we're born and we're thrown into the lion's den
hold us ransom by our throats just for nothing
what a joke
i have a lot to say and even more to think about
it's like i'm being singled out
'cuz i just cant stop spilling out
i try to throw it all away
these days i pack it up and swing it back behind my head
i guess i carry a heavy stash
serves me right for thinking i could pick up everybody's trash
i can't move forward and can't go back
the world keep spinning while we're dragging
she's just picking up our slack
it's getting dirty
my hands are charred
the water basin's empty
i can't even make it out that far
make it empty and fill it again
we're born and we're thrown into the lion's den
and light a match to take it's place
just to let go of the rubble
watch it burn to flames
maybe to see the pain
and everything i've done wrong
to watch it burn to flames
'cuz it's too late to
too late to go back
so we just pack it up and
hold on to the trash
i've had it
i've had it
wrong for so long
held me for ransom
burn it down
spill it out
i've had it
i've had it wrong
burn it down
spill it out
i've had it wrong

This has such an electric energy that the music scene today NEEDS- creative, with the ability to make you smile and laugh. Success is CRINGE!! (yeah) retrorenegade85
Like a mix of They Might Be Giants, Cake, and maybe a little OZMA thrown in, this album is wonderful. Never fails to put a smile on my face as I listen to it! robbymorgan
Dammit every track makes me smile. How did you do that? If a friend recommends this album to you, hang on to them because they're just as fabulously messed up as you are. I'd like to thank my bank for allowing me to buy things online again. Thank you. Everyone. Thanks. duskbringer
