I needed some help down on the old farm, I was wondering if you could come lend me an arm. I didn't mean to scare you or cause you any harm, I just needed someone to help silence the alarm. The locks on the cages have all rusted and snapped, but the pigs are happy just to play in their crap. The horses got free, I don't think they're coming back. I don't care for the sheep though, their fleece is ***** and black. I guess I'll just let them all stay out tonight, because getting them back alone is too much of a fight

Look at my lying like a dead deer on the side of the road, got hit by a metal monster rushing to get where he wants to go. Now all you machines with rubber wheels for feet, just roll on by, don't look at me. Here I'll stay for a month or two til mother nature has her way with me. The rain will fall and bloat up my corpse, then I'll wash away as it continues to pour.

Half is better than none
But I can't settle for less than whole
Half is still less than all
So I guess I'm selfish
I don't want to need this much
But I need more than what you say is enough

I've worn the masks that you all made
The face of the worker who's underpaid
The face of the student who flunked his test
I can't find one I like to wear best
I've seen through the eyes of an only child
One who's been held back from running wild
I've seen through the eyes of an orphaned son
Who's only wish is to be loved by someone
All these masks, one in the same
I wear them all, I wear this pain
On my sleeve this heart has bled
In the footsteps of others I've been led
Just who do I want to be today
I'll wear a new mask to forget yesterday
I've heard rejection through the ears of screamer
I've tasted defeat on the tongue of a dreamer
So many different faces
All heading to the same places
Together they hide what lies beneath
They exist just so you won't see me

I was out sailing across the great blue green sea
Searching for a friend and the meaning of my dream
I came across another ship that looked like it had been crushed to bits
Slowly I approached and let out a cautious call
I wondered if anyone could even hear me at all
Then from the wreck a little voice unleashed a helpless cry
I saw her holding onto a rope, floating alone just trying not to die
Her hair was dripping wet, clothes a soaking mess
Shed been there for more than a few days if it were up to me to guess
I left my post and walked down to the ledge
I offered my hand and pulled her up onto the edge
Within a moment our eyes had locked, shed forgot the life she lost
All she wanted was to be saved
But I threw her back and she sank beneath the waves

You're too afraid to take a single step out  towards your desire, because last time you tried you failed and got burnt by the fire. So you carry pails of water to extinguish every flame, and you'd be a liar if you said you weren't to blame for the darkened world that you have claimed

The demons that used to dissolve in alcohol have learned to hold their shape, and the terrors that used to tremble in smoke have learned to stand their ground, and the evils that used to evaporate in your presence have learned to keep you away
