Sleepy eyes, you see right through me
I wish that you would make up your mind
Locked away, that face is your disguise
But you wont know if you dont...
Try
You remember all my mistakes
Well the last two years were most of them
And I always seem to bend and break over you
There is no pleasing you
But I am getting better
I'm ready for the summer
Bring on the warmer weather
I'm ready for the summer
But your sleepy eyes
Always seem to get the best of me
But your sleep eyes
Are all I can see at 3 a.m.
Are all I can see at 3 a.m.
But I am getting better
I'm ready for the summer
Bring on the warmer weather
I'll recover over the summer

The General

Spend my days at the factory
That consumes me
As I conceal my fate
And I will waste away
deep within the money ive made
Life goes on
A sick and bitter slave
Broke and torn
this slave will have his day
eyes sown shut
But you say its worth it
Ive made my masterpiece
and i have the right to say
for the master display
and i dont know
who the fuck do you think you are
guess the trust dosnt go that far
to try and control me
i dont think so
but you say its worth it
you say its better the general took my life away
nothing good will come of this
I swear that theres a better way
you say I need this
but I know its been a big mistake
This is what you want in life
I swear I'll find another way
But you say its worth it

cant shake the wrong
i am not who you think i am
i am not who i think i am
all the words have been rehearsed
every line of every verse
its a blessing and a curse
but i dont mind
i dont mind
cuz its all that i have
the substantial sacrifice
distinguish man from the mice
theres a wrong a theres a right
and we walk that line
called the low divide
take your time
think it over
theres something not right
use your strength and push it over the edge
the stress and revenge
long live the past
with those problems that you cant see to grasp
your living on the edge
while the attached move on
and you sacrifice it all
rise up so high just to fall
you built yourself a little wall
to keep them out
you scream and shout
take your time think it over
theres something not right
use your strength and push it over the edge
the stress
and you look weak and very tired
put that weight on my shoulders
ill carry you on

I am just a shell of a man
you say you understand
in such an encouraging way
but you dont thats okay
and i swear
that i will forever stand
with my fear in hand
cuz the sword and sheild are weakend by shame
i might sin
break some hearts along the way
i might win
i thought i was clever but im not and thats okay
well we go
along with the flow
with no compassion we hold
in our hearts and our souls
and we know
if the people had control
things would be much better
but could we ever agree on a thing
these thoughts are never tame
and we might sin
break some hearts along the way
we might win
we thought we were clever
but were not and thats okay
please hold on
please hold onto what you believe
and please hold on
please hold onto what you believe
and dont sell your soul
for riches and gold dont you sell yourself out
dont you sell yourself out
