Too Close to the Sun

Fuck join-em

We only wanna beat'em

And then we eat'em up

That's how we treat'em, 'cause

Someone on TV said

"They're takin' our freedom!"

But the only things they take

Are these bullets we feed'em

Fuck trying

It's like we're slowly dying

We could be sowing and growing

We're just drying up

Our green thumb can only cultivate the numb

And callous hearts have taken root in some

Falling, we're falling

The darkness is calling

We're trapped in the shadow of

Our new chosen one

Father oh Father

We thought that we could trust ya

But these wax wings are melting

We're too close too the sun

Forget logic

And throw away your science

It only fosters dangerous defiance

You'll reject reason

Unless you're into treason

The only patriot is a compliant fool

The go-getters

Compete with blood letters

With medicine as currency

But not a tool

Forget giving

How can you go on living?

If you don't take it all

You'll lose the right to rule

A mandate with its providence in hate

Our hollow hearts are destroying this place

Falling, we're falling

The darkness is calling

We're trapped in the shadow of

Our new chosen one

Father oh Father

We thought that we could trust ya

But these wax wings are melting

We're too close to the sun

Feels like we're tumbling down

And the walls are falling all around

Feels like we're losing control

Falling deep into a big dark hole

And I wish that hope was alive

But somehow the dream has died

Falling, we're falling

We thought that we were flying

But these wax wings are melting
