// Lyrics //
A smarter person than me one day 
Said they didn’t always have the right words to say 
But the feeling deep inside my chest 
The one that will not let me rest 
Says the world could be so much better 
But I digress 

Its not that I know 
The right thing to do 
Its that letting ourselves be scared 
Is what lead us to 

Hey, 
I’m not allowed to feel that way 
They don’t like it, I can’t help it 
I don’t mean to be so selfish 
Hey, 
I’m not allowed to feel that way 
Im not tone deaf, I can hear it 
Heartbeat of 
Revolution’s spirit 

So carry on do we 
And we end up arguing 
Even though we agree 
But time spent fighting 
Is time well spent 
As long as it’s not to circumvent 
The other person. but the establishment 

They’re gonna have to learn to live with it 
If they don’t like it

// Lyrics //
Who will be 
The first to speak 
Against police brutality 

Who can you trust 
Where do you start 
When everyone’s a fucking narc 

You’re just a pig 
Your skin’s not blue 
The brave and bold 
Don’t have to tell you 
That they’re brave, or bold 

Who will watch the Watchmen?

// Lyrics //
Keep the engine running 
Try not to look suspicious 
In and out, grab the loot 
Nobody needs to get hurt 

Act casual 
As you break the register 
Grab everything and run 
Act casual 

I never felt comfortable holding a gun 
But Ive been pushed too hard, now I’m the run 
Somebody called the cops, make a beeline for the door 
This is what I get for wanting more 

Act casual 
As you break the register 
Grab everything and run 
I’ve been pushed too far 
Make a beeline for the door 
I never felt comfortable holding a gun 

I think we tripped the alarm 
I hope nobodies seen my face 
I always knew one day that they’d come for me

// Lyrics //
Flick your wrist and ash on me again 
I’ve gotten used to the pain 
Feels like an old friend 
I won’t flinch as the needle breaks skin 
I’m loving now my medicine 
And used to withdrawalin’ 

Chapter ten 
The hero enters again 
He looks the same, and acts the same 
But no longer gives a shit 
We’ll do this all again 
It’s getting so embarrassing 
When will we use our heads? 

The curtain will arrive 
(And I’m ok with that) 
I feel it coming closer now 
(And now we can’t go back) 
What will I decide?

// Lyrics //
It’s fucking useless 
Like a conversation in an elevator 
You’re concentrated on the act 
You can be yourself later 

Surrounded all day long 
By sycophantic bullshit inbred morons 
Try not to think about the fact: 
It’s what you spend all of your time on 

I’ve no right to judge you 
And I know it’s a cliche 
You can’t take it with you 
So don’t let it take you away 

Walk in and they’re all up in your face 
Saying good morning 
How can one person be so 
Aggressively boring 

Face down on the desk in the afternoon 
Sneak off to the bathroom for two hours 
If you can’t see them then they can’t see you 
Don't lose yourself 
Don't lose yourself

// Lyrics //
You say I’ve got a problem 
Well, I say you’ve got one too 
My nature failed your nurture 
and here’s the roles we’ve grown into 

I will resolve to close my eyes 
Wait for you all to fade away 
You know I’m not one to complain 
(There is a place) 
Between burn the fucking world and take your place 
And I’ll remain 
A wastoid on display 

You call it nihilism 
I say I care more than you do 
You say I’m just a burn out 
OK I’ll give that one to you 

At first I was convinced I really cared 
Now I realize I fucking don’t

// Lyrics //
Open up with a joke 
You’re gonna be a star 
But we all know that one 
We’ve heard it a thousand times 
You might lose yourself in all of this 
Yeah, you might lose it but 
You’ll fit right in 


Safe inside my echo chamber 
I might let you inside 
(Lock myself up so tight, Never go outside) 
Welcome to my echo chamber 
Let’s sit and wait to die 
(Never asked for any of this, we don’t owe them an explaination) 

No more conflict 
I need assurance 
I need a break from actually conference 
I might lose myself in all of this 
If I was dead though 
Please don’t let me know 

Safe inside my echo chamber 
I might let you inside 
(Lock myself up so tight, Never go outside) 
Welcome to my echo chamber 
Let’s sit and wait to die 
(We never asked for any of this, we don’t owe them a single fucking thing) 

I don’t need anyone’s opinions 
I’ll lose some, almost win some 
I know I’m right 
I might win the fucking lotto 
At the bottom of a bottle 
I know I’m right

// Lyrics //
Show me something I can use 
A little trick 
A clever ruse 
Something that will keep them all confused 
'Cause I’ve been spending all my time 
Passed out on the floor at night 
Days spent 
To impress you 

Do you remember when I mattered? 
When I cared? 
When I had the whole world weeks ago 
Before I got so scared 
When I mattered 
When I cared 
When I had them all fooled weeks ago 
Before I go so scared 

So please slow down 
I’ll catch up if you let me 
Don’t give up on me now

// Lyrics //
I’ve done it! 
Full on stereotype 
Bottle of Paddy’s just to sleep at night 
Lacking vision 
Lacking fight 

And the liquor store on Bay Parkway 
Has part-time clerks that know my name, yeah 
Slurring words 
Stumble to my place 

I never meant to get this old 
(I’m good for nothing, truth be told) 
My youth was bottled, tagged, and sold 
I never meant to get this old 
Some make plans, I know I don’t 
What is my role? 
Man I don’t know 

I get it! 
All those songs they wrote 
About their friends having babies 
And buying homes 
And it’s not funny man 
It’s not a joke 

And the things that used to work for me 
Have become liabilities 
Littering my history 
With a list of enemies, yeah 

I never meant to get this old 
(I’m good for nothing, truth be told) 
My youth was bottled, tagged, and sold 
I never meant to get this old 
Some make plans, I know I don’t 
What is my role? 
Man I don’t know 

I never meant to get this old 
(I’m good for nothing, truth be told) 
My youth was bottled, tagged, and sold 
I never meant to get this old 
Some make plans, I know I don’t 
Man all I know 
Is fuck your roles 
Where’d the time go? 
Man I don’t know

// Lyrics //
Tell me how do you get what you want and stay happy 
Sacrifice for friends and stay complete 
Is there room for all your friends (your friends) 
Where your dreams should be (no way) 
How the hell do you get what you want 
And stay happy 

Tell me how do you justify your blind belief 
Say that you accept all 
But you’re giving me grief 
Is there room for rationality 
(In the space that your god keeps) 
Tell me how do you justify 
Your blind belief 

And I think I’m getting close to knowing the score 
(Yeah, I think I’m getting close but I’m really not sure) 
Will I be a person who knows 
(How to get what you want and stay happy) 
Well, I really hope so

// Lyrics //
Im so fuckin’ normal 
So fuckin’ wasted 
So fuckin’ over 
This whole fuckin’ scene 
But I’m stuck 

And I’m asking for trouble 
When I ask anyone I know for help 
They love me so much 
They’re afraid of what 
I might do myself 

And I’m too self aware 
For the good of my mental health 
And I’ve been running scared 
Down the path of least resistance 
Away from help 

Not to get lost, or to change the subject 
I just want the truth, I’m so tired of lies 
Remember when they said 
I’d get better? 
Did it make you smile? 
I admire that drive 

So go back, go back, go back to when you lost me 
And try to decide what you’d do if you caught me 
So go back, go back, go back to when you lost me 

And I’m too self aware 
For the good of my mental health 
And I’ve been running scared 
Down the path of least resistance 
Away from help

You best believe you’re guilty 
Listen up man, here’s your chance 
Try a little self-awareness 
Show some pride 
Some class 
You fuckin’ namby-pamby 
Mom’s not here to save your ass 
You can ask her for advice 
The next time she drops off the rent 

Your act is paper thin 
We can see right through you
