smile
And the darkness drifts away
I'm at peace, if only once in a while

In the freezing rain waiting on the last train
This is how we live how we fall in love
Last time that we spoke the room was full of smoke
I watched the clock and watched you wak away

Times fade until there's nothing to remember
Just empty promises we made
When words fade memories loose thier meaning

To those in power it's always the same
Made so resistant to reason
Why just deny all the voices for change
As we stumble and fall stripping the process away

So who stands to gain from the righteous refrain
They say you get what you pay for
So we breach one more soul toss them out on the dole

I feel a chill in the air today
And though we never started out that way
We've got to ask ourselves
Is this the land that our fathers made?
That silver spoon is going to fade and rust
Got no respect and we've lost our trust
And Texas, what's become of your favorite sons?

I feel like I'm not wanted here
and I wonder what I'm living for
discerning eyes are burning me
they make me feel like an outlaw

Do you need a uniform
To see the band tonight
Are the people here for fun

I never knew how good I had it
I had to treat you like a habit
it became what I'd guess you call a slight obsession
now I've had some time to work it out
way too much time to be without
the one I've wanted
you're my right direction

Children who watch their fathers rise to work each day
Becoming bitter as they piss their lives away
Out of balance as he stumbles to the porch
Too young to recognize the passing of the torch
And so they cry (in fear)
They wonder why (not here)
The cycle punctuates an atmosphere of pain and lies
It gets to where one never knows what to expect

To be oppressed in the eyes of the sacred sons
All the airs and the vacant stares
Will never make me think that you're better than me
You know you'll never be better than me

When lies serve as substitution
A new twist on an old solution
No cause no choice
They took your freedom away

The new rights gotta keep you guessing
A Quick close with a signed confession
No rights this fight

reason is gone
this brain is out of practice
thinking is alien
it's alien to me

the day is through the lights are off and i'm alone again
electrons comfort me the television is my only friend

Sometimes we fall
We can't see at all
We look for truth
Seek absolutes
But you think you're going to save me now? (You got it wrong)
You're gonna show me how (For too long)
Take a piece of me (There's not a way)
Because I don't want to live your way
