So you've decided to take a stab at being insane.
Some prefer illusion to despair, you know,
and illusion seems the beneficial side to that game,
but you’re stuck in a cell in the inch-perfect hell that you've carved yourself —
You're not listening. And all the while you're just singing:
I am the little knight with the sky above my eyes
I am not afraid
So you've decided to take a stab at being insane.
You're hiding in song but all song is futile in this game.
Raging against the dying of the light in five point one surround sound.
Raging but you won't get out of this, you know so, but you don’t care,
I guess ignorance is...
Do you know what cul-de-sac means? I guess you do
cause keep getting into one, it’s a vicious circle.
The mirror you stare in can't bear your reflection, isn’t that telling?
You’re still not listening. And all the while, you’re just singing:
I am the little knight with the sky above my eyes
I am not afraid
So you've decided to take a stab at being insane.
You're hiding in song but all song is futile in this game.
Raging against the dying of the light in five point one surround sound.
Raging but you won't get out of this, you know so, but you don’t care,
I guess ignorance is...
Raging against the dying of the light in five point one surround sound.
Raging to yourself out of this, you know so, but you don’t care,
I guess ignorance is bliss.

Too Big To Fail

Blue chip stock company, you have bankrupted me
Thought you were too big to fail
I went to bed in a society, only to wake up in an economy
My head’s exploding
Quantitative easing is what my dealer recommends
It is an easy fix when you’re let down by governments

Burn your thoughts on cd for me
Enter your read-only memories
Save your voice to mp3
So I can listen to it when I’m alone
I’ve got a flatbed scanner so won’t you lend me
The pupils of your eyes;
I’ll navigate for hours
Through the beauty of your black
You’re the system operator,
Trojan horse eradicator cleaning me at source
CPU debugger,
Stone-cold, antiviral gigabiting force
Now I’m all soft errors so disconnect me
Once in a while;
I’ll browse for hours
Through my re-installed self-respect

Double Bind

Break down the lie.
Show me all the reasons why
you sold me way down the river
where I helplessly drowned.
Can I show you around
in the ruins of my mind?
I would like to see you cry and cringe
at the broken promises you made me.
Never apologetic, you’re a truly systematic liar.
How could I be so blind?
You twisted your words all around
and I was caught in your double bind.
