lyrics

On your conveyor belt
With the question marks
The truth set free
The worst cynic inside of me
I wanted your gravity
To stop for me
Ooooo maybe I could fly
If your nature could be redefined
PATH LAID BY A DIFFERENT GUIDING HAND
WAITING FOR ITS NERVELESS GRIP TO PASS
We'll all grow toward the sun
From our flower beds
Pushing to new life
Above the dirty earth we rise
But your idea of what's right
Can be an ugly thing,
Can strip humanity
Away from anyone you see
PATH LAID BY A DIFFERENT GUIDING HAND
PATH LAID BY A DIFFERENT GUIDING HAND
WAITING FOR ITS NERVELESS GRIP TO PASS
WAITING FOR ITS NERVELESS GRIP TO PASS
youve been haunted all your life
but you befriend the ghosts that
dont even try to hide their darkness, that can be charmin i guess
the truth set free a
parasite of doubt inside ya
i wish you'd it FLUSH IT OUT
WHY BE YOURSELF
WHEN YOU COULD BE COLUMBO?
AND GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT ALL
LOOK WHAT YOUR MIND CAN DO
MAKE DESTINY ALL ABOUT YOU
AND THE FORTUNE YOU'RE ENTITLED TO, right?
youre not so sure what you believe in
you boil it down this
if there's a god, he should be doing tricks....right?
and hey is that a music clef tattoo?
wow you must really love music, damn
do ya like my band? no?
WHY BE YOURSELF
WHEN YOU CAN BE A CRITIC
AND BLESS THE WORLD WITH CYNICISM
A FUTURE UNMANNED
OUT IN THE MOVING SEA
I'LL BE WHERE THE WAVES CARRY ME
