Up in smoke pop goes the culture
The tension blew it up
While choking from a bleeding ulcer
We eventually thew it up
So what went wrong
Where's the voice of reason
It's long gone
We lost it long ago
Apathy plus-sized filled the void of motivation
I can hardly breathe at all

Confusion's all I see
Frustration surrounds me
Solution's bid farewell
Sedation? What the hell

I broke the mirror to the past
To find what I was looking for
The bleeding heart of broken glass
Is all I found and nothing more regrets
Short of no correction
Paid my debts to anxiety
The iron lung collapsed from the pressure and the swelling
I can hardly breathe at all

Confusion's all I see
Frustration surrounds me
Solution's bid farewell
Sedation? What the hell

Dead end roads with warning signs
Destination nowhere in sight

Divided we stand together we fall
There isn't a god that can save us all
So don't pray on your knees
Just beg on your hands
There is no belief
In this promised land
