Introduction 00:57
This is not real life This is art This is not art This is real life This is not music It's just a bunch of screamin' shit

Tear down the walls of this opera house This place is much too crowded for this conversation Are the plains still wide? Begat bocephus, repeats of premiers Eating forever from the left hand Standing up, standing erect I don't know why I thought that I needed this And here I stand, rifle poised and a tear in my beer. And smoke in my eyes. November on my mind.

You do not know me, nobody knows me I do not know me, who the fuck am I? I do not know you, nobody knows you Who the fuck are you? Show yourself to me. I am all you want and needed, if you scorn me you'll regret it. If you smile when you approach me I'll be pleased and I'll reward you If you won't be mine forever you're wasting my time and money

Freedom isn't everything it's cracked up to be. Without direction I just don't know what to do. I'm just floating through life for no reason and with no purpose. I cast off myself, finding comfort in submission Not a care or worry in the world Nothing's in my hands I can't drop the ball Give me a sign, just to prove me right, but even if you don't I'll still be just as sure. Guide my hand. Without you I don't know what I'd be capable of Better safe than sorry

Lights Camera Action Reaction I remember when this was fun. I remember when this wasn't a competition. I remember when this was fun. I remember from when I dreamed about it. Right Down the alley They're waiting with a bag of gold

Freedom is a sacred thing, this moment's all I need Fuck the far-off future, I can't see that far. I meditate with boredom I alleviate with weed This is not a moral, this is only me This is all I need, I am everything, salvation in me If I had a diary it would be filled with things you wouldn't want to read. You wouldn't understand We're monsters under beds. We're cats stuck in trees. We're slaves to our doubts and no one's fucking free This is all I need, I am everything, salvation in me

His hands grow cold as Holy water fills his lungs I cry for help, but the men in the lifeboats speak in tongues His hands grow cold as Holy water fills his lungs I cry for help, but help never comes Angels surround us to drag the corpse away leaving me alone with no way to get home (I sit and wait, my hopes invested in a search party that never comes, and was likely never dispatched. No one cares for me and I hate everyone. I realize I'm as happy here as anywhere, a scarecrow doing crucifiction yoga. I hope no one ruins my solitude.)
10.
It seems like everyone I know speaks a different language than me I can't tell a soul the things that occupy my brain from day to day No one would relate and with blank stares they'd think I'm crazy. Maybe I'm crazy but I'm tired of explaining myself. I cannot explain the lack of participation I cannot explain the lack of comminication I cannot explain the lack of precipitation I cannot explain I cannot explain anything
