We are like a piece of cloth
Just as frail as a moth
Caught on the barb wire
Searching for bright fire
If I’m torn to the last string
I dread to think what it would bring
Chorus:
Will the cloth give way
To a fate I wcan not say
Will the fabric go on
Until the last thread is gone
material left so I can sow
I will be safe on the go
Until I’m snagged on a rod
Helpless as a land cod
Knowing that it’s not all dark
knowing there’s a story ark
Chorus

Well There are so many things to eat
But for me I prefer meat
It’s a good source of protein
Prefect fuel for this human machine
Lamb and beef crustacea and fish
I’ll eat it all put it on a dish
So go and get me a good fork
Cause I’m ready to eat some pork
Chorus:
Chop Chop Chop going to the meat shop
Chop chop chop welcome to the meat shop
Chomp chomp chomp eating from the meat shop
Chop Chop Chop welcome to the meat shop
Though some say it’s grotesque
it’s something I need off my chest
It’s time to be a carnivore
and eat some crazy wild boar
Seafood is so good to grab
Get me a shrimp, a lobster and a crab
This food makes me feel strong
Now here’s a feast I won’t prolong

Well some people get what’s normal
well I don’t get that at all
And if they do they don’t tell
A subject that they don’t want to dwell
I get an paranoiac skeleton
Who’s fears and thoughts I can’t out run
He battles me everyday
Keeps me in a state of dismay
Chorus:
Your stitched inside me, roots grow like a tree,
now I’m stitched inside you afraid of what you’ll do
I know him as my dark side
And sometimes our views collide
But I can’t give in to his sin
I can’t treat him as my twin
I want him out of my mental setting
My goals of life I keep forgetting
All my hope he keeps repressing
My sanity is regressing

I know there is many mistakes I made I don’t want to Remember
But time sweeps them all away, like wind and a feather
And often I still feel the pain from every single thorn
but every day I will fight, when life has made me worn
life has made me worn
though I'm thankful for what I have acquired
a sense to progress is what I truly desire
push away all the thoughts of me vigorously torn
Tooth and nail I will fight, when life has made me worn

I know there’s a weaver, whose made the human thread, My goal is to appreciate and listen to what he’s said. But the crows are always in my way, in every strand of hay, but I need to my work today, and scare them all away, they get annoying after sometime, after all the while, all I can do is get use to it, and withstand the trial
Chorus:
I am a scarecrow, watching events come and go, like a statue made of stone I can't move from where I'm sown
every time that they attack, I’ll always feel a claw, it getting through my thin burlap, and now into my straw, I realize it can wear me down, and seem so unfair, my face is becoming so worn out, my body is threadbare, through every repair from the weaver I came back scarier, though tearing I may have felt, I have a barrier
Chorus
Now at the moment I’m comparing an odd analogy, if I was blunt, some people might want an apology, But I need a way to express myself let all of it just flow, everyone has a parallel, for me it’s a scarecrow
Chorus

I always thought there was just a goal to get
And life was solving them to end regret
But the objects around are what they are
like a scar on your arm is but a scar
If you don’t achieve or even if you do
Fade either way, just find that is true
Chorus:
As we get older and then decay, take the time to see there's beauty in a way, like leaves in the autumn don't just fade to grey, from red to brown to orange, it's a wonderful display
They made me think to follow a line
Find someone and everything will be fine
But as time went I grew old
the things you said were lies you told
I realized now that peace can not be seen with eyes
Within my mind and soul is where the real clam lies
Chorus
And if I die alone, I could blame all of you,
as least I have the knowledge I did what I had to do

Why do my plans just go a rye
Why do people just past me by
Can humans do what they say they can
what was behind the mothman
Where’s the line between betrayal and trust
Whatever happened to the son of rust
So many reasons we use to claim
We think everything we can explain
Chorus:
Concepts that we'll never understand, if you're an atheist or a christian
there will be matters that we'll never understand, there's always something that's out of our hands
Can we create a utopia, or be stuck with dystopia, what is the size of the universe, can life be without a curse, are the rules we enforce, veering us all off our course, is all knowledge something we discern, or is it something we must earn
Chorus
So if you think everything should be known
I’ll let you go and turn every stone
New things will come that we do not know
We’re not prefect, so let it just sow

You say as though I am special, act as though it’s not essential, you don’t care if my life is tense, your success is my expense, take the soul out of the vessel, no concern for if I’m mental, play with my chance of future, laugh at me for your own humor
Chorus:
Farmer till it up, till up your crop and don't you dare stop, worker 'til the bone, it's all about what you have sown
Leave me hanging high and dry, Now everything is DIY, I’m suppose to be a human being, emotions part of my well-being
Matters of me you discard
Your stuck on your own self- regard, labor is my one advance, and all-else is left up for chance

Can you hear this, is my signal okay
I am sealed in cell block 4Xk
I unearth it, the right truth
Lies are told to every youth
Do you get this, is my message through
Understand and be the few
are you in control of you brain
is your free will fully slain
chorus:
Put on your strait jacket, they'll call you a nut basket, Intelligence is insane, your goals they will restrain,
close up every pins, your emotion is a sin, steal up every strap, your a fly in their trap
Don’t listen to what they spew
their agenda uses you
Life is more than temptation
don’t be lend to condemnation
There was honor a moral code
An idea they will erode
Heed my words now, and contemplate
Don’t let it all just stagnate
Chorus
the loonies run the show, the truth we will not know, will we ever see the truth again, I don't think we will know

This is something to not ignore,
What exactly are you living for
everyone has a life to bare
We must have faith a goal is there
I know there’s fights we fought
But all of us have a rightful spot
Thought conditions can be adverse
we have a place in the universe
Chorus:
I need some binding
Motive that I’m finding
I must keep reading
To find where it’s leading
it’s a narrative
Each section is imperative
held by one string
I want to feel everything
It may take longer than I thought
And I’m scared that I might rot
If doing right, shows no win
At least I’ll avoid option to sin
My moral code keeps me going
Shows my maturity is growing
What is the prize before death’s door
what is it that keeps me wanting more
Chorus
I don’t want my pages to wither
I must not be alone to shiver
I pray my fate to deliver
I want my life altogether

The true is a disgrace, no one will embrace, when doing all that is right, the very thing that is your blight, I thought people always respect, rules and laws that are correct,
For all the effort that I try, I still find that I cry
Chorus:
I give up, I give in, life is now disgusting sin, I give up, I give in, will something ever happen, I give up, I give in, is this a fight I’ll ever win?, I give up, I give in will we cure this blistered skin
I ask you not to spawn, because your offspring will be a pawn, as time goes on things will get worse, every moment will feel like a curse, greed and pride invest the air, leading to something I can not bear, divided world man eat man, I thought we were humans with a plan

Do you ever question what’s been said,
Do you wonder how you've been bred
Ever think about what you’ve been fed
Ever consider knowledge is mislead
What do they want put in your head
Growth is what they clam, but it's all just for shred
Chorus:
Don't give a thought, don't meditate, it's what we're thought
until it all breaks, until it all breaks
Don't give a thought, don't meditate, it's what we're thought
until it's too late, until it's too late
I want you to ponder how they've been lead
And consider all that you have read
When conditions come will they have fled
Have we reached a time of mental bled
The feeling of coming that I much dread
The threshold is failing, wearing our thread
Chorus
