Just wanted a little relief
To capture a sliver of peace
Amid chaos and impending defeat
End up in a bed made of clouds
Comfortably numb until it lets you down
Overcome with the sweats and the shakes
Seeking solace now your greatest mistake
Perpetuate the condition to evade resolution
Daily consumption catalyzes hourly regression
This tortured side of you now leaves a lasting impression
You'll take this ounce of silence
Mix in some basic science
Dive into the deep end
Swim until you've drowned the violence
Try and escape the moment
Found yourself floating into more nightmares
Recreate the hell to which you're sent
Lungs gasping for air
Wade into the the water
Like you do from time to time
Just to find some peace of mind
Fade into the ether
Like you do from time to time
Just to practice peace of mind
And further down you're pulled
Into these rabbit holes
No chance to root and grow
And further down you're pulled
Into these rabbit holes
Just rot and decompose
What looked to be a safety net
Will cut your arms and break your neck
They held it up to catch your fall
Now cut the rope and curse it all
Cut the rope and curse it all
Cut the rope and curse it all

From every root that takes hold
Another story unfolds
Another story that threads
Weaves in the web
Every convergence, every touch
So symbiotic is such
That every root intertwined
Equals the sum of our minds
And of this to lose sight
Will surely only mean plight
For to deny that we're not greater
Than the cycles of nature
To neglect that is so
Shall mean community no more
Community no more
Community no more
Humanity no more
Humanity no more
We sit and watch the world burn
Swear I can hear Thoreau's grave turn
Trembling at the unwillingness to learn
Future fate, we've grown unable to discern
The concession that we're destined to expire
Our minds unable to aspire
Slowly losing our desire
The lungs are are desperate to respire
Is this the course we were always bound to take
Can we reverse all our mistakes
I'd like to think that it's part of our resiliency
Hoping we decide to do more than just wait and see

We've been told that there is strength in numbers
What will take to awaken our slumber
Every day we're slowly growing number
Compliant now defiant, time to make them all grow humbler
Keep us busy is the method of suppression
Drink more water, get more sleep, perpetual suggestions
Try to collect our thoughts and organize our lives
While everyone is steadily developing depression
Exhausted limits on the notion of self interest
Path of least resistance, really not the simplest
Back in front of our minds, now we have to decide
Is it time that we finally try to make a difference
But we just sit
And wait
Don't think we can take this much longer
Our collective demeanor grows somber
Not sure if you've noticed, but just because it didn't kill you doesn't mean it made you stronger
It's time to put the pressure on
Before we get this all wrong
It's time to put the pressure on
Before, before we get this all wrong
Or is it too damn late
Have we sealed our fate
Or is it too fucking late
To redirect our hate
But you'd think that either way we'd have to try
Lying down or standing up how do you wanna die
I choose the latter
I choose
We choose the latter
Hopelessly we strengthen our resistance
Shatter preconceptions on what health is
Slowly losing patience and persistence
They've turned us into something else quite lifeless
Together we are stronger not defenseless
Communicate and organize the masses
Redefine the way we live our lives here
Seize the moment so we can truly shift gears
