The Dam

now i'm finding it's the world that is ruined
now i'm finding that it's the race that is spoiled
now i'm finding it's the people that are lying
now i'm finding that it's numbers that destroy
that a crowd is not worth the sum of its parts
only the parts have value that don't apply to the addition property
and i'm seeing the status of the city is overrated
the fish on the hook are stupidly baited into believing
that this is the best we can do
if we burn it down bring it down bulldoze it all
and start over we'll probably get something greater
than the metropolis effect
people are herding into the flames
people are hurled into the dust
open your hand take my hand open your hand take my hand
and together we'll ascend above it all
seperate yet one and in the setting sun
we'll smile at all that we've done
and the dam will have broken to bits
yeah

So: Lackluster

i just keep askin' what i'm lackin' cause i've been hurtin' for somethin' more
and i know what i'm missin' and it's diggin' a hole in my soul
'cause nobody can know nobody can know nobody can know
if it's all for show if it's just a matter of one more then i'm goin' to explode
and it's time to reload my ammunition 'cause i'm packin' an empty gun
and there's no fun in shootin' blanks into the ranks of misinformed fools
so so so so what so so so so what
you're stuck in a rut made out as a slut and then it hits you it hits you
that i'm askin' a lot of nothin' here
for what huh did you say stop shh be quiet what when did you start
i don't know i don't know i don't know i know what i'm missin' and
it's diggin' a hole in my soul so maybe you can supply me with the answers
maybe you can clean up the mess i left in the party next door
so so so so
