(album: Resignation Day - 2008)

Lean my forehead against the window glass, it bends the lights that drip
Inside, spent days roaming room to room with instincts un-applied
September's here and we ain't been ourselves lately
The old me liked the old you

I'd know from around the corner
When no one's there it's panic and disorder
Clock hands creeping by; why am I always surprised?
The dish cracked and dried
I wait for the door to unlock, clawing walls
And gnawing on the sheetrock
Sifting through wreckage for some scraps
Thrown before the world collapsed
I'm winding up, still I'm more unwrapped
If something snaps...

You know that just a walk through Logan Park could save us all
We'd hear some natural sound
I'd stretch out and feel the grass beneath, not artificial ground
But you've had plans lately
When you hit the floor maybe scream if you can see me
Scream if you...

Treating creatures like machines
But we can't be controlled all the time, no, resistance breeds
If we don't get what we need, get bent and bowed, tick explode
