lyrics

fireflies in a jar
loud steps minimized to a soft tip-toe
and it's fine being lost. requirements gone
move quiet through the halls.

steady getting witchy with that veni, vidi, vici feel
telepathy. I'm picking through your head and being creepy still
tipsy-turvy gypsy; sipping henney in the hippie-field
dancing non-chalantly, really trippy if you see me, but I need to heal
fix myself and shock the body
too many years of playing tonsil hockey with a rotten mind-freak
used to dig my pockets out to pay the price of heartbeats
wasted money on something I could've got free
it's warm at the bottom, and I've been sitting in the hot-seat
listening to Rob-Zombie...
Block-party 'til the morning. We've got hobbies that you probably couldn't understand
(Fuck it, man) Strange Days & Nights, we grew accustomed and...
intruders want to rush us 'cause they can't muster up another plan
flustered at the love and what we're coming to stand for
to disrupt the damn norm in a sly demeanor from Sun to Dawn, up under the asphalt

Coming together where the rules don't exist
One-another, all alone, and this is home (This is home)
As we float along the outskirts
No Trespassing, it's our World.
This is how the Underground works (x2)
They're knocking on the front-door, begging to get in.
There's no way. (x3)
As we float along the outskirts
No Trespassing, it's our World.
This is how the Underground works (x2)

the Donnie Darko of writing this quite impartial and grimy art,
avant-garde to society's liking
sight-seeing from an apartment. I'm fine being disconnected,
a goner in hiding, just watching all of it dying
there's not a part of me trying to keep it from falling,
'cause sacrifices oughta' be made in order to fly
free from the rainstorm; no umbrella, he stayed calm
Mary Poppins with a gully conscience. The gossiping must've got him...
behind bars but ready to change form
devastated at this desolate land he was raised on
It had him yawning. Empty bottle of NyQuil
headed off of the ledge and was lead to fall in a mine-field
where life feels better with people like you
an upheaval so peaceful. No Gods + No Kings...
too sweet when you disrupt the damn norm
in a sly demeanor from Sun to Dawn, up under the asphalt

(Hook)

fireflies in a jar
loud steps minimized to a soft tip-toe
and it's fine being lost. requirements gone
move quiet through the halls.

(Outro)
