Polymath 03:12
I live in fear of myself. I live in awe of you. My temperament is such that nothing ever gets past me. What’s a polymath to do? I make bones about everything. Can’t rest for nothing, can’t get up until I do. Just when contentment strikes is when the machine starts turning. I live in fear of you. What’s a polymath to do? You blinked, and your eyes got stuck closed. You think you’re the only one who knows. You stuck to the things that drag you down. Good luck ever having someone around. What’s a polymath to do?

Don’t get me high.... I never realized I had my own power to make it rain on a sunny day. Bright light in a burning shower. I’m watching all the love wash away. You thought I was your savior. You thought you knew me well. So you put your arms around me and I dragged you into Hell. I don’t mind that you say you believe in God or Heaven or the Will to Achieve. But what’s the point of making nothing worse when you put all your faith in God because you can’t stand Earth. You didn’t need to have faith in the world, just faith in me. Yeah. Don’t get me high.... I do not want to be someone else’s fantasy. In your head what you see I guarantee will not be me. I am the loudest whisper. I am the silent scream. I am the living illusion in your every waking dream. My breath comes from my dying, my death from being alive. I travel without moving and disappear when I arrive. Don’t get me high.... You didn’t need to have faith in the world, just faith in me. Yeah. Don’t try to name me. Don’t try to claim me. Don’t try to game me. Don’t get me high. Don’t try to name me. Don’t try to claim me. Don’t try to shame me. Don’t get me high. Don’t get me high.... You didn’t need to have faith in the world, just faith in me. Yeah. One day all of this will be a memory.... Don’t get me high....

Mama says yes and I believe her when we talk about the things I say. She hasn’t got the faith or the guts to leave him when they're standing in each other's way. You're tripping back now to places you've been to, you wonder what you're gonna find. You know you've been wrong but it won't be long before you leave 'em all far behind. 'Cause it's the new Mother Nature taking over It's the new splendid lady come to call It's the new Mother Nature taking over She's gettin' us all She's gettin' us all Mama said no, when I came back last time. It's looking like I lost a friend. No use callin' 'cause the sky is fallin' and it’s getting pretty near the end. A smoke-filled room in a corner basement – the situation must be right. A bag of goodies and a bottle of wine – we’re gonna get it on right tonight. 'Cause it's the new Mother Nature taking over It's the new splendid lady come to call It's the new Mother Nature taking over She's gettin' us all She's getting' us all Lonely feeling deep inside Find a corner where I can hide Silent footsteps crowding me Sudden darkness but I can see 'Cause it's the new Mother Nature taking over It's the new splendid lady come to call It's the new Mother Nature taking over She's gettin' us all She's getting' us all No sugar No sugar No sugar tonight No sugar

Mothers hide your daughters. Fathers hide your songs. There’s nothing left for us here but guns guns guns. Fathers hide your daughters. Mothers hide your sons. All we see around us are guns guns guns. Say it! Makes me wanna mic my mouth. Hey! Can you still wait? Can you still believe and leave it up to fate? No way! I can’t sit this out. It’s too much, too far it’s gonna make me mic my mouth. It makes me mic my mouth. All you sons & daughters, how’s it make you feel? The nightmare visions are coming real real real. Fathers & mothers, does it make you cry? Do you wanna shout up to power why why why? Sing it! It makes me mic my mouth. Does it make you wanna mic your mouth? Guns guns guns.

anger turns to hatred - as the nights turn into days people disappoint me in so many different ways close your eyes - drift off to sleep this song i sing is yours to keep think of me, you'll be all right - we'll be together in your dreams tonight tonight love belongs to no one - no one seems to care i'm convinced that i could change your mind if i was there don't be sad, it's not so bad just use your weary mind to add some color to these lives - all black and white in your dreams tonight intensify - feel, the sound, the sight in living color - in your dreams tonight people try so hard - it doesn't mean a thing just think of all the happiness this little one will bring looking through your eyes i see the things you see reaching out to grab a hold of me in your dreams tonight intensify the feel, the sound, the sight - the sight i promise i'll be in your dreams tonight when your whole life feels incomplete then learn this song and sing yourself to sleep this is the voice of you-know-who
