Days of pain that leave your body shaking Make you want to tear a hole right through the door Life will peak when rhythms speak Steady courses end in better days And you'll feel the loa coursing through your blood See the changeling Shifting and shaping Always there putting on a show The hallowed sound From roots deep in the ground No hurricanes or floods can keep it down Face to face with troops of doppelgängers Never really knowing just exactly who to trust Speek your mind, but mind your speech When ladders give, you'll lose your teeth And it's a long way to the bottom rung You can fake it You might even make it But the damage that was done ain't gone It's so laissez-faire just let it be You couldn't understand it if you're not from here The vestiges claimed before we came Back shame upon your pitiful pride Can't you look in my eyes? You fucking goddamn joke Go take another toke, a line, a bump Your broken record skipped We just flipped the script We'll take it back Day to day it's keep up with the joneses And from the looks of things, I see you jones for more Keep denying things of common knowledge The spotlight shines on you forevermore You can shake me You might even break me But you'll never keep me on the floor The hallowed sound From roots deep in the ground No hurricanes or floods can keep it down You can't shake me You can't break me You goddamn joke...
