The Race

You try to put me in my place
Telling me that I'm just a disgrace
I live for the race
You're claiming me as your keepsake
The only way you can sleep safe
A little light in the dead space
Begging me not to lose my faith
I live for the race
I drown in half-hearted solace
Tripping over my conscience
I try keeping my distance
It don't make any difference
I confide in your embrace, your expressionless face
It tears me away
I live for the race
You try to put me in my place
Tell me that I'm a disgrace
I need you to know
I live for the race

I fear I've unwound
You placed your head in the ground
Allowing the sand to diminish the sound
I'm a sorrowing saint
Held responsible for our fate
Arrived and I'm plotting to dig you out
Suppressing my will
Clouding my mind again with shrill
Voices allotting for us to be free
Selection will play its game
Not if we challenge it
Not if we're willing to alter our minds
American now
Its what its like to be American now
I'll show you how to be American now
Innocent life
[John F. Kennedy Speech]
"Whatever our hopes may be for the future, for reducing this threat or living with it, there is no escaping the gravity or totality of its challenge to our survival and to our security. A challenge that confronts us in unaccustomed ways in every sphere of human activity."
There's a strange comfort
Putting guns to our brother's heads
But it's how we're bred
It's our innocence compromised
American now

Show me the nearest precipice for when I lose my head
Drawing pictures of the trenches dancing with the dead tonight
It'll be much easier to live cliche
Than to tuck my tail and run away
Embalmed affection for each other
It always takes a little bit more to feel estranged
When we're all bound to fade away
I'd rather waste it away with you
So will you waste it away with me?
Sell your ambiance and let it be
Embalmed affection for each other
It takes a little bit more to feel estranged
When we're all bound to fade away
I'd rather waste it away with you
So would you waste away with me?
Sell your ambiance and let it be.

I was raised a lover and a fighter
I came to find I could be a liar
Learned that the day my father's hand became a little lighter
My mother's plan
Leave it all behind
In my own hands
I watched it fall apart

It's time to celebrate
Our new found faith
He checked his confidence and left it at the door
My pity is backed by gold
No secrets left to hold
I learned to recognize the spaces and the faces in between
You tend to hesitate
Some things will never change
I'm sensing comfort in the fiction that you breed
Our bodies seperate
Opinions take the blame
Approach the exit with a vacant mind
Another justified spate
Numb bodies
Hearts pounding
She's lonely and I am barely breathing
Numb bodies
Hearts pounding
She's lovely and I need someone to blame
Truth is underneath secret suffering
I need someone to blame
Numb bodies
Hearts pounding
She's lonely and I am barely breathing
Numb bodies
Hearts pounding
She's lovely and I need someone to blame
You're the one to blame

Cut me some slack but I wont cut back
Go on faking your approval
Go on keeping it intact
Because I am your God
I will bury my facade
I'll be competent at best
I've got a cigarette pressed to my lips
A faded silhouette attached to my hips
If you're gonna run away, why bother looking back?
I speak in alphabets disguising my wit
A secret dialect tattooed on my wrist
I'll turn the other way to keep the sun out of my face
Give me a sign
Take me away, there's some place I'd rather be
Show me the fine line to walk along
All alone
I'm a little too used to my ways
I haven't been sober in days
I'm trailing off and desolate
I'm growing tired of the race
Another cigarette, I'm wasting my breath
Spin around, lets start from the beginning
Forge another memory
There's just another hour left to find some peace of mind
Give me a sign
Take me away, there's some place I'd rather be
Show me the fine line to walk along
All alone

You're young but you're alive
You're afraid and that's alright
Step away
You'll move on and stand your own ground
All you wanted was a body left to fade
You took a little medicine to alleviate the pain
All you wanted was a symbol shed from grace
You took a little medicine
You'll never outlive the trail
So play the game and live in spite of me
Once I paid the piper now I'm a man of my own consequence
All you wanted was a body left to fade
You took a little medicine to alleviate the pain
All you wanted was a symbol shed from grace
You took a little medicine
Drop the habit now
Turn the other way
There's gonna be a better time, so find it
Tell the enemy
What's it gonna be?
Tell the enemy
What's it gonna be?
Tell the enemy
What's it gonna be?
All you wanted was a body left to fade
You took a little medicine to alleviate the pain
All you wanted was a symbol shed from grace
You took a little medicine to illuminate the shape
Drop the habit now
Turn the other way
There's gotta be a better time, so find it
Tell the enemy
What's it gonna be?
Tell the enemy
What's it gonna be?
