lyrics

Refrain from your numbing
A dark fair is coming
To your town
The fruits of your labor
Will offer no savior
On our grounds
Pinch closed your noses
And kiss all the roses goodbye
The sky is falling
The children are crawling inside
Here's your ticket
Come right in
Come in see the show
Here the spirit won't grow
And the mouth doesn't close
It just swallows you whole

We're born into mystery and dotted in history
We walk with a fist or a wave
Some have whistles and bells,
some the deepest of wells
Some are free, some oblivious slaves
Many glide with the grain and few guide with refrain
But inside we remain much the same
We are flesh over bone on the inside alone
And our vying hearts battle our logical brain

Many will follow, the fearful, the hollow
The shallow, the callow, the cohorts of creed
But leaders don't lead 'less creating new leaders
Upon which more leaders will seed
Some will make claims to be prophets or saints
But the faith will be flavored in fear
A promise of hell will keep turtles in shells
So approach with a cynical ear

There are angels and devils among us each
exchanging blows
One to the other, then each running for cover
Each tugging ends of a thick wire rope
On the opposite sides of a volcanic slope
And anytime anyone pulls very far
You can count on another tug back to the start
So be it a deity, peasant, or czar
An all-knowing wiseman or ill-burning star
If you're basking in light or you're lost in the dark
Asleep or awake in this moment you are
We're all angels and devils and beggars and thieves
We're fakers and fools with our hearts on our sleeves
We're sulfurous serpents with gluttonous gaze
That obscures the horizon in dazzling haze
And the mouse cannot master this meddlesome maze
But his willful submission will gather him praise

There you are so carefully plain
8 hours sealed in a jar
A breakfast cake at a 10:30 stop
Dance with me, bask in my limitless rays
Over here feel my tentacles
Slide through your curls
Channels change
But the glow stays the same

Children don't follow
The swallowing mouth doesn't close
Even the tallest trees
Crawl from the smallest seeds souls

There you are so patient in vain
A freedom you see from afar
Any day til you make your escape
Dance with me, bask in my chemical ways
Are you there?
Feel my chemicals
Burn through your pours
Patterns change
But the ghosts still remain

Children don't follow
The swallowing mouth doesn't close
Even the tallest trees
Crawl from the smallest seeds souls
Inhale, Exhale, everybody's equal here
