"know your place"

It's like a voice

that wont't go away

like vices we hold to tradition

like children not allowed across the street

starving for some recognition

where want and honesty meet

nothing known can match the bitter pain

of knowing happiness is just beyond

the reach of your chain

and the overwhelming feeling it

will be the same forever



now here I am looking down a hole again

treating damage and despair like

they're long lost friends

with no remedy at all

i'm waiting for the fall

staring out the window 

like what's outside's unattainable



cover me with roses for the funeral pyre 

shoot this dashing carcass out to

fucking sea

I cant wait, in this state

this voice, these hands 

don't feel like they're really 

me



i'm the blinded who can feel

that he's surrounded by walls

and relief is very seldom cheap

now I think i'm gonna snap

like prey in a trap

watch as desperation takes a seat

forgive me my trespasses

like I know i'll trespass tonight

don't want to hear any voices at all

even if they're saying  i'm alright.



memorys beating soundly on the body

cursing what's left of the story shell

i'd give anything to make this heart

stop pounding

staring out the window

like what's outside's unattainable



cover me with roses for the funeral pyre 

shoot this dashing carcass out to

fucking sea

I cant wait, in this state

this voice, these hands 

don't feel like they're really 



now lifes like a b-movie

that no one wants to see

here comes the zombie

portraying me

what was once so crystal clear

is now cranked past the norm

and i can't take it anymore.



(your going to fight them after all)
