Easy Listening

If you're not surreal Are you even real What makes you different Tell me, what makes you different Why do you walk like that Why do you wear like that What's your statement Sacrifice A brutal display of devotion The entire thing revolves around devotion and sacrifice And some things I wonder Sometimes I wonder Is there any other way I crave attention Brutal display The animals on the screen Do you wish you could do the same I never wanted to be anything less than perfect Maybe that was something you gave to me Winners smile, a loser's complexion Just like the others Just like the others Now I'm just another guy It calls my name And I feel the same Do you feel it too? Dirt under my rotten nails That I've neglected to replace Old judgements ive raised from the dead A parasite burrowing through My hardened narrow mind It controls me Or do I control it You tell me I can control how I react Quiet judgements That grow in the quiet night Is healing a raging bull Is peace a quiet observer Lantern in hand, throat slit bleeding He knows my name And the weight it carries Quiet judgements That grow in the quiet night Is healing a raging bull Is peace a quiet observer Lantern in hand, throat slit bleeding He knows my name And the weight it carries Heavy sigh That hangs in hereditary tension You dont respond When I speak to you I dont respond When you ask me questions Perhaps silence Is the final answer As I listen to your words They cut me to pieces But I cannot move Or even begin to change I can only describe it as Easy listening (You may ask me how I know my god is real) Years later, here I am Speaking in tongues of my own Just a stones throw, home grown A meager lesson when you grab the phone (A machine ever churning My mind ever questioning) You know you're alone (And I hold the blade between my teeth) Butterflies of a certain kind In highschool art class I always liked how gravelly his voice was But I chose a different path If I could just find the perfect moment To recede And show you every single part that lies inside of me That'd be fine with me (Sacrifice) There's a creature in the valley And I want to know his name He approaches when the sun's down (Brutal devotion to sacrifice) He's a mirror, we're the same And I feel like, I feel- I really feel like I'm seeing you for the first time The first time Like I'm seeing you for the very first time You wanted attention Now you'll get what you deserve If I could just find myself in that valley That mirror, that alley I can hear the audience around me They demand a good show And I'll give it to them I always do I always do I always do I always do I always do I always do I always do I always do
