lyrics

Get off your seat and dance with me
Come with me I’ll make you feel free
In a world that’s so condescendingly mean and so obscene
If I could postulate the truth I’d probably come clean
It’s in my dreams

And now we’re vibin
Cause I ain’t forgetting you
Sliding
I Know that we’ll make it through
Wildin’
And now I wanna get lost with you

Run away while you can,
I fear the duality of man
And I’m simpleton with no class
Cause somebody’s bound to kick my ass
So go and leave while I still bleed
While maybe someone else can see
I’m just a victim of the vast majority
or so it seems

I fear away
I fear the worst but I know I will never change…
Or so it seems…
And you know that I could never feel when things were bound to go their way
But when I’m wildin… I can feel all your silence;
I don’t know where my mind is… I wanna lose it all with you…
And now I’m prying, a broken man and I’m trying…
Building up where I’m lying...
God will come and smite me too.

Run away while you can,
I fear the duality of man
And I’m simpleton with no class
Cause somebody’s bound to kick my ass
So go and leave while I still bleed
While maybe someone else can see
I’m just a victim of the vast majority
or so it seems

And If I had ten years to know, I’d let it all qgo.
But my instincts all start to fail and I know I can’t prevail.

So nice and sweet; the taste of defeat,
I know I’m fine; I’ll make it divine.
It’s in my mind.

Run away while you can,
I fear the duality of man
And I’m simpleton with no class
Cause somebody’s bound to kick my ass
So go and leave while I still bleed
While maybe someone else can see
I’m just a victim of the vast majority
or so it seems
Heed a caution from this tale;
Better to listen before you derail.
I’m still a simpleton with no class
Cause somebody’s bound to kick my ass
Internal bleeds and sleepless nights
You’ll never see the end of my fights.
At least that’s how I’ll never be alone...
In the majority.
