Altar
I thought I told you, thought I said
that street is one way, it leads to death
I thought I told you, thought you knew
I can’t save her, I can’t save you, but
with every hour, with every day
I’m getting better, getting brave
I can’t go back there, won’t return
she’s long gone now, but you can learn
at the altar of outside opinion
no one is safe
at the altar of outside opinion
you’re just a name on the wall
name to be called
I can still see her pretty face
her stomach ravaged, worth erased
that’s why I’m out here, it’s what I stay
I speak for what she couldn’t say, and now
it’s getting harder, so they say
I’m more aware now, more awake
but either way out, it doesn’t change
I can’t stay where I’m rearranged
at the altar of outside opinion
no one is safe
at the altar of outside opinion
you’re just a name on the wall
name to be called
it’s a hallway, can’t you see it?
got no windows, can’t you see it?
it’s a coffin, can’t you see it?
it’s the wrong way, can’t you see it?
at the altar of outside opinion
no one is safe
at the altar of outside opinion
you’re just a name on the wall
name to be called
at the altar of outside opinion
no one is safe
at the altar of outside opinion
you’re just a name on the wall
name to be called
name on the wall
name to be called
Land of Men
I don’t wanna hear about it anymore
your lofty opinions
jesus christ, I get it and it’s such a bore
you and all of your minions
but if I say one thing back now
it’s about the way I talk
yeah, if I say one thing back now
I can get my things and walk
sanitize the language that you’ve learned to use
now you’re all perfect people
never mind forgetting why you get to choose
unlike the rest of us fearfuls
but if I say one thing back now
it’s about my state of mind
yeah, if I say one thing back now
I am getting out of line
do you ever stop to think: you might not have earned what you have?
it’s a product of us laying flat
no one seems to notice
they all look just like you
every day, I get to offer myself up
to the gaze of the keepers
all the same, they take credit for what they can
what they can steal from the seers
but if I say one thing back now
it becomes the living end
yeah, if I say one thing back now
I’m not really fitting in
do you ever stop to think: you might not have earned what you have?
it’s a product of us laying flat
no one seems to care
that they all look just like you
all look just like you
on and on and on
do you ever stop to think: you might not have earned what you have?
it’s a product of us laying flat
no one seems to care
that they all look just like you
do you ever stop to think: you might not have earned what you have?
it required the rest laying flat
no one ever asks
why they all look just like you
all look just like you
they all look just like you
