lyrics

Shifting the suitcase
From my hand to the other hand
I’m so damn tired, I’m so wrung out
I’ll lay it down
I’ll lay it down


In a lovers quarrel with the world
But I don’t feel like a prophet
No I don’t know how to solve it


Getting off on calling out corruption
But I don’t feel like a prophet
No, I don’t know who could profit


If you’re gonna say something
Well dammit Gabe say something
But I don’t feel like a prophet
I feel more like a harlot


All I know, all I know is this isn’t working
For me


And now I’m ripping the boards from under my feet (Is this family?)
Oh God they’re looser than they seemed
(Or some great fantasy?) Are we so fragile?
Are we so fragile? (Is this family?)
Will I ever hit the bottom?
(Or some great fantasy?)


The Devil is in office
And all we need is the right revolution
Every side says they’ll give us hope for a vote
Every side is using fear and shame like a trope


The priests keep raping
The worlds so violent
But I don’t feel like a prophet
No I don’t feel like a prophet


I’ve lost my faith
I’ve lost my faith in The System
But I don’t feel like a prophet
I’m afraid of the Spirit Syndicate


All I know, all I know is this isn’t working
For me


And now I’m ripping the boards from under my feet (Is this family?)
Oh God they’re looser than they seemed
(Or some great fantasy?) Are we so fragile?
How are we so fragile? (Is this family?)
Will I ever hit the bottom? (Or some great fantasy?)


Paralysis in analysis
The Spirit Syndicate secret seeded,
Stampeded, succeeded
The worm will turn

I’m crucified on the log in my eye
I’m the hypocrite hanging on his left


The world's so violent
Violent
