I'm watching the wind take everyone off of their feet and place them upon cars in the middle of the street Lights flicker on and off, but they never seem to go out They'll burn the brightest when no one is around
Throw your flares into the dark sea We'll swim and search until we find thee Buried beneath the coral and the sunlight We'll try to light the way
No riddle nor rhyme Can ever explain why The conscious mind when it runs dry The conscious mind has nothing to hide When left alone, their crawling around in me Go on and be gone, drift undertow
Sinking down and further from what I was once Reaching up and grabbing air and hoping no one Sees me scared to death from being grown up I am gone and looking down from every ceiling
You can laugh all you want I'll find myself on top of the world With a lightning bolt in the palm of my hand Ready to strike over and over again. I'll bestow upon you the burden of Love and its unkempt malevolent teeth Just smiling down at me It's taunting me
Why didn't I leave?
The problem with compromise Is one of us is never right The vanity of human heads Will kill the world's occupants
You are quivering when you speak
I know you're scared so follow me I'll lead us out of misery When the ground begins to crack Just know that I will have your back
There are ashes now where people were The greener grass is brown like dirt Apocalypse has reached its end It's time to begin new again
