lyrics

The government's shutdown
I feel like everything's crumblin'
Right back down to the ground

I followed those breadcrumbs
Back to where they began
I came home, with nothin'
I came home, empty handed

Then I returned to bandage my wounds
All of these bruised from abandoned
I got caught in the open
Throwin' up inches away from the toilet bowl

[It Wasn't Pretty]

My manners, if I had any
They made me clean up the mess I'd made
Instead I swept it under someone else's rug
So it's safe to say, things were neglected
Not maintained, so no wonder they started crumblin'

[Sigh]

My hand burst through the rumble
Like I was hailin' a cab
I'd escaped capture from the all the bad I'd done
They was catchin', they was catchin' up n doin' it quick

I was runnin' as fast as I could
I smoke too much, I was a bit oughta breath
Then I tripped, and gravity, took advantage of my position
And bagged me

[Fallin' Through Time]

Man, I was stiff as a board
When they brought me into the morgue
But a spark was still lit, hidden within

[Ember Starts to Glow]

So my spirit, my spirit
Was rekindled
Ya I'm alive again
Ya I can breathe again

[Takin' A Deep Breath]

Her hand it came extending, so gracefully oughta the carriage
Her chauffier he carried us far, far away
Then me n princess we stayed

When you're a king, so high above it all
You don't notice those ants below, crawlin'

We gotta watch the decay spread
Safe in our bed(s) on the local news
Let me tell you what we saw, ima tell you every detail

From upon the hill
We saw the old order fall
Only to be reborn
From the smolderin' ashes

Ya so boys, snuff out that ember when you're through

... the end...
