lyrics

hey the other day your test came back
and guess what youre insane
are things the same when you are downtown
screaming at the water falling from the sky
as the carpet road pulls idle cars along I-55
for miles

mutilation rates well lately theyve been off the charts
another isolator I do consider it my art
everyday we hide our artificial light from the sun
daytime comes around cover the over consume
there’s a little part of me that keeps on getting larger
questioning the fact that were all just made of water
and I dont know what I do know

in plains you dont recognize kids hide in lakes and bluffs
egos gone out for walk he'll be back when it wears off
youre young youre gifted and lately youve been slacking off
lackadaisic revelry has never been good
ancient stained malignancies run wild throughout your hardcovers
if you could change the past itd never be good enough
this world spins on a crooked plane have pinetrees always looked the same
and if so just whos to blame
when three becomes one youre to blame

you were never doubted
though your thoughts so clouded
standing alone you’re grounded
in an empty field once clouded
