And when the sorrows come
They come to chew the fat about the phony you’ve become
As doubt begins to grow
Tender as a mothers love and pure as driven snow
-
When it’s either hesitate or die
You’ve got to learn to swallow fear or kiss your wildest dreams goodbye
Arrogance becomes a product of your pride when you can’t afford to fail and you don’t care if it’s a lie
Step into the light
Navigate the landscape
Something in the water’s perpetuating a trance state
There’s nothing holy in the man-made
When you get to heaven greet the devil with a handshake
-
Cue the existential crisis
Pick your poison for that dilated iris
Put you on the nice-list
Isn’t the feeling priceless?
Every cause – righteous
Blinded by the brightness
(Making the pagan pious)
-
Cause’ it’s enough to bring you to your knees
(Take a trip to a Land Afar)
Take a trip to a Land Afar
Every sorry sight you’d never want to see
(Take a trip to a Land After)
Take a trip to a Land Afar
Every place you thought you’d never want to go
(Take a trip to a Land After)
Take a trip to a Land Afar
Each emotion that you’d never want to show
(Take a trip to a Land After)
Take a trip to a Land Afar
-
Alone like a loner
Waiting in a line of broken-hearted organ donors
And I try to keep composure
As I move a little closer
To the window with the light on and the number of my order
And I say, “hello, I’m here to pay my dues”
And the lady at the window looks at me a bit confused
she says, “Who are you?”
Like sorry you haven’t heard?
I’m just a part within a whole; I’m just a letter in a word”
-
I thought I was depressed but it’s only the black mold
Every thought that I repressed, I’m welcoming back home
No there’s no hope living as a prisoner of circumstance
Labors of the working man
Plot it on a diagram
-
And when the albatross flatlines
We’ll wash away the inhumanity of mankind
And let our freak flags flutter
As we’re all inherently a part of one another
-
You’ve never seen yourself, only images and reflections
I wonder what about yourselves beyond your own detection
-
Cause’ it’s enough to bring you to your knees
(Take a trip to a Land Afar)
Take a trip to a Land Afar
Every sorry sight you’d never want to see
(Take a trip to a Land After)
Take a trip to a Land Afar
Every place you thought you’d never want to go
(Take a trip to a Land After)
Take a trip to a Land Afar
Each emotion that you’d never want to show
(Take a trip to a Land After)
Take a trip to a Land Afar
