lyrics

Caught in the undertow of some pretty persuasion
These words, sonic integers, measuring the equation
And, oh, such a lonely way to be free.

Grasp at the streaks of phrase of a thousand great authors
Of men who were strong and brave yet in their hearts felt like paupers
And, oh, such a lonely way to be free.

If you get the paper then I'll get the matches
We'll set fire to all of these tales told by liars
If you take the median, I'll take the counterpoint
And we'll send them up like the fourth of July
If you take the consonance, I'll take the metaphor
We'll write a new chapter on the art of the fight
Let's make a spectacle, let's smoke out all the fools
Who've read all these books and never stopped to ask why they've read all these books and never stopped to ask, why?

Loosen the paragraphs that defy rhyme or reason
Inscribe on the epitaph: "the end of a season"
And oh, such a lovely way to be free.
