Exactly where should I begin?
Forgive me father, I have sinned
Caught perpetuating wrongs
I screamed an accusation
Yet convinced that still I can
Somehow be better than I am
If I could only bring myself to step in one direction
Now all the progress I have made has left me bitter and afraid
Ill bolt the doors and let the trappings of my life surround me
And hope to God nobody calls
Ill trust the scratching in the walls
To be my comfort and my shelter from the world around me
Ignore the whisper on the wind
Forgive me father, I have sinned
Right now I swear Id cling to anything youd care to show me
To save me from improper thoughts, a modern miracle of sorts
Against the tide of advertising and survival only
A precondition has been set
And every new potential threat must be eradicated from the face of all thats sacred
And none shall stand before the cause
Ill be hysterically yours
And deaf to any reason, evidence or explanation
So tell me what have I become?
A middle finger to the sun
I traded fireworks for love and I was left with nothing
But paper shards and empty shells
A burst of sulfur blown to hell
It just might be that all this history has taught me something
Its taking lessons from the past
I wont build anything to last, but engineer to fall apart the day the warranty expires
So keep the wheels turning round
Keep the flag pinned to the ground
Just dont look back and dont look down
In fact, just dont look at all
Or youll see opinion dressed as fact and definitions inexact
Explain away the darkest days as misinterpretation
It's like the dumbing down
It's the dumbing down
It's the dumbing down,
It's so uncouth
Like theres one single fucking truth
Like good and bad or right and wrong could be so uncomplicated
Swagger dripping from the stage
I curse the impatience of the age
It all takes time, and time is money
Money talks, and talk is cheap
Cheapest road to lead the way
From seed to forest in a day
And by the time the sun is set theres only dirt and matchwood
So could it be the end is nigh
And the time for idly standing by is now upon us?
Everybody look to some distraction
I throw my patience to the wind
Forgive me father, all my sins
Feel like they're woven double-stitched into the fabric of the world
