Numb

It's a battle over you
And you won't be the first to fall
This pestilence-like force has yet to run it's course
I view the speaches on TV
With numb complacency
I filter through the rhetoric and it's relevence to me
The network anchor counsels me on exactly what to think
But I still don't know...
What to believe is right in a world of deceit and lies
We're drownin' slowly
Who pays the price? In a world hell bent on demise
We're dyin' slowly
Indifference is just fine
A cushion for the blind
But I can't seem to find the time to liberate my own mind
Autonomy it comforts me though the daily 9 to 5
But I still don't know...
How can you expect to learn when you can't even believe a word?
How can you condone a system regurgitating ignorance?

Static
03:04

Bone tired & wide awake
The sun creep closer with every single breath I take
Static television lulls my brain but does nothin' to suppress the pain
Wore my pencil thin
I bore a hole through the pages of my books again
Another night pent up inside this skin
In a world that always seems to spin
7 nights a week. Yeah Yeah
And no prescription can even bring me close to sleep
Standing on the brink of a fall
And I'm not too sure I even care at all
Hard driven and left to dry
I witness the new day with my ever burning eyes
Arrive at work at 4 past 9 to stumble through the daily grind
No end in sight no respite
Made some bad choices in hindsight
What could have been? I'll never know
And now I'm stuck here on my own
I guess you reap just what you sow

Long Lost
03:40
|
|||
|
Sifting through this mess
As I lay to rest the remnants of a love long lost
Livin' worlds a part
Words burned angry scars
And epitaph that I inscribed
What's left to say when we can't get our stories straight?
What's to lose? Another tell-tale lame excuse.
What's to do? I can't get by without you
Adding insult to these old injuries
The scarred remains of a friend long lost
Fearing only change
The printed last page
An epilogue that I inscribed

Cut Your Losses
02:06

Stand down, soldier
You're gettin out of line
No matter what they told you
It's the blind leading the blind
And you're falling too far behind
Nows the time to cut your losses
Or fall back into line
Stand up, Brother
You're runnin out of time
Forget what they told you
It's the blind leading the blind
And you're falling too far behind
Now's the time to cut your losses
Or fall back into line
Cut your losses, boy
Now is the time
Rewrite the history that left you behind
Cut your losses, son
This is your life
There's nothing left to lose
There's nothing left to prove

Diesel
03:02

|
I watched you from my room
You didn't even realize that I was there
I watched you pull the rug from beneath your own feat
Fell to the floor like a diesel crashing through my front door
You never asked if you r could crush my heart
And leave no recompense
Do you realize what you have done in your descent? No
I watched you from my dreams
Broken remnants of a strong person I once knew
Relief would only come when I would close my eyes
And in the morning I would wake to live in my nightmare
Maybe some day I'll understand
Exactly what you really left us for
I'd like some answers if you can just look me in the eye

One More Inch
02:38
|

|
You're too close to the edge, don't fall
The noose is hangin in the hall
One more inch, you'll only feel a pinch
Then you you won't have to think at all
You'll never have to think at all
You'll never have to face that wall
Come, let's go arm in arm
'Cuz you've already bought the farm
We can hold each other down
And never have to be alone
The mirror's still there, look inside
Or take the everlasting ride
What's behind that plastic smile?
The sour taste of rising bile
And don't forget to feed the fire
We'll dance around the funeral pire
You cower in corners and watch your spirit die
Because you're too damn scared to try
We only have a precious little time
And you have let yours dwindle by. Why?
