Thoughts are now confined to a time I hardly remember
How could I be so blind?
Should shut them out forever
These relics now enshrined
Behind a promise for good measure
Just past the steepest climb lies the deepest divide
Divide
Minimum token advance slightly better than before
Dared to push tried all the doors and never had a chance
Despite these tiny victories just never think we've won
Think we've won?

Same Old Story

Transmitting, have you tuned in for your nightly hacks?
Nobody is listening, everybody acts
It’s not about what we need, it’s about what we lost or won
Puts you and me on shaky ground, reason’s on the run
Had enough, shit is going down
Shut them off, bury them underground
Makes no sense at all, this is the curtain call
Turn it on another fight
Same old story every night
Psychopath in a suit, he’s your talking head
That fat fuck doesn’t approve of you and this is what he said
Talking points from the top, don’t you dare break
Trust everything you hear, the greatest mistake
Had enough, shit is going down
Shut them off, bury them underground
Makes no sense at all, this is the curtain call
Turn it on another fight
Same old story every night
Had enough, shit is going down
Shut them off, bury them underground
Makes no sense at all, this is the curtain call
Turn it on another fight
Same old story every night
Every nigh ah ha ha height

I read a story that reminded me of you
And all the things you said that were not true
Oh no! What you put us through
Remember when you didn’t shower for weeks?
And you slept in the van out in the heat
Oh no! Pile the hate right on
How about that time you said you had brain cancer, and knew that guy that wasn’t alive?
That one wasl alright because we opened for Pennywise
BRO HYMN!
But really I hope you’re doing fine
I hope that you got some help
Hope that you’ve hit your stride
Hope you got your brain untied
Hope that you got some help
Committing suicide

Live in excess on the backs of the halfwits that they lead
Take their pick, all access to the variety they need
Must’ve happened in a back room, collar keeps it all concealed
Until the victims stop living in fear, and then it’s all revealed
Hypocrite parade
These acts have been allowed, so arrogant right now
Can’t wait to watch them fall
At the time of this report, backers continue their support
Somehow they are still around, covered up and not taken down
Full secrecy, no scandal, was a systematic thought
But it all came crashing down when the truth was sought
Nothing to call it except abuse that started at the top
Swept under a rug and got a pass, like a corrupt cop
Hypocrite parade
These acts have been allowed, so arrogant right now
Can’t wait to watch them fall
Always ask what’s the use, now made worse by abuse
Thought we’d seen enough, intensified by the cover up
Once upon a time, categorized as fine
Don’t you love it when they ask:
“Dear Father, for I have sinned. If I fellate, would you put the good word in?”
Just you wait and see, more will surface it’s a guarantee
Wait for the cover ups
At the time of this report, backers continue their support
One note shred!!!
Hypocrite parade
These acts have been allowed, so arrogant right now
Can’t wait to watch them fall

In Pieces

You said you’ve heard enough
The time you spent’s been a mistake
But I can think of a thousand reasons to participate
Movements might squander some efforts
And sure I can relate
But the rational carry the burden
So I must accelerate
Could be a catalyst, part of the solution
Or stand by motionless
Accept the institution
Broken
It’s what we said it is
Broken
It can’t be fixed
Broken is what we are
Everytime I think there’s motion
Instead we ruminate
Argument, pause, delay
Continues to deflate
Deflate
Puppets in this sick fucking show
Orchestrated by those rich old white men
They’ve got the power and they know
Been left unchecked yet again
They’re trash, they’re fucking worthless
Backed up against the wall
If we don’t rise up they’ll never fall

This world was not designed
Fact and fiction not aligned
Where did you come from and when can you leave?
You fly your rebel flag
You should be bound and gagged
Where did you come from and when can you leave?
When can you leave?
Where did you come from?
How did you get so far behind?
Is your mind that dull?
How have you survived?

Misleading while they’re out there with no home
Playing games with their remains
Look at how much you have blown
Receding, fall down from your throne
The hopes and dreams of who you left behind
Come picking at your bones
It has been this way forever
We know who pulls all the levers
It has been this way forever
This song won’t make a difference
Begging got your hand out wanting more
Every day you wear away
Scrape more from the floor
Will you ever stop feeding more to the top
You ignore, we deplore
Seen this all before
Character lost and found from the grips of the unknown
Use the small minded as stepping stones
Seen this all before, seeming to ignore
The needs of all who you speak for
Who do you speak for?
Constant state of war
Who do you speak for?
Not me

First Day

First day never done this one
So I think that I’ll give it a try
Easier said than done and I’m not one
To just go along for the ride
Guess that I have to stay here
I don’t think I’m better off this way
Started out already headed south
Not going according to plan
Looked up to the sun, said I got this one
Still haven’t seen that one land
Think it’s one of those things
That I know I can’t do
Supposed to learn to fly but I’m not that guy
Sure not cut out for this

Don’t get pissed just because you’re ignorant
You shut down, but you’ll never understand
Irrational, everything I hear from you
Listen once, know it’s hard for you to do
Blame it on traditions or society
No matter where it started, now it has no strength
Think you’re running the whole show
Should be caged up all alone
So this doesn’t carry on
This is a call, you can still turn it around
Think about, from someone else’s point of view
If you insist, kicked, screamed, and dragged along
Years from now, when the dark ages are gone
Blame it on traditions or society
No matter where it started, now it has no strength
Think you’re running the whole show
Should be caged up all alone
So this doesn’t carry on
Can’t drag us down, we’ll make it through
We will progress, with or without you
It’s a give and take, been taking for far too long
You’ve got it wrong
Blame it on traditions or society
No matter where it started, now it has no strength
Think you’re running the whole show
Should be caged up all alone
So this doesn’t carry on

Read this message below
Think it would be best for the CEO
If you could turn in your things
And quietly pack up your shit and go
He needs a new vacation home
And a couple of boats for show
It would look nice on the bottom line
Without you and your friends in tow
Don’t understand why you call it greed
When my friends and I take much more than we need
Corporate powers left unchecked
Until there are no workers left
Hang you out to dry and then wonder why
You think our values are a mess
This might come as a surprise
Been planning your demise
Push you around, kick when you’re down
And gouge out your eyes
Don’t understand why you call it greed
When my friends and I take much more than we need
Saving from collapse
By breaking all your backs
Almighty profit we do believe
Take what we want fuck your needs
