Burning Questions

from Alone With Each Other by Jason York

/

lyrics

Thinking of truth and times that I've lied
Mostly to self but maybe, don't know
Reach into heart and make a good noise
Move into Self and make it sound bigger, better

Wouldn't you like to know what you're like
To all those who don't have to be you?
Wouldn't you like a cookie or Sprite?
Some kind of gift for all you've done
Coming to ya

Make your shirt into a basket
(Maybe if I scream loud I'll explode)
Stockpile every tender morsel

Sometimes you've gotta sit
And inquire seriously
Ask yourself those burning questions
Everyone's too scared to say:

What is it like as a broom or a mop?
What have you learned how to cook in your life?
What if you weren't such a dumb piece of shit?
What if I died and the world turned out better, better?

Make your bed into a casket
(Maybe if I scream loud I'll explode)
Worms think you're a tender morsel

They're all feeding now
They're all feeding now

We're gonna drop this down
'Cause on a somewhat serious note
We've got a lot to change
And little time to do it in

I've spent a pretty huge chunk of my life
Listening to protest songs
Meanwhile, I've been punching a clock
A good cog, a citizen

I guess the fear of not providing for my family
Was a hidden shame I never wanted to feel
So I worked today and I'll do it tomorrow
And at night I'll write songs about change

I will not participate in your system of hate
I will wait until the time is right

But inaction breeds the pain
You and I have claimed to loathe

Will we ever make the move ourselves?
Yeah
