I can't stand society
I can't handle sobriety
And I don't know why
But I can't see
What this world has got for me

Too many people are here today
Too many idiots in my way
I don't know why
I choose to stay
There's got to be another way

I hate having to wait in long lines
I hate hearing about changing times
Everywhere I go
I can't find
A single reason not to lose my mind

go ahead, do whatever, just be stupid
going with the flow just isn't worth it
there's no point to live if you don't live by your own purpose
The ideas of others may get you far, but they'll rarely let you be who you really are
Sometimes it gets so hard to see, when all their shadows grow around me
They all stare down at me, eyes filled with pity, hoping i'll be what they've grown to expect

Never make fun of anyone other than yourself
Always have at lease one good bottle of liquor on your shelf
Do not pray daily if you are just scared of hell
If you want to find heaven you must build it yourself

Never ask more of those who can't help themselves
Always drink in excess and toast to your health
Do not fear death because once you're gone there's nothing else
Only the possibility that we'll expand beyond our current selves

Some people are like bombs, just waiting to go off
Waiting for that spark that's sure to set them off
Just dying to explode, their reasons sometimes unknown
Maybe they were made to blow, but some of them will never go
Lying dormant, no fire for the fuse
Waiting silently, just longing to be used

I try to be something
Most often I'm not
I used to be someone
Who I am forgot
I can be nothing
It's still more than I've got
I think I'm no one
Don't ever tell me I'm not
The only reason I've made it at all
I've faked my way through every fall
I pretended that I could hold a presence
Every action and every word
Used to keep hold of my world
Abandon the truth
Forget the past
There is no proof
Just make this last

Take a breath
push it out
Clear your mind
escape from doubt

Now take a seat
spin the spoke
Pull the smoke
Let your life and mind meet

A rush of sight, colors rapid and bright
The sound of screaming static
And explosions up in your attic
*now's the time for you to breakthrough
you're falling away from the world that you knew
into the void of your entire existence
free from the weight of universal resistance

I can be better again
I know it
I know it
I know it
But I haven't done a **** thing to show it
My mind, all I've done is try to slow it
With drugs and *** come freedom from anything real
High enough is only when I can no longer feel
When I can't feel the pull of gravity ******* anything it can into my heart
When I can't feel the anger that crashes and thrashes til' I'm torn apart
All these things the cover me and hide me from the truth
All the signs that show I'm just denying the written proof
Because I refuse to listen to my friends who should know best
Because I refuse to lie with those who offer a place to rest
On my own, I've always felt I must
Because any bridge that doesn't burn will just rust and turn to dust
I've abandoned all who I've feared would do the same
I've given up on playing because I thought I'd lose the game
