The division is starting to feel permanent
As the rise and final fall of the government
Bitterness as sustenance
We carry on so we reach for the familiar disguise
Our failure speak of conditions for the division
So let's climb back to the beginning
Suggestive glance and smoke and laughter
At the meeting
Our minds content with limited exchange of information

you chose to surrender the best thing that's happened to you
what were you missing?
were you just tripping?
running away from your fear was the best you could do
you made this decision
you chose our division

ooh, ooh, ooh
and i have no regrets
i wish you the very best
in all that you do

congratulations
now you are free
you have earned your degree
yeah, you've graduated
this is your last separation from me
there'll be no more tryin' again
no more comin' back
no more forgivin' you
no more thinking that somehow the sum will be different
by using division

half of your friends would attend before they ever knew
why they are going
to this party im throwing
they would be thinking that i would be pleading to you
to get back together
well how about never?

ooh, ooh, ooh

you're gonna miss me bad
so funny i had to laugh
you did this to you
yea you did

congratulations
now you are free
you have earned your degree
yeah, you've graduated
this is your last separation from me
there'll be no more tryin' again
no more comin' back
no more forgivin' you
no more thinking that somehow the sum will be different
by using division

congratulations
you graduated
you've finally earned your degree
in your last separation from me
congratulations
you've graduated
to being alone by yourself
let me throw you a party, farewell
farewell
farewell
farewell
farewell, well, well, well
congratulations
yeah, yeah, yeah

I look for questions to my answers
I scan for faces in the crowd
I search for wisdom in a madhouse
I seek freedom for an imprisoned mind

all I wanted in my life
is now slipping through my fingers
standing on the shore
I feel the water closing in
it seems my sanity is fading
to a point of no return
I have come to realize
the one I fear is me

I want shelter in open field
I look for shadow in the sunlight
I dig for water in my desert
I search for stars in clouded skies
