Familiar Creatures

Unwrap, pull the ribbon back
Unpack, put it in the stack
Trying to find where the heart is at
Found it all in a heart attack
Gotta know where it started at
Before the future pistol whips ya
Digging down deep, at the family tree
Trying to manage me, see bigger picture
Things change when the seed is grown
Different way but to each their own
Half sane and I'm half way home
Street light flickers, then flash, then gone
Should've known wouldn't lasted long
Handful of ashes blown
Picked up by the wind and carried on into the passing dawn

Smoke along the horizon, rising
Merge with the clouds
Days are slowly sliding, finding
Their way among the crowds

Familiar creatures moving speechless
Indistinctive features
Organic species or synthetic
Doesn't change it's reaches
Symbiotic, this chaotic and toxic logic
Sucks the oxygen out of the room, hypoxic
Barely breathing believing we've missed our chance at reason
Another season turns over, reflection battered, bleeding
Every assessment of self, smattering, vacuous
Tried to move it beyond, keep coming back to this

Smoke along the horizon, rising
Merge with the clouds
Days are slowly sliding, finding
Their way among the crowds

Every way we slice it it's the same
Call it by some other name
Shifting and shuffle blame
Ain't nothing changed
Every way we move the scene is still
Projections from a stripped out reel
Turning on a carousel
In heaven's hell

Smoke along the horizon, rising
Merge with the clouds
Days are slowly sliding, finding
Their way among the crowds
