A Fine Day To Exit

Looking out on a familiar scene There's no agreement in what we see Your perception lacks clarity And my perspective is blinding me Side by side Divided they stand Parallel lives running parallel with YOU To the point where our horizons divide My opinion is just a point of view And your position is the other side Caught up in our convictions we forget How our senses distort things we see We can't accept our differences But we can always disagree Side by side Divided they stand Parallel lives running parallel with YOU To the point where our horizons divide My opinion is just a point of view And your position is the other side Where I stand is not so far from YOU A different opinion is just another point of view Parallel lives running parallel with YOU To the point where our horizons divide My opinion is just a point of view And your position is the other side Parallel lives running parallel with YOU To the point where our ho...

A public service announcement followed me home the other day I paid it nevermind. Go away. Shit so thick you could stir with a stick- free Teflon whitewashed presidency We're sick of being jerked around Wear that on your sleeve Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, lord, Count your blessings We're sick of being jerked around We all fall down Have you ever seen the televised St. Vitus subcommittee prize Investigation dance? Those-ants-in-pants glances Well, look behind the eyes It's a hallowed, hollow anesthetized "Save my own ass, screw these guys" Smoke and mirror lock down Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, lord, Count your blessings The papers wouldn't lie! I sigh. Not one more It's been a bad day Please don't take a picture It's been a bad day Please We're dug in the deep the price is steep The auctioneer is such a creep The lights went out, the oil ran dry We blamed it on the other guy Sure, all men are create...

Once I had my heroes Once I had my dreams But all of that is changed now The truth begins again The truth is not that comfortable, no Mother taught us patience The virtues of restraint Father taught us boundaries The knowledge we must go I'm trying to protect my unity   That's when I reach for my revolver That's when it all gets blown away That's when I reach for my revolver The spirit passes by this way A friend of mine once told me His one and only aim To build a giant castle And in it sign his name Sign it with complete community That's when I reach for my revolver That's when it all gets blown away That's when I reach for my revolver The spirit passes by this way Now that the sky is empty And that is nothing new Instead they look upon us When they tell me That we're nothing I say! That's when I reach for my revolver That's when it all gets blown away That's when I reach for my revolver The spi...

I hurt myself today To see if I still feel I focus on the pain The only thing that's real  The needle tears a hole The old familiar sting Try to kill it all away But I remember everything What have I become My sweetest friend Everyone I know goes away In the end And you could have it all My empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt I wear this crown of thorns Upon my liar's chair Full of broken thoughts I cannot repair Beneath the stains of time The feelings disappear You are someone else I am still right here What have I become My sweetest friend Everyone I know goes away In the end And you could have it all My empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt If I could start again A million miles away I would keep myself I would find a way
