Mesmerized

Any day is a perfect day
When I spend it with you
Chase away the disarray
Sink back slowly into
Soon enough you'll see the final turn
Getting near, feel the fear but will you ever learn
No matter how close you won't feel the burn
Fading out, try to shout with the utmost concern
I'll tap my feet as you sing along
Our hearts together will dance
You always say it's your favorite song
A perfect summer romance
Exit down the stairs and to your right
Past the wall where you all have to stare at the light
Mesmerized by the awesome sight
You could say every day's gonna be alright
Soon enough you'll see the final turn
Getting near, feel the fear but will you ever learn
No matter how close you won't feel the burn
Fading out, try to shout with the utmost concern
Exit down the stairs and to your right
Past the wall, where you all have to stare at the light
Mesmerized by the awesome sight
You could say every day's gonna be alright
Soon enough you'll see the final turn
Getting near, feel the fear but will you ever learn
No matter how close you won't feel the burn
Fading out, try to shout with the utmost concern

Just Embrace
04:43
|
|||
Late at night only sight
By the candlelight, we are
Not the first or the worst
So who's complaining
You could try to deny
Or identify, when it
Took a hold so I'm told
It needs explaining
You're never gonna be a winner
You're always gonna run away
Someone's always gonna beat you
But you won't lose your grace
You say that you are a beginner
I See you practice every day
You're never gonna see it through
Just embrace
Feeling great moving straight
Gotta motivate, if you
Just defend 'til the end
Then you won't get there
After all you could fall
From your drug withdrawal, give up
Never see that you'll be
Invited elsewhere
You're never gonna be a winner
You're always gonna run away
Someone's always gonna beat you
But you won't lose your grace
You say that you are a beginner
I See you practice every day
You're never gonna see it through
Just embrace

Reset the Reign
03:45
|

Every Monday bleeds into the Sunday
Every fun way hinges on your one play
If you're lonely know you're not the only
Person slowly growing more unholy
Show your true self drinking only top shelf
Fuck your friend's health, what about your bosses wealth
Treat us like a dog, tell us we're a cog
In a well made machine producing diamond smog
We could do it if we wanted to
Burn it down so we can start anew
I think it's time in fact we're overdue
Yes it's true
See the view
Follow through
End the system that has brought you pain
Change the balance and reset the reign
Easy said but how can I explain
You can gain
Seems insane
Break your high score make your labor worth more
Shake your ass for cake that fell on the floor
You could work hard, do a shift at graveyard
New credit card, who said we're not getting scarred
If you close your ears then you close your mouth
If you're watching this and never want to shout
You can fall asleep, smile on your face
On the winning team while also a disgrace
We could do it if we wanted to
Burn it down so we can start anew
I think it's time in fact we're overdue
Yes it's true
See the view
Follow through
End the system that has brought you pain
Change the balance and reset the reign
Easy said but how can I explain
You can gain
Seems insane
We could do it if we wanted to
Burn it down so we can start anew
I think it's time in fact we're overdue
Yes it's true
See the view
Follow through
End the system that has brought you pain
Change the balance and reset the reign
Easy said but how can I explain
You can gain
Seems insane

Waking each morning I see you
Softly you call me and sing too
Reaching my heart out, take hold
Taking it slowly, you're too old
Eating breakfast with you and it feels
Like I'm home and I know that it's true
Thanking me with a smile all the while
You can warm my soul
Sinking into me, we sit down
Blankets and blank thoughts all around
Dancing in dreams now, you sleep
Stars in your green eyes hidden deep
Eating breakfast with you and it feels
Like I'm home and I know that it's true
Thanking me with a smile all the while
You can warm my soul

You Don't Want My Love
04:45
|
|||
You don't want my love
You just want my money
When pushing comes to shove
You'll see how this ain't funny
Endless avenues of window shopping pain
And once the advertisements drive us all insane
We'll gladly hop aboard the nearest cattle train
And we're off to see the profit squeezed from me
You don't care about pride
You just want my paychecks
If every person died
You'd sell our bodies to the insects
Get your cameras out the world is on display
On our right you'll see our morals right away
I think I have a plan but first you'll have to pay
I take cash, Venmo, card, Paypal, pay me it's not hard
You don't need my trust
You just need my labor
We point out you're unjust
You turn us on our neighbor
There will come a time, the final straw will break
You'll put too much of all our livelihood at stake
And at the trial we'll show that this is what you make
When you take and take and take and take

Never Knew
04:06
|
|||
Waiting, baiting, wheezing, steezing, stealing, dealing
No one cares if you're
Breathing, heathen, shaming, framing, creeping, peeping,
Just keep up with your
Rhyming, timing, drinking, stinking, smoking, joking
I could go for more
Ripping, sipping, double dipping
Never knew what I could do
Never knew never knew never knew what I could do
Never knew
Never knew never knew never knew what I could do
I'm done
And nobody won but
The salesman who told the lie
He owns
Mortar and stones that
He'll build up to the sky
Thinking, blinking, sweating, betting, staring, swearing
I can't hear you they're
Yelling, selling, scheming, screaming, preaching, screeching
They don't seem to care
Fighting, biting, grabbing, jabbing, smacking, whacking
Who says life is fair
Earning, yearning, living, giving
Never knew what I could do
Never knew never knew never knew what I could do
Never knew
Never knew never knew never knew what I could do
I'm done
And nobody won but
The salesman who told the lie
He owns
Mortar and stones that
He'll build up to the sky
I'm done
And nobody won but
The salesman who told the lie
He owns
Mortar and stones that
He'll build up to the sky

The Race
03:24
|
|||
You're gonna win the race now
Going round the track
Don't look back
It's the final lap
And you know that speed can be useful
I'd slow down here
But we're not all like you, born without fear
No, I can't stop you
Or anything you do
As all the racers chase now
You float ahead with ease
Like a breeze
It's when you believe
And you have the one little secret
If you're not scared
Then you'll rise up always, do what's not dared
Yes, I can't stop you
Or anything you do
It's fallen into place now
The finish is in sight
There's no fight
You'll do what you like
As you drift by all the people
You see the race
Manifesting in their smiling face oh
Yes, I can't stop you
Or anything you do.
Well you've set the pace now
But there'll be more to come
And where there's some
It is never done

Corset queen
Diamonds are her body
Silk and lace
Watered wine and high tea
Ripped up tights
Rings of gold and ivory
These riches mean nothing to love
Broken nails
They tell a different story
Dusty crown
None behold your glory
Empty halls
The red queen isn't sorry
Heads will roll, her word from above
When it's over
No they won't remember her name
An empty kingdom
And now she has no one to blame
But her fame
Autumn winds
Bring the news of the fall
Some would say
That's when she'd lose it all
'til this day
No one broke through her wall
Cataclysmic proof that money brings fear
Winter winds
Ignite the darkest hour
Bloody stains
Upon the frozen flowers
Silent peace
At the collapse of power
A throne ignited and they cast her away
Empty words
No one came when she called
A sorry sight
From she who once had it all
Darkened tomb
Screams behind her cell wall
Tarnished silver on Judgement Day
Now it's over
And everyone remembers her name
A name so ugly
Twisted into nothing but pain
And her shame
A wealthy state
Diamonds line their city
Everyone
Wealthy in wine and high tea
And not a soul
Looks back with any pity
Hoarding riches leaves no room for love

Life in the Abyss
05:14
|
|||
Stare and think
But don't you blink
Or you will miss
Wait 'til they automate
Life in the abyss
I don't know
Where to go
Waking up and making up
A reason just to leave your bed
Supposed to be the easy step
Before you start the morning prep
When you try you'd rather die
Then hear the hate inside your head
I hope that it gets better soon
Get up before the afternoon
Why I try
And just deny
That somethings wrong
Makes all the time it takes
Worth writing a song
Can you show
Where to go
Waking up and making up
A reason just to leave your bed
Supposed to be the easy step
Before you start the morning prep
When you try you'd rather die
Then hear the hate inside your head
I hope that it gets better soon
Get up before the afternoon
Drop your wall
And you will fall
Into the black
If you survive the cliff
There's no going back
Help me out
Break the doubt
Waking up and making up
A reason just to leave your bed
Supposed to be the easy step
Before you start the morning prep
When you try you'd rather die
Then hear the hate inside your head
I hope that it gets better soon
Get up before the afternoon

Like Magic
03:06
|
|||
We're all dancing in the dark
Broken pieces, open hearts
Finding out just who we are
Just who we are
Painting over every scar
Turning tragic into art
Feels like magic
Just like magic
Love of mine
The time has come to say goodbye
No matter where we go tonight
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
We're all dancing in the dark
Broken pieces, open hearts
Finding out just who we are
Just who we are
Painting over every scar
Turning tragic into art
Feels like magic
Just like magic
Sunshine and moonlight
I fade into star struck in your eyes
Yeah I'll take a million of these nights
I could stay forever
Forever in your arms
