A Nonchalant Uprising

lyrics

Oop there goes another deadhead zombie, that we don’t get

You got inside, you brought a lot of the things that you would not quit
You wouldn’t quit

Everybody knows, what their future holds

Until the day when roads fill in through the soul
They crumble and they crawl
Sucked in by a mall
Until the other day, another nonchalant uprising
It’s just another one of those things


You hear something in the distance, you follow it out of your mind
In the sound there rests a little town, and you wait outside
You’ve gone to live in my head then you tell me I’m dead but that you wouldn’t shed

What kind of wings have I, if they can’t help me to fly
I guess I might just stand
In weighted sand


Everybody knows, what their future holds

Everybody knows, when they’re off in droves
Your candy coated chains
Off in lieu of air
Sail these ‘sylum walls
We’ve got a lot of something, yeah
Nonchalant uprising, hey

We live a dream where it’s better to never be seen, or ever sought. 

You’ve gotta tin some money to build a lot of holes atop a little spot.

You listen questioning, you question out the brain: your inner solving hut
The danger of your high, exchanger of your mind, yeah you know what
