Lyrics

What good is a syllable?
I wish this disease was killable
nothing you say can change the way the hole remains unfillable
the burden unshakable
the breakable soul is up there without a net
are we having fun yet?
we're looking for the cure
the pure state of mind
but who has the time?
who has the time?

Gone are the days of the hero
there's nothing left but the one and the zero
which one are you?
you decide alone,
the dial tone your only guide since the decide of Neitzche and Freud
left us with the void
aw thank you, big fellas
it was a hell of a thing to do.

Believe me - I would not lie today
I've heard words too small to say
They fall like rain and they touch like hands
And the secret
The secret is not minding what you don't understand

gone are the days of the priest 
and the shaman can you get an amen?
the answer is no but oh - a bottle of pills
for twenty five bucks a week
and all that you seek
and all that is hunting you down
recedes to the sound of a dull roar
but you're up off the floor
and not so unsteady
ready? swallow the first one

maybe we're only as sick as our secrets
and maybe our secrets are all that we own
maybe you pump air into the belljar 
but in the end you'll be in there alone
maybe salvation falls from the sky
maybe there's no salvation up there
but there's a secret
wouldn't we like to share?

Believe me - I would not lie today
I've heard words that are too small to say
They fall like the rain and touch like hands
the secrets not minding
what you don't understand

I got a secret I should tell
I'm going up to Heaven in a split pea shell.
