Lyrics

Nomadic

[Verse 1]

Let's skip all the histrionics

Not again, not another excuse

The epidemic is codependent

Biting off more than your mouth can chew

Don't forget to convalesce your secrets

I don't wanna be a man today

For all you know, I'm the silver in the bullet

I am the trigger that will make you all obey

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm going to make you cry tonight

I'm going to make you hate me

[Chorus]

Inside all my flaws again (I can't let go)

In spite of you, I'm lost again (I still don't know)

Disguises show me

What am I if I am only?

The status quo is not a punishment...

But now it feels like home

[Verse 2]

Your association finds you guilty

Starting with the end of the day

Black and white is such a fascist feeling

Right or wrong, and nothing to say

The last good bipeds cleaning up the fingerprints

Unappreciated medical fiends

Confiscate another classic inbred

Fuck it all, light the acetylene

[Pre-Chorus]

No other choice, I can't explain

Life keeps taking things away

[Chorus]

Inside all my flaws again (I can't let go)

In spite of you, I'm lost again (I still don't know)

Disguises show me

What am I if I am only?

The status quo is not a punishment...

But now it feels like home

[Bridge]

The tough guys who came to kill

But stayed to rape and ravage...

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

The future's here, I'm past my prime

When the evidence came, I committed the crime

Can you stand on your faith with your feet on the Bible?

Who could ask for a better disciple?

What's the point? I'm not sure I can

I'll never dig another grave

I'm afraid of what I'll find

If it hurts, then you're too old

I'll take your shit and give you fucking gold

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm gonna make you cry tonight

I need you to hate me

[Chorus]

Inside all my flaws again (I can't let go)

In spite of you, I'm lost again (I still don't know)

Disguises show me

What am I if I am only?

The status quo is not a punishment...

But now it feels like home

But now it feels like home
