Standards

This is out of body
this is out of my hands
music from the 80's
played by electronic bands
this is where i lose control
this is where it falls apart
gotta let a good thing go
before i take it all to heart
everybody *blame* the person next to you
everybody hates what they have turned into
everybody drinks too much
and so do you
if we’re all this guilty
the standards must have changed
this is where i’m staying
when the glacier comes to town
i won’t object to god holding
nature’s reset button down
This is how to fan a flame
This is how to make a spark
watching while we ingest
to sleep waiting for the hurt to start
everybody lies when there’s a lot to lose
everybody knows what word i’m gonna use
everybody tells me what i shouldn’t do
everybody can’t see what i’m going through
everybody *blame* the person next to you
everybody hates what they have turned into
everybody drinks too much and so do you
if we’re all this guilty, the standards must have changed.
