Comes packaged with a zinger, a populace that lingers
Timmy's a rebel but they can't find the time
Gave him the pills that remedy "troubled minds"
But they won't medicate, but they won't medicate mine
Built like a fortress he took walks on the shore
To soothe the puzzlement that eats at his core
So, the plans to sedate all the behavior that's unrefined
So languid (Thieve the mind & parcel it)
Today (Bliss: a temporary gift)
So languid today (Thieve the mind & parcel it)
(Bliss: a temporary gift, find a mark and surround, surround)
See the fates walking, feel a voice blocking
Out the inconsequential nonsense now
Cause you've gotta choose
Shrouded dark, revel, get on it's level
And baby, it won't disappoint
So Sharon shocks her parents out on the town
Hopped up on Coke and X, dumb drunk off of crown
But they won't dedicate, but they won't dedicate the time
Just like a textbook defect, stemming from infancy
Worst case scenario, we'll expunge memory
But they cannot erase, but they cannot erase mine
So languid (Move a pawn and take a hit)
Today (Bitter steel, swallow the bit)
So languid (Move a pawn and take a hit)
(Bitter steel, swallow the bit, take a false step and impound, impound)
See the fates walking, feel a voice blocking
Out the inconsequential nonsense now
Cause you've gotta choose
Shrouded dark, revel, get on it's level
And baby, it won't disappoint
So where's my wisdom, what's been gained?
So many issues explained
Can you help us, can you help us
The love, it left so long ago (now I ask you where you stand)
Try not to let such feelings show
Can you help me, try to help me (what do you want to become)
Once face, one less
See the fates walking, feel a voice blocking
Out the inconsequential nonsense now
Cause you've gotta choose
Shrouded dark, revel, get on my level
And baby, I won't disappoint
(Where do you stand?)
One face, one less
