lyrics

Failure's not an option, boys
That's not to say that I don't believe in you
We gotta hold down this fort, don't play coy
Don't imply that there's a single truth
I know that we're better than that
I know we're just stars on a map
And I know we're nothing bigger than that
Nothing more than the final, prize-winning lap

Now, Liver, you know it's your duty
To maintain the calmness, composure
Amidst all this chemical looting,
A search for some sort of closure
But, really, what is this closure?
The viciousness of covering over
All the shit that we love when we're sober
What do we love when we're sober?

And with the advent of interconnectedness
Who thought that we could ever care less
Than one but greater than zero
Take a picture of me, love, cause I'm you're hero

The ever changing image in the mirror
And the caricature of everything that you fear
I can't tell you that I'll ever get clearer
Or that I'll embody all that you hold dear

Your faith in me is so certain
A concrete structure that you're sure won't collapse
But there's a good chance I'll raze it all to the ground
Leaving relics of no value that'll never be found

So when you picture the future
When you build it up, piece by piece
What do you see for your reflection?
Does the image look anything like me?

The ever changing image in the mirror
And the caricature of everything that you fear
I can't tell you that I'll ever get clearer
Or that I'll embody all that you hold dear
