Substitution

There's a vulture perching right off screen

And it's bitter and whispers chaotic things

And the weeps turn quick into bullying

It's so easy to see, everyone can agree, stop listening

I know you've heard it before

But then it wasn't enough

You don't wanna be held back from the substitution

I know you've seen this before

And now enough is too much

You don't wanna be set back when the substitution comes

I'm sorry

You're a marionette in the center of

The twisting strings coming from above

It may seem too deep to recover from

It's so easy to see, everyone can agree, just let it go

I know you've heard it before

But then it wasn't enough

You don't wanna be held back from the substitution

I know you've seen this before

And now enough is too much

You don't wanna be set back when the substitution comes

I'm sorry

I'm sorry

When the voices start spinning, just be aware

I have brought enough stones for us to share

That one's grinning, that one's burning aim for the throat

Let 'em choke on the stones that we are to throw

It's the great downfall

The big overthrow

If you shoot them down

It'll make you soar

When reactions turn into hurricanes

And the middle ground seems a little tame

Whether full or empty it's all the same

It's so easy to see, everyone can agree, you're not to blame

I know you've heard it before

But then it wasn't enough

You don't wanna be held back from the substitution

I know you've seen this before

But now enough is too much

You don't wanna be set back when the substitution comes

I'm sorry
