16 Years |
The sun flies through the sky leaves darkness in it’s wake |
And now I hear the hellhounds barking at the gate |
To be honest sometimes I want you to relate |
This ain’t up for discussion it’s not a topic for debate |
Entrepeneurs that want to bottle up the hate |
And slap a label on the glass so hard that it’ll break |
And if you break it you buy it and we sold it by the case |
It’s ok if you just try it you can hold it to your face |
How close can you get without touching it |
How far removed can you get from the public |
Can you keep a secret? |
If not, can you tie a slipknot? |
Can you stand high up on this brick block? |
Listen to the clock tick tock and switch gears |
Are they all dancing now? |
Are you joining the party? |
Are just celebrating your life just by destroying your body? |
It’s a part of your psyche that I want to sightsee |
I dont need you as a tour guide and I dont want you to like me |
I was voted least likely |
That’s it just least likely |
So pardon me if I seem fiesty |
Bite my tongue like a bullet take a pull from the peace pipe |
Push past the low expectations of me each night |
I leave light in my wake and I moonwalk across the floor |
Until I hear the sex kittens all purring at the door |
There’s something outside that we all want |
But inside there’s an ex who marks a soft spot |
Till it rots and decays and then no one else cares |
It’s been 7 8 9 10 11 12 years |
Now I sell pennies to the well-wishers |
I fish through the coinslots |
I fall through a girls bait participate in boycotts |
I demonstrate a demon’s trade |
With a face void of thoughts |
If that don’t launch a thousand ships |
Than that’s a helen of troy’s loss |
There’s nothing in this horse |
It’s hollow it’s empty it’s entry will not be forced |
Like an eyesocket stripped clean of tears |
It’s been 13 14 15 16 years |
