We have spent 2 thousand years Smothering our worlds resources Sinking in the ever growing past Wandering thousand years alone Smother in the past This vicious cycle ends We are all alone Traveling in our desire Comprehending our reality We were bred to fail Smother in the past This vicious cycle ends For all eternity We wish to be the change And now the Earth struggles in an endless cycle This Vicious cycle ends And now We must change From our Past Smother In our past Smothering From our past

Okay, cool Fat black vulture, white head hung low Chewing dead meat by the side of the road His evil breath smells just like death He takes no chances, he knows the dances Vulture Vulture Vulture Vulture Vulture waiting for life to end Hoping to profit, he's nobodies friend If he gets near, your bones heal clear He'll jump your bandwagon 'til it's your corpse he's draggin' Vulture Vulture Vulture Vulture Vulture Vulture Fat black vulture has got no shame He knows how to lie, cheat, steal and frame Its poison whiff will kill you stiff This toxic executes wants your guts in his grip Vulture Vulture Vulture Vulture Vulture Vulture Vulture Vulture

Come one, come all to a clueless affair Inhabiting patrons awaiting their share We promise you money (You'll do just fine, honey!) They whisk you away as they teach you to stare Open your eyes! I've looked to the skies and the forecast today is a forecast of grey The vultures of main street parading the grave heat while silently stalking their prey (Up sell them, up sell them, up sell them, hey!) So stay and earn yourself a fortune of minimum wage And pay the rest of your working life away We can't give you honesty, honestly I don't see anyone living that way May you make it out, or remain the same As you get comfortable in your profession, be sure that you see you're still at their discretion And all moves you make are observed with close eyes. Avoid all the faults or your in for surprise Please do explain how you're not insane. You're here for their money and not for the fame You study their tactics and put in the practice with no hope of winning the game (Out sell them, out sell them, out sell them, hey!) Why would you throw all your ambition out so fast? Didn't you know this isn't what you said you wanted to last? So I can say goodbye, and leave this all behind or I can stay and enjoy all this minimal money And minimal living for minimally nothing and...

I feel like I'm falling into the wrong hands, or I'm just over sleeping And the city is so desperate, it's pulling me down I've seen these streets start sinking It's getting tough to make it clear and show the world who I'm defeating Place two fingers on my neck to make sure that my heart is still beating I've never been straightforward But I think it's clear to see that putting trust into a liar made a liar out of me Tell me someone is listening if not I guess they're missing out It's easier to stay and wait than to make a plan and play it out If falling asleep is comfortable then wake me up I'd like to feel alive I'm counting the minutes as they pass by As if I'm moving forward Surrounded by stories I need to let go or else I'll sit here cornered Have I become that old man in the food court that I'd always see Because all his friends are dead and gone but all my friends are dead to me It's funny how it ends sometimes you look back on a lifelong fight So go and say the words, we'll watch the Anti-Hero die tonight And so I'm trying See that I've been trying hard but growing up and letting go Is possibly the hardest pain a kid like me could ever know If falling asleep is comfortable then wake me up I'd like to feel alive And so I'm finally trying Now don't be sad it's over just you be grateful that it happened That automated answer never worked as recommended And as I hit two decades old I look around and see I'm almost there But no one is there for me And just like any game show but without the promised prizes I'll live my life in segments, just subtracting advertisements And I know now, it's never been about the I in Team But you'll never make it anywhere if no one is ever listening So tell me someone is out there If not I guess I am missing out It's easier to stay and wait and let your plan fill up with doubt If falling asleep is comfortable then falling apart is where I'm at now But I've been trying to make you see And if I'm moving on I won't need you behind me anymore I feel like I've fallen into the wrong hands

And then and there she was like from above, or from across the room, she cries Come on over here be mine She was the diamond in my eye She said I got a lot of money and I promise you If you spend a little time by the time you're through I'll reset your mind And it'll change your whole night But empty promises are always the easiest lies So go on, waste your time Or if you're lucky, she'll help turn your stuck key to drive Then watch the reels go wild There's always magic when you make it around We're feeling la la la la la la lucky No we'll never feel bad, trust me now And though we're failing in a desperate town We're feeling la la la la la la lucky No we'll never take it lying down And then the lights come on, she's gone And like a shark you dart your eyes Around the room you try to find another girl to take your time Because you didn't learn your lesson And now before the window closes You need to try to find success in the pretty girls refusing roses But empty promises are always the easiest lies Ladies and gentlemen, watch the Anti-Hero live tonight Oh you pretty devil, so appealing to me You notice just what I need and go and take it so easily You know I'm pushing my luck You know I haven't had enough You know I'm always down for up I'm always down for up

Consider this the exclamation point on a sentence I had written seven years ago A lifetime way back when I was angry, tired, and worried for the future And noticing an ending getting closer than it had ever been But it's not over yet, for the stones haven't set We're only missing permanence Here we are this morning after Take our turns and climb the golden ladder We're all here we've found our answer And in the end that's all that really matters And they say that life is fate but my fate is up to me So how dare you make me play this game when no one is even winning And I'm content fucking finally in understand heaven is an idea And if we never really get there then so be it And it's not hard to see that the odds are against me Trying hard pointlessly So join me in this sermon and help me to determine If all we're taught is hate your thoughts and listen to the person Who from day one has told his son obey or you'll be sorry Because when you die you'll find you're not invited to the party So if it's a playthrough I'll do what I have to But since I can't hear you I'll do what I can do Some say we'll all grow old and then it's hopeless I say we'll call this home and then we'll be golden It's over, you'll notice You're listening I'm hoping I'm different, I think so Fu Dao Le is where I'll go home Please take this how you want to It's nothing you're not used to Now here's one last message Then know it's ended I guess you're out of the talk, you must have nothing to say Because I don't mean to be selfish, but then you made me this way Sure, just the fact this exists is enough to know that I'm fine But don't expect me to guess Come on, God Give me another sign Then we'll be golden Just look around, you're lucid So say the magic words and you control this Then we'll be golden They're ready sir, your orders? Just leave us on the road and we'll be golden

Welcome to acceptance Welcome all your peers Falter from distraction and say goodbye to years We expect you to know how, so don't you ask in fear Put your dreams on hold for now They won't help you here And I got pushed around too long Too long have I been stuck with people who don't care I know they never gave a friendly suggestion Disdain's interjection was all that I had luck with I never wanted to know how it ended And I sure hope it's not where I am right now Though I've noticed the help you've been sending But we both know there is only so much I'll allow But we both know that there's only When you need the endgame, answers make more sense But I'm losing faith that come one day I may have earned some more respect But no, I'm buried in the ground forgotten like before I'd try to make a sound but it's the sunlight they adore I'm rust on a diamond The company is blinded and constantly ignore And sure I'm fine with sustaining persistence I always promised that I'd go the distance, so there I'm aware that I'm dying Hell, at least I can say that I'm trying Everything that happened never really mattered The worst part is I spent most my youth apologizing For things that I had nothing to do with And I won't just sit here pretending That letting you lead is the way to an ending The worst part is I spent most my youth apologizing For things that I had nothing to do with And I won't just sit here pretending That letting you lead is the way I'd let this happen The worst part is I spent most my youth apologizing For things that I had fuck all to do with And I won't just sit here pretending That letting you lead is the way I'd let this happen
