The Shills |

Most Minds:
Making runs for a meal maybe nothing
Than a fake, than a dodge, who's the target?
If a meal, how much did you get?
A portion? A lesson? An understanding?
Was it peace? Was it necessary or not?
Was it mind? Was it body? But who can deny?
Taking on all your worries dead or not
In some way that everyone can see
Chorus:
Most minds don't think too hard
One can forget these things
Playing role, oh so well, that we believe you
To a boy, to a girl, there's no survivors
You water down one existence to replace with
One you saw, one you heard, one you wish you could be
It wasn't peace, it wasn't necessary and yet
It must be mind or body making thoughts and sounds
Time is fast and we are so limited
Our actions are all that will remind us
Chorus
Our actions are all that will define us
Say What You Will:
I was always looking for a goal, when I was young
And now it seems that I am full of holes, but just to them
Nohthing is as jelous as a boy trying to be
Even half as passionate as me
Chorus:
I was running circles round you then
And now I am spinning you again
I know you're so sure in your mind
I'll always be one step behind
So say what you will if that helps you sleep at night
You never run too far from where is home, scared little boy
And now it seems your mouth is fulll of foam, waiting to pounce
On me, because I am pedigree, bread from the start
To be far from left inside the dark
Chorus
It was always on your task to make an ends to me
So wave me off with a care for the world
You and me always will be enemies, but
Trust me now, I wouldn't have it any other way
Chorus
Pigeon Hole:
So can you tell me one more thing about me?
Another story for your friends you can't claim as yours
How many times do you have to hear you're so wrong
Did you forget you didn't know everything?
Chorus:
So there you go, watching my moves
And pigeon hole everything I do
You have a little food for thought, some standing ground
How could you let your guessing mouth make so much sound?
A steady look into the mirror should knock you down
And as for stabbing in the dark, my chance has come around
Chorus
Sell me out anyway you can
I guessed right again
Big Indifference:
Sing a different song, bird of paradise
Always a strange dance, never go backwards
A solid aeroplane, but naked inside
Wrapped in a question. Forget the logic
Such a bad sign, big indifference
I turn my good eye, such a bad scene
Chorus:
Cellophane face, smile. I can see though fine.
See my reflection well. To be expected do tell.
Mirror looking man can you explain eyes of a gas bag, looking at fashion?
You drive a car to work, you drive a nail in hard to see if you feel things other than money
Open window, big indifference
Elevator, out the front door
Chorus
Starting Gun:
Its so unreal the things we do
Would be alone but never can
Instead we'll want to hit the snooze bar till the fall of man
When days become predictable
Pay this walk lines while looking down
And steady your hand on what will be your 4th cup today
Chorus:
I'm so done just hanging on
I wanna jump the starting gun
And hope that no one notices
She'll never say she's bored of you
You stay with her to be a man
Because if she was anyone else you could not be one
Come home to shake a foggy head
Say things will change but never do
And when did you suddenly get too old to make moves?
Chorus
So set me up for my disaster
Where I will find out nobody cares for anyone
They just wanna make life better for themselves
Rest well tomorrow is ahead
Grind teeth while hours dissapear
Remember life will only be this good while your dreaming
Chorus
Further:
I'm compelled to hate oppose and destroy
When I think of people so few things bring me joy
Chorus:
Hate nobody knows unguided
Lone and losing touch, I'll need more
Yet I searched for some love power and a reason
Perhaps to better suit my existance
Chorus
I'll begin the process of rebuilding the vessel
As this land does curse me, so do my thoughts and the sea
Chorus
Maybe I'll Stay Around:
Alone is a simple word for it doesn't fill the weight I know
My hands are as busy as they never were, yet I see no progress here
They look at me all the time, I know what they think. But they think I don't have a clue
It's so easy to get mad, burn bridges I once had to save a truth
Chorus:
But I'm patient now, so patient now
I'll be patient now as I can be
And maybe I'll stay around
To find wrong with the human race is such an awful place to be and not regret
When it seems like your always right about the worst of things, and I can't do a damn thing
Chorus
What Else am I To Do?:
What else am I to do?
I'm amazed at what I will watch you watch me
Put myself through
Chorus:
There's never anything wrong that hasn't been wrong before
Are you taking medication?
For being lonely, being fat
Are you self medicated?
Elevated.
Chorus
Hand to hand or on the counter, coveted or hanging head
Out in light or in the shadows, become the sun
Chorus
That's Why We Dream:
We run there. A place we see forgiveness
Chorus:
That's why we dream, take it or leave it
A place is for dreaming. Take it.
We want a reason. To know and see what happens
Chorus 2:
That's why we dream, take it or leave it
A reason's for dreaming. Take it.
We work for power. Over the lands and bodies
Chorus 3:
That's why we dream, take it or leave it
Power's for dreaming. Take it.
Some kind of answer, to feel at ease
Would be unanswered and brings us to our knees
And its hard to say I want to know the answer anyway
Chorus 4:
That's why we dream, take it or leave it
The back of our eyelids, we take it
Bending Knees:
You're treated like a king, even with nothing on
A hand to move the mouths, of babes and sons
A hand to strike to blow for all the hands
A facade against a backdrop, with fading ink
And it seems just like a game of bending knees
You take it on the chin while stepping back
A wash to throw the stone while taking on stones
The knife is in your back while you turn to apologize
And crying for a sign you choose to see it seems
A game of bending knees
Chorus:
Because you couldn't be benevolent and monster just the same
A bleeding heart talking to a mind of misery
Or a vehicle with nowhere to go
Expect them looking up to need to then
And looking toward the sky for answers when
You could take them on
