lyrics

“I’ve been listening to the heart’s song and it has been skipping beats for far too long. A tempo in retrograde, the worrier of the world, the American Dream. I’ve been watching a man die, his feet wrapped in heroic tales, letting his success become living from one day to the next: Never try. Never fail. Never live. Never excel.

“Rob me of my declaration, and then tell me of equality in man. Bring me misery, and then put prayers into my hands. Tie weights to each of my strengths. Delude my thoughts with bright colors and catchy slogans. Make me notable. Make me dissonant. Make me a billboard, preaching to others to repent.

“We’ll all be equal when we are too stupid to know the difference. The end.

“Hopefully I will forget who I am.”
