Starry nights city lights
Coming down over me
Skyscrapers, stargazers in my head
Are we we are, are we we are
The waiting unknown
This dirty town was burning down in my dreams
Lost and found, city bound in my dreams

And screaming
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting
And screaming
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting

Forget me nots, second thoughts live in isolation
Heads or tails and fairy tales in my mind
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting unknown
The rage and love, the story of my life
The Jesus of suburbia is a lie

And screaming
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting
And screaming
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting
And screaming
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting

    Dated: Easter Sunday

    The day Jesus rose from the (city of the) dead ... and found new life in St. Jimmy. The day he decided he was sick of doing what he was told because no reward was coming despite being very patient and waiting so very long. "Are we? We are." is an epiphany.

    ...And patience is only a virtue if someone APPRECIATES you waiting. Otherwise, you're an idiot.

    (Most people don't appreciate anything, these days)
