The Stage
So I arrived, naked and coldA welcomed change from the abeyance of a ghost town catacombNo need for counsel I appreciate the time I’m not alone(Why don’t you get my lawyer on the phone)
There were days these child eyesWould overlook the ugliness and fantasizeI found my heart for the first time and I awakened in meI left myself to navigate… and oh I felt control(It appears these sheep have quite an appetite)
Who is the crowd that peers through the cage,As we perform here upon the stage?
As the boy became a manIn came a calm sophistication I can hardly understandSo lost in ego, didn’t notice when the time had slipped away(Yeah, Everyone’s got a sob story)
Jesus Christ, was born to dieLeave it to man to levitate his own to idolizeWe’re simply sociopaths with no communication babyI see your angle but we differ from our points of view(So, what’s your cross to bear)
Who is the crowd that peers through the cage,As we perform here upon the stage?Tell me a lie in a beautiful wayI believe in answersJust not today
Hope my wheels don’t abandon me now, seein’ that I’m out here aloneI’m runnin’ out of fightAnd the wind speaks a comforting voice, guiding me to her armsMother, I’m alrightIt took the birth of sin to snake-rattle the mindBefore a blow to the head by the gavel of time to wake upWon’t you wake up?When did the walking apes decide that nuclear warWas now the only solution for them keeping the score? Just wake upCan’t you wake up?
(You do know this is just a simulation, don’t you?)Who is the crowd that peers through the cage,As we perform here upon the stage?Tell me a lie in a beautiful wayI believe in answersJust not today
