Shutting Down

I'm shutting down
clear the tables stack the chairs
shutting down
turn out the lights if no one's there
I know the words
but I can't bring myself to say them
if you persist you might just get a nod
I know what I want to say but can't say it
If there's a hidden meaning, I forgot
It's easier to stay quiet
and more to hold my counsel
it's easier to stay in the dark alone
It's easier to stay in my pit forever
It's easier still to never use the phone
i might stay here in the dark forever
I might stay shut down in this house of glass
i might not want to risk my own existence
I might avoid whatever comes to pass
I will stay here until the crowd disperses
I will stay here until the noise is gone
I won't risk my sense of senile self importance
By speaking out when I think that i'm alone

The Law
02:51

I'm not against a little experimentation
Whatever gets you through the week
but I won't listen to indoctranation
I won't practice what you preach
If all this sounds a little familiar
we're dipping back into the foe factory
everyone hugs you like a friend
but it all seems a little fake to me
Maybe it's a matter of personal choice
So that's the choice I made for sure
I'll do whatever I want to do
because that is a whole of the law
opium won't change anything
a book of lies won't turn into fact
just another chemical enterprise
and you can't get your braincells back
when they pull the wolrd over your eyes
when you're trapped in a corner, being fed lies
and you're so far gone that you've cut your ties
well that my friend is the warning sign
