lyrics

Caleb:
don't run and hide
from what you have inside
there's plenty of time
but I could still change my mind

is this what we have come to?
that's a new color for you
but it clashes with your outlook
can't let it get you down now
not after we have come this far
no turning back when you are
comin' around
comin' around

cry out
got the voice with the rhythm got you crawling in your skin
like a satellite that's tangled up in power lines
when you try to fight 'em back & they tie you to the track
does it give you a heart attack?
like the sailor giving up her right to testify
d-d-d-d-d-demonize
d-d-d-d-d-demon eyes
this ends when

try to unwind
but don't forget you've done crimes
you've been very kind
(at least to certain ones...)
consider why
these things you've tried to demonize
are on your side

let's get our ship together
go out and brave the weather
cut through the water like a knife fish
i saw you yesterday, man
spitting your brains into a cup
i was concerned but you were
comin' around
comin' around
