I got a story to tell you
Of truth and lies, and sleight of hand
And everything in between the moral fences
You erected decades ago
Our main character is a broken man
A broken life, a broken interpersonal show
The illustrious tear him down and all he’s left with
Is the words that echo like so:
“I got a broken behind, but I’m too sullen to speak
X out the mind
All worlds will collide
T-t-t-tumbling down”
At the top of the belfry I can see the light shine
I rescind my demands and open up to the sky!
Would you give me your answer?
There’s something kinda wrong with the world
Or maybe I’m the one that’s absurd?
I’m the joker and the joker police
I think I’ll lock myself away and then throw away the key
I kept a topical answer
To chauvinists, and @(#*#%!
To wit: my sanctimony would verify
The vastness of the echo chamber that I was in
Our main battle: misogyny, misandry
And the misanthropic view of the world
I swear I’d drop you fuckin’ kids in the wilderness
To make you understand that what you reap’s what you sow!
At first I wanted to maim, but then I wanted to kill
Just for the thrill
The very birth of a death
B-b-b-breaking the walls down
When I see your duress, I know I’m close to the proof
You sit and squirm like a cancer, open up to the truth!
Would you hear the world’s answer?
There’s something kinda wrong with the world
Or maybe you’re the one that’s absurd?
You’re the joker and the joker police
I think I’ll lock you up and after that, throw away the key
There’s something kinda wrong with the world
Or maybe everybody’s absurd?
We’re the joker and the joker police
I guess that life revolves around you
When you’re stuck here with me

Sand wisps my eye
Cursed iris unto you
River rise and flood again
Spare no one, ascend the truth
Trying to please you
Brings a world upon myself
And when you whisper in my ear
I hear the voices forever!
The life you live is rich, of course
When you exploit all the peasants
When I speak your name in vain
You terrorize yourself!
I got a broken dream
On the TV screen tonight
When the night gets dark
I’m bringing out the light
So siphon me
I've only let my life die out
So I can rise up from all the ashes
The blood that pulses through my heart
Will stain this ground forever!
Beneath the surface I am lost,
Alone and seek restitution
The world that broke me will break down…
MAKE ME KING!!!
I got a broken dream
On the TV screen tonight
When the night gets dark
I’m bringing out the light
I’m fuckin' tired of this
These feelings run me dry
I’m bleeding out tonight
And I’ll never speak again
I’ll siphon you
I know we live
Afraid to die
We speak in tongues
Our lives are lies
Ascend the truth
To seal this pain
Awake the world
With cleansing rain
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhsdfjlkkl;;;ppppp
..And break it down again!!

All this space and I am bored
I've got all this time to do nothing
The TV tells me to smile, so I fake it, so I lie!
But it feels like I never intended this moment
To bring you back to life
I saw skies and I survived
To break through!
All the empty times in my life
Open eyes and arms spread wide
I'll break through!
I'll awake and I'll be fine
I've made my bets, I'm out of line
I've paid my dues, and I feel just fine!
I'm twenty years down the road,
And yet it feels like I've just been born!
They say life's but a dream, and as rash as it seems
I'll give in...to you tonight
And I look her straight in the eyes
I'll bare my soul, my life, my skies, my pride
In my dreams, she's never too far to be alone
I'd escape, but I'll wait
Bide my time, hesitate
Until I...can show her my love!
Sometimes I feel mundane
Lonely, lost and in pain
Some days I want to die
And leave this whole world behind
But I couldn't do that to you
I couldn't do that to you
Life's too short to regret
I'll live my life...to the end.
