lyrics

Pathos- for the kid who always wanted to go fishing in the desert

While you front, your friends are living more honestly,
Make it up, while you tell everybody what you, haven't seen,
Rolling your eyes around inside your skull don't get you out of here,
Pathological lies don't buy you time, dear,
Said don't woo me with your speech on truth, or try to bring it home by playing it cooth, because, oh, I can see you now, said you, I can see you now…

The forces that exerted themselves on you, were out of your control.
You were just a little kid, and now you're all fuckered up.
But you can be however you want, you just gotta believe in it, and get outta here,
Because you're family is evil and I am sad for you,
But you're dangerously close to becoming one of them,
'said you, you are only 16 years old, but you, you should run away,
'said you, you could find a better place.

There's someone looking out for you, protecting your ass and cooking you food.
He even taught you read, and did what he could within his limited capacity, but you gotta take it from here,
Because the day you'll take care of your own is drawing near,
Said just hold it up, high in your mind, the archetype of what they're trying to find, and you will move on,
'Said you reveal how predictable our heroes are.

You should read some Steinbeck and maybe some Farley Mowat,
Hear some different stories, then make your own, after that.
Because in your anger, there's the power to heal, the shit circumstance, messing up the ideal.
For every idea that's bought and sold, we got a whole lotta stories that've never been told.
But you, how you gonna tell 'em now?
'Said you, how you gonna tell 'em now?
