everything is bigger in Texas (maybe i should move there)

I've been sitting here wide awake
thinking of making another mistake
i won't give this town another break
bury the truth or let em drag the lake
bodies of old friends becoming new foes
these zombies walk the city
and the death in them shows
swingin their fists like angry slaves
hooked up clones tryin to escape their chains
droids on the warfields healin the wounds
the fallen soldiers peelin their bruise
dying inside while the mind's on autopilot
and the organs are about to start a riot
the heart attacks the spine in your back
give your ribs room the lungs need slack
die a new death before the morning
if you make it past the burning building
smoke in your eyes clogging your sight
and if things aren't so simple, die tonight
they say they created me but i hate it
this won't be how this city runs itself
the kids that think they know so much
have just lost contact, we lost touch
the taste of a bitter lie
i won't tell you not to cry
baby, this doesn't mean war
it just means i don't like you anymore
