This broke down barren desert
Water never touched this earth
Life never touched the earth
From Colorado to California
We will fight a water war with ya
They'll fight a water war with ya
Our hypocrisy
It's the way we think
It's our boarders and bounties
And in our history
Violence was necessity
resources procured god willingly

Lets appeal to irrational thought
This smoke is a torch of freedom
Intellect is irrelevant
This heard is hard wired
What are needs, whats desire?
When the markets not your mind conspire
Hollow with product placement
A heart of city concrete
We are a sadistic species
Danger always lurking
I'm aware, but I don't care
How could I care?

It's a game called survival
Survive this transition
I'm not a cog in your system
But what can I say
We take it day by day
If we can't sustain this lifestyle of energy
Finite and at it's peak
We can't abstain
If I could if I would do anything
Wish I would wish I could
But that's just wishful thinking

It's bitter sweet
Oh so bitter sweet
The sound of the silence in my mind
Nothing to say
And I can't say nothing
And I think I'm getting far
On a lemon twist smile
Hasn't gotten me much
Sure wasn't worth the try
Nothing to say
And I can't say nothing
And I think I've got them fooled
I've got a top shelf attitude
Now they're giving me looks
And asking me to leave
You can't believe
No you won't believe
The sight of the sorrow
In their eyes
Nothing to say
And I can't say nothing
Now its fucked
The whole well has dried up
So's my capacity
To care

This world doesn't owe you anything
And all that blind rage
Isn't really saying something
With all these shades of gray
And your misplaced faith
This exhaustion is my mantra
Everyone wants to be a martyr
If you don't come to grips with it
Madness will quickly find you

I don't think that we've ever belonged
But I know we got no regrets
If they can't tell what I see in you
Then they'll never know what you see in me
No one ever knows
And nothing is set in stone
As we sail these seas of madness
Tides turn this ship of sadness
You can live your life by all their rules
Make life a glorified high school
I can't return
I can't return to Earth.
