Can’t Make This Up
we will overcome
will did overcome c’mon
turn on antichrist tv but you won’t see
watching Ahriman in broad daylight
visible to the naked eye
falsehood streaming
you the d ray upon me cast
here we stop the broadcast
narcotic lie sunward blinking
knows exactly what we’re thinking
and you remember less
togetherness
in the little time we got left
hey don’t forget, hey don’t forget
or you lose yourself, or you lose yourself
ya can’t make shit up no more
givin’ you tall time ripped times good times
had by all at ring side for the life review
fake memories of your humanity
what do you mean to me?
what do you mean to me?
its kingdom come its all been done
we did overcome
will we overcome, will we overcome?
its all fucked up
cold peaks the skyline turning tide
take me take me tiger tiger burning bright
rooms on fire cant wake up
rooms on fire can’t wake you up
its all fucked up
razor wire creeping higher
twilight patterns nothing happens
white noise your voice
all of us gods broken toys
everyone a winner or so it seems
in your dreams
you cant make shit up no more
what is need what is greed
rewrite by second sight
yet in the deed done stand by
its not clear why not clear why
they all run back to fuck off dot com
the seed of human mind
soul undersold
the great deceivers walk among us
without fear of reprisal
it’s a new crush the brain trust
hive mind rewrite rewind
falsehood streaming
you the D-ray upon me cast
here we stop the broadcast
narcotic lie sunward blinking
knows exactly what we’re thinking
take me take me tiger tiger burning bright
rooms on fire cant wake you up
rooms on fire can’t wake you up
you cant make shit up no more
we will overcome
we did overcome we did overcome
c’mon we did overcome

2Dead2Feel
get used to the poison
until it starts to please
don’t take away my poison
its my green dream anti-freeze
you don’t miss your petrol
until the pump runs dry
you don’t miss your guns
until the bullets fly
don’t miss the money
when you know how to steal
but if you don’t miss the love
it means you’re too dead to feel
you’re too dead to feel
the judge swings a hammer
i pawned the king’s holy crown
now all the president’s men
are shaking me down
praise the lord i’m a sinner
god only knows
i’m no innocent man
i don’t smell like a rose
don’t miss privacy
until your covers blown
don’t miss police
‘til they’re staking out your homes
hear the angels whistleblowin’?
i hate the sound they’re all out of tune
if you can’t hear ‘em sing
means you’re deep in the tomb

Darkside
roamin the dark side of the street
followed by your two little demon feet
watchin’ you watchin’ me
all i hear is shadow speak
no game, we play it two by two
you follow me, i follow you
feeling every thought you think
come on over my side of the street
there you go again
doing things i don’t remember when
yeah its our darkside
yeah its fuckin' dark and wild
far out of our control
in the struggle for the soul
live today like theres no tomorrow
its in the cry becomes a scream
we’re the nightmare and the dream
love is the energy
we’re just atoms blowin' free
i hear the tip tap toe of 2 little demon feet
i know you're coming back to me
i wanna kill my shadow
when i meet me on the street
there we go again
doing things that don’t make sense
yeah its our dark side
so fuckin' dark and wild
we never had control
in matters of the soul
live today like theres no tomorrow
watchin' you watchin' me
we’re the nightmare and the dream
love is the energy
just atoms blowin' free

Embryo
its always you, you, you in everything I do
the bullshit that darkens my day
they say it’s a virus one you cannot tame
a dance no one remembers that don’t have a name
we’re the truth on trial don’t touch that dial
they’re sharpening claws crowdfunding wars
no one escapes surrounded by the plague
i can’t hate you anymore
a million eyes are poppin’
data swimming upstream
we heard it on the grapevine sucked into your machine
we are born again alien, nothings what it seems
microwaves are buzzin so obscene
it s all lies, lies, lies
there’s nothing you cannot know
we no longer fuck
for no future embryo
i am, i am, embryo, embryo
smoke another steel rail breathe the carbon rain
jargon monoxide blowin thru yr brain
brothers start fighting, stop the double speak
in yr bubble drinkin kool aid doped up on 5G
software knows us better than we know ourselves
gave us what we wanted, this plastic hell
they say it’s a virus of the contagious kind
a stone cold killer virus of they mind
its in the food and the water lies lies lies
and they never stop coming even when we die
the data is a buzzin so obscene
there’s nothing you cannot know
nothing you cannot know
we no longer fuck
for no future embryo
i am, i am, embryo, embryo

Heavenly Bodies
you’re the hippiest star

miles of mirrors
reflected in your mind

and we will float around
these heavenly bodies
high above the clouds
you’re the prettiest star
the heaviest in the sky
you keep me up burning
if I ever slide
you’re the heaviest star
the hippiest in the sky
catch you if you’re fallen
and we will float around
these heavenly bodies
high above the clouds

Holy Ghost
the show cant go on
the sun howled to the moon
a new day wont come
life doesn’t stop for you
you threw me out into the universe
a million light years from myself
we’ve been searching
for the way back home
ever since we left
when time comes crashing down
in jagged little pieces at your feet
say a prayer my darling
and remember me
how i loved your soul of steel
how you lost my worried mind
the world wont stop for us
life can’t rewind
life cant rewind
im the hungry ghost
that heaven sent
im the holy ghost
hungry for your sex
im the hungry ghost
hungry for your sex
star death
i cant save you
cant even save you from myself
im the holy ghost
hungry for your sex
cant save you
cant save you from star death
im the holy ghost
hungry for your sex
the holy ghost
star death

Everyday
touch my life
move me with your song
and then the fire catch
you’re coming on strong
but hey, every day
i die a little bit more
in a silent way
I fight my little wars
the heartbeat drum
echoes through your skin
is this it, is this love?
this is everything
because hey
every day i die a little bit more
in a silent way
i fight my little wars
since you disappeared
is that forevermore?
everyday, i fight my little wars
in a hundred ways
i die a little bit more
starless night folds over you
tomorrow brings the morning dew
we are reborn into this state
every day
i die a little bit more
in a silent way
i fight my little wars
in a hundred ways
i die a little bit more
you’re no longer here
is that forevermore?

United
united we stand divided we fall
there’s no secret
its all one
blown to pieces by a random thought
couldn’t put it back together
couldn’t hear through the noise
of the country burning
silence was an afterthought
if nothing is forever
then what the hell is all this for
a million stars watching
as we hold us in our arms
infinitely repeating
thru times warped looking glass
anyway
i love you
united we stand divided we fall
there’s no secret
its all one

Expendable
just one question for natural selection
they say who’s it gonna be, you or me
can i hold that thought
just a little longer
can you hold me
hey brothers are we all expendable?
there aint no heaven there aint no hell
all we have is here and now, people
the end of the world on replay on replay
boring me shitless with its constant complain
revolution after revolution
but nothing change like night follows day
its ritual, instinctual
hey friends are we all expendable?
there aint no heaven there aint no hell
unless its right here, people
deep down i know you know the truth
everybody gets their shot
but no one’s bullet proof
after the storm is over
you cant remember how you ever made it through
can i hold that thought just a little longer?
can you hold me, just a little stronger
an act of human kindness holds the key
unlocks the silence
blood glows read, hearts beat faster
when we’re together all we have is love
hey sister are we all expendable?
nobody wins, but so many of you think they do
don’t try to fool yourself people
deep down you know the truth
everybody gets their one shot
but no one’s bullet proof
after the storm is over
you cant remember how you ever made it through
can i hold that thought just a little longer
can you hold me, just a little stronger

Where Does It End
how far does your love extend?
how big is your heart
where does it end
every little thing alive
deep in the ocean
flying the atmosphere
it breathes
they thought they were immortals
powerful as gods
editing the book of time
five a.m. cold calling
i dreamt we’ve been here before
building us an ark for the animals
and all our friends
how far does your love extend
how big is your heart
where does it end?
