If youre not surreal
Are you even real
What makes you different
Tell me, what makes you different
Why do you walk like that
Why do you wear like that
Whats your statement

Sacrifice
A brutal display of devotion
The entire thing revolves around devotion and sacrifice
And some things I wonder
Sometimes I wonder
Is there any other way
I crave attention
Brutal display
The animals on the screen
Do you wish you could do the same
I never wanted to be anything less than perfect
Maybe that was something you gave to me
Winners smile, a loser's complextion
Just like the others
Just like the others
Now I'm just another guy
It calls my name
And I feel the same
Do you feel it too?

Dirt under my rotten nails
That ive neglected to replace
Old judgements ive raised from the dead
A parasite burrowing through
My hardened narrow mind
It controls me
Or do I control it
You tell me I can control how I react
Quiet judgements
That grow in the quiet night
Is healing a raging bull
Is peace a quiet observer
Lantern in hand, throat slit bleeding
He knows my name
And the weight it carries
Quiet judgements
That grow in the quiet night
Is healing a raging bull
Is peace a quiet observer
Lantern in hand, throat slit bleeding
He knows my name
And the weight it carries
Heavy sigh
That hangs in hereditary tension
You dont respond
When I speak to you
I dont respond
When you ask me questions
Perhaps silence
Is the final answer

As I listen to your words
They cut me to pieces
But I cannot move
Or even begin to change
I can only describe it as
Easy listening

(You may ask me how I know my god is real)

Years later, here I am
Speaking in tongues of my own
Just a stones throw, home grown
A meager lesson when you grab the phone
(A machine ever churning
My mind ever questioning)
You know you're alone
(And I hold the blade between my teeth)
Butterflies of a certain kind
In highschool art class
I always liked how gravelly his voice was
But I chose a different path
If I could just find the perfect moment
To recede
And show you every single part that lies inside of me
That'd be fine with me (Sacrifice)
There's a creature in the valley
And I want to know his name
He approaches when the sun's down (Brutal devotion to sacrifice)
He's a mirror, we're the same

And I feel like,
I feel-
I really feel like
I'm seeing you for the first time
The first time
Like I'm seeing you for the very first time

You wanted attention
Now you'll get what you deserve

If I could just find myself in that valley
That mirror, that alley
I can hear the audience around me
They demand a good show
And I'll give it to them
I always do
