Absent Minded

Everybody, Everything

Everybody's an artist with acid in their eyes
Everybody's a clown smiling hello waving goodbye
Everybody's a dancer with two left feet
Everybody's a soldier dieing on the street

Everything is a delusion I can't see through
Everything is a confusion suffering through
Everything is a distortion lost in the haze
Everything is a distraction making waves

I'm lost in the ambitions of the wallowers
I see the light but I'm trembling
And I'm terrified
I sway a little
I'm over the way
I'm searching the battlefields looking for truths
I see the dangers approaching
and I'm pacified
I drop a little
I'm in the way

Everybody's an actor with a crooked face
Everybody's a puppet being put in their place
Everybody's a masterpiece lost in time
Everybody's an innocent walking the line

Everything is an illusion tricking me
Everything is a work of art with history
Everything is satisfaction smiling back
Everything is a moment caught in a trap

I'm lost in the denial of the every day
and the empty fills me
I'm suffocating
lost int the maze
I see the light but I'm trembling
I'm terrified
I sway a little
I've lost my mind
and you see through me
a see the futures encroaching
and I'm pacified
