Lyrics The Shapeshifter - Deadlights

The Shapeshifter

Falling out of place,
I found my feet in outer space.
I saw you there & it was so uncomfortable.
You said you weren't alone,
& That the earth is temporary.
The things you say, they don't
Strike me as your own.
A backwards thought takes hold a crowd,
But no one can say it out loud.
Passive aggressive tyrants,
Claiming to be giants.
Well I don't believe in mind control,
But I can't shake this feeling that I'm involved.
In something I don't understand,
If it's sinister or a master plan
Standing in place of the sun,
I'll watch from above.
The problems we've caused leave no clouds to make shapes from.
Only troubles we choose to ignore.
Now I realize,
It's not gravity pulling me down.
Someone's got in your ear
& Reminded you the strength of fear.
Don't give it in you're so
Much more than skin & bones.
Heart shaped lungs scream out for the unborn children,
Entering the world to be one of the billions
Of people here stuck in this rut (alone).
Heart shaped lungs scream out for the unborn children,
Entering the world to be one of the billions
Of people here with an uneasy feeling in their gut.
Don't fix it if its not broken,
I'm afraid it could be busted beyond repair.
I won't be helpless,
How do you just sit there?
Content with the life you've chosen,
Close & safe with everyone's nose in it.
Where did I sign my name on the dotted line?
Standing in place of the sun,
I'll watch from above.
The problems we've caused leave no clouds to make shapes from.
Only troubles we choose to ignore.
Now I realize,
It's not gravity pulling me down
& I must have missed the head count.
If I could make my voice clearer.
If I could make my point stand out.
Then maybe they would notice.
Radio silence echoes through the air.
I must've missed the headcount,
‘Cause there's people everywhere.
Radio silence echoes through the air.
‘Cause nobody's answering any of our prayers.
I can see a mans hands stretched out up toward the sun.
He's begging for his life back and his wrongs to be undone.
(If I could make my voice clearer, If I could make my point stand out)
Well I don't believe in mind control
But I can't shake this feeling that I'm involved,
In something that I can't understand,
A sinister plan.
