Puzzle Pieces - Framing Hanley

Medicated to the point of apathy

Each day another little pill to swallow

Dosing those composing hopes, they tear at the seams

And embrace it, a sickness bought

Building these addictions for the sake of a dollar

Devil’s got his hands in all our pockets

Close to broke, alone exposing beyond our means

Till we’re vacant from the lie we bought

I won’t be one of your puzzle pieces

Forced into fitting

Pardon me but there’s a part of me

That feels something’s missing

Are we living or are we just dying

It’s time we wage a war really worth fighting

I don’t wanna be another puzzle piece

I don’t wanna be part of your puzzle

Glorifying monsters, it sells on TV

If it bleeds, it reads in papers out tomorrow

We say we’ll pray for change one day but afraid what it means

Face it, we’ll take it, no lessons learned

Talking heads addicted to the sound of their voice

The devil’s got us all in his pocket

Mistakes we made and this game we played now change everything

Well we fake it, no lesson learned

I won’t be one of your puzzle pieces

Forced into fitting

Pardon me but there’s a part of me

That feels something’s missing

Are we living or are we just dying

It’s time we wage a war really worth fighting

I don’t wanna be another puzzle piece

I don’t wanna be part of your puzzle

No-oh, no-oh, we’re gonna find a way

Oh-oh, oh-oh, to overcome

Oh-oh, oh-oh, we’re gonna find a way

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I won’t be one of your puzzle pieces

Forced into fitting

Pardon me but there’s a part of me

That feels something’s missing

Are we living or are we just dying

It’s time we wage a war really worth fighting

I don’t wanna be another puzzle piece

I don’t wanna be part of your puzzle

We’re gonna find some way

To overcome

Together we’ll find the way
