lyrics

Well it's my illustrations that help us to learn
And if that doesn't help we've got paper to burn
As directions that lead us where we wanna be
But I need some release so the pieces are free

So we'll follow the leader and make as you will
To create a believer instead of a pill
And collapse in a landscape where sunshine remains
That is slow on the uptake but loves a refrain

A silhouette is hidden, all things forgiven
Make me a living out of ashes and clay
Say it's a mission, my own decision
Sweet old derision that'll listen when the prison shelters the sky

And I would trap myself in amber like you said I should

I'm only wishing you would listen to the
Noises around that're trying to speak
While the headphones are blaring to songs on repeat
So no matter how little attention you give
They'll stroll to the sunset and learn how to live

I wouldn't help you if I could
I'm trapped to pieces, broken wood
I wouldn't bother, oh that's another thing I wanted you to say before
I heard the slam of the door.
