I'm sorry for getting to this point
still something inside me feels human
I just lost track of those times
when it was just you and me
we were the only ones
we both saw what happened
and no one but us knew
and I got lost in all the times
I was the only 1
looking back, we were always all there,
and then I hear you yell down the stairs
I stand up to think of what I always would do
but I don't know what to do this time
then you yell again
I'm still down in the basement
its dark and I just pretend
I don't hear you
then I hide in my toybox
with my little tikes tape recorder
voicing threats to the status quo
unaware of the silent revolution
we have already inherited
