I take what I want from it, regurgitated on my lips for you. I hope that you sing along, that you go the distance. I’m sure it won’t be long that you see we’re all connected, we’re all infected by this consciousness. Pathetic example of our evolution. Sometimes it makes me fucking sick.
And I don’t know what to believe, your gender roles are so deceiving. Allowances made for the weak, blind, dumb at heart. The media shows you how to play, your problems blunt but not explained. You’re quick to kill but not ask a question. Well here’s one: Why do we breed?
Because we like to fuck!
You’re the reason I believe in abortion.
You’re the reason I sometimes hope the human race dies off.
It’s so deceiving, this monetary climb that you sold, bought back and stole, prescribed and doctored every line.
Life adorned decorative pieces flushed down the drain……..
Like Betta fish for center pieces on your wedding day, maybe in time us, too, will be flushed away.

Out To Sea

Out to Sea. Hope I see you soon. Out of time and out of mind and too many things to do.
I finally lost my way. I know I usually steer the ship but now I need you all to say.
“We won’t go without a fight. We won’t go quietly into the dark night. You’ll hear us all the way downtown. You're not alone here in bridge town.”
I know I'm not alone. I guess I just miss hanging out in the middle of the road with the future so far away. Now I’m struggling to fill out my 401k.
And I don’t want to see an end but I know it will happen one day my friend.
I just hope I’m unaware, and am absorbed by the moment.
Out to sea

One By One

Another bully with a badge. He had to be real tough to get by his old man. I never liked him back in high school so why should I be sad he’s dead?
Heard he was looking for the dough. The army promised him fifty thousand to go. Too young to know much about life, to know you reap what you sow when you're a for-hire mercenary.
No one seems to understand. You only get out of life what you put in it. And to the bullies with the army fatigues and guns, “You signed up for this?” as you die one by one.
One by one!
Watch ‘em all die one by one.
One by one!
Watch ‘em all die one by one.
A dead bully with a badge. I must admit I don’t feel so sad. I believe you get what you choose to some degree without certainty.
One by one!
Watch ‘em all die one by one.
One by one!
Watch us all die one by one.

The Pass

Waiting for your approval.
Waiting on your word.
But while I’m waiting I’ll take a pass cuz that’s absurd how long you kept me waiting.
Another lecture.
Is this another test?
Latest certification to prove to them all that you're the best.
What a fucking mess.
I don’t want to be measured anymore.
I don’t want to be tested anymore.
Been waiting in line my whole life just to have a piece of pie my relatives were once promised.
There’s so many of us now…………
Stuck in a maze, you gotta pay to just get out.
There’s so many of us now…………
Waiting in line to line their pockets.
There’s so many of us now……….
If there’s so many of us now why don’t we take control?
Don’t pay their way. Save your money and drown them out. Don’t lay awake haunted by their past mistakes.
Slavery’s new face. I hope you got some cash in hand.

Comming Down

Feel like I got it all at barely 24 but it seems that the high is wearing out. Poorer than poor but rich in love surrounded by the music and the humans that I love. Paying for a dream on a minimum wage salary. It’s hard to sometimes not feel like the fool.
But after all the lies we’ve been told, hopeless pursuits left in abandon where religion once took hold. In a world run by greedy psychopaths prescribing dogma to the discontent. I remember why I choose not to live in that world.
How long will it take as a human race to overcome our own consciousness and really look each other in the fucking face?
So when I’m coming down from the highest of good times your fake problems still consume your mind.
So while I'm coming down from the highest of good times your fake problems become real problems when people die.
