Too Loose

Too many lies when I was seventeen

And now I'm keeping up time with you

Short sounds of apocalypse

And my world's torn out of view

It's always the same

They want to lock you down inside

They won't let you try

I realize it's all the same when the lights dim down to pray

Through the eyes we paralyze but the world won't stop today

Did you rise for someone else?

Were you afraid to be yourself?

We've waited all our lives for the chance to come undone

We spit asides and we ruminate

About the false sense of it all

Life's short and the spirit falters

All the weak will do is crawl

In broken time

To conclusions we've assigned

We sacrifice and burn

To steal convention all away

We try to paint the future

Somehow we sterilize today

With an audience complicit

We change the lies to gold

In our septic disaffection

Still function as we're told

As we're told
