Lewis Galaga's Verse:
I saw the best minds of my 'generation tryin to get it right.
Bright beacons fadin in the silence of the night
Sailin blind without the guidance of a light.
divided
Swept away beneath the violence of the tides.
A life awry, deprived of the lighter side of life,
A minor slight, decrying the finer types of might.
It's Dynamite, when you finally find you're in line with either side. To light a fire inside you like a radioactive spider bite.
But might and power are seductive like the dark side of the force, and then of course you can't escape from in it's jaws. Sometimes you need a bigger boat to make the shore. Sometimes to be sure, is to settle for your flaws.
But I'm a goblin, I see more I want it. My greed's like a mob hit, can't seem to stop it.
' body dropping. These bystanders watching. But they ain't saying nothing like they don't see a problem.
Chorus:
It's in a state, far away
It doesn't take a lot to stray there
It's an escape, you medicate, to meditate on how you'll stay there.
Empty's Verse:
Life isn’t a simple situation at all
sometimes the only control is over how slow you fall
I know i had moments when I was high and saw the signs
but now the hi is gone and life has found it time to close the door
so now I’m sitting and waiting up on my neighbours porch
and now I’m drinking and hating (bitching) and getting faded more cause
I’m no longer paving the way to make a name performing
saying not today while i’m praying for some escape from torture
make no mistake though i complain i know the pain’s important
so I pretend that everything’s is just ok and all my
friends and family want me to smile and so I fake it for them
keep on working sleeping saving til I can pay the doorman
I blame the culture, I pay it forward
cause changing the way I play the game has become way too forceful
at my age it’s normal to see other’s gain acclaim
on stages that were made for more than fame and fortune
Chorus:
It's in a state, far away
It doesn't take a lot to stray there
It's an escape, you medicate, to meditate on how you'll stay there.
