Chaotic butterfly

In the hospital hallway

Where the drone dropped through

An amazing light

Stutter steps

In the Capitol hallway

As the aides stumble out

Into the night

Beltway stream

A steaming scream of madness

As it comes too close

To a traffic jam

As he stumbles across

The street at the light

Mothers holding his hand

And

All hold yourself up

All bring your soul around

All drink from the cup

And all fall down

Castles rise and fall

By the seaside

As omnipotent streams

Babble on with burning lust

And the baffled stand by

While he's making hay

With others lives

And once steeled hearts

Are turning into rust

Turn around

And look at the shore

I saw it

A flame that

Lit the night for

Another day

There are ways to get to

The very core of it

Then watch it all fall out and

Just sail away

And

All hold yourself up

All bring your soul around

All drink from the cup

And all fall down

(Instrumental)

Select your sight

There's a new day dawning

Violent crowd voices

Rising from the shore

You can find a new voice

to make their sound echo down

Or you can find a way to make

Something more

Sometimes when you sleep you

Think the world isn't a dream

Until you see that that's what you

Were dreaming of

And the weathered shape of the

Suffering seems

To be a fight for

The worst

Better meaning of

And

All hold yourself up

All bring your soul around

All drink from the cup

And all fall down

All hold yourself up

All bring your soul around

All drink from the cup

And all fall down

All fall down

All fall down
