lyrics

in the back of the room
in front of the source of my headaches
every morning I can't breathe
sometimes I don't even bother to play
I look at faces around me
clutchin for something they don't quite get
we play the same songs every day
but are we getting bored yet

i'd always be invisible
if it wasn't for the sounds that I make
my life has been pretty simple
I haven't had many chances to take
I look at faces around me
clutchin for something they don't quite get
we play the same songs every day
but are we getting bored yet

I step outside the faces here are different
oh my god none of this makes any sense to me
lookin around but nobody's lookin at me
and why should they i'm just a fuckin band geek

my dog is barking and waking all the neighbors
numbers and digits tell me what i'm savin for
stuck in a world of ignorant depravity
with every step we fight against the gravity
turn on the light but still scream at the black sky
screaming our pain into the air without a reply
eyes at ground level
we're in it for the long haul
the bigger they are the harder they fall

I am aware of the human dilemma
jump of a cliff like a culture of lemmings
misery's played out because all of it's old news
our feet are going nowhere else but our own shoes
I am aware of the human dilemma
jump off a cliff like a culture of lemmings
living your life and securing your own fate
we are all stuck in a perpetual stalemate

my dog is barking and waking all the neighbors
number's and digits tell me what I'm savin for
stuck in a world of ignorant depravity
with every step we fuck it up here we go
