we’re servants to our betters, listen and obey All my friends are in the air, I’m raging with the rain Manipulate the smallest minds to get to heaven’s gate People come together, people separate Trip with me Allow me to Get high with me Get low with you One more time Those above will play with us, and build armies beneath If you feel you’re missing out, you’re in good company Hours stretch to lifetimes, don’t expect relief If your passions go unnoticed, you are your own elite It’s over when it’s over but it’s not over yet I’ll give you a line that you’ll never regret The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away And that’s all I got, all I got to say

What I want is what you’ve got and what I’ve got is no chance But you’re letting me think I’m gonna get somewhere if I act like a gentleman But you’re looking at me like I mean nothing to you You’re looking at me like you’re slightly amused You stop my heart, girl, my hollow heart And I like it, I like it Spit me out, I’m only living for you now Spit me out, why won’t you look this way Lead me on I’ll follow Got nowhere Else to go

She don’t give recognition She rests on reservation Prediction’s preservation I’m waking with the taste of fear I’m hanging off the shelf tonight I’ll hang my head if it’s all right Let’s all us snot nosed brats unite And sing about how to get it right We’ve reproduced successfully We’ve found no use for empathy you’re asking what, you’re coughing up whatever it was you were refraining from don’t panic, you’re a frequency just concentrated energy suffering and worshiping the crowd that remains is with the liars and the drains throw off, throw off, throw off your social chains throw out, throw out, throw out these old clichés I’ll be seeing you when I reach a higher plain why can’t we all just live our lives Why can’t I hold all of these limes

cry josannah 02:28
I can’t see in the right directions Stuck in some dead-end occupation Who’s calling out now Who’s bowing down now Who’s breaking out now Who’s crawling back now Hallelujah Cry Josannah A change is coming So say your prayers All our children will die young And we’ll mourn them, every one Eyes wide with insomnia Looking up for reassurance When it could be worse is the best you can do People always leave and I’ll be leaving too

I am no quick study Been reduced to hanging origami And furniture on your ceiling I exhale, I exist High school rebel friend You’re the culprit Metamorphosis How does one surrender everything All my little schemes How does one survive so long Desperate individuality Found the journals that you write I’ll sleep with a weapon tonight I just passed a while ago So let’s shelter the psycho In this beautiful spiral Everything is mystical In the kingdom of our skulls We will shelter all we know

Saturday nights are never wasted Two days is not enough weekend I gotcha, I gotcha I’d like to see you smile rather than see you grin Jezebel, wishing well Fell under your shiver spell I gotcha, I gotcha This was a story Self pity is a luxury
