lyrics

WE SPEND OUR LIVES SWALLOWING LIE AFTER LIE, TO WASTE DAY AFTER DAY LIVING THESE FAULTS. THERE WILL BURN A FLAME INSIDE OF US ALL, I WANT TO DISCONNECT MYSELF FROM THIS. DISCONNECT MYSELF FROM THIS. I WANT TO DISCONNECT. DISCONNECT THE DEFECT OF THIS MAD WORLD. IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE IT WILL ALL BE LOST. NO MATTER THE COST, WE’LL HAVE TO GO ON LIVING AS A MATTER OF SURVIVAL. WE CARRY THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD ON OUR SHOULDERS, I’LL HAVE TO DROP THIS DEADWEIGHT TO CARRY ON. WE’LL HAVE TO STRIVE FOR THIS UTOPIAN BELIEF. EVERY ONE OF US MUST OPEN OUR MINDS. WE MUST OPEN OUR MINDS. WE MUST KEEP FROM SINKING INTO THIS DROUGHT, WE’LL END UP REPENTING LIVES WE’VE NEVER LIVED. WE CARRY THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD ON OUR SHOULDERS, I’LL HAVE TO DROP THIS DEADWEIGHT TO CARRY ON.

Perhaps one of the saddest notes on my life is that I just today discovered this band. I owe them an apology and I owe me an apology. Paid full price despite them disbanding. That's how confident I am in the makers of this amazing music. Pets R Us

One of the best albums I've ever heard. Completely changed my life. I'm from the same small town as this band and it makes me feel less alone. l-u-d-o
