Have we reached the end?
And is there still a chance to shift the course before we fry?
Full speed ahead
Cinder block is on the gas, say some goodbyes
Shame or sorrow?
Is there tomorrow?
Fact or fiction, is that a choice?
Do we burn it all down?
Or find our voice
Do we have a voice?
Must we breathe the air
Same as the blackened hearted, rapacious fools?
In the middle of the flames
This is not a fucking game
This future
Ghastly and so weak
Shame or sorrow?
Is there tomorrow?
Fact or fiction, is that a choice?
Do we burn it all down?
Or find our voice
Do we have a voice?
I’ll talk till I turn blue, fill these lungs with toxic air
Now speaking honestly, past the point of repair

Windows shut, locked and sealed
Til there’s been time to heal
Oh, since she went dark
Been a week I know
Had a better place to go
But that seems obvious now
Walk into an empty room
Memories exhumed
This left a hell of a mark
But I’m better off I know
Got a better place to go
So fucking obvious now
It’s torture to just sit here waiting
This feeling is still not fading
Can’t sleep, can’t eat, can’t breathe
Create new scars between
What’s left of me
Call the doctor, call the hearse
Call anyone with a steady hand
Cut me open, lift my guts out and I’ll bleed
It’s torture to just sit here waiting
This feeling is still not fading
Can’t sleep, can’t eat, can’t breathe
Create new scars between
What’s left of me

Stay Forgotten, Man
02:25

There’s been some bloodshed - all from a scrape
Spelled it all out, do not resuscitate
Worshiping despots, recite countless lies
Seek to extend before the demise
So the sorcerer presides over the game
And then watches it go up in flames
The patrons gather to pay up the freight
While the peasants are left to self immolate
United disgrace
Calls for protest and reproach
At all these cultured folks out on the coasts
Just pick up the pieces while there is still time
Try to reverse this shifting paradigm
All this progress - must erase
And get these people back into their place
Rebrand and redefine
Hit pause then rewind
Yeah it’s just a matter of pride
United disgrace
Miraculous rebound, after massacre and melting down
A neutralized and counterbalanced force to prop up a waning democracy
When it’s all said and done
Come together as one and we’ll all be holding hands
Forgive, forget
Yeah fucking right
United disgrace
You can keep it

Chemical Distractions

It was the worst of times
Must be a way to flip it upside down
And all these chemical distractions
Have to help to turn it all around
Turn around
Give me something to grasp onto
Bulletproof
Gotta get it all in tonight
That’s right cause we’re never gonna die
Whoa hey oh
Never gonna come back down
Can’t agonize
So this night can never ever end
Gotta watch the sunrise
Let the side effects subside
At least try
Get me something to grasp onto
Bulletproof
Gotta get it all in tonight
That’s right cause we’re never gonna die
Whoa hey oh
Never gonna come back down

Send Help
02:23

Dearest unknown friend
Could use an intervention
This is quite the mess
Would be sick if you could
Come and sort this out
Send help - desperate
Send help - whatever you’ve got
Reinforcements convince to comply
Or drop some shock and awe down from the sky
Or maybe lie in wait
Just when we think you’re gone, strike without warning
Send help - desperate
Send help - whatever you’ve got
Now that it’s over, in full disclosure:
This was a scheme, one way to end
