lyrics

To the Earth, to the Earth
Everything goes back to the Earth
You're a seed, you're a weed
Tell her what you want and she'll give you what you need
He was a right raised man,
Some do what they want, some do what they can
You can hold or you can show
Something's gotta give I cant give no more
What do you give, what do you want?
What do you get when it's all for not?
You're the hoax, you're the lie
You're all that there is when nobody asks why

Your answers are in the shape of things to come
Your endless chances are less by one

I'm ahead, I'm behind
I'm not me I'm just my mind
My 9 lives are getting tired
When you find God will you throw him to the lions?
You were born, raised and fell
While this whole mad shit house belonged to someone else
While you can wait, you can't miss
February keeps you from the Lion's kiss
Live fat, hog smile
You can have it all but there's beauty in denial
Look up any time and marvel at the endless palette in the sky

The luck of youth is wearing thin
Petals blow off in the autumn wind
Seek truth, the light of day
While primadonna pettifoggers take it away
Clear the path, lose the trail
Never gonna learn if you're never gonna fail
I had a name when I was young
Now it's all gone it's just zeros and ones
The well is drying up, penny has poisoned to the very last drop
Truth fades over time, maybe we're all just looking for a better lie

You're answers are in the shape of things to come
You're endless chances are less by one
The moon is the eye that she sees me from
