I’m going out tonight
No matter what you say, I wanna feel alive
Leaving this suburban hell
Where all my dreams will come to fail
And then I’ll feel alright
I don’t know what it takes
To find myself in this repressive place
And I might get out of line
Cause if I move too fast I might lose my mind
Don’t tell me what to do
I got my own plan, don’t give a fuck about you
In control of myself
Not in need of any help
Maybe I am alright
I don’t know what it takes
To find myself in this repressive place
And I might get out of line
Cause if I move too fast I might lose my mind

Take that frown off of your face
Don’t be such a damn disgrace
We’re only here to party
I know you’re tired, it’s been a while
And this whole culture ain’t your style
Forget all of your problems
All these smiles that I put on
Are just a mask for loneliness
Won’t be an inconvenience
I’ll tell you everything’s alright
That I sleep comfortably each night
The truth’s too complicated
All these smiles that I put on
Are just a mask for loneliness
Won’t be an inconvenience
You say you’re worried about me
Well I can’t see your sympathy
I'm just another problem for you

Hands tied, Bolted down,
All it causes are nervous breakdowns
No one’s safe, with it infesting us,
All these standards are superfluous
You can’t tell me that you’re my friend
When all you do is judge me in the end
I won't be a slave to your roles for me
Gotta preserve my sanity
Society, controlling our brains
Takes all our differences, converts them to pain
Society, drives us insane
Ambushing our individuality
Well I won’t conform, I won’t comply
I’ll laugh in your face with my head held high,
I don’t care what you think, you’re not on my side
If you don’t accept me, I won’t run and hide
You tell me I’m just messed up kid
That I’m in a phase I’ll get over it
Well, I won’t change for your convenience/request
It’s a real damn shame you can’t just see
Society, controlling our brains
Takes all our differences, converts them to pain
Society, drives us insane
Ambushing our individuality

This Song Kills Fascists

I will not rest
With the fascists in our government
I will not stand
For nothing but full equality
What a time to write a protest song
To tell our friends that they do belong
White man’s gotta blame the immigrant
Well, he’s full of shit, he’s not innocent
Women raise your fists and fight
Your choices can’t be left to the patriarchists
Won’t rate you on a scale of one to ten
But I’ll tell you this, you’re cool as shit!
I will not rest
With the fascists in our government
I will not stand
For nothing but full equality
All my friends, stand proud stand tall
If they kick you down, I'll pick you up when you fall
There's no damn reason to convert you
Just be yourself and love yourself because we love you too
I will not rest
With the fascists in our government
I will not stand
For nothing but full equality

There's a divide between us,
Glass we can't avoid,
There's no way to close the gap
I see the possibilities,
Like platforms in space,
No bridges in between.
I'm surrounded by glass
But I can't break through
It’s too strong to shatter
And I can't reach you
There's no room for clarity,
The walls compress me
Like a vice inside my mind.
But I won't turn back,
I'll find a way,
To erode it in time.
I'm surrounded by glass
But I can't break through
It’s too strong to shatter
And I can't reach you
