Friction

Do you ever help the helpless?

Do you give them any time?

Do you ever bully your conscience

And detach from your mind?

Well, do you ever need the needy?

Do they ever tug on your heart?

Or do you determine the person in question is

Simply worlds apart?

Do you ever wish to the wishful?

Do you ever get what you need?

Do you detach from necessity

And apply the act of greed?

Well, do you ever dream with the dreamers?

Do you ever weaken the weak?

Do you overuse the technique

Of not thinking before you speak?

I see it's going forwards but I feel it flowing backwards

Any time I'm shown injustice, how can you not want to be here?

And I'm trying to exist in a momentary shift

And I'm trying to exist in a momentary shift

It's only friction

It's only friction

Well, it's only friction

It's only friction

And do you ever worry the worried?

Do you ever want to be heard?

Or do you motivate the motion

Of achieving what you don't deserve?

And do you consume the consumer?

Do you listen to the song?

Do you understand the difference between

What is right and what is wrong?

I see it's going forwards but I feel it flowing backwards

Any time I'm shown injustice, how can you not want to be here?

And I'm trying to exist in a momentary shift

And I'm trying to exist in a momentary shift

It's only friction

It's only friction

Well, it's only friction

It's only friction

Do you really ever get what you want?

Do you really ever get what you need?

Do you really ever get what you want?
