Hello there my dear friend,
Have you been plagued the same as I?
Never want to learn that life was time we’ve wasted cast aside.
Set sail, the rapid tide!
Never know just how we’ll try to find
On the mountains that we climb
So here then gone before our eyes!
Another atom bomb! A truth that goes to show,
Where could we have gone wrong? Is this not what we’re due!?
When our worlds collide, creating life from mind,
There’s nothing else quite like the change when everything’s in sight.
You know we need it most when no one else will even try,
Will you be there by my side?
And you know this can’t be right,
When we’ve debated every step to death,
I’m so sick of wasting time,
I’d rather know I’ve messed up trying!
So prevail, we’re on your side!
Life will slaughter those that hide behind
Fear and doubt are the waste of mind
The time is now to make it right!
Another wrecking ball! The paths we haven’t chose.
Is it not one for all? Well what are we supposed!?
When our worlds collide, creating life from mind,
There’s nothing else quite like the change when everything’s in sight.
You know we need it most when no one else will even try,
Will you be there by my side?
‘Cuz this world is yours to find,
In your own space and time,
The mountains that we climb,
Are here then gone before our eyes.
If you can’t find your way,
Just try again some other day,
Those trials that we face,
Are here to only lay to waste!
‘Cuz when our worlds collide, creating life from mind,
You’d be amazed at everything just starting to align!
Who says we’ll have to fight when love will stand to prove us right?
Will you be there by my side!?

Over Everything
03:09

I’ve grown so sick and tired
of dousing fires in worlds of ire and gain
Have I been just another victim
of the things I could have changed?
‘Cuz this feels so dictated
Find my place to stave this off my name
Just when we think we’ve made it, fortune’s fading,
Chasing after you!
You’ll never let it go,
It’s always finding,
The space you need to grow,
Forever blinding!
Down
Don’t bring me down, don’t bring me down, don’t bring me
Down
What comes around, what comes around, it’s coming
I’m over everything,
I’m over everything,
I’m over every-!
So when your world’s left jaded
And everything is just not what it seems,
Can we find strength in knowing
Nothing beats the power of our dreams!
You can't get it, no you won't forget it,
Keep hoping for something to be different,
Never said I wanted just replacement,
What we owe is firmly coming crashing
Down
Don’t bring me down, don’t bring me down, don’t bring me
Down
What comes around, what comes around, it’s coming
I’m over everything,
I’m over everything,
I’m over every-!
(World keeps spinnin', the world keeps spinnin')
They say the pain will help you grow,
If you can just go with the flow,
But I’m done with waiting,
This precious time we’re wasting.
(World keeps spinnin', the world keeps spinnin')
All I just wanted you to know,
The time has come to let this go,
‘Cuz I’m done with hating,
I travel onward, liberated!
Down
Don’t bring me down, don’t bring me down, don’t bring me
Down
What comes around, what comes around, it’s coming
Down
Don’t bring me down, don’t bring me down, don’t bring me
I’m over everything,
I’m over everything,
I’m over every-!

Everything Is Easy
02:37

I’ve tried to break my way into everything
Fight my way against the grain
I’d slave for days only in vein
A travesty to say the latest.
Hey man I feel your pain
There’s an easy way to do things sane
The hardest part’s the blueprint made
But what you find you can’t deny so
Don’t you stay inside - everything is easy
It’s not safe to hide - everything is easy
If you choose to die - everything is easy
This can be your li(f)e
I’ve tried to fade us out of the mess we’re in
Caught you up in my strung issues
Got bent on a bus to Nassau
And these thieves baby they’re not strong actors
Watch out they’ll bleed you thin
Starve your friends have you convinced
What’s there left to the point in living
Once you’ve got everything missing
Don’t you stay inside - everything is easy
It’s not safe to hide - everything is easy
If you choose to die - everything is easy
This can be your li(f)e

*Indoctrination Monologue*
"Thank you for your shared, vested interest in Nova Castra,
You've been diligently chosen through our highly competitive selection process for relocation to one of our finest urban centers;
Please select the family member or friend with whom you most relate,
As this will be your final opportunity to do so moving forward”
Better to be safe than feel safe
All this speakeasy’s heresy
At the feast of naiveté
They’re listening
“How could you be so cruel?
All I want is next to you
Do you take me for a fool?
I’ll show you sentimental
Just as soon as we find out your ways”
To think we’d finally found our escape
Only to learn they’re still watching me
Is this truly our fate?
What will we do trade will fade
The surveillance is strangling
Better to watch what you do say
They’ll carry me away
*Psychoses Monologue*
“What the fuck is happening here!?
It’s not enough just to navigate the darkest corners of a profoundly sick society
We’ve got to take ACTION if we want anything to change
But you’re all too fucking complacent to do anything.
Why the hell aren’t any of you people listening to me!?
I’m trying to tell you THIS is how it’s going to end
Get the fuck out while you can
We’re all gonna die here don’t you understand!?”
“How could you be so cruel?
All I want is next to you
Do you take me for a fool?
I’ll show you 'Sentient Metal'
Just as soon as we find out your ways!”
To think we’d finally found our escape
Only to learn they’re still watching me
Is this truly our fate?
To think we’d finally found our escape
Only to learn they’re still watching me
Is this truly our fate?

Them Without You

I don’t want to be seen as someone else to sell you heaven
It’s hard to heal your soul when things are going nowhere
I’ve fought my hardest, imploring those who won’t care,
About what I feel, when I feel, how I feel…
Some of the greatest vibes we’ve tasted in a moment just fade away,
Some are pain and some are jaded, some are dead gone yesterday,
Learning to feel, finding what’s real, in a moment everything changed,
And though the journey’s long and we lose loved ones at least we’ve got today.
So when the world feels like it’s pushing down around you,
And there’s still not a place you’ll ever be safe,
Sometimes you have to move past those that now surround you,
And that we’ve got to be the change we want to see to be saved.
Some of the greatest vibes we’ve tasted in a moment can fade away,
Some are pain, some are jaded, some are dead gone yesterday,
Learning to feel, finding what’s real, in a moment everything changed,
And though the journey’s long and we lose someone wouldn’t have it any other way.
If you can shield the storms we’ve come across I pray,
That what you feel is strong enough to walk away,
They’ll be fine alone, they were before you came,
But no one’s gonna come around to save your day.
Some of the greatest vibes we’ve tasted in a moment just fade away,
Some are pain, some are jaded, some are dead gone yesterday,
Learning to feel, finding what’s real, in a moment everything changed,
And though the journey’s long and we lose loved ones at least we’ve got today.

Last Time

Where have you been dear?
I’ve asked too many times to count,
You’ve left me stranded out here,
Watching me wallow as I drown.
I’ve seen the light in suffering,
I’ve heard the masses scream and shout,
But it’s clear you never wanted this dear,
You wanted your own version out.
And this is the last time that I swore I’d ever let you in again,
But with every door I close you find a window that’s open!
Cuz my mind is so frustrated,
You know I never wanted this to end,
But it’s clear we’re missing something,
Now it’s time we let the end begin.
So it’s finally over,
Your games are all worn out,
Real love takes trust and patience,
Your foundation’s fear and doubt
If you weren’t still just SO gas lighting,
I’d have thrown your ass so sooner out,
Your every sneaking step is suspect,
I watch as we fall so further south.
And it’d be one thing if the love we shared weren’t so tainted by sin,
Something the lies behind those pretty eyes won’t mend!
My mind is so frustrated,
You know I never wanted this to end,
But it’s clear we’re missing something,
Now it’s time we let the end begin,
Maybe if things were different,
Maybe we’d have them as they’re meant,
But I no longer need this,
And you just need your reasons!
Our life has fallen astray,
I won’t fight to get this to stay,
I don’t need you anyway,
Could you please leave me awake?
I’ve had all the dreams of mistakes,
But I just learned I can escape!

Acceptable Losses

This life, a world that is not your own,
This land your strife, plaguing the ones you’ve known,
When all the while you’ve given up your throne,
To those who might have left for less alone.
So step inside, witness the hell you’ve made,
To be beside those lost to your brigade,
With all you’ve tried, you know it seems insane,
To ask for light to fight another day.
Our world is full of these things that we can’t control,
The more we hold on the more they slip through the fold,
If you can’t fight it might be best to just let go,
Than live on in this hole.
So here you stay, tried hard just to make it right,
And lost it all, the things you’ve had in sight,
Keep holding on with every ounce of might,
It’s too far gone when we’ve all crossed the line.
This is the fate, they say of love and war,
To see the world, willing to go so far,
To save yourself, you battle from this barge,
When all is torn, they won’t care who you are.
Because we’ve driven too far!
Our world is full of these things that we can’t control,
The more we hold on the more they slip through the fold,
If you can’t fight it might be best to just let go,
Than feel the loss at the hands of the one you hold.
What is the meaning of all of this pain you see?
To be the one knowing nothing is left for me,
Some things are better left dead just to let them breathe,
Cure me of this dis-ease!

Work Right Now

I’m watchin’ the tophats tryna’ make bank
off the copycats, and I ain’t even mad at ‘em
But the hustler’s anthem don’t need no damn mashup,
“It’s just me writin’ to you personally” - so get them damn hands up!
No greater talent than the man who’s worked at it for years
and failed more times than these whack cats took stabs at it.
I’m changing up bad habits, handling past baggage,
I see the mountain, and can’t wait to go and climb that shii***tt.
WORK RIGHT NOW (‘cuz ya wanted to)
The situation’s paramount that we show them the way
WORK RIGHT NOW (‘cuz ya wanted to)
‘Cuz half that shit coulda been over and done with yesterday
WORK RIGHT NOW (‘cuz ya wanted to)
You know the things you want in life they ain’t gon’ come for free
WORK RIGHT NOW (‘cuz ya wanted to)
The way I got it sittin’ right now this shit just come for me.
The cure for cancer, AIDS, in a child’s brain,
Yet we walk this Earth from birth defeated, all we do is complain,
Not seein’ the light in the situation
Turn to face it, darkness dissipates
Can’t you taste it?
The solution that you’ve needed, it’s waitin’,
all along just begging for the taking
If you could just embrace it, push through,
Do what ya gotta so we can celebrate it
and move on like Ray Don,
got a lotta problems waitin’ but the faith in fate is too strong
You better f*ckin’!
WORK RIGHT NOW (‘cuz ya wanted to)
The situation’s paramount that we show them the way
WORK RIGHT NOW (‘cuz ya wanted to)
‘Cuz half that shit coulda been over and done with yesterday
WORK RIGHT NOW (‘cuz ya wanted to)
You know the things you want in life they ain’t gon’ come for free
WORK RIGHT NOW (‘cuz ya wanted to)
The way I got it sittin’ right now this shit just come for me.
WORK RIGHT NOW (‘cuz ya wanted to)
The situation’s paramount that we show them the way
WORK RIGHT NOW (‘cuz ya wanted to)
‘Cuz half that shit coulda been over and done with yesterday
WORK RIGHT NOW (‘cuz ya wanted to)
You know the things you want in life they ain’t gon’ come for free
WORK RIGHT NOW (‘cuz ya wanted to)
The way I got it sittin’ right now this shit just come for me.

Deliver Us
03:21

Staring through the mirror glass
Watching myself fade into dust
I can’t remember who I was yesterday
All I know is there is no one that I can trust
The walls, the voices inside my head
Getting closer to me every day
Someone better save me from myself
Cause I don’t know when I’m going to turn away
I wanted so much more
But I can’t find my own way
You wouldn’t listen to me
My cries will be left at bay!
Life in the fast lane
Everyday can be your last
Livin’ off daily fixes
Happiness is in the past
Will you be my savior?
Will you give me sight?
To rid me of my former self
So I can see the light!
“Shut in a room, with curtains to catch,
Glass poison in hand, down the hatch”
Lead us to temptation, deliver us from evil,
The words that are echoed on a Sunday gathering,
Spoken from the mouths of the hypocrite preachers,
Shitting on your soul while your dreams are shattering!
I wanted so much more
But I can’t find my own way
You wouldn’t listen to me
My cries will be left at bay!
Why? Why? Why?
Do you hate me?
I wanted so much more
But I can’t find my own way
You wouldn’t listen to me
My cries will be left at bay!

It All Might Fall

I never wanted to be part of the race,
But hear me out ‘cuz I got something to say,
With every minute we get closer to fate,
But the more things are changing
More they’re staying the same
In some fearing (we can’t get it),
Disappearing (won’t regret it),
Catatonic state (just to tell ‘em!)
We find ourselves alone and still so burning for
Call it what it is, asking why we live so heavy
We’ve seen enough to know it all might fall
Enjoy it while it lasts, this is our great ending!
Sin is in when men begin...
This impossible loss
Turned to promise, the constant wills cross
Battle hardened to rise from the rocks, never stopping
The world can come forth and fraught with its problems!
Never said we had it made,
But every time we try to change…
We find ourselves alone and still so burning for
Call it what it is, asking why we live so heavy
We’ve seen enough to know it all might fall
Enjoy it while it lasts, this is our great ending!
Just want a place to call mine,
Just need a place that’s my home,
Just want a place to call mine,
Just want a place to call mine,
Just need a place that’s my home,
Just want a place I won’t die.
We find ourselves alone and still so burning for
Call it what it is, asking why we live so heavy
We’ve seen enough to know it all might fall
Enjoy it while it lasts, this is our great ending!
We find ourselves alone and still so burning for
Call it what it is, asking why we live so heavy!
