An Awful Way to Cope

Wake up. Eyes front. How long til we repent this. So lost. Vacant. Step back for your replacement. It's started a vicious cycle. Reclaim the dead around you. So long to fake disciples. Stand up and face your blindfold.
I cant' stop spinning around my heads become a pendulum. This back and forth is breaking my equilibrium. Face your God.
A toast to those we've lost. We missed the boat once more. How dare we get upset. How dare we talk about it. Such words should never be allowed. Some thoughts should remain silent.
I cant' stop spinning around my heads become a pendulum. This back and forth is breaking my equilibrium. Face your God.

Save Yours

Hey lady, what you runnin' from?
Where you goin' to? How 'bout stopping by me?
Hold fast, slow down. How 'bout coming over here for a minute?
I know you’re allowed to walk around like you're nobody's business.
But I won't let you get over, I'm taking it slower. And praying for change.
Savior. Messiah. Savior. Can anyone truly say?
Savior. Messiah. Savior. Where are your standards at now?
You're so sure, got your proven facts.
Man who told you that? You're so lost son.
Stay put, sit down. Be careful not to burst your bubble now.
Your misguided mindset is private to you and to your own kin.
They won't think, they won't drink. They won't say a word till you tell them.
Savior. Messiah. Savior. Can anyone truly say?
Savior. Messiah. Savior. Where are your standards at now?
Savior. Messiah. Savior. Can anyone truly say?
Savior. Messiah. Savior. We're more lost.
And how can we repeat the same mistakes again?
We'll trade our faith for just a piece of reality.

Their skin; As black as space. Their eyes; Vast pools of nothing.
The fate of the human race, lies in the course they've chosen.
The edge of eternity, crumbles beneath our footsteps.
Fall back like gravity, fall hard and start to worship.
No lights, no flame. No calling names.
The creatures, advance.
There's no reasoning with the beasts, for the beasts know no reason.
Violence flows through the veins of galactic pariahs. No.
Can we escape their hold? Can we eradicate them?
Can we escape from hell? From this, living nightmare?
Can we escape their hold? Can we eradicate them?
Creatures not from this world. Life forms of advanced species.
They hover 'round, make not a sound.
Don't let them know you're breathing.
No sacred ground, no place for silent refuge.
Our planet earth is lost.
Can we escape their hold? Can we eradicate them?
Can we escape from hell? From this, living nightmare?
Can we escape their hold? Can we eradicate them?
Creatures not from this world. Life forms of advanced species.
Oh no, what will we do? This is the end of our doomed race.
It's already too late. Out of time, out of breath.
Running out of life and light. Post human, post us.
Fade us away from this, we no longer exist.

Trash and Burn
03:10
|

|
Suddenly I feel as though love has turned erratic. It’s an outdated sense of despair.
Like an old woman begging for reprieve into the comforts of her rocking chair.
We’ll find a way to put the pieces back to something wholesome.
Or we’ll die lying down.
It’s a game of chance, it’s a shape of things to come.
Like cigarette smoke, it’s burning deep into our lungs.
Oh how we focused our obscenities on the ones we feared the most.
Here’s hoping they don’t hear a sound.
Shortened words to the tune of a broken record, we’ve heard it all before.
It’s the replayed banter of the bitch you wish you scorned.
At best she’ll feast upon the flesh of the broken-hearted.
Like wolves descended on the child left behind.
Now scrape it away, let her tear it all down.
Forget those years and you’ll never miss your crown.
For those who were fortunate enough to be left with their own two feet.
Here’s hoping she let you retreat.
Burn.
Four score and seven beers ago, I once thought it all well.
But hindsight is for the blind and overwhelmed.
Oh how we focused our obscenities on the ones we feared the most.
Here’s hoping they understood every word.
Burn.

HerStory in the Making
03:24

Her story starts just the same. A vacant lot of nothing next to uncertainty. At home she writes on the page. A sad attempt to fill the void in her life.
But it won't work. Nothing can push the madness back into her heart. It's over
And life goes on just the same. No one to notice things are getting worse. And though she pushed them all away, a piece of her is left feeling their hurt.
And so it goes. Nothing can push the madness back into her heart. It's over
You're so broken, alone, frozen.

Off the Reservation

We've taken over the world,
Eradicated stability,
We've gone and thinned out the herd,
Made room for stark disability.
Lay the waste,
Everything you thought was good.
We are now the elite,
Awaiting our destiny,
Fashioned a form of existence,
Make way for our new race.
Lay to waste,
Everything you thought was good.
This world has a way of destroying itself.
Close your eyes,
All the good you've seen is gone.
Don't hide from this revolution,
Don't look for a new hope,
There is no restitution,
We're coming to take you away.
It's over now,
It's over now,
It's over now,
(It's over once we've begun, been running for far too long)
It's over now,
(No direction away from home, we're lost and all alone)
