Song Structure/Lyrics:
=====================
---> Play Intro (x1)
---> Play Riff 1 over
Nick:
  I can't free myself of the suspicion
  For your motives on your mission
  Some people live for the rules
  I live for exceptions
  Can't take part in the deception
  But I know just how it feels
  To wanna blow the world away
  Just to get to what is real
  It won't work 'cuz
  Everybody grinds to a halt now and then
  Everybody's game gets salt then again
  No matter what the papers say they're normal as they come
  Bodyguards, ball of wax, they hide behind the gun
  They get a panic pulse when they are so far from home
  To me that is the reason to continue to roam
  Exhiliration mix with the people skunk blazing
  Checking out the shows that are sadly unamazing
---> Play Riff 2 over:
Nick:
  Hostile Apostle who you following
  Negative energy that you're swallowing
  Some coked out malcontent
  Who's soul is up for rent
  Victim of lost soul Hostile apostle
SA:
  Unlimited time and space and nearest universal
  Light is what we're reaching for it's not rehearsal
  Follow this around follow this hustle
  Makin use of everything movin' all your muscle
---> Play Chorus over:
Nick:
  Angry Human leads impressionable boy
  To skulls and piercings and will to destroy
  All of your heroes speak nothing to me
  One emotion one tempo and no real feeling
---> Play Riff 2 over:
SA:
  In this field we are the presence of the thoughts you're missin'
  Keepin positive's intact from all the people dissin'
  Open your eyes look at who you're kissin'
  If you can't hear it people just listen
Nick & SA:
  Hostile Apostle who you following
  Negative energy that you're swallowing
  Some coked out malcontent
  Who's soul is up for rent
  Victim of lost soul Hostile Apostle
---> Play Chorus over:
Nick:
  Angry human leads impressionable boy
  To skulls and peircings and will to destroy
  All of your heroes speak nothing to me
  You don't have to be a prick just to be heavy
---> Play Riff 3A over:
SA:
  Changin' all the time changin all the same
  Change in this life and this eternal frame
  Warm in the sun refresh in the breeze
  Glow in the stars blossom in the trees
---> Play Riff 3B over:
SA:
  Livin' through life in infinite extent
  Spread undivided operate unspent
  No high no low no great and no small
  Build and bound connect and equal all
---> Play Outro (x1)
