Lyrics

Uniforms written by Daniel Lee

Now when they made you write in your journal every day
And said, "Put an X if you don't want me to read it?"
Little did we know this stood for our whole life to come
Well for some what went down was real and fine
But for most what was fine was not too real,
But only a few slip by what they really feel
And honesty has consequence
And difference is a first offense
And sometimes only one strike gets you out
But every game has ways to cheat
And I swear if I ever meet another
Brandished one like me we could win it all
I like to taste what's in my mouth
'Cause the pleasure of what most enjoy
Just gets destroyed by thinking of wanting more
And I don't forget what I detest
'Cause if I let it rest then what I relish
I can noise up my head with

Uniforms will make the most of every mind
It's never time to wager what they would not celebrate
But every dollar has a little change inside
To amplify the solitary notions of a grand

For X every person you truly meet
Is really not that complete without Y you
On the other side making them what they are
But for every single soft pillow of a form
There's a hundred cold steel symbols of the norm
Just waiting to collide and pack the feathers down
Sometimes I like to walk in a Southern town
Where the quiet clouds caress my gaze
And distill my thoughts to vanquish and scatter away
But a big North city can call from the winds
And strike me again and again and again
And I'll still come back for more every time around

And if I don't plug my soul into the world,
My thoughts and feelings programmed for me,
Can I still climb from Gates and Windows, free?
