It\'s so great to see
You rise up from the ashes
Spread your wings and fly
Soar over the ruins
You claim to have had no part in
Attempt to make yourself great
Jam a few more into jars
Take them with you
To this heaven you wish to
Create a cloud of revived beliefs
Set in peace of mind
So glad to see you well
Cast aside your demons
Invite others in
And lock others out
Not to pull your halo down
Around your neck
Force you to the ground
Your Majesty
Holier then I
But, I\'m really very curious
How you intent to make amends
For the demons you refuse to see
Ones which you created
Within those you left alone
Burning in those ruins below you
While you ignored the smoke and smiled
Ignored each warning given
And can\'t figure out why
Why are we so distant?
While I fight demons
You can\'t see...won\'t see...
Won\'t acknowledge
So glad to see you
Reborn before us all
Saying, once more, you\'re changing
Fixing it all, bringing us along
Trying to force and pull
Things to good to be true
Since they aren\'t
But you follow them blindly anyways
Peddle your beliefs
Ignore the halo slipping
As they convince you it\'s alright
It\'s hard not to feel cast aside
When the alarms rang so long
And you chose to do nothing
Verbal warnings from others
Ignored as delusions
While you applauded your favorites
Those who followed your desired
Filled the molds you made
And, far to late, you noticed others
High on your new cloud
Giving new old sermons
Crafting your new halo
Blinding yourself to shadows setting in
Around those you claimed to care for
With your own artificial glow
Pay no mind to those left
So below you, you can\'t bother to hear
Push and force your choices
Onto those near
Anyone
Claim their best interests
Insist you know what\'s good
All this, for your new old world
So glad to see you there
Truly, it is
Glorious, as my world burns
And yet, you...
So safe and guiltless
Even if I could make you see
Claim ignorance
And claim innocence
Pay no mind to the shadows
Pay no mind to the devils
Claim care and compassion, still
Show otherwise
With no regard to the smoke
No regard for the alarms
And you wait, smiling
For what?
I can\'t be bitter
It\'s been so long
You believe you\'re innocent
Guiltless
For these demons
Favoring a tone to push away
So I fight alone
You won\'t enter the fray
Built walls to keep you at bay
A safe distance away
I\'m not angry
I\'m just tired
You\'ll always be this way
It\'s how you\'re wired
Now I\'m stuck
With \"It\'s better then I had\"
As though that makes it okay
As though that makes them go away
Leave ashes in your wake
Below your ever growing shadow
The walls that you built...
You\'ll believe you\'re guiltless
There\'s no point in arguing
There\'s no point to continue
Even when I reach out
Only pointless babble
I\'m just so...tired...
Did you ever notice?
Don\'t bother
I\'ll go back to sleep
Lay down my head
Ignore the halo round your neck
Like you ignored the rabble
Like you ignored the demons
The shadows
The smoke
The ever raging fires
Keep my head down
Go back to sleep
Pretend it\'s fine
Step away from the ruins
Watch the feathers fall
Dropping to our level
Poisons fizzling them out
Pay your ramblings no mind
Follow your lead
Just ignore the smoke
And smile
