The responsible party,
The lost son,
Someone has to look out for them,
When father done went away,
I lived alone,
In the house we shared,
It's better that he was gone,
Being by yourself means,
That you dont have to exect someone to leave you anytime soon,

'Cept for maybe a few of the voices,
They just get quiet every once in a while,
I am happy to say, they stay.

What you dont want,
Fucking amazing,
How that sticks around.

The responsible party,
Makes sure that we all get by.
All evidence to the contrary states otherwise
No signs of life reside
In some ways things are wonderful

The responsible party needs to relax
Every once in a while
Stories of light collored in blue
Say to us
The same thing
We expect from you.

The truth is, as you see fit.
Fall together
Stay alive
Its all good
Where do we go from here?

I have my own ideas
When someone disagrees
I say
Look it up
Go see for yourself

The miracles of hanging on the noose
Someone cuts you down
Makes it seem to be truthful
That once what was up
Came back down

Yup
Sure did
And ther aint nothing you can do about that.
