Go 02:33
It shakes, the ground keeps doing that, I guess it’s fighting back, now it’s skin is plagued Clever fools, so modest and appealing All reaching for the stars, keep pulling down the ceiling And you, you talk so well, But you just don’t listen. Kick out the fumes, bury the trees, Don’t need no scientists, when we can do as we please Fight to defend, are you born to colide? Are you speaking your fables, do you hide? If these lies, hold the world so steady, Just make them known

Just heard them saying, You’ve got yourself to blame, Standing divided, Standing so far away. They don’t do collective asperation now, it’s true, They don't do, Collective asperation. Now we’re lying and stealing, Get out of this place, get away from this feeling. For, now A sweet trap, a borrowed feeling A vegas nerve elavation, or an argon share sensation Slow down We don’t do collective asperation now, it’s true, We hurt hard and blame ourselves like good men do. So sure as hell, anger makes us stupid I'm a nervous man, Feels like I've got a good reason now. What a mess we’ve made, What a beautiful mess you made I can still hear them crying What a game to play, What fucking fucked up game to play I can still hear them crying

Pull and twist, with your stereo smile, Pick them up like a parent Let them down so painfully They all wish for a moment to call on You bend minutes round Melt them down like a second to spill. Paul he knows, She’s still aching to be, Tie my mind to her lungs, Tie your hopes to uncertainty Guess again as you follow yourself home, Will you do as you say? Will you do as you’re told? Cut them down, on your way No more bent, honesty Just know I hate pretending, Painful and, plain to see Waiting so patiently, Feels like a long time coming Settle down, all the way Cut them down, On your way

Foma 03:11
It’s all foma, and newspeak Dying to live, and screaming silently What’s the game, they’re all playing? No damn cat, no damn cradle, No more words to learn, it’s for the best. These pages speak so loud but they’re still drowned right out, By screens that scream and shout, blocking your questions out, It’s so hard to be afraid It’s so hard to be afraid, When you never stopped to think These boxes scream and shout, Chew up the words, And spit them out
5.
If this is the life, I’d rather be dead, Living to work, living dispair Honestly honesty, Never a share Please hold me down, And slit my throat, If count me out, Don’t rock your boat If these are the facts, You’d better be scared I could read and learn, Or drink and forget Promises promises, Don’t even dare. I’m getting a little ahead of myself, Just basking in beautiful torment, It won’t get you far. I struggle sometimes when I look but don’t see There’s no body listening, I wish I could be your voice
