Their Push/Pull World

I’m not one for violence, but you just wait and see

When everything is the only thing they want from me

I watch them all with my view from up here

I watch them come, and I watch them disappear

They act as if the more times they push the button

The faster the light will change, but it means nothing

You can stand there and push to your hearts content

But pushing can’t pull you closer to your intent


Won’t fight it

Don’t want to

Won’t right it

Don’t have to

Won’t recite it

Shouldn’t have to…


I’m not one for attention, but you, you wait and see

When everything is what you want, and everything isn’t free

I watch them all with my view from here

I watch them come, and I watch them disappear

They anticipate, as if this time they’re going to jump the gun

But in their haste they miscalculate and end up with none

You can be reckless, and push to your hearts content

But pushing can’t pull you closer to your intent


Won’t patch it

Don’t want to

Won’t catch it

Don’t have to

Won’t match it

Shouldn’t have to…


I’m not anyone; I’m just one more breathing the air

When everything is what they want, it’s kind of hard to care

I watch them all with my view from up here

I watch them all, and I watch in fear

They come with questions, and they leave unsatiated

To stand here without answers, I have been fated

And I could stand up, and push to my hearts content

But pushing can’t pull me any closer to my intent


Won’t abide by it

Don’t want to

Won’t be tied to it

Don’t have to

Won’t hide from it

Shouldn’t have to…
