the stage
[01:39.16] So I arrived, naked and cold
[01:42.60] A welcomed change from the abeyance of a ghost town catacomb
[01:47.10] No need for counsel, I appreciate the time I'm not alone
[01:51.37] (Why don't you get my lawyer on the phone?)
[01:53.50] There were days these child eyes
[01:56.94] Would overlook the ugliness and fantasize
[02:01.20] I found my heart for the first time and I awakened in me
[02:04.90] I left myself to navigate... and oh I felt control
[02:09.70] (It seems these sheep have quite an appetite)
[02:15.00] Who is the crowd that peers through the cage
[02:21.91] As we perform here upon the stage?
[02:35.99] As the boy became a man
[02:39.44] In came a calm sophistication I can hardly understand
[02:43.97] So lost in ego, didn't notice when the time had slipped away
[02:48.21] (Yeah, everybody's got a sob story)
[02:50.59] Jesus Christ was born to die
[02:53.52] Leave it to man to levitate his own to idolize
[02:58.03] We're simply sociopaths with no communication baby
[03:01.74] I see your angle but we differ from our points of view
[03:06.54] (So tell me, what's your cross to bear?)
[03:12.11] Who is the crowd that peers through the cage
[03:18.50] As we perform here upon the stage?
[03:26.18] Tell me a lie in a beautiful way
[03:32.84] I believe in answers, just not today
[05:24.64] Hope my wheels don't abandon me now
[05:28.64] Seeing that I'm out here alone
[05:32.35] I'm running out of fight
[05:39.00] And the wind speaks a comforting voice
[05:42.98] Guiding me to her arms
[05:46.43] Mother, I'm alright
[05:51.20] It took the birth of sin to snake-rattle the mind
[05:54.93] Before a blow to the head by the gavel of time
[05:58.64] To wake up
[06:01.85] Won't you wake up?
[06:05.54] When did the walking apes decide that nuclear war
[06:09.27] Was the only solution for them keeping the score?
[06:13.80] Just wake up
[06:16.18] Can't you wake up?
[06:31.33] (You do know this is just a simulation, don't you?)
[06:41.67] Who is the crowd that peers through the cage
[06:48.32] As we perform here upon the stage?
[06:55.76] Tell me a lie in a beautiful way
[07:02.40] I believe in answers, just not today
