Shout off the rooftops
Turn it to vapor
the subsides stop
allowances taper
Lace up those high tops
tie a double knot
Debt scabies blackouts
What else we got?
You don’t have the answers
You have no proof that it’s worth it
Rendered insignificant
call it college call it crash course
A slut shamed 70 percent
goes out into the work force
What did we do it for?
Art Class War
Don’t want to pay for more
Art Class War
We chase our tails and shadow box
No one rewinds the ticking clocks
Change isn’t always good
progress is never bad
Some sublimate
Some lure
Some have
And some are had
We don’t agree
But we’re not wrong
It’s not what we see
It’s how we belong
Wouldn’t want my kidney
How bout a tooth
It’s not worth it
Take our stage
Set it on fire
Wont make me more true
To call you a liar
Shackle the brain trust
And we start to rust
Implode or combust
Our dreams turn to dust

coming of age
when the
pendulum swings
towards the rage
futures are waged
on the promise of a guilded cage
a waif a sage burned down their podium
they thought her an ingrate
let poisoned pages burn
we have so much more to earn
leave all that's left for fun
short wide tall and thin
two steps backwards to begin
whichever way you turn
is an opportunity to win
all you
have to do
is move
to find your groove
No thanks to spanx
don't need no scuba suit
no banks
or tanks
just scoot or get the boot
i've got a horn to toot
don't like it I don't give a hoot
nothing we have to be
can't stop us from being free
all you have to do is move
to find your groove

Hailed
Why
Evolution's
Failed
Finish what you started
for the sake of it
don't let sense get in your way
tomorrow's another day
that territory's charted
that rulebook has been tossed away
yeah, tomorrow's another day
so now who will you obey
so now who will you obey
is that you talking to me
is that you talking to me
will you
know what
to do
when you
discover
that there's
no one
left but you
to answer to
you're nothing once
my faith in you
escapes
If you cared at all
you might have noticed that i'm done listening
and i'm not sure
which one of us
is more frightened by the thought
that purpose has departed
so tell meeeeeeee
now who will you obey
so now who will you obey
you can't stop talking to me
just can't stop talking to me
you're forming sentences from
someone else's thoughts
so i know now
not to let them
sink in
what do you expect us to be
when you can't help but
run from mirrors
cus you'll have to face
that they're all broken
They're all broken
They're all broken
rippling waters
shattered glass
fleeting focus
shadows cast
no more forest
only trees
it's enough to bring you
to your knees

Couldn't even make it last
got nothing to show
now here we go
repeat the past
in spite of what we know
didn't think you had a care
so you ignored the signs
couldn't anticipate the scare
and now you've closed the blinds
you think you want it
but don't know where to start
you feel you've lost
now you don't have the heart
damn the sand
no ones land
we are all just visitors
that staked a futile claim
act as if we know whats best
then find someone to blame
nevermind the lofty crest
there's nothing left to tame
looks as though we failed the test
its time to face the shame
take the stand
cus we aren't...
Built to last
damn the sand
no ones land
Built To Last

keep rooting for the past
get right in their own way
knowledge is not so vast
ain't got much left to say
dull boys will kick a hornet's nest
pass the time as it may
most of them think they know what's best
and they don't think you're supposed to sing that way
dare not embrace a change
don't leave the post in fright
not ones to rearrange
what goes bump in the night
when they decide they know whats right
there is a price to pay
they instigate a fatal plight
cus they don't think you're supposed to sing that way
keep aiming for the glass
bloody the path you pave
Blowing em up en masse
dig your own early grave
shut out the cries just smile and wave
can't be what you do all day
you always took and never gave
and we don't think you're supposed to sing that way

What now?
Who bleeds for your power?
Please don't say it's cus you don't know how
Serve
Protect
Harm
Collect
No fair
no fair
Why should we pay
First do no harm
No fair
The jobs not done
And how
You rule from your tower
Shut your eyes and then you take a bow
Preserve
Object
Alarm
Eject
What exactly do we pay you for?
No fair
no fair
Why should we pay
Sound the alarm
Who gave this guy a gun?

I'm Something borrowed
You’re something blue
Say you want to Celebrate me
But only in the girdle
that was forged to keep me in line
you're no purveyor of the good life
happy husband happy wife
i shouldn't do what I am told
cus all that glitters isn't gold
Go ahead and depilate me
only in the regions they approve
Say you want to elevate me
But it's so high it's unsafe to move
you're no purveyor of the good life
happy husband happy wife
Why should I do what I am told
And just let you make my blood run cold
I'm not your party
no one invited you
and I'm not sorry
for what I am forced to do
we're no team, are we?
I shudder to think of
how you would react
if you only knew
I'm Something borrowed
You’re something blue
If you only knew

They say don't stare at the sun
they don't want you to have no fun
they'd rather you hide at your desk
or underneath it actually might be best
he failed the hidden camera test
but their minds were made up before
think they don't need you anymo-o-ore
isn't that the start of every war
Ok
How about this
Let's pretend that
there's no purpose
I-magine that, go ahead
choose your fate
r u so afraid
to kno-o-o-ow
what it is
to lo-o-Ove
that you hide
behi-I-I-ind
their hate
So you don't wanna hurt no one
but you harbor nothing more
than your need for creature comforts
and you won't help settle the score
where to run to
who to ask
easy to say
when it's not your back
pressed against the wall
2x
when you leave others
with no where to go but forward
you'd better get used to bein' eclipsed
Eclipse thiiiiiiis

Take that cigarette from Johnny Carson’s mouth
Abort abort abort abort
Either way we head south
Can’t help being scared
After being scarred
Apple eaters or the serpentine
What’ll it be C02 or Turpentine
Don’t have any water would you like some wine?
Apple eaters or the serpentine
What’ll it be C02 or Turpentine
Don’t have any water would you like some wine?
All in all he says it’s your word against mine
All in all he says it’s your word against mine
All in all he says it’s your word against mine
Who says it has to stay that way?
Insulate don’t absorb the shock
Roll Roll Roll Roll
Don’t Rock Don’t Rock
Swim or Fly
Either way we die
Apple eaters or the serpentine
What’ll it be C02 or Turpentine
Don’t have any water would you like some wine?
Apple eaters or the serpentine
What’ll it be C02 or Turpentine

All in all he says it’s your word against mine
All in all he says it’s your word against mine
All in all he says it’s your word against mine
Just Say, “What, like it’s hard?”

bulldozed
force fed
he chose
they bled
throw a hand grenade but
never mind where it lands
forced to take the streets
when we're left out in the cold
by a system that he beat
tethered to a broken mold
why should we when he
certainly doesn't
what is shouldn't be
if it weren't
if it wasn't
red pill
blue pill
no fate
no chill
predatory lenders
come out of the woodwork
ready to cushion their fall
part of the problem
never the solution
one for one
and none for almost all
shut down the government
board a plane with a firearm
a bathroom attendant
will hand you a breath mint
but no wall can keep you from harm
braving the elements
pay to konmari your yurt
can't blow the roof off dissidents
who never hid cus pain don't hurt
