in no shape or form
have i felt forlorn
i am reborn by your touch
inside a storm
my mother warned
my skin was torn for your love
your father told me
brash and bold he swore
i stole your dreams
but i heard your voice
and i backed your choice
scared as any boy could be
never before have i felt so warm
when theres ice outside my window
well i broke the rules
to not break your heart
a man's a fool to put love below law
never before have i felt so warm
when theres ice outside my window

I have a cure for all of the impure
Endure all of the lures that’ll blur your vision as you return to the center
Where our books and our records burn
And all the thoughts we have bought; they will all for sure rot
We are robots that are taught “We do not lose when fought”
The plot is shot if a shot lands on our own lot
If the economy isn’t flourishing, we are not happy
Cause
Everybody Loves Cash
We must buy the supply if it’s in front of our eyes
Deep-fried Jesus Christ on Ice wins a Nobel Prize
The larger size, the prices rise
Burn the cash, fill the skies
Dilated eyes, pharmasized
That’s the normal life
What we perceive on TV screens and magazines made for teens
Jewelry and clothing that’s supposed to make us look pretty
Hypocrisy; that we believe it’s all “look at me”
We don’t need trees
We don’t need trees
We got our own green
Cause
Everybody Loves Cash

out of our pockets and into our hands
thats the only system that we understand
out of our minds and into the sky
our thought clouds rain down right above where we stand
do you ever feel like youre losing your mind?
like you could find it 'round the corner if you could just unwind?
if you're just standing there could you please
open the cage?
cause its all the rage
to stare blankly into space
out of the way and into the meadow
whenever the day breaks that when we go
where the wise sit upon the oak growth
and discuss how much none of us dont know
or know or will ever know
do you ever feel like youre losing the time
to a vaccuum in the clock that cant help but unwind?
if youre just standing there could you please
open the cage
cause its all the rage
to stare blankly into space

Let’s give up our plans
Shake politician’s hands
Maybe they can help us
Or maybe not
In my bed I digress from the demons I see
I recover under covers from the scars that cover me
Oh, you should see
Existence
It doesn’t make sense
To sleep in bed all day
And wake up still tired
Never seen better days than I have nights
Know what they say about men who choose darkness over light
Well, they were right
Tell them what you heard
You never can be sure
Cause words are just words
And nothing has meaning
(sleep through hurricanes)
Kingdom come has found me
Watching the news on my TV
And my head feels so heavy
And I can’t close my eyes
My own repose to dispose is to close my eyes
Awake I question, but the answers in my dream I will find
Nevermind
I'll sleep through hurricanes
I'll sleep through hurricanes
Don’t wake my tired brain
I’ll sleep through hurricanes
The shadow veil used to sail on the black ocean
Has steered me well into a vast oblivion
The day is done
Tell them what you heard
You never can be sure
Cause words are just words
And nothing has meaning
(sleep through hurricanes)

I wish that a ghost would haunt me
Speak through the speakers in my bedroom
Bring around a new sense of gloom
I wish that a ghost would haunt me
Be the fog in my headlights
Tell me about the afterlife
If I go dead in my bed could I just keep on sleeping?
I wish that a ghost would haunt me
Strange noises on the stereo
Tell me when and where I’m gonna go
I wish that a ghost would haunt me
Take me to the garden of soul
Teach me how to rock n roll
If I go dead in my bed could I just keep on sleeping?

I see you medicine men are all speechless
If you don’t like our leadership you can just impeach us
I got the taste of blood in my mouth
It’s not coming out
We make policies up when we hear the
Wind whispering them into our ears
You can’t blame us
We’re only doing what were allowed
I want a rifle
I want a false speaking Bible
I want to stifle the opponents who have shown us
We are right not wrong
I want a chorus
I want a psalm written for us
I want jesters that will not bore us
Hahaha
Entertainment is vital to our judgment
All the maneuvers you consumers can muster
Is not enough to escape the lackluster
It’s all inevitable
So sit straight at the table
(if you’re able)
I know my words are absurd
But I know the lingo of the people
As far we’re concerned
Everything is better when it burns

Little seedling
I am struggling
To poke my head through the Earth
I’m competing
With other specimens
For a piece of dirt
Well I feed…
And I grow big as a tree
That bears fruit
That bears seeds
My stems and leaves
Oh how they reach
To let the sun kiss their skin
I will grow strong
As tall as Babylon
I can’t wait to begin
Well you’ll see…
When I grow big as a tree
My desire,
I want to be the tree of leaves and fire

when the sky comes crashing down
and we're all waiting on the rebirth
ill show you how far ill go just to heal your soul
its our last day on earth
i lock the doors when i get home
the sun is setting in my rear-view mirror
the objects are closer than they appear
everyones running away from home
they think theyre happy
they think theyre better off alone
i lock the doors when i get home
if a pictures worth a thousand word
then a moments worth a million

time passes for the masses
but for us it just stays still
if something doesnt exist
does that mean its not real
i will find you when im ready
walking down chicagos streets
ill save you from conversation
when our two glances meet
i will smile say im better even though i know im not
im still tired from the lessons that you taugh
time passes for the masses but
for us it just stays still
you ask me if we'll ever change
i dont think that we will
