Lay Down the Law

This song is not about you
 It's not about me
 It's about the blood on the blade
 Stabbed into the back of somebody
 Somebody is someone who is stable
 But still remains unable to really be himself
 Cuz if he were here then she'd still be with somebody
 And not someone else
 ...Someone else.
 This song is not about me
 And the battles that I have won
 It's about the warped kitchen floor from the water left on the run
 And the pile of dirty dishes that are never done
 And the ashes in the sink floating in the water
 somebody doesn't wanna have to
 but somebody oughta,
 Lay down the law
 Don't change your style
 Lead on to leave
 Baby, come on back for awhile
 Lay down the law
 Don't change your style
 Lead on to leave
 Baby, come on back for awhile
 This song is a survey of scenes
 Somebody sees masked with melodies
 When there's no way to let go
 No way to forget that there's no where to grow
 Just the room to regret which she holds him back
 Confined to his space but she holds somebody in the first place
 Lay down the law
 Don't change your style
 Lead on to leave
 Baby, come on back for awhile
 Lay down the law
 Don't change your style
 Lead on to leave
 Baby, come on back for awhile
 For awhile...
 Somebody is stranded light years from home
 On a planet where people are not like his own
 Where they pay to be brainwashed, told what to see
 And not many dare question authority
 Where a sick television is coughing up blood
 And it stains every life and it's starting to flood,
 fills the holes in our brains as it pours from the screens,
 and it stains the newspapers and magazines
 The newspapers and the magazines
 Lay down the law
 Don't change your style
 Lead on to leave
 Baby, come on back for awhile
 Lay down the law
 Don't change your style
 Lead on to leave
 Baby, come on back for awhile
 Lay down the law
 Lay down the law
 Don't change your style
 Do not change
 Lay down the law
 Lay down the law
 Lay down the law
