lyrics

Those governed minds, they never seem to let go
Mistaking opportunities like doors for windows
So when we speak up, to be shot down
It’s just the first step we need to take

I can’t shake this feeling
It’s just
Like you want me to fail
So call me failure
Misshapen frozen hearts
They do damage to those
That feel right
But, my life feels so wrong

When walls are clothing and exits seem to be so obvious
How about
When one door opens, jump out the fucking window
And every change has lead us to this
I can’t believe those empty footsteps
Played the role of your heart

So give it up give your life to something that you don’t understand
It’s uncanny how understanding you pretend to be
So what do we brand this new mistake of a man?
Another liar, another tire going down the same road

Don’t we push to feel someone pull?
Na
We push to feel someone’s love pull back

Pull back
Shed the skin of what’s obtuse and old
Elephants and donkeys are really just
Wolves and pigs in suits
Rolling around in their wealth killing chances for you

They're disguising themselves
in our red, white, and blues

Those goddamn suits
Give me the patriotic blues
Red, white, and blue
Stolen, mislead, and abused
People say that life is uncertain
Well are you certain your life should be here
Why should you base your life off of constants?
Instead of constantly questioning everything
Because you’ll never know
So give it up give your life to something that you don’t understand
It’s uncanny how understanding you pretend to be
So what do we brand this new mistake of a man?
Another liar, another tire going down the same road
Looks like you’re wearing the suit

With heath care or welfare
They will trap you
In the red, white, and blue
Stolen, Mislead, and Abused
