lyrics

BENN: I'm tired of seeming lost between hands held tight as I dream of slipping through the cracks. I'm tired of being passed finger to finger through a parade of polite smiles and courteous warfare as the ground falls from under my feet. I can't help feeling I'm being used. And for all my fucking privilege, I can't escape feeling trapped in a small cage.

I hope life's parodies step aside willingly for each bullet I fire through the heart of my reflection. My guard's down, my hands are empty, and everything I once enjoyed has been reduced to a dollar sign lost in the mirror. Help me.

TOM: What are we if we can't own a dedication to our dreams? Our culture stomps its feet on any freedoms we thought we had left, taking ourselves from our hopes, taking ourselves from the things we dream of. They've got you by the bank account. Do we wonder why we pulled the trigger? Could it be we are our own worst enemy? Look what this culture has done to us. Could it be we turned our lives into an interest rate? How interesting.
