Lyrics:  
This morning's so worthy of sleep everlasting this warning, this journey, this pending disaster this morning's so worthy of sleep everlasting dream to fend off mistakes you're still making These are not my eyes they're just my hands please understand I did not intend this man This morning's so worthy of sleep everlasting this groaning, this bleeding, this ending I'm tasked with this morning's so worthy of sleep everlasting dream to see someone there's no way to see I can't see through this smoke the way it's numbed and slowly choked me this interstate did not always look this way we all made mistakes that brought us to today if this industry has gotten the best of me then apologies can't help me sleep this interstate did not always look so strange we all lost things along the way we wish we had with us today if this industry has broken what person in the mirror sees no amends will be quite enough to become who I could be and if I chop these parts off one by one who will I become? if i leave behind all this pain, who will feel ashamed? if i just decide, don't justify what will i leave behind? i wore my heart on my sleeve and gave everything in support of a leader who didn't want to lead owned my mistakes and i was cut free i fought the riptide and it had its way with me smashed on the rocks and left to bleed i let someone choose for me who didn't want to lead now ill have to make my peace (Alternate reality excerpt) ...The Internet did not always work this way we made some big mistakes turning a public good over to advertising they told us themselves way back in '98 when they published Page Rank that ads would ruin this thing then it started printing money a perpetual motion machine...
