lyrics

Everyone moves so fast
Making everything seem so slow
I can't seem to help but write
Things that I don't really know

I'm pretty sure there's two of me
I'm pretty sure there's two of me
And neither one of us is going
To say that we know what we're doing
Well, I don't ever really know
I don't ever really know

I'm watching old tv
But it doesn't bring you near me
Maybe I should go outside
But then I couldn't see the screen so clearly

Where are you, where are you
This tent of trees has shaded you
And the darkness has fought off the light
An evil man can grab his gun
And take advantage of what's been done
So while in the darkness you cannot be found
And you do things you'd never do above the ground
And sometimes I think that man is me

Bring that man to his knees
Set the afflicted free

Arise from the dark

Lyrics by: Matt Greene
