‘Separately Connected’ Lyrics
Under The Gun
I am the one under the gun, you sound so brave once you’ve escaped, there’s no place left to run, to rest,
they say, it’s unsafe, but I’m still not afraid, they’ll kill you for the things that you have said, and I know that it don’t make sense, but they’ll kill you for the things that you defend
Well I can’t seem to break this machine, it’s made to stay, it’s made of everything, and everywhere and I still don’t care, ’cause time will own the life you’re meant to know
You are the one, under the gun, I sound so brave, once I’ve escaped, there’s no place left to run, to rest.
Everything You Know
There’s nothing you can do, nothing left to prove, in another time, things will be just fine, and when it all goes down, you will feel no pain, but your heart will pound, driving you insane.
Don’t hold me accountable, ’cause I don’t want to know, if I seem to be losing it, then just let me go, ’cause the way you look when you’re smiling, it cuts me to the bone, and my feelings I’m not denying, this house is made of stone.
There’s been times you’ve felt, that your rightful place, was upon a shelf, in a designer cage, well everything you know, it can’t stay the same, ’cause everything you know, is about to change.
Ulterior Motive
A place to educate, a room that has no room for change, the light is bright and plain, the voice of an expert in pain, you try to stay awake.
But all this time is breaking your mind and all these lies are breaking your mind.
You wake up everyday, your only wish is to escape, the things you wanna say, the things that you just can’t explain.
In This Direction
In a world of words and names, there exists a different place, the kind of space that we’ve become, another way of holding on.
Every time you try to get back, to another place, well all these people they just come around looking for another person to waste. All the people and all of your friends and all the things that you want to obey, well they just hang around looking for another person to waste.
If you could read your mind, you’d know it will be alright, ’cause they don’t have to fight, they know it will be just fine, ’cause people try to find thier minds and if you live your life, I know it will be alright.
Being Awake
If there’s a question on your mind, then there’s an answer that you’ll never find, it’s only being awake, anyways. In the city we planted a seed, and in the country we’ll make believe, it’s only being awake anyways. Everything you do it’s coming back to you, you wanted to know the truth, didn’t you.
Well I’ve got nothing left to lose and I’ve got better things to do, I know the distance to the ground now, I’ve got my parachute. I’ve got questions on my mind, but I don’t live a life of crime, I know the distance to the ground now and I can see the lights. I can’t see the things you’ll be and it completes the scene of what is suppossed to be.
They will tell you to try and align, every season that lives in your mind, it’s only being awake anyways. In every language and every belief, exists a reason to pack up and leave, it’s only being awake anyways.
Alone With Your Mistakes
You seem to be missing the point I’m trying to make, you haven’t been giving anyone a break, now you’re driving home, and you begin to shake, now you’re all alone with your mistakes.
This could be the only thing that I need, it really seems this could be the air I breathe.
How is it your missing this undercover blame, is it ’cause you’re listening to yourself complain?
This will be my final point to make, so quit making excuses for your own sake.
Separately Connected
Feeling, breaking in and trying to win, there’s nothing you can do.
They say help me out, is it getting through, is it getting to you?
The Jury
There’s been times when I’ve felt incomplete, when the only person I knew was me, and the apple will fall from the tree to create another belief.
The jury is out again my friend, they want to convict you of all your sins, they want to release the evidence, so they can determine your innocence.
The conclusions we draw from speech, will determine the feelings we reach and the only one who agrees, is the only one you seek.
Can you challenge the depth of the sea, do you hold your breath to breathe, in a world of everything, there is nothing that you cannot be.
The Truth of Telling Lies
Things can get so lonely, just trying to pass the time, atleast that’s what they tell me when I start to feel alright. But nothing is breaking me.
I’m feeling fine, wasting all my time, I’m wrong you’re right, just tell me one more time, how you’ve survived trying not to hide, holding a sign, telling us the time, giving us the why, I’ll give it back tonight.
Pay me what you owe me, and please don’t waste my time, ’cause we both know your witholding the truth of telling lies.
Good Intentions
In times like these, we tell ourselves that we believe in nothing else, and there’s a fire that’s about to start, while we’re drawing our guns in the dark. You can’t change me.
There’s no way I could ever be as good as you have been to me, there’s nothing I could ever do that could compare to what you do.
In times like these, we tell ourselves that all we need is something else, while we make plans and walk away, good intentions sometimes go astray.
Friendly Indifference
I think it’s time to take a stand, it’s time to try and comprehend, just keep falling away from me.
Everyday you try to change your mind, I know you do, and in every way you still control the time like people do, well I don’t think I wanna be like you.
I’m just so sick and tired of all the things that you conspire, just keep falling away from me.
