When all the loose threads of your life start to split in two And the image in the mirror is more me than you Please remember to forget The only hell I see is regret

There it was sitting right in front of me All my life condensed to a sheet of paper There I was sitting comfortably all my life (?was contained on it?) (?why is it mixed in why do I read ?) why am I stuck inside this life what's to know, what's the truth to show (?There I was sitting there comfortably On a sheet of paper Staring back looking into my eyes All my life was written on it?)

On my way back I had to pull over and say A certain chip upon my shoulder This little game is all about changing the roles we play Meanwhile we all are getting older You plant the seeds of doubt and there's no turning back I still can't believe your fatal contradiction So long ago I saw the foolishness of violence So why didn't you? So now your Keeping the ship afloat despite the fools inside it Making it all come true even when nobody cares I've seen you play the fool and now it's too hard to hide it Don't take that tone with me, your losing credibility The moment's dead that path is gone I hope you realize You can't erase the consequence of what you've shown Your indiscretion cuts me now it bleeds out my respect for you Can't help but say you should have known I once believed we were animals So easily broken and scarred I'm trying now to learn consideration But goddamit why'd you let me down so hard? So now it's Keeping the ship afloat despite the fools inside it Making it all come true even when nobody cares I've seen you play the fool and now I must confide it Just makes no sense to me to act with such ferocity These words are well past due Instead of trying to hide it Trying to get to you to let you know that we all care We slowly learn the rules and in time decide it Just makes no sense to me and so I give you a blank stare

This point in life internal strife I see the same old seen If it's a wheel, then what I feel is never quite the same, Is what I mean But last I checked you should protect everything you hold dear So that's the trick to make you sick when I say that no one holds you here Then I have to wonder what it was you saw in me Then again my friend I guess that is a question that comes with a fee Whoa oh-oh-oh-oh-yeah who-oh-oh-yeah There you are looking small inside an albatross Hanging from the neck of someone who at some point created you Try to find a way to understand the mess you make creating loss And maybe then you will become someone worth relating to The other day I went away just to find out what you'd do If I just stay perhaps in trade I get to talk to you And then in time you come to find that what I say is really nothing so new But in my way I see to days when what I say gets through There you are looking small inside an albatross Hanging from the neck of someone who at some point created you Try to find a way to understand the mess you make creating loss And maybe then you will become someone worth relating to

This voice that I am hearing it gets louder every day Reminds me of the stupid games we used to play Like when we would always just change the rules Never be afraid to be the fools And all that I am saying is reminds me of the time When you would sit around and make everything rhyme You find yourself consuming less and less every day You have no concern with how you dress or the way You wear your hair You just don't care I find myself at night just locking up the door And then curling into a ball right there on the floor Just let it be This song is not about me

Atom end the god-din And end your suffering Think yourself allowed in Aware you are turning Do you think when I listen to the stereo I'm listening to anybody but myself? So, wow. I guess I'm a big rock star do you want to buy a couple records off my shelf Atom end the god-din And end your suffering Think yourself allowed in Aware you are turning Hey there would you like to watch me stare back and mumble to myself of things I cannot see? Oh wow guess that was a holy cow will you listen as I mumble incoherently? Atom end the god-din And end your suffering Think yourself allowed in Aware you are turning
