Silence
04:39
|

Look down at the world
As I drift through space
Carbon fueled, dioxide combustion
Greenhouse gasses melt glaciers
I feel safer in the vacuum of silence
Silence
Life wrapped in a blanket
As I float towards the moon
I noticed global combustion
Fossil revolution has come to an end
Silence
(Safer in silence)
Life wrapped in a blanket
Devolved and broken
Safe in silence
Life wrapped in a blanket
Safe in silence
Devolved and broken

Wake
03:27
|

|
Late at night I toss and I turn
Her voice is in my head
Whispering my name
These late night scars are cutting deep
The morning sun will not keep
Her body is a wonderful drug
Driving around brings me relief
These side roads
Memory lane
I feel the taste of her fingers
I realize it’s just a dream
As I drive home
I look at the sea
Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
Then wake me up

Viva Guernica
03:58
|
|||
|
Sounds of planes overhead
All the people scream
Children are missing
The mothers are bleeding
Tasting the echoes
Of a spanish dream
Sons and daughters
Resting at their feet
Frightened horses paw at the ground
This is not their war
“A better life awaits us here”
A lie they’ve heard before
Fireworks in the sky
Bombs pour down like rain
Cover up their eyes
Celebrate the fear
Pablo’s winter is so cold
But his heart is warm
Contorted shapes for violence
Highlight this civil war
Frightened horses paw at the ground
This is not their war
“A better life awaits us here”
A lie they’ve heard before
Viva! Viva! Viva!
Guernica

Charade

|
Let's dance in the evening
Let's move to the rhythm
Body language, Your pulse beats in time
You hold onto me now
Bring me relief
Let's laugh in the morning
Let's dream about what could be
Walk out the door now, jacket in hand
Your eyes say it all now
Bring me relief

Thin Air
02:50
|
|||
|
The air is getting thin
Slowly we are killing off our kin
Asphyxiate, exterminate,
Exasperate and incriminate
To and fro in history
Gather up the men and expel misery
Each day I dream a new dream
Then I wake up and scream
A perfect plan falls into place
Drown out the youth and pick up the pace
They shame us for speaking our words of discontent
Weeping, we sing from our hearts with lament
The governor will be our demise
Taking lives and telling lies
My veins keep on pumping love
While they keep spilling blood

Just a Reminder
06:39
|
|||
|
Drain the bath
Remain calm
Get some rest
Set your alarm
Rise and shine
Fall back in line
Don’t stop until you’re done
This is your reminder
Just a reminder
Just a reminder
Just a reminder
Just a reminder
Give me something to fuck me up
I’ve cracked in half
I’ve broken down
Back to sleep
Awake repeat

Devils
03:49
|
|||
|
Sell all the lies and shun the truth-tellers
Attack morality and arrest the beggars
Sweat pours off his hot head fueling deception
We’re living in chaos and in fiction
All for nothing
Devils meddle
Dreadful scandals
Roll camera, panic and stop the press
Nothing’s gonna happen and no one will confess
All for nothing
Devils meddle
Dreadful scandals
Give us something

Isolated Mess
04:44
|
|||
|
Kill love
Drain life
Load the page and refresh
Kill love
Send Unfriend
Embedded and locked in
Loneliness
Effectiveness
Data age
Look down
Don’t talk
Interact with your device
Drab love
Withdrawn
Abandoned self-esteem
Loneliness
Effectiveness
Data age
Depressed and emptiness
I need a rest from this isolated mess

Break the Mould
04:04
|
|||
|
Dig a hole
A hole that is deep
Does it lead us home?
The clock reads the same
I keep waiting for optimists to lose
Abandon your clones
Forfeit your bones
Break the mould
We can not be sold
Dystopia is alive
It’s failure, failure
We failed our selves
Failed our selves

Fortress of Gold
04:17
|
|||
|
My eyes are wide
Around the dead of night
I’m wary of the outside
Bombs as rain pours down
Benign clouds turn bitter and cold
The sky is dark
I’ll grow some wings
And fly away
Let misery run its course
Let the panic set in
Fatigue begins
Erase all nations
I’ll build a better tomorrow
And empty out the sorrow
On my own
I’ll be alone
Tainted tortured souls
Paint a portrait whole
Replant the seeds to rebuild life
Fortress made of gold
Empty pockets fold
Sew the seems to mend it right
