As we watch them shaking hands
Witness transference appropriate
All the actions seen from far away
Telling intentions scathe your face

We’re laughing when you think its funny
Company kept keeps you feeling down
Emancipation looms so closely
Ruminations sleep on ego’s ground

Awake! Alerting all the staff!
Midland’s dream was a cloudy hack
Telling all: The system’s been shut down
An apology to you and yours

Don’t you try and fault us
You cannot fault us
Wading underground. White noise completes the sound

And you’ve built your fortress
Four walls and mattress
Let’s pretend you’re wrong. All notions of yours wrong

Aside from all the pretensions
You’vе left us lying in your wake
Your throat still burning from the alcohol
Coughing blood complеtes the shame

We’ve all had incidents that cripple us
And all the ways to make us change
Without a pain instigating us
The scene despoiler wins again
