Better Things

The walls are standing, but they're closing in
It never starts, and it never ends
You think the future is an automatic win,
But you're still sitting on your couch
Waiting to begin
You try the TV, but it's full of smoke
You want some answers, so you blame the remote
You'd buy a new one, but you're always broke
And just like your cash, your situation's a joke
'cuz
What you have and what you need
Seem to be two separate things
And if you ever got just what you need
You'd think you'd have some kind of right
To better things
You wanna go while the getting is good
A little pill for a new attitude
Find your bliss, because you think you should
But, hey! Don't get angry, you're just misunderstood
You try the brakes, but the cable's been cut
You wanna steer, but the wheel is gone
You think you're dreaming, but you always wake up
And just like your dreams, you're plain shit outta luck
'cuz...
Follow me
I'm going down to where the rats sleep at night
Follow me
The rich always leave a trail of crumbs behind
You'd climb the ladder, but it's broken in half
You think you have to, but you simply can't
You thought a little would be enough cash
But your rent just went up, and now you're out on your ass
Singing,
I am the emperor in all my new clothes
Proudly I walk down the middle of the road
and you, and you, and you shall know
exactly why I am the king!
Cuz...
Well,
What you have and what you need
are kept as two separate things
and if you ever got just what you need
well, why the fuck would you need a king?

Petting Sharks
03:26

I've seen the future through the fourth wall
A new horizon for reality
No connection to the death toll
No self
Accountability
One chorus
Shouting into the void
And I've been shouting
Into the void
I've been petting sharks
A new dimension in family
Asking questions that have no end
Is a voice that lasts forever
Really me?
One chorus...
And one voice
Shouting into time
Forever and ever
Forever
One chorus shouting
One chorus shouting into the void
And I've been shouting
Shouting into the void
One chorus shouting into the void
One voice shouting into time

Fragments

All I see are fragments
All I have is what used to be
And I won't forget you
After all, you're still in front of me
Pain is what I feel
As loneliness surrounds us
Beads of water on the window
The morning finds us so cold
I thought I knew the picture, but now
There's so much space between what I know
How could I blame you?
As loneliness surrounds us
All I hear are fragments
And you don't even open your mouth
How could I forget you?
I carry everything you said
Pain is what I feel
As loneliness surrounds us
Glass water on the lake
As darkness falls, life so still
I thought I cherished every sound, but
Silence finds us unprepared
How could I blame you?
As loneliness surrounds us
