Lemme guess the early bird got herself a worm
But now she's bitter and cynical at the rest of the world
She just doesn't understand the hurt
Watching the blood run like paint down the front of her shirt
Now she's in her own world, doesn't say a word
But I can hear her clearly, eye's scream "don't come near me!"
No, this isn't how it ends I know I need a better cause
These laws they wrap around me tend to permeate my tissue soft
But I'll remain strong dammit
Standing on 2 broke legs for as long as I have two
And when the cause calls to me no more
May I fall to the land and return to soil again
Now tell me this, you don't know that much about life, do you
Let me take you underneath my broken wing and ruin it
Cause we are specimens suspended in the gelatin
Studied to no end in the name of progress, but it's evident
Evidence we leave behind is eaten like breadcrumbs
Screams that we echo through these halls hail from dead lungs
I run in place for days to contemplate the actions
But the truth is these patterns more or less resemble madness
And it saddens me to realize it's only been a year
Days extend and sense of self begins to fade
I no longer stand intrepid in the face of my dreamscapes
Cause now I travel inquiery with no gifts for the illiterate
And spit shamelessly in the the face of my incubus
Cause the season of longing is the no longer the hell
That I have slipped into with no way back out
Take my hand, we'll hop the train together
And abandon all this for something better
Remember? How we dreamt of it together
The cold winter night we first spent in my bedroom
Asleep at the helm of another misfortune
Abhorent and sickly, coughing all over what we had
Take me home, this rian isn't stopping
And tomorrow morning the petricore will surly absorb us all
Tossing and turning for these days on end
I just can't get their goddamn nmaes out of my head
Lost more than your acceptance, lost more than my firends
I lost the state of mind that came with my safe childhoods end
X years of age and labeled a cynic
Cause when I look up around me I don't see anything differnt
There are some of us who cannot wait to get pissed
Like carnivores we feed on the flaws in exisance
So stay with me and witness this gross display of innocence
I'll work this machine until it's stripped of it's skin prison
Dying in sunbeams, feeling how you wish to
If only every morning could be this increadible
There has to be some way of cheating the system
Someone rig the axel, grease up the pistons
Don't just settle, shoot for maxcimum efficiency
If practice makes perfect we'll get this eventually
Someone pound the nails out, tak the frame apart
I hear inside lies a begrudgingly still betaing heart
Let's take it out to study it, run around, have fun with it
'Til One of us trips and breaks the damn thing in their pocket
But we'll glue it back on because it's moms favorite part
And today is not the day that I get grilled for your mistakes
Cause if we don't try hard enough the memories depart
And you will never interupt the oceans tides with your name again
(Take my hand we'll hop the train together
And abandon all this for something better)
Now there's no wa to folow yellow bricks out of Oz
No more backwood trails around the loss
(Take my hand we'll hop the train together
And abandon all this for something better)
Cause wecan't keep the past, can't create fact
So hold on for life to the pieces that you have
(Take my hand we'll hop the train together
And abandon all this for something better)
And so good riddence on whoever robberd us of this
Searching for a purpose in the rubble of the obelisk
(Take my hand we'll hop the train together
And abandon all this for something better)
There's gotta be something better
