For idiots attention
For fire gasoline
The age of information
adds insult to injury
It's getting hard to find
working brains among the machines
The masses want some answers
but what's it gonna be?

Science or belief?
how skewed our perspective is
Science or belief?
Save a prayer for us heretics.
The burden of proof is not where it used to be

I'm sick with apprehension
your pulpit is too big
Your flag gathers attention
waving over debris
The ignorants are blissful
'cause now they know what to think
The masses want some answers
but what's it gonna be?

The burden of proof is now on you
not me

Right before my eyes
And totally out of reach at the same time
The thought just crossed my mind
oddly nothing ever felt so wise

How much do you think you can risk?
How much for just a shot you'll miss?
You don't care but you have to admit
that you will regret doing this

Always on the edge
betting higher, reaching new lows
Never second best
but I just don't care anymore
Better a loser than a fraud.

what am I waiting for?
I’ve been in this crossroads many times before
I know where it goes
I either fail or not even try at all

It's like if you had an inner voice
that finds its way through all the noise
it says that you will really enjoy
taking a leap into the void

We filled the sky with gods and heroes
and found the ways to build and burn
We tried to predict the future
but it's clear we didn't learn

We know that we're breathing tainted air
that our walls cannot protect us
if the evil is ourselves
We know how to make it right again
but the masses are much dumber
than every man for himself

We feign to live in ones and zeroes
and we forgot our real concerns

We told our gods: "We don't need you"
We threw our hands in the air and laughed

Is there something sadder than drinking alone
the day you that turn thirty one?

I'm still at the station 'cause I missed the train home
surrounded by pigeons and bums
I wish you had been here tonight at The Fillmore
when they played our favorite songs
the ones we heard while it rained outside
and it seemed that we had found a way to freeze the time

I apologize
but I don't know what I am doing with my life
Now I realize
It's harder to get old when you're not by my side

The sun shines this evening
here in California
you say that at home it still rains
you are going to bed now
I curse at the time zones
and I keep on counting the days
waiting for catching a plane home
flying 'cross the pond
to the place where I belong

Be by my side

It seems you're used to things
being a certain way
You're here to pull my strings
but I'm cold as the clay

Quit tugging at my sleeve
I don't wanna go
I'm not so naive
well... not anymore

I'm no longer who you think
but you feel just the same
I'm sure in a while you will
make this all about you again

I can't help the feeling
that we've been left aside
and nobody cares that
the river has run dry
Should we keep on fighting
or believe what they say?
I feel so tired today

The truth is everything is a lie
it feels good to believe sometimes

I can't help the feeling
we're running out of time
and I am sick of hearing
invented alibis

but should we keep on fighting
or believe what they say?
I feel so lazy today

I'm sick of those unhappy endings
but the happy ones are just too dumb
Why do we have to be so condescending?
How could I relate myself to that?

Every time I thought that I had found my place
Life found a way to slap me in the face
I've failed so many times that I can't tell
the difference between failure and success

This place sucks but I don't know
anywhere better we could go
We're alone but it's alright
because there's no one we would call

I don't ask for a second chance
Just stay this one time let's have one last dance
waiting for the avalanche
waiting for the end

There's a million things we could
do but we never had a goal
Once you told me to follow you
I would have but you were lost

Toasting with poison, bottoms up!
it feels so good to be sad
I'm still in motion, failing at
All that I try. All that I am

I'm looking for
the smartest words
someone could sing
someone would quote

I'd trade devotion for a cup
of the best booze that you have
to play with emotion in this bar
'cause we're three on stage
and no one showed up

I'm looking for
the world's most meaningful words
no one will hear
no one will quote
I'll just stay here
and sing alone

You never studied anything
'cause "it fed your frustration"
Your parents sent you a year abroad
so you found motivation

You never held a steady job
"they lead to alienation"
You got yourself an ounce of pot
to cope with your vexation

And you still think that we
should listen to your opinion

Come on in,
make yourself feel uncomfortable
be a slacker just like me
I've only worked hard
to become
the opposite thing of what they want us to be

'cause what if I'm dead tomorrow
what if our time was borrowed
Nobody's getting out of here alive
I have always been thorough
choosing joy instead of sorrow
with the most selfish stride
I just make sure that I'm enjoying the ride

What are the expectations
and who sets the score?
why must I compete?
the odds are bad, the game is rigged
with way too many things to lose
and nothing to win

You called me up
just to bring me down
Asking me if I remember you
if time has healed the wounds

So here I am, disfunctional
Just trying to find my own way home
And there you go, emotional
Carrying on, with nowhere to go

Those dayswhen we cared for each other
when inside I know
you dragged meunder water
and told me you'd never let go

When I was with you
wrapped your hands around my neck
Didn't seem to know what to do
because I am, just another train wreck
