The truth is back in style The counter culture sways Words alone don't mean a thing An unfamiliar face that we thought disappeared Now our hearts will know no fear And I know it's so damned hard to be understood I can't walk, I can't walk away from you. Awake with gratitude Open up your heart Every days a brand new start But hope alone won't win Without steps to improve Realign your attitude

Vampire 03:29
I can be your cloud on a sunny day A broken umbrella when it starts to rain A comfortable lie when you need the truth I can realign your attitude And they call me a vampire / I'm bleeding all my friends again Can I get a ride to the liquor store Get a plastic bottle whiskey from the bottom shelf Can you cover me this time I'm a little short What's yours is yours and yours is mine What's yours is yours and yours is mine Hey there guess what I can't believe What it is you say you see in me When the mourning comes Don't forget about me Guitar!

Hard to Say 02:46
I was sitting on a beach Hoping for a hand that I could reach Then I saw you there / And girl you are beyond compare I was hoping you could slum for a bit With a dude with no future but he will not quit Noone compare / To you my dear Though I find it hard to say Wanna show you every day No there is nobody else Who lets me be, be myself Like you do Everybody wants to be like you Watch those shape shifters cop your attitude You can keep me on track / And girl I won't hold you back You can be the string and I'll be the kite Keep me grounded and I'll keep it light Noone compares / To you my dear

He came for the sinners plates To give them substinance Still they blame the other tribe For the hate that lives in their hearts You can find the battle line It's a war you cannot win But still they wage Light your lamps let em shine so the others see There homes are built on the waves Blame it on the sinners with the sawdust in your eyes Blame it on the riverbed when your basin has run dry If my love was a satellite I would revolve around you If your heart was a front porch light I would be a moth for you She came to the village well Before the sun had come up Felt she was not good enough But he had filled her cup Imagine what we could If we lived without the fear That runs our days Light your lamps let em shine so the others see there homes are built on the waves

From behind your computer screen You got it all anonymity Yea yer gonna change the world one post at a time Simple answers and a victim crutch Making sure you never have to think too much It's not violence if it's morality Modern day Pharisees Tribalist mentality Performative morality Modern day Pharisees Let me tell you all about their false sincerity Telling me that I have to atone The original sin of my skin tone Self flaggelate for lack of melanin Useful idiots and NPCs Resentment driven morality Divide and conquers never been so easy

Nature abhors a vacuum and when someone claims no belief in God, you can guarantee something took his place. It could be the hedonistic pursuit of instant gratification, a prison constructed of their own flesh with desire as the slave master. For others it;s the government, omnipotent and all knowing to the conspiracy theorist, while others attend the church of political tribalism. That's the difference between Shakespeare and Stalin, Billy could murder a dozen heretics... While ideology fills mass graves. My TV talks to me Modern psychiatry My hearts worst enemy My TV talks to me In the early 1960s Marx-driven intellectuals in academia had a tough choice to make, admit defeat or change the target. The horrible reality of their supposed utopias were laid bare for the world to see, signage posted on streets reminding parents not to eat their children. But worse than the aforementioned was the inability to attract American workers to the movement, their stubborn refusal to define themselves by class alone. With hubris, defeat can never be admitted, so academia shifted the dialectic from class to race, gender... hell anything. This torch will Consume you If you don't learn to let go

Shadow Self 02:58
I know you wish that I'll just go away That's too bad For you I know you wish that I'd just fade away Well tough luck To you I made peace with my shadow self today I made peace with my ego I wrap my hands around your neck To take away that final breath from you I ask if you have any last words All you could get out was that it hurt
8.
Alibi 01:41
I'm not ready for the test you give Everybody telling me how to live I don't have anymore fucks to give Everybody just fuck off Your social scene I'd prefer lobotomy All you uniform thought police Everybody just fuck off If it's all in my head I'd rather be dead Make sure that your bags are packed Get that knife out of my back I've evolved and on the attack Fortify my heart Let's simplify Straighten out my alibi Throw a party when you die Dancing on your grave

What I gotta do to get on your magazine Another bug eyed blood bath celebrity The body counts up and the media celebrates It's all part of our manifest destiny And the wolves lap it up... Got a taste for blood And I can't get enough What we gonna do about this noise? Pick up your pitchforks right by the flame Better watch what you hear watch what you say Don't want the men in black out to get you It's just another modern moral panic

I thought that I had seen a ghost Ideology infection has found a new host I can't look you in the eyes anymore I thought I saw you in a breadline Stomach churning cobweb building on the skylines I can't look you in the eyes anymore Unsheathe your eyes out come the knives Compassion breeds Oedipus sight We used to stay up all night No idea was out of bounds no idea was out of line I can't look you in the eyes anymore Acting as if you have authority I won't sell my soul, you can have conformity I won't look you in the eyes anymore Unsheathe your eyes out come the knives Compassion breeds Oedipus sight Yea I know this ride will come to an end I can't complain Through the madness sadness sorrow and the pain I can't complain

It's on the tip of my tongue It's a ripcord but I cannot find the handle Just like Sisyphus I'm struggling But I'll keep pushing that bolder up that hill Yea you think you got me under your thumb Just another cornered mouse to put your glass on There I go, Flying off the handle I'm not rude you're just so very dumb So you think you are king of the ocean Got a little school of fish to follow you Oh no there's nothing to rely on Except you don't know when to shut your mouth Oh yea, I think you're so cool Talkin bout a new wave All I hear is old news
