[Verse 1]
You can convince anyone in the animal kingdom
That they are worth anything more
Then a pitiful threat of some freedom
Depleted the energy war
Swore in the empathy lesion the cut
Only gets deeper than what
Has ever been thought or imagined by man
Whatever it is, forever it's not, I've been here before
I do what I can
I do this with no specific motive, intention or over dramatic
Mess of a message that's hidden above and beyond
The human perception yet to accept the damage of what's done is what's done
But for now I release a sigh for the sky
The young never hung high enough to get their attention
Acknowledge his presence and it will make his day complete
Worth sharing with the others that he prays would fade away for free
The cost of living is a wish well spent
Still in debt, to the death no friend could ever mend or understand
And...

[Hook]
All he ever wanted was for someone to acknowledge his opinion
But they laughed and called him idiot
How is he to gain the confidence needed to move on?
To move on, to move on

To move on, to move on

[Verse 2]
They claimed he left too big a space between what he was trying to express
And what he actually felt dead
It's too bad they never gave him a second chance to get that out so (Love life)
He shoved it in instead

Placebo effect burn chemical blade
Brain trained to convert into a measurable slave
Naked tool of the trade feel special as amuse-able faith
Computed to abuse and prove pleasurable gain
Reign kingdom come till king come clean
My single cell amoeba, love, hug, aims supreme
I figure I can still dream without a blindfold wrapped clear
Ring around the rosy blush cheeks, make the fact theory
I act dear 'cause I want to, besides
I can see the ghost of past fear that haunts you
Tap dance off beat kept trapped behind your eyes
Soft won't you stop, comply off the beaten path I won't come close to

I hope you're still here with me
Please don't doubt my intention
It's a bit smeared, dizzy breathe
There's a time for everyone to come to terms with the reality tunnel
That bubbles up burn cuddle up
Concerned with his well being
Tell me something I don't know
Aware of where he's going but not sure where I will go
I want to know how I care
Compare and control is not the issue
I can finally see it's never fair

To move on, to move on
