It's so easy to judge behind the disguise of a lit cigarette aglow 
I say "This ain't my scene" wherever I go 
But I hardly know myself so how would I know? 

And I may seem cool but I'm fallin' apart 
A starving artist with a food stamp card 
Clamoring for affection 
Desperate for attention 
Trying to force some sort of connection 

But I'm trying to get better with every endeavor 
Spend a little less effort on being clever 
And a little more time being kind 
I'll question myself till I make up my mind 

There's a poetry tome next to my bed 
That I've never read, it's where I stash my rent 
I'm a college drop out who never mediates 
Claiming to teach you the way 

When we changed our tune I asked Bran what he thought 
He grabbed me by the shoulders and said that I've got 
An obligation to fufill 
Given my privilege and skill 
To set my intention and direct my will 

He said: We don't have the ammo to fight off the cops 
No power to stop these corporate plots 
Apocalyptic warnings they just won't stop 
Our strongest weapon is to create beauty with all that we've got 
It's all that we've got 
So, keep that in mind
Rock N Roll will never die! 

Once my lover sang me a song 
From the mountain top, my very favorite one 
And I couldn't even cry 
I've told so many people a lie 
When I told them I'd love them forever 

I value my friends over everything else 
But then I'm not there when they need my help 
I'm a "Nice Guy" 
But I just don't have the time 
And I've got so many friends 
And I'm spreading myself thin 
Keep busy with the common wealth 
So I don't have to work on myself 

So I put on my mask 
And I skip town 
But a fire inside 
Is burnin' me down 
When you bury my bones, what stories will you tell? 
Will the glow go unnoticed when I'm raisin' hell? 
Whatever grows from my grave don't let it dwell 
Just dig yourself a garden and guard it well
