A Lovely Dream
03:41

Your eyes are opening
Despite your programming
Arise and walk with me
Cause everything you know has been a dream
A lovely dream
Designed to fall apart
We’re off on another false start
It comes to rip us all apart
And if you get too close you’ll see the truth
And there is no going back
Once you see it you’ll never unsee it
Once you feel it you’ll never unfeel it
Once you believe it you’ll always believe it
But the truth will never set you free
If you want it
Take it before it’s gone
If you have it share it with someone
We can’t let them take it all away
We have been letting them get away for too long
Far too long

I hope you’ve figured out an exit strategy
You’re gonna hang for your complicity
The winds of change are blowing down your fortresses
You thought it simple but there’s so much more to this
We have the numbers and the desperation
You are the makers of this fucked up situation
You have so much now
And we have so little
The line of morality has become so brittle
We are drowning in your atrocities
Drawing breath from our own animosity
Coming through the windows
Coming through the doors
Taking it all back
Taking a little more
Remember trust was broken
Some things you can’t ignore
Remember what was taken
Something worth fighting for
Something worth dying for
We’re climbing over your wall
To watch your empire fall

They Live We Sleep

Complications have been revealed
The engine is hungry and it needs to be fed
So tell management to apply pressure pressure pressure pressure pleasure
To meet you take a number see you never
believe in what they gonna try to sell ya
Stay calm and let the television tell us
That we are happy and a little over zealous
They live we sleep
Communication is deteriorating
Trusted sources are becoming rare
Information is corrupted by so many
Yet people shovel it in shovel it in
Shovel it in
Imagination is a form of disease
Rusted cages not much sleeping there
So tell management that this ain’t working working working aging dying
To be anywhere but here beside you
Is wasted time and time seems moving faster
We’re drawing nearer to a fucking disaster
We’re drawing nearer to the end
Data is power and we give it away
Everyday everyday everyday

The Betrayed
02:54
|
|||
|
You hide behind the curtain
Building equity and prison cells
You have weaponized our mistrust
In each other and ourselves
You manipulate the story
Pulling strings and pushing lies
You have compromised the future
Rotten meat left to the flies
We are all of us betrayed
The debt can never be repaid
They killed the forests and the seas
They cultured anger and disease
We are all of us betrayed

Corrosive Influence
03:42
|
|||
|
Boardrooms full of bored people callously making decisions with real consequences they’ll never themselves understand
Lines long crossed
Don’t let the lies become truths
Don’t let the cruelty consume you
Don’t let the enemies of compassion set the standard
Picture a better world for all of us

Interloper
03:12
|
|||
|
Unseen I am a part of everything
Unheard among the crowd I’m circling
Blind to your impending suffering
I think you all deserve the pain I bring
I am the interloper
Complacency is what has brought you here
A lack of empathy replaced with fear
Now your wealth and greed should make it clear
While you sit back and just fucking watch it disappear
I am the interloper

Departure
05:42

Now that you’re leaving
You find out you need me
To beat on and break me
To cut up and bleed me
Dry
Now that you’re grieving
Your leaders deceiving
You allowed this, stop blaming
The reaper for reaping
What’s owed
We are not so different
The system divides us in spite of ourselves
In the end we will rise up or crumble to dust
In the end we will wake up all covered in rust
In no one we can trust
In no one we can trust
The game was rigged and we lost
Now we must rise up no matter the cost

The Burden of Being
04:41
|
|||
|
The tide is rushing in
To wash away the stains
Under a starless sky
The oceans swallow our remains
This mess that we’ve all made
Will slowly fade away
With no one left to witness
The silence and decay
The acid rains corrode, collide
The weak, the poor, the great divide
The happy pills, the suicides
The tasting of the pesticides
The sweat, the tears of broken men
The selling of the children
The promises, the if, the when
The wealth, the greed, the influence
The ones with most are worth the least
The blood on all the palms they greased
The senselessness has finally ceased
The end of life at last there’s peace

Afterlife
03:49
|
|||
|
I’ll see you in the afterlife
If such a thing exists
It’s probably been monetized
Another safe haven for the rich
But if we’re not welcome there
I will find you wherever you are
Cause you’re the only thing that gave it meaning
And you’re the only thing that’s kept me going
This far...
