born to late, born to soon
underclassed under rule
push past the past, push past the fuel
you're going to break down that town soon
clubs and stones on bones,
simmer to a boil
boiling point in arctic soil
you're going to break down that golden wall
you're going to break down that town soon

lightning rod

Cross that field, of dog shit and dandelions
Fill that hole, that you made, to have a place to die in
Get a job, at the mall, smile at the buyers
Forge a sword, from the coals of the wildflower fires
Stand up high, stand up high
Become the lightning rod
Scoured earth, coded sky
Become the lightning rod
Close the door, on the storm, that took away your glimmer
Send a rose, to the troll, who pissed upon your fire
Send a stone, through the teeth, of the social merchandising
Rest your eyes, bide your time, that fire ball is rising
Stand up high, stand up high
Become the lightning rod
Scoured earth, coded sky
Become the lightning rod
Be that tree, be that tower
Become the lightning rod
In that field, of wildflowers,
Become the lightning rod

Home
Moss covered throne
Black lit by batteries
Patriarch and wildling
No walls to stop the view
No walls to slow you down
No walls to keep the dew from leaching our clothes, I'll keep your body warm, just before the sky comes down
Ill be your alibli
You be my guardian
Our garden of edibles
Will keep our heads from growing thin
Sharp beds of needle trees
Keeps us from real dreams
Keeps us from seeing things out of the fog, I'll keep your body warm, just before the sky comes down

tangled

caught in a lie
bigger than you
metallic lore that fell from the sky
sculptures you drew
in borders of wire
contoured and shaped in a steel blue hue
conscientious liar
trapped in a web
surely you knew your name would expire
we've all pretended
left stories unmended
but no one's as tangled in tales as you
everyone's a liar
an attention seeking buyer
but no one's as tangled in tales as you
scrap paper valued
school child bruised
hurt by your peers in a marginal feud
were you just lonely
wanted a friend
millions of friends now acclaim your baloney
keep your mind tuned
with jet cars and fire
now that your materials lab is ruined
we've all pretended
left stories unmended
but no one's as tangled in tales as you
everyone's a liar
an attention seeking buyer
but no one's as tangled in tales as you
some tell tall tales
skyscraper fables
but no one's as tangled in tales as you
people misleading
hiding and conspiring
but no one's as tangled in tales as you

the dome
03:20
|

|
Under the dome, 5 miles above your home
Under the smoke pushed forth from the fire that kept your theory warm
Living beneath the man made canopy of skies
Wading the swamp of lizard government created lies
David Dunning won't you wash my fears away
Justin Kruger will you take me down that railway
The truth you need, the proof produced from modelling clay
First one out the door on simulation judgment day
Into the hole you fell slowly through the information stratosphere
Out of the blue you broke on through to become a scientific buccaneer
David Dunning won't you wash my fears away
Justin Kruger will you take me down that railway
Round world gone flat right before your eyes

giant mirror
03:34
|
|||
|
The threads that tie you to your peers
Form the rope that close another's throat
The posts that hold the leaders on their thrones
Are the same ones that sink another's boat.
Everyone is just a grain of sand
Flowing in the cataclysmic surf
One rock moving with a billion other rocks
Each with an imaginary worth
We all look down
On the broke man drowning in the scorn
But everyone took part in the making of the crime because
Monsters are made not born
We all look down
At the bad guy in the journalistic porn
But everyone took part in the making of the crime because
Monsters are made not born
Some of us are raised to raise a hand
Some of us are raised to raise a child
Some of us raised to raise a giant mirror when a monster in their city is exiled.
Until we choose to shift our point of view
We'll all be accomplices in black
All a bail of hay, each steadfast in our way, gently placed upon the camel's back
We all look down
On the broke man drowning in the scorn
But everyone took part in the making of the crime because
Monsters are made not born
We all look down
At the bad guy in the journalistic porn
But everyone took part in the making of the crime because
Monsters are made not born

electrify this desert town
farm your crops in thunder clouds
land between the peaks
flooded deep in crimson dye
city built on dust
built below the brooding skies
smile wide and terrify
populate and fortify
electrify this desert town
farm your crops in thunder clouds

live another year
04:40
|
|||
|
Slowing the rising of tide
frantically pulling the rope in
Don't let dread break your hide
Don't let the heat crack you open
Someone was bidding their time
Eyeing the line of extinction
Fruit flies in the glass house
Fearing their mass execution
Live another year
In a dying time
Across the burning sphere
Dig the fire line
Leave all your cities behind
When everything falls to the table
Follow that road to the north
Pass through the valleys of gravel
Remember the old ones who tried
Don't let their scars be forgotten
Hand write that letter to home
Seal it with pressure and gluten
Live another year
In a dying time
Across the burning sphere
Dig the fire line
Kid with no career
Child with open mind
Bury all your fear
Underneath the brine
Live another year
In a dying time

blackened pearl

You're living in the future world
Lost behind your blackened pearl
Have you seen the misty rain?
Rain without the pixel frame
You're living in the future world
Craving just a spoken word
Thinking this is all that you can be
A voluntary amputee
