lyrics

My unrest isn't right because
my life is nothing but good swag.
The sun sets and rises on buildings and
I'm out here with it.
No one is feeding my anger
by kidnapping me yet.
Is success a venture right
to be labeled as unfair?

What's wrought inside my iron body
is the thought that I could fall from
out the side of any building and feel
myself coming down and holding on
while my own colleague shoots me down
with my own gun. I know it's wrong
to hate somebody but sometimes it's easier.

I would like to put forth the idea
of an exile in green.
The right that the childish hold dear
because they are serene.
I bet you will tell everyone that
I am lazy and although
you would not be wrong,
that is not what I need.

What's locked inside my stranger insides is the
thought that I am alright.
Death will not control my whole life,
fear will not dictate how I write.
I'll hold on while my ex-colleague
loads his glock for one more shot.
I have had so much of a chance and
what more could I ask for?

I just want to work it out
so I can write all the time
and play and sing of silent things
that are always fluttering
behind my ears like a moth
drawn to the light of future days.
