  • We've been through hell. Sewn up our eyes
    Found fuel in meds. Viewed through the narrow
    Encouraged fear when so inclined
    Bought peace through wars that doomed our children to die

    Ego is sure to fix the world
    Served up to happy boys and girls

    I'd make a decision if granted the privilege
    But I'm afraid my taste is unrefined
    And no one likes cheap wine

    When the clouds kiss your eye
    Shadows stain on the high-rise
    Raise your thumb to the sky
    Fossilize

    You own the burg. We sleep in streets
    You dine then waste. We forage to eat
    Well who pays the tab when you cross the line?
    Who writes the check? Who's herding the swine?

    Just takes a fence to rule the roost
    As long as the scale has been reduced

    How can we see the outside of the pen when survival has possession of our minds?
    Calmly walk the line

    When the clouds kiss your eye
    Shadows stain on the high-rise
    Raise your thumb to the sky
    Fossilize
    All good things come with time
    When you know then you'll know
    Such a marvelous find in an illusion

    (Vlader Lauder sat in sorrow
    For all his teeth had gone
    He drank sweet rum
    While fingering his gun
    And eyeballed a feast
    Not one bite he could eat
    Somebody cut off his head!)

    Dear radiation my sweet friend
    Let agents dance upon my nerves
    Let sunlight glow under my skin
    Let toxins seep into my soul

    When the clouds kiss your eye
    Shadows stain on the high-rise
    Raise your thumb to the sky
    Fossilize
    All good things come with time
    When you know then you'll know
    Such a marvelous time I will find in an illusion
    It's an illusion Writer/s: Brian Elwin Haner, Brooks Wackerman, Jonathan Lewis Seward, Matthew Charles Sanders, Zachary James Baker

  • Austin Mcmullin from Noneya BidnessThe very last line of the song is eerily close to the last line in Tool's song "Parabol"
