Throw out all the rules
Make your own ignore the fools.
Living with a lie
The day I killed your pride
Living with a lie
Will tear you up inside.
Roads have a way to hide
They weave through the trees and challenge the ride.
Living with a lie
The day I killed your pride
Living with a lie
Will tear you up inside.

Hard pressed
In distress
One hot mess
Boxed in tight.
All dressed
For success
Fallback
Tell me why
One and only
One and lonely
Only one and one for all
Destroy
Rejoice
Success
Back in time
One life
Hard times
Repaired
Compromise
One and only
One and lonely
Only one and one for all

So they say
The powers in your hand
Turn on a dime
A blind eye to the crime
Chorus:
I won’t ask
Don’t tell
Soon they will find out
Burn the bridge
It’s the fast way out
Shred the evidence
To cast the poor ones out.
Chorus:
I won’t ask
Don’t tell
Soon they will find out
Give the word
Even if it’s dry
Point the blame
When you know it’s not right.

What’s your motivation
For calling me up
It’s an indication
Life has been rough
Chorus:
I’m only one stop away
I can hardly wait
I’m catching the feeling
You want something bad
Your voice sounds deceiving
Your tone changes fast.
Chorus:
I’m only one stop away
I can hardly wait
Outro:
I’m only one stop away

Living high pressure
Money is the lever
soaked up by the greediest hog.
Guiding all the sheep
From once they all roamed free
Programmed like computers in DOS.
Sorry it’s over on the Island of fame
Living high cannot sustain.
Nothing on the brain
Happy being shamed
Removing all the critical thoughts
This was meant to be
So we can finally see
Rational decisions are gone.
Sorry it’s over on the Island of shame
Living high cannot sustain.

I came around to tell the story
What would be the hardest truth.
I wasn’t there to stand in glory
I just wanted to talk to you.
Chorus:
You’re gone
Were gone
It’s gone
I’m gone
I needed answers from the wiser
To pull the strings and get things right
I hoped that we could stand together
A tighter grip to get through life.
Chorus:
You’re gone
Were gone
It’s gone
I’m gone
Bridge:
Paralized with pain
Compromised with shame
Chorus:
You’re gone
Were gone
It’s gone
I’m gone

I want to put it on and make you believe that
I’m here because I care, but I really want to leave.
I’m not happy with long goodbys
I’ll just leave in silence.
Don’t take it seriously, your life is but a joke.
Farewell to everything and everyone you know.
I’m not happy with long goodbys
I’ll just leave in silence.
I forgot your name
No I won’t feel shame
I’m not happy with long goodbys
I’ll just leave in silence.

I want what you can’t see
I want a place to breathe.
Document the life of pure intention
Rarely will you see what’s truly there
I want what you can’t see
I want a place to breathe.
Nowhere does it view in black and white.
I’m always gonna have to roll the dice.
Falling for the same irrational
Conclusions and thoughtless animals.
Wasting away—-
I know what I want

See the wall, Jump over it
Break your fall and remember this
We all die alone
The rope we use to tie our hands
Mistakes are coming back again
We all die alone
The roots to where I’m born again
The path we run comes to an end
We all die alone

Chorus:
Dirty Little fingers
Touching all the strangers
Dirty Little fingers
Germing up the teachers
Something I don’t understand
Why we keep making plans
They don’t have a fighting chance
When the pressure is all on them.
Chorus:
Dirty Little fingers
Touching all the strangers
Dirty Little fingers
Germing up the teachers
Someone has to be fair
Kids are blamed for all despair.
Parents who kill the mockingbird
Injustice in a valued world.
Chorus:
Dirty Little fingers
Touching all the strangers
Dirty Little fingers
Germing up the teachers
Bridge:
All our love is in the blaming game 2x
Don’t worry it’s all over in our lifetime.
Dirty little fingers-
