Lyrics:

All alone
Losing clarity
Lock the door
Turn the lights on

I know I’m wrong
So give me what I need
Put it to bed
Out of my head
Better again

smoke a bowl and then i autopilot, hmm
hope that no one knows whats going on behind my eyelids
the lights and sounds have never been so violent
iris huge i light the room all violet
eyes wide searching for some corner i can find some peace and quiet
hue the room in two just to climb inside the music
mighta went too far and sliced it stupid
float a boat inside the mind of cupid
ride that wave just because i like the movement
scar my inner ear with dirty q-tips
they sold me hope packaged and prepaid, labeled it nuisance 
told me i could use it
to make change
maybe make it great again
maybe make the light weight again
help me pay my dividends
and introduce me to a whole new group of friends
ah well,  guess its just "here we go again"
i apologize for giving in to fiendish hype
sold myself a lie knowing it was patronized come on

well i apologize for giving in to fiendish hype
sold myself a lie knowing it was patronized
tailor sized to keep the meat in line
and we all know we aint the prize, 
we see this kinda thing happen all the damn time

don't trap never lean
won't try knowing me
cuz that'd be the last thing
before my eulogy
maybe we should try a different means of reaching peace
cuz i can't seem to eat or sleep
static stream monotony
through day jobs and touch screens
good luck my little black sheep
i know that it's still hard to see
blinded by the frayed and fleeced
surrounded by the similar
deep inside the sepulcher
yea you were quick and clever
but it was swift and cleverer
shattered the shelter of 
"whatever the weather"
and exposed the bones below
our home buried deep beneath pleasure come on

All alone
Losing clarity
Lock the door
Turn the lights on

I know I’m wrong
So give me what I need
Put it to bed
Out of my head
Better again

my
what a life to leave behind
all i see is you and i
quick appeal to father time
please supply some furlough
seems to be a decent fellow
despite his sticky hands and 
apparent love for low blows
i was acting loco
made a meal for patient lobos
quickly went the way of dodos
oh no, seems to me we need to be more thorough
pulse is slow but clearly there are thoughts within
diligent in observance
speaking into coffins lest
we entomb the very subjects of our humble offerings
leaky streams of consciousness
spilled without a pad or pen
spoken to an audience
of bodies without oxygen
floating, don't know where it ends
guided by a careless wind
stuck inside your ear until you clear it with a javelin
or drown it in your favorite gin
is it poison or a medicine?
i believe they lock the truth behind a Cheshire grin
and they wont let us in

they wont let us in

poster child for decomposure
compose a lie for the exposure
don't know why i just supply the vultures
with enough ammunition to make carrion of nations
filling hospitals with pacing patients
every victim faceless, every number nameless
and every power pusher blameless
for the lives they've taken
but now the giants move beneath the pavement
live on the scene and we demand a statement
you been king for long enough and we decree a state shift
your seat is better vacant
we come like Joshua to seize the land of Canaan
while you stay complainin'

money hungry while we been stuck just plain hungry
you wipe our noses like you think they're runny
buried to our necks in loans and you think its funny
yea we patient, but just a stones throw from gettin bloody
trust me buddy

All alone
Losing clarity
Lock the door
Turn the lights on

I know I’m wrong
So give me what I need
Put it to bed
Out of my head
Better again

Focused
