The Shapeshifter

Falling out of place
I found my feet in outer space
I saw you there & it was so uncomfortable
You said you weren't alone
& That the earth is temporary
The things you say, they don't
Strike me as your own
A backwards thought takes hold a crowd
But no one can say it out loud
Passive aggressive tyrants
Claiming to be giants
Well I don't believe in mind control
But I can't shake this feeling that I'm involved
In something I don't understand
If it's sinister or a master plan
Standing in place of the Sun
I'll watch from above
The problems we've caused leave no clouds to make shapes from
Only troubles we choose to ignore
Now I realize
It's not gravity pulling me down
Someone's got in your ear
& Reminded you the strength of fear
Don't give it in you're so
Much more than skin & bones
Heart shaped lungs scream out for the unborn children
Entering the world to be one of the billions
Of people here stuck in this rut (alone)
Heart shaped lungs scream out for the unborn children
Entering the world to be one of the billions
Of people here with an uneasy feeling in their gut
Don't fix it if its not broken
I'm afraid it could be busted beyond repair
I won't be helpless
How do you just sit there?
Content with the life you've chosen
Close & safe with everyone's nose in it
Where did I sign my name on the dotted line?
Standing in place of the Sun
I'll watch from above
The problems we've caused leave no clouds to make shapes from
Only troubles we choose to ignore
Now I realize
It's not gravity pulling me down
& I must have missed the head count
If I could make my voice clearer
If I could make my point stand out
Then maybe they would notice
Radio silence echoes through the air
I must've missed the headcount
‘Cause there's people everywhere
Radio silence echoes through the air
‘Cause nobody's answering any of our prayers
I can see a mans hands stretched out up toward the Sun
He's begging for his life back and his wrongs to be undone
(If I could make my voice clearer, If I could make my point stand out)
Well I don't believe in mind control
But I can't shake this feeling that I'm involved
In something that I can't understand
A sinister plan
