lyrics

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
