Do this and don't do that
(So they tell me)
Do as i say not as i do
(Don't remind me)
I'm better than that
I'm smarter than this
Childhood sat in church pews listening
To stories of dead men telling their tales
Teenage cynicism reminded me
It's all a lie
And all a sale
But there's something deeper beneath these waters
Something far beneath the surface
Archaic whispers of men in the sand
Staring at the sky with stones in their hands
Something deeper only my soul seems to truly understand
My brain is left in the dark
And it shows
Listen to me
There's no way out of this without a sense of missing something
There's no way out of this without a sense of missing something

Did you hear the news today?
Concerning letters of dismay
The queen has sentenced us to shame
It's all elaborately contained
Stupid phrases smartly stated
Oh
Come in close
Feel
It the most
Stinging
In my eyes
Living
In disguise
They told me
My day would come
Where i could fly
Into the sun
They told me
The sun would warm
And not burn
Never burn
Who the fuck told you you could just fucking
Lie
Waking to another day
Knowing that you will never pay
For your mistreatment of us
Your subjects
Your suspects
All hail the queen bee

Questions, Not Answers

Something's rotten in this house
A heart doth beat beneath the floor
You forget yourself and where you are
You think you're more than all of ours
A place a person a time
A subject you can't get right
Stick to it don't you forget
Your fucking lack of respect
Don't question me with your words
Don't flex your muscles and curve
These statements that you pose
Are questions
Not answers

Doesn't matter how it ends
The conclusion is always the same

First things first you get a ring
Burn it in the firey coal
Then you get yourself a bear
Stick the ring right through its nose
Thats how we did it
In the old days
Before the waves of unending change
When the regime fell to the ground
My life was easier as it was
Before i had to deal with
"Being found"
Before i had to deal with finding purpose
If you teach a bear to dance
It will forget how to hunt

You are
Doomed to wander endlessly
Searching for a simple key
Happiness you will not find
At the bottom of the line
It's the oldest lie they tell
That you "grow" as you grow old
Not without a certain stench
Of ignorance and self neglect
This will
Kill you
You will
Suffer
You can't
See straight
Now it's
Too late
Isn't anybody gonna show up?
How come it won't stop hurting?
Please let me know none of this is really real
Repeat repeat and endless hole
Struggling to hold it all
Like so many times before
Wings were clipped before you could soar
Gifted one like all the rest
Gifted too just flea the nest
Left with nothing but to rot
Searching for what time forgot
I've been getting better
You've been growing less clever
