lyrics

Detach those pupils from the screen
this life is more than just a lucid dream.
Just stand up straight so you can see
all of the places that you'll never be.
Let it fill your mind with jealousy,
I'll bet your eyes are way too square to see.

To tell the truth I can't pretend
I'm able to begin to comprehend
your over-complicated head.
I just don't seem to understand my friend,
the show is at its end it's at the end.
These clowns won't bother you again.

He whispers a shout, words coming out as smooth as a pebble
asleep on the riverbed.
And he doesn't quite know exactly the way these jokers did meddle
with his heart, we put it in his head.

When the people below me all looked to the sky,
well they saw me as I saw them.
After all they belong to the very same rituals and principals they condemn.

It's the headache in the morning and that heartbreaking sting,
It's the further it will take us or the closer it will bring.
It's given me everything I am.
