oh ive never read a book that i couldnt put down if my life depended
theres just too many faces id rather stare
and writing now thats a different stage where my demons want a better wage
sorry boys, i dont think lifes that fair
We control our futures with
words and the flick of the wrist
and where we end up is just paced on perception
of others and the paths that we missed
some cultures they have blinders on and think the world is far from wrong
denial is just a blanket made of "im scared"
hopeless over seas and we destroy each other over greed
what am i to do now im buried six feet underground
and the maggots started eating at my brains
should i sit here playing coward in my final saddest hour
and hope my stories will remain
oh wellllllll
you know what ive been talking about
sometimes you just have to scream and shout
come on and let it all out
cant scream with dirt in your mouth
(we play god, every time we start, to speak our minds aloud
and what is made and also paved are the people we become)
Everything we create is based on things we individually experience
and if you're to scared to let your voice be heard vulnerable no one learns from your sins
if i sit you down soul to soul and try to break the news
the monsters gonna lose its grasp on you
but if we stand and do not sit, and cut out all this soul bullshit
the monsters gonna lose its grasp on you
what am i to do now im buried six feet underground
and the maggots started eating at my brains
should i sit here playing coward in my final saddest hour
and hope my stories will remain
oh yeaaaa
you know what ive been talking about
sometimes you just have to scream and shout
come on and let it all out
cant scream with dirt in your mouth
(we play god, every time we start, to speak our minds aloud
and what is made and also paved are the people we become)
