I wonder what it takes to be like you So blinded by the lies you think are true In confidence, you strut your ridged plain Unaware that you are walking on a plank Fear Worn like sheer took to wind and away I wonder Are you happy when alone? Do thoughts of Doubt reveal themselves at home? emotions suppressed, do they flood the surface Of the barge you have built to resist Growing large demons form in a cyst You stand and call yourself a man, but Oh Boy, I have met your kind before Stuck in your ways like a kid on a train Riding tracks that have no end in store Oh Boy, you are in for a ride I wonder why it is you choose not to see A world as it is, as you are, Just be free From the armor of ignorance you wear outwardly Grab at the chance to wash rust from The skin underneath Your perception like chainmail, linked with deception, traps truth that is needing to breathe You think you know the lay of the land, but Oh Boy, I have met your kind before Stuck in your ways like a kid on a train Riding tracks that have no end in store Oh Boy, aren't you in for a ride Oh Boy, You walk on a bridge made of sand Hallucinate the belief you've found land But what will you do when your men turn to you, and you realize you're without a plan Oh Boy, where then do you stand? Stuck in your ways like a kid on a train Oh Boy, you are in for a ride

Oh Boy
I wonder what it takes to be like you So blinded by the lies you think are true In confidence, you strut your ridged plain Unaware that you are walking on a plank Fear Worn like sheer took to wind and away I wonder Are you happy when alone? Do thoughts of Doubt reveal themselves at home? emotions suppressed, do they flood the surface Of the barge you have built to resist Growing large demons form in a cyst You stand and call yourself a man, but Oh Boy, I have met your kind before Stuck in your ways like a kid on a train Riding tracks that have no end in store Oh Boy, you are in for a ride I wonder why it is you choose not to see A world as it is, as you are, Just be free From the armor of ignorance you wear outwardly Grab at the chance to wash rust from The skin underneath Your perception like chainmail, linked with deception, traps truth that is needing to breathe You think you know the lay of the land, but Oh Boy, I have met your kind before Stuck in your ways like a kid on a train Riding tracks that have no end in store Oh Boy, aren't you in for a ride Oh Boy, You walk on a bridge made of sand Hallucinate the belief you've found land But what will you do when your men turn to you, and you realize you're without a plan Oh Boy, where then do you stand? Stuck in your ways like a kid on a train Oh Boy, you are in for a ride
