Shame

there's a lonely silence lurking through the air
insecurities comb my body more than they ever did
is there a way to break free from these strains?
reflections they're so deep it's hard to maintain
it's a shame, it's a shame
oh it's a shame to walk your whole lifetime only knowing pain
more times than many i've done wrong
memories so engraved i regret them all
i was always taught in life you got to give it all
and to always get back up when you fall
i don't mind, i don't mind
sometimes i don't mind if i just lay down and die
what does this life want from me?
why is it constantly testing me?
do i have the strength inside of me
to walk this path laid out in front of me?
it's a shame, it's a shame
oh it's a shame to walk your whole lifetime only knowing pain
i don't mind, i don't mind
sometimes i don't mind if i just lay down and die
it's a shame, i don't mind
it's a shame i don't mind if i just lay down and die

The Animal

all my friends are telling me that
they've sorted out our broken state
they look at me and think i'm crazy
i look at them and think the same
they got a plan that they are preaching
a remedy they wanna sell
and you can buy if you're not leaving
but if you are you can go to hell
they praise their god, they praise their freedom
they celebrate the great debate
but victory is always sweeter
when guaranteed at the gate
they call it choice, i call it treason
and still i play on bended knee
this game of theirs you all believe in
or maybe don't and feel the same
you can hate my lack of answers
and you can hate my prying eyes
but do not hate a broken system
hate yourself for keeping it alive
so idealists say keep on trying
and anarchists say light the match
but the animal that sleeps inside you
knows the truth and sits and laughs
