lyrics

What an oversight, I was overlooked
I never did anything by the book
Except for the book, it had me shook
My sanity snatched, invisible crooks

Now madness was setting in quickly
And had “yes” been the answer receiving
Then perhaps, my family’d be living
But step back, it’s only beginning

And back to the root of the issue at hand
My mind wandered off and I lost command
There’s ghosts in the air and I can’t withstand
Brace for impact, countdown to crash land

Now tell me how it was before
How I’m not alone, rest-assured
That a pattern will begin to emerge
For obsession, there isn’t a cure

I know that everybody else wanted to go and
I know that everybody else wanted to go home

What an undersight, it disappeared
In front of my nose, I had worked for years
But a wrench in a cog stopped my gears
Consumed by the thought of invisible peers

Now power was mine for the taking
And no doubt there’d be some mistaking
The one who was doing the breaking
For madmen, there’d be no escaping

As fast as the madness took over my brain
I fought for my love and I tried to maintain
A sense of humanity through all the pain
It’s too late for me, my mind is insane

Now tell me how it was before
How I’m not alone, rest-assured
That a pattern will begin to emerge
For obsession, there isn’t a cure

We’re Freaks for Geeks. We’re from Chicago. Like the monsters of ancient Greece, we have two heads. One that plays alternative rock, and another that dabbles in hip-hop. Pop culture has infiltrated our music and we wouldn't want it any other way.
