Paranoid Delusions / Paradise Illusions
This is all so bittersweet Fulfilling dreams but only half alive I should expect this by now Time has never been on my side I've worked for this most of my life These goals I've set To see them through And I've never had to step back And think about what I do Just twenty minutes each night My therapy in this world gone mad A ritual I've come to depend on To clear this throbbing head I've seen these roads a thousand times A million songs that sound the same I love it all so much Even though I can't explain why But then there's you And a comfort I've never known And when I'm gone I only think of coming home

I know you're all the same I'm so unsatisfied I know you feel no shame I'm so unsatisfied It's politics as usual Nothing has changed See the poison in your eyes Maybe I'm paranoid Deceit is on the rise I'm so unsatisfied Two parties, one focus And it's not you or me It's a brighter day in America But let's not hold our breath Four laid off at my job last week And I could be next So while we hope and scrap for change The bills keep piling up Putting all our faith in one politician Means we don't learn from the past
When the wolf cries for war the hounds follow suit Like sheep to the slaughter, a neck for every noose Sign up for duty, volunteer to kill Just wanted education, it cost your free will The ads made it seem like it was all fun and games A bunch of clean-cut soldiers, no blood to be seen Future paraplegic with man's darkest knowledge Were told you'd see the world You got a hospital bed World peace can't exist When we're raise to hate like this People too blind to see the red that we all bleed Massive armies formed on notions of defense Imperial realities belie our murderous intent Fly away brave angel Don't ever come back You must pay for the sins of your masters You must atone for what they lack

You wouldn't know it But I don't know what I'm doing I could prove it, but I wouldn't waste your time All these delusions keep me from seeing me And these illusions, my childhood fantasies I play the part because it's all I know Afraid to admit it and so scared of letting go Just what the fuck am I doing here? This path I'm on is unknown and unclear I can't make the right choices When all will steer me wrong Been avoiding all decisions for far too long But I'm getting so sick of not knowing Just what is going on It's easy to believe That what is right is what is wrong

In these fields, our bodies lay Where my night, killed your day In your grave, I've found my rest Without your heart, there's nothing left, for me No hell, no heaven, it's all just illusion Know right, know wrong, live free of delusion Every step we take is one toward death Today may be the last sun that sets There is no paradise where there is no light These dark ages breed forever night It only takes one martyr to bring disaster And war will reign forever after No time to waste on making amends When it's all burned up in seeking revenge Follow no leader that invokes your rage Preserve the past and then turn the page Because tomorrow may never come Light the fuse and fucking run Never forget that we're destined to rot Don't be the spark that time forgot
