lyrics

Lying on my back
Underneath my family tree
Looking up through generations
That preceded me

In the stillness, mental illness
Suicide, what a ride
Broken dreams, and still it seems
Not much has changed... still deranged

And we all keep slipping farther away

Trusted deceiver fans the fever
No relief from disbelievers
Shining armour, land of farmers
Found a best friend, but around again

Second family to protect me
From the dogs that would attack
In the stillness, mental illness
And there's no turning back

Throw me a rope
A spark of hope
Flames grow higher
Forty years later, still "the liar"

Lying on my back
Underneath my family tree
Looking up through generations
That preceded me

No oxygen to speak of
Up there on the moon
Better dance while there's still a chance
'Cuz they'll be coming soon

Hold your breath
To the death
Silence is the key
To loyalty

And we all keep slipping farther away...
