Analysis of Sellar's Market
Its a broken and static replay
Frozen years steal a rotting display
A bottled repeating chosen disarray
Ripped out retreating abandoned seams
Shudders the searing tumultuous dreams
Let it go give it up we are through
We couldn't save, but we've got plans too
All that they'll demand in continuous flow
When your sitting still in the end
Your only wishing you could still pretend
Just a boy with dreams to dispense
And a girls overflowing penance
We'll become another defense
Just a fight lost, tossed to pretense
And it's half right but we're half wrong
So I'll get on but not till it's all passed
An arsenal of things that will never last
But I'm breathing and their always leaving
Till the next big show from a speechless face once again thieving
When your sitting still in the end
Your only wishing you could still pretend
Just a boy with dreams to dispense
And a girls overflowing penance
Stepping forward to shelter her tears
Argue his war, enable her fears
But we're half right and it's half wrong
It's a vacant and warped swinging door
Sellar's bullshit spilled onto the floor
Their gonna eat it and misrepeat it
Misconstrued dreams from silent lips excreted
When your sitting still in the end
Wishing you could still pretend
That your a boy with big dreams to dispense
And just a girl with a neverending penance
