Last November

Every time I get a little closer
All those times I think I feel alive
Every time I deviate from shelter
Another wicked storm arrives.
Last November,
You caught me by surprise
Didn't wanna get caught up in your overly "over me" lies.
Last November
You fluttered through my mind
The afterglow of turning on will have me crucified.
Every time I think I'm feeling lucky
I have to go and trip your wire
Everything I hope to gain eludes me
As you paint yourself to be a liar.
As I'm walking down the old road
To gaze over the peaks of my own fear
A subtle glance what lies on the horizon
The setting sun of my own verve and zeal.

In Our Darkest Hour

I've got an itch growing on my body
And it's expanding to the grey.
I feel my mind expanding
Sometimes it's overwhelming
Is my skull too small for it's height?
You pick the time, I'll pick the day.
We can fall out of time this way.
You raise the gate, I'll play the songs forever more
You contemplate this silent state that I've endured.
I've watched the people fall to money
Turning green before the rest
Societies a bunch of hacks
Without a life, without the means.
I've got a voice inside my head and he tells me
God is dead.
There are no rules to life so think instead.

Across the sands of time
A whisper turns into a scream.
Somewhere a child has lost his mind.
Images of smoke and fright are cast upon the restless
While mothers bury fathers of a never ending fight.
And in our darkest hour after the night has passed
When it seems no one can leave and nobody will last.
I'll kneel by your side, praise you gods and do you fasts.
You and I are all the same when we remove our masks.
Another battle cry
Another beckoning to wrong the right.
Another politician flees
As false peace succumbs to another war that never ended.
Another generation bent to kill the next for peace.

Serenade in E
04:09
|

|
And as the sun comes hurdling 'round
To meet the horizon with a crown
Like the coronation of a queen
Ruling with the scepter of serenity
I hope to wake up one day next to you
And make all your dreams come true
I hope to see a different shade of you
That never shies away from what inspires you.
And when it seems as though the end is ever drifting near,
The Serpent of Time slithers here
And while at the edge of 22
It's so hard to see myself without a piece of you
You are so intoxicating
I would drink you all the time.
To feel your warmth is elevating
Like with my brandy or wine.
As the sun peaks back around
To greet the new day with a crown
Like the coronation of queen
Ruling with the scepter of serenity
I hope to wake up one day next to you
And make all your dreams come true
I hope to see a different shade of you
That never shies away from what inspires you.

Can I Help You?
03:25
|

Satisfaction begs to reason
with id and ego, between the two.
I can't seem to find my place in
this corporate jungle of laws and or truth.
I've been having bright and shiny feelings
of those days I thrived off my youth and
at the birth of day my heart starts beating
the rhythm to your groove.
As I walk this frozen desert
9, 10 blocks till there's no more room
for dreams or thought, i tried to scream but
I open my mouth to say "How can I help you?"
How can I
get away with this two timing scheme
taking money for over priced goods and needs?
What choice do I have
When I need money too...?

No Reception
02:59

Gotta get out of the city
Gotta get where I am free
Don't bother to try and call me,
There's no reception where I'll be.
Gonna run off to the forest
Breathe all the air that I can breathe
Gonna help myself to life where
Nobody is tracking me.
These city calls have got me feeling trapped in shades of blue
Feeling like I'm losing points of view
And as I wander, oh I wonder, why I'm so confused
As I keep walking down the path they know I'll choose.
Gotta get out of the city

Don't bother to try and call me,
There's no reception where I'll be.

Brick By Plastered Brick

Oh! Say, can you see?
For a shadow cast on me.
Ten foot high, got me to try
to bring you back with me.
Brick by plastered brick
Sea to shining sea
It's not America to me.
Oh brothers and sisters
Feel free to get arrested.
In my America we fight supremacy.
I'm not proud to be an American
If the undertones of freedom ring
To sing a song and let bullets fly
That you're not free like me.
Brick by plastered brick
Sea to shining sea
It's not America to me.
Oh brothers and sisters
Feel free to get arrested.
In my America we say "Fuck supremacy."

A Common Sense
02:05

-We've done business with the Pharaohs
long before you made peace with the Old Gods
By rejecting the new.
Beyond the great sea of azure, staggering blue,
Past the clouds of deception is the first truth we knew.
-We were born in the heat and left to wonder
If our children, bare in feet, were ever meant to plunder
The ripe fruit of education
To be a teacher or a doctor,
It is the right that should be given through the laws that we are under.
-Shouldn't work here till the grave just to pay a few semesters,
Makes me never wanna follow in the foot of my ancestors
And I won't do business with the Trumps of this world
Cuz they're molesters of our rights,
Of our freedoms,
We're not assets,
Pools,
Or numbers.
-You can take all of our freedoms, but you'll never be our masters
For the crop you reap and sow has built a nation run by bastards and
You better hope I never leave this cell, for justice will be answered.

Slow down
Tedious and wholesome
Worn out
Everlasting lonesome all at once.
Break down
Hearts were meant to crumble
Stay now
Build me up again.
New words start spreading viral memories
I'm sick and truly am disturbed
My inspiration is infatuating me
Till I can't dream another word.
I don't know where you came from
I don't know where you've been,
But I know where to find you
When the days all end.
All that I have seen here
All that I have done
Is nothing I could compare to
This loneliest passion.

Swan Song
03:47
|

|
I can't keep up this charade,
A pantomime to mask that I'm afraid.
Something in me swells with rage
At the thought that I had been upstaged,
But I still got one more line...
I must have fallen in and out of love with you a thousand times by now.
This variation on the same old theme
Has got me bored and all run down.
I shouldn't have you on my mind.
The spotlight shines on center stage,
People toss white roses, but it feels more like they're
Dropping on my tomb and your eyes say what's engraved.
And I know I'm just a bleeding heart hopeless romantic
But I must dearly depart and take my bow,
But you already walked out...
I've got nothing left to sing about...
