Lyrics

Shady as the hand of a drunken thief I’m stealing back the ransom I used to be When the eyes above the world used to study me ‘til it changed around. I grieve another loss of identity Like the seething self control slipping away from me As I fall between the cracks in your marketing while you play me down. Another Zen to waste on. A label on a generation passing. Fiction is the world we see. The finish lasts so long. Lies and shallow information Unfocused stimulation Divert my rage and shake me down. Television high offending my control To represent my soul in colors but they’re faded now. I grieve another slide in my sympathy With another glass of anything to comfort me; I’m elated as a freak can be who’s been weighted down. Over my line. Lost in my hands. Shoulder my spine… Heavy as the pull from a passing wave I’m carrying the foresight from yesterday Limited by visions of my own decay; I’m deflated now. Staring at the day with a vicious nerve To magnify a world that is so absurd And I wish you all the happiness that you deserve so free me now.
