Vicious Patterns Lyrics

Is this an appropriate occasion to shed light on this situation?
The numbers in the equation don't seem to fit
And these vicious patterns and black lights
Meet in the midst of all my lonely nights
Spent pacing the concrete in which I've found a home

Because nothing is more honest then
My shadow cast on the ground
And this is nothing more
Than my self-empowering sound
And the candles will burn out
And I'll be cast back here
But before that dying day
I'll float on to East Rockaway

Sure I could sit here and write to you, tell everyone what's really true
I wouldn't waste my time if it would land me a record deal
And if pride is all I seek, why sell out only to to be defeat
If I can, I'll be my only battle to be beat

Because nothing is more honest then
My shadow cast on the ground
And this is nothing more
Than my self-empowering sound
And the candles will burn out
And I'll be cast back here
But before that dying day
I'll float on to East Rockaway

Why sit and talk this through when I could be a part of something new
You've killed the words I used to say why stick around when I could be in LA

Oh the candles they've burnt out
And I was cast back here
The second I looked away
I ended up in LA

Because nothing is more honest then
My shadow cast on the ground
And this is nothing more
Than my self-empowering sound
And the candles will burn out
And I'll be cast back here
But before that dying day
I'll float on to East Rockaway

Get me out of LA
