You're dozing off and on again
Waiting for the day to end
Did you pay the rent
Put yourself in debt
You're wasting so much time again
It's sending me around the bend
You defend it you pretend that you don't care
Cause you're a criminal and I don't think it's funny
You're lying to yourself, you'll never change
And if I could I'd burn you with all the money that you misuse
Your time is up
And so is mine
You're dragging us all down again
You take for granted you overspend
Your mind is dead
And your life's a trend
You're staring at your phone again
You're self absorbed, you're not my friend
And I don't care in the end
I don't care in the end
You've wasted your time
Kept pretending its fine
I've been patient with you
But you're out of time
Time is not on your side

Hey you who rule
Hear our call
Today's for all
We want it all
Hey you who horde
Hear our call
We want some more
We want it all
Kick down the walls
Sick of your rules
Force fed in school
Turned us to fools
Taught us our thoughts
Forged into tools
Took what we sought
It turned us to fools
We're all just cogs
In the machine
In the machine
Forged into tools
What does it mean
What does it mean
In the machine
Hey you who rule
Hear our call
Today's for all
We want it all
Hey you who horde
Hear our call
We want some more
We want it all
Everyone run
Grab a gun
Time has come
We want it all

Get up above, one ain't enough
Better get up, amongst the stars
Got what I want, got what I need
Roll it up cut it up fill it up please
Losing my mind, feeling divine
Peaking and tweaking and I'ma get high
Lost inside of this space and this time
Activate, elevate, out of my mind
Up to the moon, into the void
Another one down to keep up with the boys
Space is devoid, it's lonely out here
It doesn't matter the skies they do clear
Anonymous thoughts wonder my head
Starting to doubt I can lay em to bed
And so instead I look at the sky
Get ready to open my mind
So we flew to the moon
We were floating, became marooned
Amongst the stars
You'll never find us we're lost
I lost my mind, lost the time
Tripping over myself and I'm blind
Woke up in hell, what do I see
Woke my demons how could it be
Unfamiliar reflections
Tripping in every direction
Struggle to make a connection
Lost in my own perception
I'm skating on thin ice
I'm on the brink
Don't know how I feel
Don't know what to think
But it's true that I'm lost
Like the pink albatross
In my room that I dropped
I don't care all that much
But it's true that I'm lost
Hear the moon way too much
In the moon I got lost
In blue moon

Wasteland

This is a wasteland that we call home
A thousand sheep in line behind the counter
Grazing away your hard earned pay
You lost yourself in the company name
The bourgeois
Don't wanna make a change
Don't wanna cause a scene
No change, no way
Our time, we pay
Grazing away
No hope, no say
Don't wanna make a change
This is a wasteland that we call home
Finding new ways to kill the boredom
We wait on our paycheques day by day
Distracted by the television
Just don't forget
Forget your place

I'm only playing this for her
Never made it any easier
Having the spotlight on my face
Doesn't change the fact
She's moved on and I've gone blue
Everybody's heading downward
Tell me what it's like to have superpowers
I wouldn't want control of another person's soul cause
I don't find it fun playing with loaded guns
But I keep her
I'm only playing this for her
Star of the show she never learned
Oh the spotlight on my face
Makes it worse in fact
She's moved on and I'm still blue
The things that people say to me
Changes what successfully
Puts us at the top of the world
My habits aren't the same
I am barely in the game
I can't help but scream your name
My habits aren't the same
(But it just makes life worse)
My feelings haven't changed
I only play for her
