I was sticking up for reason and hoping I was sticking up for reasonable men Pointing out how everything's broken Til I'm good and pissed off again Now I'm stranded in the shallow ocean Praying to the optimists Cause it takes forever Getting to the point you missed It's too many It's too many All the pals keep on splitting Even they couldn't get it to fit It's too late It's too little It's too frail It's too brittle It's too true to be good, my friend You were drawn and quartered for trusting Work that didn't exist And when it all amounts to nothing You get good and pissed off again Now the evidence is so engrossing And I'm convinced that I'm hard to convince Cause it takes a long time Getting to the top of the list It's too many It's too many All the pals keep on splitting Even they couldn't get it to fit It's too late It's too little It's too frail It's too brittle It's too true to be good, my friend I can take my time While I spit out four letter words You can do my time While I spit out four letter words I can take my time While I spit out four letter words You can do my time While I spit out four letter words

Vapid vases Endless scrawl Collect opinions on the wall Gold coins No currency You're on display again Museum of Nothing Recite insights you swallowed whole Convinced it matters what you're told Avoid the certainty You're on display again Museum of Nothing Nothing Ain't this shit great? Selling gravediggers all your empty space Museum of Nothing Nothing No positive change Shoveling shit over the road you paved It's elaborate It's too long But if you cut it down some You can see where it went wrong It's alright It's just a job It's just make it to the end without following along It's elaborate It's too long But if you cut it down some You can see where it went wrong It's alright It's just a job It's just make it to the end without following along Museum of Nothing Nothing Ain't this shit great? Selling gravediggers all your empty space Museum of Nothing Nothing No positive change Shoveling shit over the road you paved

Old Magick 03:47
Never quiet now and never quite the same Can't turn it down or find someone to blame The effects collect until someone complains Then find a way Get fine with this Or you chasing the cravings of craven agents that insist On calling it "old magic" Stopped making sense Sworn to enforcing etiquette that persists Conjuring old magic Give a little then get whatever keeps me fed Worked up the nerve Heavy as lead Cause either you've been missed or you've been misled You were so obsessed Get fine with this Or you chasing the cravings of craven agents that insist On calling it "old magic" Stopped making sense Sworn to enforcing etiquette that persists Conjuring old magic I didn't need it to be good It was a means to an end It was a place to keep my clutter But soon I'm meeting everybody And for everyone you know There's someone who knows you better Guess I couldn't shake the paranoia Imagination's running wild My foundation's in the gutter I was kind of jealous, I'll admit it At least you got to run around I'm still digging out my tunnel
