Machetes
Someone pulled the ol' bait and switch on us, didn't they?
or perhaps it's the nature of things to become what they once were not.
for something beautiful slowly will become something plain and ordinary
When you stare in the mirror can you still see yourself?
or staring back at you, is there something else
do you ignore the change
and pretend it's all the same?
How am I not myself?
In a dark and hopeless mess there are two shades of wrong we choose to align with
and both are leading us deep into the precipice of confusion and control
in a world full of questions and mysteries and concerns
everyone's barking up their own tree
at their own little kittens they believe to be
monsters saviors bringers of the end
how am I not myself
vision is fleeting my heart is beating
but to a different drum it might seem
and my heart is tearing between those ensnaring
and those pushing pushing pushing me around
vision is fleeting my heart is beating
but to a different drum it might seem
and my heart is tearing between those ensnaring
and those pushing pushing pushing me around
or perhaps it's the nature of things to become what they once were not.
for something beautiful slowly will become something plain and ordinary
When you stare in the mirror can you still see yourself?
or staring back at you, is there something else
do you ignore the change
and pretend it's all the same?
How am I not myself?
In a dark and hopeless mess there are two shades of wrong we choose to align with
and both are leading us deep into the precipice of confusion and control
in a world full of questions and mysteries and concerns
everyone's barking up their own tree
at their own little kittens they believe to be
monsters saviors bringers of the end
how am I not myself
vision is fleeting my heart is beating
but to a different drum it might seem
and my heart is tearing between those ensnaring
and those pushing pushing pushing me around
vision is fleeting my heart is beating
but to a different drum it might seem
and my heart is tearing between those ensnaring
and those pushing pushing pushing me around
