They the people
Flamboyant and supreme
Keeping the saints clean
And the poor out of democracy
Talking small steps looking both ways
In a resort talking about charity
They mean good
They feel safe
They are strong
They smell good but don’t really do much
They are us
We are they
And we’ll all prevent
The rise of the innocent
Every time we crush the weaker
They come back
Every soul we chain for power
Cannot die
Raise a poor soul
to live in misery
And yet protect his place deep into slavery
We don’t know
And we sure can’t know
How to behave
In times of disaster
Every time we crush the weaker
They come back
Every soul we chain for power
Cannot die
Man shall rise
And soon
will strive to go under
Silence and contemplation
In a world designed for me
I will always give you everything
If none of it is taken from me
Man shall rise
And soon
will strive to go under

The Future Ends With You
03:58
|
|||
When I’m
In a freak show
You are always there to speak
I insist you should be heard
A lot less and feel sorry
Given less attention
Be aware that there is more
More than struggling to be
Noticed by anyone
I’ve seen it
I heard it all
In everything you are
You suck so bad
The future ends with you
I can’t stand it when you talk
When you’re writing
When it’s wrong there always you
Client as an art form
And complainer as a trend
An elite customer
That I can’t respect
Given less attention
Given way more time to think
Time in isolation
Is an opportunity
We seek to hold on to someone
And to have something to keep
We crave our share in matters
A place in the sun
I’ve seen it
I heard it all
In everything you are
You suck so bad
The future ends with you
I can’t stand it when you talk
When you’re writing
When it’s wrong there always you
I see factions
Ready to raid the streets
Crowds in motion
Reeking of desperation
They want to eat more
Or feel safer
It’s not about you
You just move out of the way
I’ve seen it
I heard it all
In everything you are
You suck so bad
The future ends with you
I can’t stand it when you talk
When you’re writing
When it’s wrong there always you

Five Orange Seeds

In time came a letter
No words just five seeds
In time came a letter
No words just five seeds
The everything changed
Revenge is set in motion
What has been done has a price
We cannot erase
The mistakes of our past
Saints, sinners
Now is the time to
Repent for you actions
What has been done has a price
A final letter
No words just five seeds
Like father before me
I’ll pay for his sins

It Could Be Over Soon
05:07
|
|||
We were made to follow
Then lead to quit
Then feel nothing
Nothing more
The course is changing
Cause it could be over soon
While I seek redemption
Or words to speak
Words to tell the others
I hope to leave
I want
To try something new
Something
Far on the horizon
And seek some truth
Then feel nothing
Nothing more
My course is changing
I’m leaving
I can’t stand
To be alright
I need more
And with more
Fear strikes
And all is taken from me
Then I feel nothing
Nothing more
Light is changing
I’m leaving

Losing Is The First Step
03:14
|
|||
Gone is your dignity
And gone is your pride
You can freely start over
And look for a match
It doesn’t leave much
to our collective soul
but an awkward smell
And a terrible sense a fashion
Losing is the first step
To true emancipation
We try too hard to be too much
Like the worst of the nation
We are small, unappealing
underreaching and destroyed
But we’re getting better at the art
Of retaliation
The past was better
we were in control
Their light shines brighter
It’d be easy to end it all
Get there
Get there and look better
Be there
And care for each other
Stay there
Stay there and feel safer and away
Losing is the first step
To true emancipation
We try too hard to be too much
Like the worst of the nation
We are small, unappealing
underreaching and destroyed
But we’re getting better at the art
Of retaliation

The Sun
04:05
|
|||
I have been searching for a while
cause I have
The greatest star
And now it’s time for him to really shine
Bright and towards you
Be prepared
Be rejoiced
Bring on cash
Get a sense of wonder
I’m the greatest man alive
Gather round
For
He is the sun
Captured
Raptured
In a cage just for your eyes
So make sure you
Can afford to gaze
Now he’s been with me for a while
Today I see
Many of you waiting
Wanting him to be set free
To the wild
To shine for everyone
And I cannot abide
For I have expenses you see
Be outraged
Be a crowd
Be around
But he’s staying with me
He is sun
Captured
Raptured
In a cage just for your eyes
So make sure you
Can afford a gaze
So one day
Summer
shall return
To bring back
Broad daylight
Shining over
Fields and oceans
And no more
Life shadows
Free at last
Now he’s been sitting here a while
And you’re gone
To save another
More enslaved
More alone
Less sublime
And more picture friendly
Be aware
Be supreme
Be divine
We feel we care for them
But we all ignore their pain

Caravaggio
06:08
|

When the time comes
I’ll be ready to go
Hearing subtle noises
feel the tide from the shore
The fear is strong
But has no meaning
I’m living like a ghost
It’s harder to feel
Part of something bigger
Is there comfort within
We do not need each other
With our shared complaints
We do feel closer
But stay the same
I have always been
And will always remain
Too weak by myself
And helpless among others
With the water rising
I hope we will be
Chained to each other
When it’s harder to breathe
Things will
Never change
Stay sad and feel betrayed
Like no one hears your prayers

When the time comes
I’ll be ready to go
Hearing subtle noises
feel the tide from the shore
The fear is strong
But has no meaning
I’m living like a ghost

We do not need each other
With our shared complaints
We do feel closer
But stay the same
I have always been
And will always remain
Too weak by myself
And helpless among others
With the water rising
I hope we will be
Chained to each other
When it’s harder to breathe
Things will
Never change
Stay sad and feel betrayed
Like no one hears your prayers
