They called me crazy
When I showed up on the scene
Took a major modern city
And painted it rattle can green
Now nobody laughs
At my political machine
They call me “Great and Powerful”
Like they know what that means…
It’s all a lie,
But when you fall from the sky
You’d be amazed at what will fly
If you’ve got the guts to try it
Now I’m
All tangled up in green -
When they asked for magic, I delivered.
Don’t look behind the screen -
I’m a good man… But a lousy wizard.
Back home in Kansas,
I was nothin’ but a sham.
I was a homely little humbug
Just a shadow of a man
Now here I am!
I’m the wizard with the plan!
Just don’t ask to me to reveal it -
‘Cause I don’t think that I can.
It’s not allowed.
You can scrape, you can bow,
But no one gets to see the wizard,
Not nobody, not no how, now I’m -
All tangled up in green -
Let the Munchkins call me lily-livered…
Don’t look behind the screen -
I’m a good man… But a lousy wizard.
Lately I’ve been filled with doubt
If they ever found me out…
Oh, God, there’d be hell to pay,
And I guess that’s only fair…
See the wizard stand alone,
A liar on an emerald throne…
I miss the mornings at the county fairs
When they’d wait for my balloon to take them so high in the air
When they knew the magic was a trick, and no one really cared
That’s what they came for…
Witches to the south and west,
Witches to the east,
I’m the joker in the middle,
And I’m lying through my teeth
I’m having a blast
I just hope that I can keep
Up all the ruses I’ve been using
If the people stay asleep
I should be fine -
Pay that curtain no mind!
It’s my last line of defense,
And there’s so much on the line…
Now I’m -
All tangled up in green -
There are consequences to consider
Don’t look behind the screen -
I’m a good man… But a lousy wizard.
All tangled up in green -
If you ask for magic, I’ll deliver.
Don’t look behind the screen -
I’m a good man… But a lousy wizard.

Hanky Code - Secret Lair
02:15
|

There’s a secret trap door
on the main floor
near the foyer
but instead let’s take the secret stairway
to the dungeon
it’s not a dungeon
it’s for laundry and some secret
luncheons that I host down there
don’t be scared
let me show you around my secret lair.
There’s a secret passage
at the back edge
of the kitchen,
it’s exactly like that other glitch in
that old board game
and the door frame
has some booby traps so just beware
and step with care
if you dare
while I show you around my secret lair
There’s a secret painting
with some eye holes
when the bell tolls
you will swear it seems like someone’s spying
yes they’re trying
it’s mortifying
and they’re messing up the secret wiring
I installed upstairs
but who cares?
Let me show you around my secret lair.
Welcome to my secret lair.

A call came, an emergency
In the middle of the night
A neighbor said they were at it again
They were having another fight
When more than an hour later
The cops finally arrived
The man's blood was everywhere
A knife stuck in his side
A woman sitting silently, looking straight ahead
They took her into custody
They took her straight to jail
They asked her questions for hours on end
She only said, "Go to hell!"
They asked her if he was hurting her
If it was self defense
But she refused to say a word
She kept them in suspense
A woman sitting silently, staring straight ahead
And no-one can understand why she won't tell the truth
She won't tell us what he did, how she suffered the abuse
And the reason will never be revealed
She'll take it to her grave
The bailiff asked the room to rise
But she stayed in her seat
The judge was asking her the questions
But she refused to speak
It didn't take them long to vote
For the verdict to be reached
They put the chains around each wrist
Then they put them around her feet
A woman sitting silently, staring straight ahead
And no-one can understand why she won't tell the truth
She won't tell us what he did, how she suffered the abuse
And the reason will never be revealed
She'll take it to her grave

If you’re looking for a puzzle to solve to
Test your resolve
Well I’ve got a message for you
Illuminated with a billion little clues
The key to the cipher is some
Keen observation
All the bells and the whistles are
Flat out obfuscation
You might not know what to think
But if you read read read
Between the lines you’ll see that
How I feel about you is
Written in invisible ink
It’s written in invisible ink
If you’re drawn to a bit of a mystery it’s
Time to trace the history there’s
Chemistry sure to make a mark
And bring a little light back into the dark
What I wanna say is
Written on the vellum
If you want to find out you’ll
Have to add an alum
I promise if you don’t overthink it
And you treat treat treat
It right you’ll see that
How I feel about you is
Written in invisible ink
It’s written in invisible ink
(Oak gall and vitriol)
(When you heat it up honey you'll learn what you want to know)
(How I feel about you is written in invisible ink)
The key to the cipher is some
Keen observation-ation-ation
All the bells and the whistles are
Flat out obfuscation-scation-scation
You might not know just what to think
But if you read between the lines
You'll see it's all there
In invisible ink

Firefly - It's Juicy

Riding incognito on the bus
I overhear
Her job’s on the bubble
Recognizable street shoes
In the next stall
A marriage in trouble
Now I know something you don’t know
No fun if I tell you right away
How much will you beg me to say
Is there a place we can go
It’s about someone you know
Just 5 seconds on the floor,I look around
and pick it up.
Now it sits on your dessert
I read a lot of books. I’ll prove it.
Over wine and cheese
You’re so clueless, it hurts
I know something you don’t know
Can’t wait to see your reaction
My chant rings loud, gonna take you back some
Folks like you don’t realize
Your beliefs are based on lies
Pulled a wallet from the pocket of a dead guy
His bones now reside
Between my shirts and my neckties
Now I’ve got something you don’t know
No fun if I tell you right away
How much will you beg me to say
Secret plans on a vacant desk
Should I save those who are left?
Yeah, should I share to save the rest?
I know something you don’t know
(Is there) somewhere private we can go
There’s something you just gotta see
Can’t tell you yet, but it’s juicy.
(I know something you don't know - fade)
|

6. |
||||
Go on, take it with you to the grave
There’s nothing else you can save
Can’t take it with you
No one will miss you
Everybody knows what you are
No one will wish on your star
Leave it all behind
All comes out in time
Nobody loves you for you
It’s only what you can do
They’re just as rotten inside
They’ll be swept out with your tide
Can’t take it with you
No one will miss you
Can’t take it with you
No one will miss you

I'm hokkigai, a mollusk
She says that I'm selfish
I'm just a shellfish
I want to keep my insides inside me
She's such a sushi master
Thin blade knives and meat picks
Her Japanese tricks
She wants to cut me so wide, so wide and
Serve with rice and thin sliced veggies
Wrapped in crispy sheets of nori
Pickled ginger and wasabi
Share with all her friends
A man is a clam (x3)
Women wanna turn us into sushi
The tighter I am clamping
Holding back or hiding
The harder she pries
She tries to get inside inside me

Four boys
Found something amiss
Crossed teeth
Lipless grimace
In Hagley Wood
In ‘43
A skull within a Wych Elm tree
Taffeta cloth
Forced in your mouth
Your skeleton sleeps
In a wooden shroud
Chop down the tree
No rings to count
The trail gone cold
While rumours abound
White paint graffiti
Writ for all to see
Who put Bella in the Wych Elm?
Who put Bella in the Wych Elm?
Did you awake
In your living tomb?
Scratch at the walls
Realise you were doomed?
But somebody knows what happened to you
Fear we’re unable
To unearth the truth
Who put Bella in the Wych Elm?
Who put Bella in the Wych Elm?
Who put Bella in the Wych Elm?
Who put Bella in the Wych Elm?
I don’t care what secrets you sold
No-one deserves to die in the cold
Who put Bella in the Wych Elm?
Who put Bella in the Wych Elm?
Who put Bella in the Wych Elm?
Who put Bella in the Wych Elm?

I slammed the door and flew right down the stairs out from your mother's
I dodged the growling dog who's always been quite warm to others
Couldn't let you get the last word, one that always cuts the keenest
It was the last word that would ever pass between us
there's something I really should have told you
that I really should have told you but
I made all my mistakes and now you're gone
there's something I really should have told you
and I know that you're too cold to
even care; I should have told you but you're gone
you looked so very tiny in my filthy rear view mirror
as grudges often tend to once your head's a little clearer
and when the funeral home sent round a postcard to invite me
sheepishly I dropped the grudge I'd held onto so tightly
there's something I really should have told you
that I really should have told you but
I made all my mistakes and now you're gone
there's something I really should have told you
and I know that you're too cold to
even care; I should have told you but you're gone
so I'll tell it to your ashes that I buried in the backyard
not spread to sea like I promised I would do
just one more trivial disservice
it might be for the best you never knew
there's nothing I could have done to stop you
your mind was made up long before we met
I know I'm not the only reason
but being one is something I regret
I should have told you but you're gone
there's something I really should have told you
that I really should have told you but
I made all my mistakes and now you're gone
there's something I really should have told you
and I know that you're too cold to
even care; I should have told you but you're gone

Verse
Flashes of bright lights are keeping me up at night
Recurring images of footsteps in riverbanks
Rope burning ankles as DIY handles
For the bricks getting heavy drag down down
Scrubbed my hands raw peeling the skin
Bottles of bleach, don't wash away sin
Still don't feel clean clothes dripping in gasoline
Torturous mind spirals down down
Chorus
Somebody knows
Hiding in shadows
Somebody knows, knows what you've done
Somebody knows
Hiding in shadows
Somebody knows, knows what you've done
Verse
Walking the streets, I'm wary of eyes
Scared that they know what's going on inside
This paranoia paralysing, prosecuting for life
Into the dark down down
Chorus
Somebody knows
Hiding in shadows
Somebody knows, knows what you've done
Somebody knows
Hiding in shadows
Somebody knows, knows what you've done

What does it matter if I tell you now?
This awful secret that I’ve kept somehow
I bottled it up and squir’lled it inside
Now my heart is dying and I’m barely alive
The guilty ignore their conscience and risk a dissonant brain and a near-constant crisis
It’s a tiny detail from aeons ago
I thought you’d noticed and it started to show
I distracted with presents and ebullient charm
I held my nerve when you raised the alarm
The guilty ignore their conscience and risk a dissonant brain and a near-constant crisis
Our mutual friends they will take your side
This never ends until one of us decides
The guilty ignore their conscience and risk a dissonant brain and a near
constant crisis
We look out and down across a wide-mouthed bay
The crashing waves wash the rocks away; I gave the game away
I looked before I leapt so did not jump
You may not be so lucky if I give you a nudge

small town denial
judgement
carried out without a trial
he won't deserve we miss him
he made a fool of everyone
anyone in her position
is too tangled up to run
a peculiar kind of justice
but trust that it was done
street lights
gone dark
strange sounds
from the woods behind the park
where all the wild things are
shadows moving
towards the water
god forgive our
sons and daughters
the books are balanced
when her work is through
this town can keep a secret
and so can you
the nightmare
mist lifts
blank fear
is now made clear and eclipsed
she was covered in bruises
from years of abuses
and those who would choose his
deflections, excuses
anyone could understand
you took your own heart in her own hands
no need to confess
this town will bless
doing what it might take
chaining you was his mistake
he should have known
you'd cut before you'd break
he wouldn't let you leave but now you're safe
shadows moving
towards the water
god forgive our
sons and daughters
the books are balanced
when her work is through
this town can keep a secret
and so can you
the books are balanced
when her work is through
this town can keep a secret
and so can you

Dear diary I’ve got something to say.
words I can’t speak out loud, so I'll write them down
I shoulder the weight of them
Send them through this burdened pen
If I carry them much longer I might drown
The world outside is suffocating
within this page I’m liberated
I give you my all secrets
you ease my mind.
It tires me, wears my soul down each day
To play a part on the stage, and not hide in the page.
A shadow of what I feel,
But would they accept what’s real?
Or would they turn their backs and just walk away
The world outside is suffocating
within this page I’m liberated
I give you my all secrets
you ease my mind.
Someday far from now, When the ink runs dry
I won’t need this armor to get me by
I won’t need to hide in words just so I can fit in,
A future spoken proudly, a diary unwritten
Inspire me, Lead me away from this place
I’m lost in this crowd with pen and paper vows
Scratching away the pain, Tears and Ink smeared in the rain
Standing alone, always searching, never found.
The world outside is suffocating
within this page I’m liberated
I give you my all secrets
you ease my mind.
The world outside just won’t keep waiting
I turn the page, sign and date it
I gave you all my secrets
Now,
ease
my mind.

Verse
Out in the desert
I met a spiritual man
We became quick friends
And he surprised me
He pulled some seeds from his pocket
He said they don't have a name
We call them the ancient ones
The orange vines will amaze
Chorus
Plant these seeds,
Watch them grow
Let the vines entice you
Learn it's secrets
But never tell a soul
Watch them dance
See them glow
Let them mesmerize you
Learn it's secrets
But never tell a soul
Verse
Back in my home town
I dug a hole in the yard
I tended to the plants
And watched as they grew up
The beautiful color
I stared for hours a day
I started hearing voices
What are they saying
Bridge
I understand, I understand
The secrets whispered by the land
It's all so clear
There's really nothing to fear
I understand, I understand
The secrets whispered by the land
The universe, it all makes sense
But I can't speak to anyone
Chorus
Plant these seeds,
Watch them grow
Let the vines entice you
Learn it's secrets
But never tell a soul
Watch them dance
See them glow
Let them mesmerize you
Learn it's secrets
But never tell a soul

I couldn’t sleep last night
The moon was too bright
Your dream made you smile
It took me by surprise
I wanted to stop time
Help you stay there a while
Will I ever know why
Most nights you cry
You're holding onto bad cards
But you don’t have to be
You're hidin' like you’re a part
Of a secret society a secret society
Who was it taught you this
Can't trust a lover's kiss
A helping hand ain’t a gift
It's just an unfurled fist
A lover’s promise
Just vows written in mist
Let me be the plot twist
I wanna love you better than this
You're holding onto bad cards
But you don’t have to be
You're hidin' like you’re a part
Of a secret society a secret society

Don’t say anything
Not a single peep
Just keep it buried deep
Not a word to anybody
They’ll try to get you rattled
There’s nothing you can’t handle
A secret’s only as good as it can keep
You know too well what happens
when one’s loyalty runs thin
Just remember eyes are everywhere
Don’t say anything
I have no idea
I have not one
I’ll take the consequences
You may drag me away
You can break my legs
You can keep my eyes from seeing
You can tie my hands behind my back
You can cause my vertebrae to crack
You can put cement around my socks
You can do whatever
I won’t talk
And I will walk...
I don’t know what you want
That’s all I know
You’re going to have to believe me
You can hobble my feet
You can pull my teeth
You can keep my lungs from breathing
You can tie my hands behind my back
You can cause my vertebrae to crack
You can put cement around my socks
You can do whatever
I won’t talk
The walls are closing
My will is broken
The book is open
I’m telling all that I know
There's only so much one can take
Don't, don't, don't...

bells ring and days start
lesson plans are far too hard
these text books don't mean a thing
when you don't know where to begin
oh well, it's not that bad
said the teacher to the class
but when you can't read and you can't write
there's nowhere left to hide
the teacher pulled me aside
and said to me
the teacher pulled me aside
and said
it's our little secret
that no one else need know about
I had a private tutor
who taught me in every way
and soon I'd figured out
my missing vocabulary
oh yeah, it's not that bad
as I strolled back into class
the other students didn't have a clue
the things that we got up to
the teacher pulled me aside
and said to me
the teacher pulled me aside
and said
it's our little secret
that no one else need know about
and to this very day
I think about what you gave
and to this very day
we never gave it away
it was our little secret
that no else knew about

Verse 1:
It’s been almost 20 years
We’ve loved, we’ve lost, we’ve cried some tears
I thought we’d grown, become mature
But now I find it’s all a fraud
Chorus:
My girl thinks I don’t know
But I know and I know she don’t know
And that said it’s all a big no
That she sees him when I’m not home oh no
Verse 2:
The house, almost paid it off
We’ve been we’ve seen we’ve done it all
I felt so rich beyond our years
But now I see it’s all for nought
Bridge:
She spends her days
Finding ways
To lie
To hide
To set aside
The only one
She really finds
Fills her up

How is your will represented?
Is your vote equally weighted?
Should it be this way?
Are you sure that everything's okay?
What do the candidates really think?
Do they convey it when they speak?
Is it refelected in their actions?
Or should we look at their transactions?
Are they the voice of the masses?
Or only of high classes?
Do their actions match their words?
Or is that patently absurd?
Does democracy even work?
Or is it all a great big joke?
We pretend it's not the same
That we're not pawns in their game.
But the people are alone
With the issues we bemoan.
A just world is just a dream
That's the secret, it would seem.

I don’t have the words that do justice to myself
I don’t have the voice to sing my thoughts I want to tell you
I try to find a way to speak a language you can hear
But I know I’m often rambling unclear
I don’t know if you can tell how much I truly care
I try to leave you messages and breadcrumbs everywhere
Maybe when you pick them up you you’ll get a sense of how
I’m failing to convey the love I feel—love deep profound
I am lost in this story
Love’s a foreign language for me
I never learned to speak it
I don’t mean to keep secrets
I don’t hear the messages from my families
Neither from the ones I chose or the others who chose me
All the tries to to pick me up, to give me what I need
Landed flat when I dropped them at my feet
I am lost in this story
Love’s a foreign language for me
I never learned to read it
It’s kept from me a secret
I don’t know how to tell anybody
that I appreciate their vision of me
I don’t know how to say the simplest
Thing about my whole existence
I’m so grateful for my people
Why can’t I just be real
I am lost in this story
Love’s a foreign language for me
I never learned to speak it
I don’t mean to keep secrets
I am lost in this story
Love’s a foreign language for me
I never learned to speak it
I don’t mean to keep secrets

She sleeps next to the Bible
On the bottom of my drawer
Her friends are in the kitchen
Whenever I need more
And I never leave without it
She goes every where I go
My sweetest little honey
I’ll see you in the mornin
She sits next to the Bible
The one I keep inside my dash
And there’s three under the awning
For when I’m low on cash
My honeys never wronged me
Save a time or two
When things start to get heavy
I come running home to you
She lives under my pillow
And she sings me to sleep
She quiets all the demons
That I don’t wish to keep
My cellar door is open
Please don’t come inside
I’m running to the corner store
My favorite place to hide
She kneels down with my Bible
Only way to get it in the church
Those chapel owls might judge me
Fuck them and fuck their perch
I know what I’m about son
I’ve never had a doubt
I met the devil in El Paso
And she’s never let me out
She sits on top my bible
Cuz He’s the only one to know
And I know just how to hide it
When the demon starts to glow
My family won’t forgive me
That’s for the lord to do
My sweet honey is liquor
And they haven’t got a clue
They found my dashboard Bible
Laid on the shattered glass
The flashing lights surrounding me
To put together what had passed
I was kissing on my honey
When I swerved into my grave
That steering column it my head
Gave me a cobain shave

Don’t speak now
Forever hold your peace
Don’t allow
Him to reveal your secret
You know better
Then to open up your mouth
You had met her
But still you’re heading south
I’m worse for wear
If you care to know
How your stares
Disembowel me so
You had only borrowed him
She’s his something new
You and he are old news
And I can’t help but feel blue
What she don’t know can’t hurt you but I can
What he did with you, I can’t stand to see it break her in two
Don’t speak now
Forever hold your peace
You blame liquor
For what you always do
But something sicker
Was leading him to you
For her health
She won’t have to know
It won’t help me
But how she glows
You had only borrowed him
She’s his something new
You and he are old news
And I can’t help but feel blue
What she don’t know can’t hurt you, but I can
What he did with you, I can’t stand to see it break her in two
Don’t speak now
Forever hold your peace
Don’t allow
Him to reveal your secret
All the riches of the world
Never could compare
To the days I held her gaze
Or the love I thought we shared
A poorer soul now holds her heart
She is, to him, ensnared.
He woke this morning in your arms
So you had best beware
You had only borrowed him
She’s his something new
You and he are old news
And I can’t help but feel blue
What she don’t know can’t hurt you, but I can
What he did with you, I can’t stand to see it break her
What she don’t know can’t hurt you, but I can
What he did with you, I can’t stand to see it break her in two
I now pronounce you…somebody else’s problem

This is the time, here is the place that we agreed upon
Our horrid deed is done (nobody knows, nobody knows)
The evidence destroyed, we three have withdrawn
They will not find a smoking gun
As long as we can hold our tongues we’ve nothing to fear
‘Cause three can keep a secret
Like the wise man said
Three can keep a secret
…If two of them are dead
My weary brothers looking ragged in the night
It’s time to go our separate ways (nobody knows, nobody knows)
Now in your eyes I see a new malicious light
Our solidarity has been betrayed
If I can keep you quiet, then I am in the clear
‘Cause three can keep a secret
There’s nothing to dread
Three can keep a secret
…If two of them are dead
If my soul’s already damned, I’m fine with your blood on my hands
If it was your blade at my throat, would you indulge a tear?
Yes three can keep a secret
Like the wise man said
Three can keep a secret
…If two of them are dead
When we swore to take this to the grave, we were sincere
Three can keep a secret
There’s nothing to dread
Because three can keep a secret
…If two of them are dead
(Nobody knows, nobody knows)
…If two of them are dead
(Nobody knows, nobody knows)
…If two of them are dead

Chorus:
We watch our secrets
Turn into regrets
And I want to mean it
When I stand by you
Take it or leave it
Forget and repeat it
No one concedes when
We are in bloom
I already think you know it
But I don’t want to show my cards to you
We all love the information
Even more we love manipulation and a view
We care less what we are saying
Than honing the games we are playing
Chorus
People go through waves and phases
Like moons we cycle back through what’s been said
Some stories are for the ages
Though they’ll never make it on the pages to be read
And we care less what we care less what we are doin’
More worried about who we’re foolin’
Chorus
We watch our secrets
Secrets
We watch our secrets
Secrets

In a sunbaked parking lot
Watch the shimmer of the heat; it feels so hot
Ain't it something that you can perceive it?
Out there, there are other realms
Out here, inherently obscured
Right here, I know there's more than this
My biology is keeping secrets from me
My physiology is limiting what I perceive.
Try to see just like a bee
UV Tetrachromacy
The world is made of lemon juice
Won't you be my blacklight?
There's a song you will never hear
Beyond the limits of your ears
Wouldn't it be cool if we could perceive just 10% more
Out there, there are other realms
Out here, inherently obscured
Right here, I know there's more than this
My biology is keeping secrets from me
My physiology is limiting what I perceive.
What I perceive...

No one knows
Who you are
And who could describe you
Disguising yourself as the stars
I've been charged to find you
'cause you stole from the rich
And you pissed off the powers that be
You're a drop
In the mist
Just like me
Chorus
I wanna lay in the clouds
Bathe in the light of the sun
I wanna float like a squid
In the bowels of the ocean
You are only ever in my slumber
Anytime that I see ya
Beautiful night
Beautiful dream
Beautiful dreamer
Verse 2
When we met
You didn't know
The gist of my mission
You roped me right into your show
How could I not listen
We're two oneironauts
You almost got caught
I could be giving you up
But I'm not
Chorus
I wanna roll
In the clay
And sink in the weight of your arms
I wanna sail through your eyes
While reading the maps of your palms
You always say you'll be right back
And I sometimes believe ya
Beautiful moon
Beautiful beams
Beautiful dreamer
Bridge
I don't know when
We'll meet again
I don't know what numbers to call
I just know I should get to you
before the rest of the law
But dreams can be tricky
Detective works tough
I need to see you when I wake up
Chorus
I wanna be
On your side
And ride away into the dawn
I wanna float through the night
And fly with the birds in your songs
You are only ever in my slumber
anytime that I see ya
Beautiful heist
Thief
Schemer
Glockenspiel solo
Take me away
From the numb
Put the mystery back in my lungs
Pilfer my heart
From the safe
Where it sat since we stopped being young
Let's get new clothed and new names
And go away where we might not need either
Beautiful night
Beautiful dream
Beautiful dreamer
Beautiful night
Beautiful dream
Beautiful dreamer

It's no secret, that I've been feeling down
It's no secret that I'll come around
It's no secret that I'm not the only one with both knees on the ground and face towards the sun
Stand up, you're stronger than you think you are
If you need a hero, just look in the mirror now
Cause you're the hero we all need
It's no secret, that we have one life
It's no secret that somedays are a fight
It's no secret that I'm not the only one with both knees on the ground and face towards the sun
Stand up, you're stronger than you think you are
If you need a hero, just look in the mirror now
Cause you're the hero we all need
Don't hide your feelings don't keep it inside
We're all broken and bruised but we must put up a fight
If you need a hero, just look in the mirror now
Cause you're the hero we all need
Stand up, you're stronger than you think you are
If you need a hero, just look in the mirror now
Cause you're the hero we all need

Listen close and I'll give you the secrets
To life, the universe, and everything
Cash only please, but the first taste is free
Yeah, I've got a secret for you
But only you
Void where bullshit is prohibited
Reserve your copy today
Supplies are moving fast
tick tock...
Have I got a good secret for you
But only you
Because you're smart
All it takes is your hard earned cash
But you better, better act fast
Some restrictions may apply.

After accomplishing self-independence, a grim chain of events
So mediocre, compounded by living,
Separation is a given
We are now squandered, placed in our own cubicles
As productive adults
Every piece of advice
I was handed
Was a preparedness for isolation insurance
Acceptance which I reprimand
It doesn’t have to be building this way
Now the tide reins in
Who has to beg their friends slyly to stay?
Us who mainly grew up
Hermit, you live on lucky
Surfeit, no community
Pulpit, no committing to a
Gambit for status
Your inner impetus powers you through all the
darkness of one
Forcefully safely alone in your bunker your
introversion is your crux
After accomplishing self-independence, a grim chain of events
Leads to repetitive stressful disorders and then some more turns
Cleaning up everybody’s mess
Hermit, secretly liking
Walled-in, methods of living
Wouldn’t, give any up for the
World, and it shows
And I’m jealous
I wish I could cut myself off from the world like
You do
You are not merely at peace with adult isolation, but it strengthens you
How? Why? What’s your secret?
How do you turn your back outwards and mean it?
How? Why? What’s your secret?
How do you turn your back outwards and mean it?
How?

Hello? Tell me can you hear, are you coming around?
Hello? Do you remember anything about
The road you travelled on to end up in this crowd?
You know we work together but we die alone
But on the outside we’re still hopeful
Because we don’t know what’s going on
yeah yeah yeah
The 9 to 5 - we keep it secret from ourselves
we lock it deep inside
yeah yeah yeah
Hello - welcome back - you never really leave
It shows there’s always one more trick up our sleeve
And so take a break and beg for some reprieve
Alone, you’re dying for a cause you’ll never see
And on the outside we’re still broken
Because we don’t know what’s going on yeah yeah yeah
The 9 to 5 - we keep it secret from ourselves
we lock it deep inside
yeah yeah yeah
Helly, are you listening?
Helly R, this prison
Helly, are you listening?
Helly R, forgive me…
