lyrics

Free as the atmosphere residing in flowers of fluorine in my skin
Colors of burden adhere from within caught in the moment of my sin
We are the first to entertain notions that organize their reign
Trample like beasts until were slain
Ever the bones they lay
Expose you to the drug of the day
Those who oppose look the other way
Assert thee now a place in the hay
Swine can then drown in the bay
And those who oppose live another day
Assert thee now a place in the hay.......

When you move there is a light tracing you but all I make out is that you’re followed by a shadow
Just what is heard when this blood is awake
We’ve got the tools to light a fire
Someone soon at the first peak of a noon could be hiding among the sheep that breed desire
Oh it takes a heart to let go of a name
We’ve got a burn that can never be tame
Never take the hand
Of the man who makes the plan
Oh don’t go on holding on
You’ll get X’d where is your head
Each every moon is the first stage of a new we get swallowed by a howling over water
Yes but it’s the first to be heard at the lake
There are but few who where a halo
When is it true when everything we must do can be recognized by the boards that hear the sorrow
And it’s only the hard that maintain what is fate
We’ll be the first to light a fire
Never take the hand
Of the man who makes the plan
Oh don’t go on holding on
You’ll get X’d where is your head
