lyrics

Made a statement I can’t relate and you shoved it in my face, You said the choice was mine to make So I chose second place
While I lay down my complex intentions Retreating from provoked ambition, A fallen angel with no shot at grace But a slight tendency to save face
You’re all systematically giving me faith To pursue the verdict with unwavering haste, Searching with suburban eyes that find I’m more than the fears I’m survived by
More than anxiety I ascribe by, More than laws I apply by, Still nomadic at heart, it wasn’t a waste, Just a phase that contributed better days
Standards and practices of words and phrase Victimizing a pen to this page, I’m sure we’ve all thought of better ways To make it through the day
9 to 5 away an inevitable waste Of good energy on flat pace, I’ve certainly succumbed to similar ways So I understand the need for space
But I’ve broken down neurons with lesser intentions And hidden our romance to the negligent ethics, The perverse majority’s drowning lessons Just chalk it up to misdirection
Buried bare-backing my own benevolence And circumventing crucial crash course sessions To titillate the titans that can tease my essence, A proud few that thrive to consume my message
You asked “how’s life outside the box?” I replied, “It’s been a humbling presence living life knowing it could end mid sentence but every moment makes it worth the reverence”
Every time Mike said "smile" I listened, Smirked away the patterns of confliction, The ouroboros of addiction’s a tattered commitment So I’m turning in my submittance
Set fire to methane skies promoting indifference While crumbling interiors keep the world at distance ‘til a pair of eyes best serves my interests My words will ignite like the wings of Icarus
You’re savin’ the addict by supporting addictions, I’m growing up by learnin’ to ignore restrictions Faint reminders of fading convictions Parading truths through science fiction
