lyrics

Everytime I try. Lying wide awake
Every minute you buy. A minute I take
Walking mighty tall. A bug that you squash
Another life is lost. A life is the cost

Lying dead asleep. I don't even try (anymore)
Every promise I keep. I'm not your bad guy (anymore)
Picturing the sun. Compared to us
How much bigger are you? Next to a dead bug?

Every seed you sew. Sitting all alone.
Covered up in dirt. Even in the unknown
Knows which way to go. Looking for the sun
Before it can grow. Into the place it can call home

Do you feel the ants? Burrowing closer
Biting at the roots? Moving is hopeless
Crawling on your limbs? Get me outta here
Eating up your fruits. I'm stuck going nowhere

Wake up it's a dream. I don't have dreams anymore
Throw it all away. I like life as a crash coarse
Just go back to sleep. My bed doesn't like me
Your will is weak. You're one to speak!

ARE YOU IN THE BACKSEAT?
OR ARE YOU RIDING SHOTGUN?
HAVE YOU BEEN IN THE TRUNK?
THEN WHO'S THE ONE DRIVIN'?
This is my life!
ARE YOU IN THE BACKSEAT?
OR ARE YOU RIDING SHOTGUN?
HAVE YOU BEEN IN THE TRUNK?
THEN WHO'S THE ONE DRIVIN'?
This is your life!

I've been waiting my turn, sitting in classes only to wake up and hurt
and find lastly that they're holding our world away.
Who is they? Some people SOME trust with life, whom others say Nay.
Many are "Teachers", others we "voted for"
If they're not helping us, what are they here for?

So many on a Power Trip from a Golden a'Pentagram and
just'a spreadin' the meanness with every circumstance
We can only make our minds up for ourselves,
why do we give our power to someone else?

What do we NEED to know? REALITY
How could we Ever Know? THE RIDDLES
Why wasn't I told so? Fear works best on us
After searching, Now I Know so! GOOGLE IT!

ARE YOU IN THE BACKSEAT?
OR ARE YOU RIDING SHOTGUN?
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN THE TRUNK?
THEN WHO'S THE ONE DRIVIN'?
This is YOUR life!

Eccentric, Excitable, Experimental, Outside The Box, and lyrically there's always a message. Otherwise I leave it instrumental and let the music do the talking.
