lyrics

Too many bars outside these eyes I need to rattle…
the cage. Simple enough. Just need an idea.
If I ask why, then there’s really no point tryin’
Am I that lame I need to plan to anarchy?

Thankfully not
Still, I think I’m free by default
Compromise… compromise
It’s all compromise… Still compromise!

All this anger stored inside her when…

A silence cuts me like a sharpened knife

and it's with great regret I deem it paramount
that you erase the turns, recovering all the burns
as this goes on and on, as shiny drapes are drawn.

And while you chase the rabbit down the rabbit hole,
you can forget your habits - those that black your soul.
But what of wrongs that nurture creativity?
Well, there's a cure for that – its name “conformity”


All this reminds me of the mood in 93,
To have your life decided like a table's set,
To learn to dress accordingly, and wait in line.
To learn to fuck somebody like you taste the wine.
And I can't help but think, while this goes on and on,
that if nothing change, it can't be very long to...

Worn out - Those tickets sell. I’ll give you one.
Sellout - You know, it’s not on me if they are wrong
“But, to swim upstream?”
Well, already done – too hard for me
Now I must unsee this anomaly
Could it be?

Too many bars outside these eyes I need to rattle…
the cage. Simple enough. Just need an idea.
Now if I ask why, then there is really no point tryin’
Am I that lame I need to plan to anarchy?
Worries aside, I might be fine…

Anomaly! Anomaly!
Want to be all I say, but I could be wrong
Counter my instincts with dismay – It’s not like my backbone’s on display
Do I ride this out or torch the place? I should ride it out – torch the place
