lyrics

Screaming like your back's against the wall
Tripping yourself up to fall
Victim to this crippling immaturity
Screening out any intelligence
Impaling yourself on the fence
Lulled into a false sense of security

But there's a flower blooming
Off the top of an unmarked grave
A sapling rising from scorched earth
Spring will come to make everything anew
Time will go onward
You'd better get in on it too

Shy eyes, always run into the ground
Shooting high-angle, earthbound
Sheltering from your own reflection in theirs
White lies to the others, to yourself
To remain upon the shelf
Trying hard not to see you're trapped in a maze

But there's a flower blooming
Off the top of an unmarked grave
A sapling rising from scorched earth
Spring is here, making everything anew
Time to quit biting the helping hand
Grab it and let it pull you through

You can't control those dreadful odds
Finding yourself at a crossroads
Searching for a way to egress
A work in progress

On the learning path to let go
Of your avarice, your ego
Hell is other people, but only if you make them so
Power yourself but don't be blind
You're a part of the gestalt mind
Let there be light to thrust the trust from inside out

Alone and empty
Feeling let down, left out
Afraid and angry
Expecting both too much and not enough
Life is but a game
You have to play to win
Caring's the hard mode
But it's easier cooperating
It's less scarring

The server's running, I'm logged on
I'm waiting for players to join
