Something that's inside of me. It's something that I cannot see. Like rules and regulations. Passed down for generations. I wish I had my very own flag,.
So you say, all your white flags are up and that you've had enough and that you were tired of collecting dust, you say everything always looks the same and you made your brand new face to match your brand new place, you say all your distress calls have gone out and your ship is going down.
This is the modern world. This is the modern world. . What kind of fool do you think I am?. To think I know nothing but the modern world. All my life is spent outside.

Man came down from the field. A lonely horseman. Heading back to the stable. Said he was sorry. But his 'cain was not able. To save us all from ourselves.
If I could loose. If you could choose. For this next dance you might choose me. I ain't no pussy with the blues. Just step out on the floor and see. .
Mental cruelty that's what I heard her say. Mental cruelty to the judge that day. I sat there in silence so she could be free. And listened to her lying words mental cruelty.
