about

Written during my first true song cycle back in 2008, it's the oldest track on the album. Day jobs suck. Have some adventures to break the monotony.

lyrics

The screaming begins when you enter the world
It's never understood and seldom heard
Your list of grievances will not be addressed
Because they tell you not to question once the babbling turns to words
and as your dreams overtake the night, some things just don't seem right

These walls of wood and stone just don't feel like your home
and you're suffocating in the space inside, but soon the truth is set loose
bred to consume and produce mediocrity and ordinary life

You raise your hand, your preparation was the best
Everything so neat and organized
You've memorized the answers to the questions on the test
but once you grow up to a man you find out they were all just lies
and you'll hear that dissonant note as you punch the security code

These walls of wood and stone just don't feel like your home
now you're suffocating in the space inside. and now you're going insane
you wanna bash in your brain so you can't think about this ordinary life

This day's too much like the last one, somebody pulled a fast one
a clever bait and switch to ordinary life......

It's a joy to be a slave, goose stepping to the grave

These walls of wood and stone never felt like your home
Now you're suffocating in the space inside, locked in a prison of fear
existing between your ears, man you can't stand living this ordinary life

These layers of flesh and bone never feel like your own
and you're suffocating in the space inside, and you just want off the ride
maybe those pills you're prescribed can help to take you from this
