Song Structure/Lyrics:

---> Play Intro (x1)
---> Play Riff 1 over
Nick:
I can't free myself of the suspicion
For your motives on your mission
Some people live for the rules
I live for exceptions
Can't take part in the deception
But I know just how it feels
To wanna blow the world away
Just to get to what is real
It won't work 'cuz
Everybody grinds to a halt now and then
Everybody's game gets salt then again
No matter what the papers say they're normal as they come
Bodyguards, ball of wax, they hide behind the gun
They get a panic pulse when they are so far from home
To me that is the reason to continue to roam
Exhiliration mix with the people skunk blazing
Checking out the shows that are sadly unamazing
---> Play Riff 2 over:
Nick:
Hostile Apostle who you following
Negative energy that you're swallowing
Some coked out malcontent
Who's soul is up for rent
Victim of lost soul Hostile apostle
SA:
Unlimited time and space and nearest universal
Light is what we're reaching for it's not rehearsal
Follow this around follow this hustle
Makin use of everything movin' all your muscle
---> Play Chorus over:
Nick:
Angry Human leads impressionable boy
To skulls and piercings and will to destroy
All of your heroes speak nothing to me
One emotion one tempo and no real feeling
---> Play Riff 2 over:
SA:
In this field we are the presence of the thoughts you're missin'
Keepin positive's intact from all the people dissin'
Open your eyes look at who you're kissin'
If you can't hear it people just listen
Nick & SA:
Hostile Apostle who you following
Negative energy that you're swallowing
Some coked out malcontent
Who's soul is up for rent
Victim of lost soul Hostile Apostle
---> Play Chorus over:
Nick:
Angry human leads impressionable boy
To skulls and peircings and will to destroy
All of your heroes speak nothing to me
You don't have to be a prick just to be heavy
---> Play Riff 3A over:
SA:
Changin' all the time changin all the same
Change in this life and this eternal frame
Warm in the sun refresh in the breeze
Glow in the stars blossom in the trees
---> Play Riff 3B over:
SA:
Livin' through life in infinite extent
Spread undivided operate unspent
No high no low no great and no small
Build and bound connect and equal all
---> Play Outro (x1)
