Missing Man

Inside the wire we have no need

For spotlights to show

So long the hours to make believe

That such things are so

For I’m bleeding head to toe

Far-reaching sirens sounding blow

Broken ears will never know

Man, just hand me the bottle

I can’t just feel it

Stand in the aisle when the seats were oversold

We’re just doing as we’re told                 

Phased out the signal to our show

Now we haven’t any place to go

Man, just pull back the throttle

You can’t unsee it

This you can just use as your model

If you wanna be it

Why can’t we just be without?

A missing man is lying in state    

Good mourning people that you made wait      

Man, just hand me the bottle

Think I could just use it now

Lest we all consume the lie

The witnesses are laying in wait

The broken pieces deciding your fate 

A submarine that’s flying in space   

To what do we owe

Our great displeasure

And some people think

It’s our national treasure

In light of the things bar none

We are looking for good measure 

Long list of things that you don’t want nobody to know

Sneak into your one man show

Far-fetching silent fancy trope   

I don’t need any time to grow

Broken in by a predator pro

Subjugated and we’re selling it so

Kinda hazy, Love, it’s time to go

Underrated but I’m ready to blow

You think I will forget it tomorrow

Boy don’t you believe it now

And this you can just use as your model

If you wanna be it

Why can’t we just do without?
