Standing at the Oracle

Still stood at the door
Piles of clothes upon the floor
Seemed to ask me what I do
You better fight now if you’re going to
It’s just pushing through
Dark through the window
And my food was getting cold
Were their voices in my ear
It’s a long way to let someone down from here
Gotta break
Standing at the oracle I can’t
Keep this up I’ll tear out all my (hair)
(her)esy against old ways of thinking
Less and talking more, Im calling off all bets
Maybe I know that everyone’s watching
Maybe I know they all expect something
What if all of these hours mean nothing?
All I’ve been told is that it only gets tougher
Call out to me!
Oh clear eyed Oracle
The way she speaks
A modern miracle
Smooth stone against the head
You open your mouth, but nothing comes out
Open wide, but it’s nothing real, it’s just noise
The harshest noise...
I see it now
No longer by my own volition
To let you down
Not perfect by my own admission
and every call
You couldn’t make for me
What was it called?
Stuck gonna nametag my decision
Sometimes I find that I lack the strength to deal with
All of the rules that you like to hang over my head
It gives me strength to step onto stage with
A violence i need to
Get through the day now
Controlled by all who
Tell me the way how
Gotta break
Wishing someone will see my smoke signals and help me
Out of my self defeating ways i would’t thank them
And stare into the sun until our
Eyes hurt because we
Know they can’t stop me
Ill map the way out
You start the car and
Lock the doors
Sweet gasoline
Set me free
Do it in the backseat
All eyes they want me
You never said it
I think you meant it
Lights stay on!
If this is it
I couldn’t give a shit!
‘Gainst the Concrete
Weaker now
Standing at the oracle I can’t
stay this way it’s me who ties my hands-
-ome boy with nothing good to do
Something or I’ll end up just like you
