Dance Gavin Dance – Pounce Bounce Lyrics 12 years ago
After watching multiple live versions of the song on youtube, here is what makes most sense for Jonny's chorus:

I'm all run down
I need more in my veins
So let's open fire
The whispers start to drill
The pain of second place

Dance Gavin Dance – Strawberry Swisher Pt 3 Lyrics 12 years ago
It feels to me that this song is a commentary on anyone who attempts to sell you a clear pathway to success. Jon's "got a big ass book, not a crook, take your guilt in the form of dollars" line could be about going into debt. Tilian's parts speak about being pre-programmed to think there is a guideline we are expected to follow to reach success.

Who knows? It could apply to the current state of education, pyramid schemes, or anything else of the sort. Hard to say with this song because while it is very open to interpretation, it's clear there was a message intended to be part of it.
