Lyrics

at least you could say without a doubt
new days aren't running out
I know it really don't help when there's so much fear
but beneath the mask there is an idea
--you can't kill an idea

somewhere they buried the plot
we missed it whether we liked it or not
like 1984 or the gunpowder treason
I know of no reason it should ever be forgot
people spending so much time
pointless fighting online
get the fuck out
not what it's about
just figure it out
don't act like you got nothing to say
don't let that bullshit get in your way
every time we make some room
hit you with another bomb
slap you with another jewel
and then so on and so on
it'll be "confiscate this" "we can't allow you to do that"
"won't somebody please think of my cat"
it's an amazing set of warnings
while the clowns keep on performing
a crazy twist of flavours
brain can barely entertain it
sex and drugs
rock and roll
allegations
better call Saul
que sera sera

at least you could say without a doubt
new days aren't running out
I know it really don't help when there's so much fear
but beneath the mask there is an idea
--you can't kill an idea
at least you could say without a doubt
new days aren't running out
I know it really don't help when there's so much fear
but beneath the mask there is an idea
--you can't kill an idea

look out the window at the grey sky
in the winter months sun's short on supply
woke up this morning
I was feeling my highs
feeling my lows
and of course my goals are just to get by
it feels like chaos in it's rawest form
sparked by pure exhaustion
delivered to our inboxes all without a question
it adds to stress, anxiety, it adds to indigestion
it feels like we could use a fucking break
we haven't rested
pile on a fuller plate
forget that we already ate
better not be late
I have a problem losing testing fate
which probably isn't great
since I'm always testing fate
but if I win what's left of fate?
I'd miss the loss
I'd miss the taste
but I feel compelled so I'm writing you this letter
the world kicks your ass
but only if you fucking let her
it's a long hard fall
just feel lucky that you met her
Now go and do better

at least you could say without a doubt
new days aren't running out
I know it really don't help when there's so much fear
but beneath the mask there is an idea
--you can't kill an idea
at least you could say without a doubt
new days aren't running out
I know it really don't help when there's so much fear
but beneath the mask there is an idea
--you can't kill an idea

Vile voracious and vanquished vanguard the village idiots with a vengeance time to vacate the vacantness and placate the vague vagabond vicariously cast as both the victim and the villain Martin had a dream I just wanna see his vision and I wanna give thanks for my misgivings miscarriage to hell with justice and that blind bitchs feelings I’m raring to go throwin darts at the map find a place to call home meet the new landlord same as the last the worlds a stage all we fuckin do is act and react and lack action remain stagnant standing knee deep in this schitts creek bobbin for Applebees under the watch of big brothers fantastic beasts while we kick another masterpiece and bite the hand that feeds cook him up and have a feast roll me some tree then I leave, peace

at least you could say without a doubt
new days aren't running out
I know it really don't help when there's so much fear
but beneath the mask there is an idea
--you can't kill an idea
at least you could say without a doubt
new days aren't running out
I know it really don't help when there's so much fear
but beneath the mask there is an idea
--you can't kill an idea
