Paper Tigers
I was the center of a carousel
I was immune to the circumstance
I felt the high of a sugar pill
Styrofoam plates with American flags
If difference isn't danger, familiar isn't safe
What is going home to a place that's been debased
I'm debased
Debased
There's no going home
Aging pages, thinning people
Chance free-will, molded motivations
Conditioning that is standing on a crumbling foundation
Stories telling people
Stories telling people
If difference isn't danger, familiar isn't safe
What is going home to a place that's been debased
I'm debased
Debased
There's no going home
I hate me the sound of liars
I hate me the paper tigers
I hate the desperate cling of cowards passed down like religion
Their stories whispered in my ear at night
Blurry stripes - it's overwhelming
Let me live a lie, familiar isn't safe
No going home. I hate this place
I am this place
There's no going home
I was immune to the circumstance
I felt the high of a sugar pill
Styrofoam plates with American flags
If difference isn't danger, familiar isn't safe
What is going home to a place that's been debased
I'm debased
Debased
There's no going home
Aging pages, thinning people
Chance free-will, molded motivations
Conditioning that is standing on a crumbling foundation
Stories telling people
Stories telling people
If difference isn't danger, familiar isn't safe
What is going home to a place that's been debased
I'm debased
Debased
There's no going home
I hate me the sound of liars
I hate me the paper tigers
I hate the desperate cling of cowards passed down like religion
Their stories whispered in my ear at night
Blurry stripes - it's overwhelming
Let me live a lie, familiar isn't safe
No going home. I hate this place
I am this place
There's no going home
