lyrics

Some things in life they just go at their own pace
It could be the folks around me, even the toll gates
There’s no way to speed it up or slow it down for me
Taking a stand and now I’m sitting down so drowsily
Now I find myself outside of home without a key
Should’ve hidden one somewhere, but now it seems
I want to hide inside instead of lounge in crowded scenes
Hearts grimace to the finish lines of powder fiends

Adding up all the pieces, it’s a hill of beans
Playing king of the hill with guillotines, fulfill the dream
But does it make sense or start bewildering
Hoping to make dents, but still I build a string
Not quite at the end of my rope, but it’s frayed
Extending a note to all the players, what a game
In love with fame, chasing glimpses of what I’m not
But each reach confirms indeed I’m stuck within this box

I made my peace with purveyors of the vagaries
The layered vacancies of those who take the taste and squeeze
Remain at ease while some twist to find the traits and teeth
Can’t determine if it’s loss or gain, they make a wreath
A mock up pain macarena where the praise is reaped
Some often strain trying to find the words to bait the beast
So I observe, but don’t participate in all the games
A clique preying on the click bait to call them names

Shepherds guide the flock to give the wool to make the ski mask
Pulling over eyes, disguising lives inside of street traps
Sweating bullets, fashionistas sport a heat map
Another school shooting, cops statement retract
So believe the beast travels at the speed of lies
And wolf tickets are submitted for the reason why
Hold a beacon with a knife, in case the blade is needed
Illuminating through the hatred, taste parade of Eden
