Our Father who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy shame
Thy will be done if that's what you want
But one day, I’ll run away
Amen
II. Shut Up
‘Scuse me if I haven’t stroked your ego much today
My ego could use some stroking too
Sorry I respond with no more than a word or two
If you had to talk to you, I bet you’d go silent too
You’re such a meanie, are you gonna shut up now?
You’re always screaming, are you gonna shut up now?
You’re so outdated, are you gonna shut up now?
I’m growing frustrated, don’t you ever shut up?
If I always spoke my mind you’d pop me on the mouth
So I keep my feelings to myself
Fix your fussing lips to ask me what I’m thinking ‘bout
Don’t huff or tap your toe, when I answer I don’t know
You’re such a meanie, are you gonna shut up now?
You’re always screaming, are you gonna shut up now?
You’re so outdated, are you gonna shut up now?
I’m growing frustrated, don’t you ever shut up?
Crazy how you make me feel like I’ve done something wrong
When I’m just watching Saturday cartoons
You can be real dark cloud a storm of insecurity
Don’t rain on my parade, get you judgments out my lemonade
(Chorus)
I can’t dress the way I like without you chiming in
With a sorry deconstruction of my style
You say all I have to do is church and school and chores
But I’ve got interests too, the least of them is you
(Chorus)
I’m growing frustrated, I hate it, I hate you
I love you, I’m confused, I’m abused
A breakthrough, a breakdown
The way that they have us controlled is by telling us what reality is. And if we accept that the powers within us will create that reality. (KRIS BECKER)
III. Runaway
I wanna runaway (It’s basically mind control)
You must know that I can’t stay (run)
IV. Icarus
He Will Add has been in contact with The Snake. Monitor him closely. All unpredictable behavior must be reported.
Preacher’s son
Bound to runaway
Wonder how the hell
Anyone can stay
Fly away
On your wings of wax
Never have regret
Never coming back
Runaway
Runaway
Wings of wax
Never coming back
