Static (All Around Me)


submerged deep within my thoughts lay a community of lies gathering and organizing to keep me from my prize Static is all around me nothing seems to make it through and thoughts cloud my mind but there is nothing that I can do when the picture isn't clear not quite sure what to hold dear the connection tries but slowly dies and static overcomes full of systematic, automatic, problematic, fear I take a look, at what I've got, and try to be sincere It's not ordinary, corollary, or normally the case but when it deals with this and not with that I've got to quit the race Cause when the image isn't right you might just give into the fight but stop to think swim, don't sink and try to save yourself static is all around me has coalesced for long enough there's much to find unorganized crime to snuff out listen to yourself don't pick up other people's waves cause when it boils down to the core you've got to be a brave
