Random Acts of Verbiage

I hear a voice, it’s faint and weak.
Two pink pills to fall asleep.

Light of day it warms my wounds, I will not die here.
I’d love to slip away until all they ever see are photographs.
Remove all memories and down the pill, let the current take
Me away to Zion.

My heart is pounding towards my rhythmic fate.
My eyes are blurring. Hail my brilliant escape into permanent nothing!
Now I run for the door… death has never tasted this sweet before.

Don’t be afraid to live. Living with fear? … simply turning from chances to give.
See! It’s all around you… in every face there is a story.
But instead you stay where everybody looks the same… and you thank God for that?

I long for the day when I can proudly say I never judge a face.
Then I would feast with any one or two or three from any
Place and I’d thank God for that!
Light of day it…

To my right a man on his knees, I could give him a reason I could help him face the world.
Then to my left a woman in need… it could never hurt to ask her, even with nothing to give you’ll encourage her heart.
Oh please God spring up in me the means to see the importance of another’s world.
Never right or wrong or hear or there just breathing guarantees a right to voice their heart.
I want to live!

In Time the trees die and light will fade
But I hope for a new breath, a new life to take me away…

Let us pretend we’ve got it together.
Let us ignore the coming sun.

We’ll sing the body electric until machine and soul are one.
I’ve see the tweaker struggle… syringes lined the floor.
A cycle churned to life by dead end jobs and a government’s war.

In Time the trees die and light will fade.
But I hope for a new breath, a new life to take me away…

One by one the monsters trample.
Through woods and dirt they feed.
What sort of world and plight for our children must we leave?
Let us burn the nation’s budget.
Let’s send boys overseas to fight ghosts in the desert instead of teaching them to give and lead…

In time. In time.

I just bought a new DVD to go hand in hand with the player.
And that’s one step closer to fulfillment.
My friend just bought a new purse handcrafted or so that tag claims.
And that’s one purse closer to hip.

At our rate of production and inventions I’m not sure the world can keep up.
A steady decline in to simplicity is what I’ve observed.

And I believe they’re on to something!

A jet just flew overhead equipped to defend and defeat…
And that’s one jet closer to safety.
I just purchased more pills to help me sleep naturally…
And that’s one pill closer to rest.

I’m back in style for a while
Been working hard to catch the rhythm
Of your beating heart and your bodies system
Now that I see I’m weak at the knees
Your eyes paralyze don’t tempt me I’m vulnerable.

Chose your method of approach
I dig a moat to keep my walls safe
But you cross in boat your hands around my throat…
Now that I see I’m weak at the knees
Your eyes paralyze don’t tempt me I’m vulnerable.

My hands are shaking at the possibility of using
But I know I must remember who I am
And what it took to realize I can’t win this alone.

Fairest of fair, linger there
When will I sleep tonight?
Paints a view in my mind
Holds a flower and sighs

Tell me love when did my world burn down?
“You weren’t here.”
Tell me love when did my courage drown?
“You weren’t here.”

Why don’t you dance when we sing these hymns?
“Cuz you sport the wrong pants and attract the wrong kids!”
Why should it fucking matter? That’s not what music’s about…
Before our first chord, turn and raise your snout.

When will me, when will we fly on golden wings to the far beyond?

I grew up in the shadow of a towering mountain raised on hipster love.

When will they, when will we learn to kill the image and embrace the world?

I’m loosening my grip on the fear of failure and tightening my perception of what the world has needed.
And “what?” you ask, “has the world needed?”
It’s love we say! Yes, it’s love and not your image.

Today I feel the guilt in my heart.
It rattles my ribcage like a mule.
You know the feeling you get when you’re tired of the person
You’ve slowly become?
Mistake here, mistake there despite possible consequences.
See, I’ve fucked it up over and over again.
Oh God, don’t waste your time.

He’s alone and old.
Now his heart is in the ground.
I could have helped a brother.
Convinced I worked not nearly enough.
Let this be my lesson to never measure love.

In the waking hour, when I hear the cold air.
Let him find the true rest he looked for.
And if I ever someday found myself in his place may a friend
Do what I never could: Just give love, there is never enough.

All this wind will travel somewhere far away perhaps to blow your hair aside
To reveal your eyes, green as the purest rock moss.

Miles can’t contain all that I send out on these cold waves.
They’ll crash upon your shore leaving my heart missing you even more.

Often, I daydream that I’m captain of a great boat sailing to your far outer banks.
There you’d be on a beach waiting for me and I’d run to your arms.

Oh yeah. It’s me in the middle and I can’t decide.

She grew up fast in a southern town
A beautiful blonde in a Baptist home
Now when I hear about her Mom’s got tears
How a child can be swept away with the years.
But I’ve been swept away now too.
That’s why I sit here writing to you
I’m caught in addiction Jules together we are
Like lost battered ships sailing towards the same star.

And I try to get out of it… but I’m lost in a tidal wave.
When they ask I’ll say:

I will not go! I will not fight! I will not die and give you my life!
All that I am, I will not freely give!

Yesterday I rode out to the lake, I had my smoke and I thought
about how much shit you’ve been through, losing your beautiful Mom.
I still remember your eyes when we arrived at the parking lot
But enough of remembering and more about now.

And I try to escape it all… but I’m lost in a tidal wave.
When they ask, I’ll say:

I’m little I know, but wherever I go I give I give… I give (away).
Singing, singing all the day… give oh give oh give away.

“Dream sweet!” she says, hangs up the phone
I pause… to take it all in.
I think she loves me, I could hear it in her voice.

Oh how I long, long to be there.
Sing her to sleep, tell her

I will lead you along down an honest path in to patient love.
And though we may fall, this I promise you: You can sleep dear, I’ll be right here for you.

This one won’t be an empty promise! I’m gonna work to define this to build something real.
So now across borders and towns I dream of her intimate eyes and her kind giving heart.

Got a plan for you son all you need to do is pay close attention
Push a few buttons, sit back and relax.
With this comes identity.
This is how we define success.
Get it? Got it. Good.

Because without this you will be no one.
Place your future in our hands son.

I’m not encouraging apathy only raining on success
As a person does not depend on your car, your tan and how good of sex you have.

Lesson one, buy your way to the top.
Lesson two, get extremely good at one thing.
Put all of your time and trust in that.
Become as attractive as you can, because beautiful people succeed.
Get it? Got it. Good.

You’re beautiful but you’re empty.
You’re beautiful.

Why is my heart so full of doubt?

So separated. Been cut clean
Immensely jaded and I don’t really know what I mean
When I begin to tell you that my heart
Is being pulled at by another
You deserve to hear I all from the start
I was on my own and I was living to love you
For the first time I was home in the world of my mother
We spoke to each other and from the tone in your voice I foresaw…

You and I we’re on our way out!

“Green eyes and curly hair?”
Let me tell you man she sings the body electric!
“Lungs fought and gasped for air?”
Let me tell you man she sings the body electric!

You are. You are. You are. You are…

Gravity is pulling me towards a moon
In to deeper introspection and it’s clear as a northwest night
What I’ll lose if I continue on down this road in to steady
Narcissism will I have the skeleton to show?
That I lived a lie deceiving my lover till the day that I die
Do I want to steal the heart of a girl who deserves a real man not a boy?

Why is my heart so full of doubt?

“Truly sweet and beautiful?”
Let me tell you man she sings the body electric!
“She caught your eye and touched your soul?”
Let me tell you man she sings the body electric now!

You are. You are. You are. You are…

Stick upon stick
Held tight and slick
Building a house for her young
Life underwater is chilly and dim
Behind the dam wall snakes a river of sin
It’s fast and it’s thick but she’ll never give in
Down came her tail when the boy learned to swim

He’ll be taken for sure by wolves or a bear
Off in a dark wood dying bloodied and bare
Meanwhile the son swimming fast and strong
Had scars on his back, his strength was never gone
But alive and living he remained
Everything new and beautiful
The scars were more evidence of the
Freedom he felt in his life,
But not in his heart…

Today you spoke in to my life and wrote
A new chapter to be read
A new pathway up ahead
That promises some pain
But I know this hurt will lead
Me to find the faith I need
Please take this child and mold a heart of gold.

I’m learning, swallowing pride
Stand with me can we share the weight?
Oh God I need it.
You’re changing my heart and mind
I’m willing, be here all of the time and never leave again.

Oh, and so, I write these words to show
A part of me I’ll never know
That I’ll always pray for you
And the great things that you’ll do.
When will we meet my child?
We’ll sit and talk a while and I’ll tell you how you came
And changed my world.

I’m learning swallowing pride
Stand with me can we share the weight?
Oh God I need it.

Please give me wisdom and strength
To forget about what they might think
And say about me now, they think they know me now
In all honest:
I’m lost… and I’m worried.

Oh how I wish that I could hold you!
Be your best friend and sing to you!
Oh, I’m lost and I’m worried!
But I’ll trust and hope he has your hand…

In the waking hour when the cold air
Let me find the true rest I reach for
And if I ever someday, get a glimpse of his face
Remove the fear and the walls from my heart
And live love

When will the world start moving forward?
Let’s lose the hate and drown the sorrow!
Give love.
Just live love!

Pause for just a moment.
Take a breather at the top of the hill
Peer down the road of your life
Wonderful treasures you call your own.

It’s easier, it’s easier to see.
They are all bound, they are all bound to fall away.

Hope lies in the proles.
That’s how they made you.
That’s how they wanted you to be
Hope lies in your soul
That’s how they made you
That’s how they wanted you to be

Breathing is a blessing
A variable we take for granted
One quick second
It’s blown away with all your happiness

Hope lies in the proles
That’s how they made you.
But not how they wanted you to be…

[Musical Intro]

In which our hero questions life on Earth and envisions Cygnus

The stars are shining bright through his window.
So much for good rest. He’s not sleeping.
So he steps outside for some fresh air
to breathe again…

Looking out into infinite space,
This earth and it’s billions of people
Can’t help feel we’re all on our own here…
Is someone there?

Across the stars and moons afar,
something speaks to me deep inside.
Says I’m not the only one
Wishing upon the moon tonight.
If I could soar away from this
I’d start again with peace in mind.
If I could I leave this all behind.

All of this weighs heavy on my mind.
Hear my plea tonight!

So he crawls back into his warm bed…
and there he dreams a prophetic vision.
A starship and it’s sailors flying
towards the Northern Cross.

Across the stars and moons afar,
something speaks to me deep inside.
Says I’m not the only one
Wishing upon moons tonight.
It I could soar away from this
I’d start again with peace in mind.
If I could I leave this all behind.

Concerning mankind’s rapid growth in population

Malthus… I sing this for you…
For we’ve raped this soil of all it has to give
Will we turn our backs as this dam breaks?
Water floods into lungs…

In which our hero’s love interest loses her son.

Morning light saves from darkness.
Her son lay dead before her.
She lifts his body, cradles softly,
Cursing God the Father.

Tried to live life justly
And now you have repaid me.
You’ve taken my son from the world
Up into your arms…

Now I’m sure I won’t believe in
All the promises that you sing…
And damned if I don’t feel this love
And all the hope you say you’ll bring.

Tried to live life justly
And now you have repaid me.
You’ve taken my son from the world
Up into your arms…

Left me hanging.
Left me hanging…
Time and time again.
Oh you’ve left me hanging.
Left me hanging…
from the noose we’ve tied my friend.
Take care of him Lord…

Tried to live life justly
And now you have repaid me.
You’ve taken my son from the world
Up into your arms…

Take care of him! Have mercy!

Tried to live life justly and now you have repaid me.
You’ve taken my son from the world and up into your arms…

Left me hanging.
Left me hanging…
Time and time again.
Oh you’ve left me hanging.
Left me hanging…
from the noose we’ve tied my friend.
Take care of him Lord…

Take care of him Lord…

The lonely hero

Look at me…an awful mess.
I try to breathe but I must confess.
They say that I’m seeing the world when I’m here at home.
I make a call to reach a friend
But you’re never there so I pretend
that you’re with me and having a laugh
But it just won’t do…it isn’t true.

Here alone with my thoughts…
so I get stoned and shake it off.
But it squeezes the life from my bones
and I feel unknown.

They look at me and they don’t try
And I feel as though I can’t stay at all.
Just give me a chance to make you laugh
And I’ll leave at once.
They always read me wrong.
Assuming that I am always gone.
But honestly friend all I want is to spend some time with you.

In my room with a record on…
It comforts me to hear Bazan…
He translates feelings to song and I sense his pain…
It stays with me.
Do you know my words are true?
Can I sing my song for you?
Listen close cause I’m spilling my heart for the first time.

They look at me and they don’t try
And I feel as though I can’t stay at all.
Just give me a chance to make you laugh
And I’ll leave at once.
They always read me wrong.
Assuming that I am always gone.
But honestly friend all I want is to spend some time with you.

I cannot say everything on my mind!
I cannot say everything!
So I swallow the pill you give me.

(repeat chorus)

I cannot say everything on my mind!
I cannot say everything!
So I swallow…

In a predetermined meeting, our hero is warned of Earth’s immanent destruction. Meanwhile,war is declared and thefirst nuclear rocket is launched, killing millions of innocents.

Hello how are you dear?
Work was long and tiring.
I hear they started mobilizing for the war…
Missiles bombs and soldiers,
Prepare for detonation
We must strike before they
Figure out what’s wrong…

How long must they die for god?
How long must we fight?

“We know they’re wrong, they’ll burn in hell
Let’s fuck them they don’t matter.”

Here we stay at standstill
Waiting patiently for
News of mass invasion, we are safe inside…

How long must they die for god?
How long must we fight?

“We know they’re wrong, they’ll burn in hell
Let’s fuck them they don’t matter.”

Here me, please listen well,
I tell you in confidence, all I know.
The earth, is dying young,
Slowly she suffocates, disintegrates.
Our world, approaches a war,
I see in the distance, a mighty wave.
If we, don’t change our ways, we’ll surely disappear…

I wonder…I wonder… how much can we take?
I wonder…I wonder… do we approach the end?

Here me, attention I need,
Please take this seriously, it’s urgent news.
You must leave at once, take only your family…

And I wonder…I wonder…how much can we take?
I wonder…I wonder…could we attempt to fly?
I wonder…I wonder…to moons and stars on high?

I heard on the news that we dropped the bomb…
I heard on the news that we dropped the bomb
And the war goes on!

The Wiseman’s thoughts on Earth’s depleting beauty and arrogant leadership.

This hole is my home, It’s far underground.
I hide from the world and the deafening sounds
That show me theworld can’t move slowly
All the routine… and our meaningless lives

All we had is gone, tell me Lord what have we become?
When water, earth and sky are sacrifieced
By leaders ruling blind…

So the trees die and the leaves fall
Under grey sky no sun at all

Factory smoke seeps into clouds
Will my children’s children choke on our ignorance?
Choosing to live destructive, pestilent cold lives
Oh you’re hoping that someone else
Makes these changes instead

So the trees die and the leaves fall
Under grey sky no sun at all
So the trees die and the leaves fall
Under grey sky no hope at all

[Musical Interlude]

The decision to leave promptly

I listen now to the wind howl,
Whispering rhymes here and there,
And my mind’s open wide,
Tell me all I long to hear.

My God why must we argue?
Why must we all disagree?
Now the skies open wide,
Spitting punishment out on the streets…

And I fear we can’t turn back

From all, the lives we’ve lost
Do we know, how much it costs?
We must forgive ourselves…

We’re waging a war based on hatred,
See what we have become?
A world defined by lies,
“Oh Lord thy will be done”

And I fear we can’t turn back

From all, the lives we’ve lost
Do we know, how much it costs?
We must forgive ourselves…

He spoke the truth,
He knew all along, I must return home and leave at once…
We will follow the stars,
To the Northern Cross
There we will find our home!

Godspeed! Fly!
Godspeed! Fly!
Fly!

In which our hero sees Earth disappear through the starship window.

“Now we’re leaving”, Father says.
Our world’s falling through, and the fire spreads quickly.
All I hear, all I know is the bombs,
And the screams that haunt the sky,
Ships sail on high…I fear to leave this behind…

Escaping. Running. Pulling away into our
Atmosphere…towards freedom.
They’ve destroyed all we’ve known.
Burned down our home…
We must find another haven…

Soldiers disappear through the atmosphere.
There she goes, like a marble falling,
From my weakening fingertips,
And I can’t forget this…the comfort that I’ve known

(We will come back to seek revenge
For myfamly… for our worl, our lives!
Enemies must die!)

It’s a nuclear winter, all we have is infinite space…

Cabin feverrrrrrrrrrrrr

You don’t want to be (wise).
You don’t listen!

A love poem written in the back of a cold, grey spaceship.

All that I am dances for you.
My heart and my bones agree you are the reason.
I want to build you a beautiful life.
Walk with me to the end…
I’ll tear my heart out
I’ll tear my heart out…

Up from the mud you have pulled me!
Given me all that I’ve asked.
I would have drowned but you’re here now.
A warm bright sun while this winter it feasts on my soul.
Swallows me whole…
But I’ve got you.

I sit quietly upstairs and revel in the impact you’ve made on me…
You are the reason that I even try…or hope at all.
Knowing that you’ll be there when
I tear my heart out…
I’ll tear my heart out.

Up from the mud you have pulled me!
Given me all that I’ve asked.
I would have drowned but you’re here now.
A warm bright sun while this winter it feasts on my soul.
Swallows me whole…
But I’ve got you.

It feasts on my soul!
It feasts on my soul!

…but I’ve got you.

The weary hero loses hope.

All is lost. All is black.
Theworld we knew it won’t come back
Building our cities to the sky
And down they come like a heavy rain
Through the years over centuries
We’ve paved our roads over memories
Surpassing that limitless sky
And we’ve come too far, second to the stars

Angels weep at this gaping hole
Spilling blood till our lungs are full
Corrupt kings and governments fall
And we can’t deny…

That we could have made, made a choice
To consciously love those who had no voice

And give to the poor what they couldn’t afford
And we’d live as one

Yes we could have made, made a choice
To open our doors
And let man rejoice in a beautiful world
And the billions of pearls on the ocean floor

They could not say everything on their minds
They could not say everything…
So they swallowed the pill you gave them

The stars are my home
Far outer space
I hide amidst black from an ominous fate
That shows me… the world can move slowly
No routine… and a meaningful life

All we had is gone
Tell me Lord what will I become?
When water, earth and sky were sacrificed
By leaders ruling blind…

So the trees die, and the leaves fall
Under grey sky, no hope at all…

Concerning the tyrannous power that ultimately lead to Earth’s destruction

Fellowman, take a bow.
You’ve finally done it.
We’re stronger now.

So you want this secret safe and sound now?
They’ll keep it from you
One day surprise the world…
The rest will follow!

“Mankind will flourish under our divine paranoid wisdom.”

So you want this secret safe and sound now?
They’ll keep it from you
One day surprise the world…
The rest will follow!

Raise your hands in praise to a chosen nation.
We guarantee a glistening heaven…
The rest will follow!

Children of the world
don’t let your leaders fuck with
your home…
Your
Home

Our hero’s last thoughts before teleporting through Cygnus X-1

Never a day here in space goes by
When I’m not thinking of those we left behind.
Millions of miles into black, over months we’ve come.
To this burnt out sun.

Only now, only now, only now do I see you.

You’re in the stars, holding up the moons
Extending your love forever.
They claim to speak your name.
Killing those who don’t profess their love to you…
They don’t speak the truth…

I see no way around, I see no way.

They say that love will choose.
They say that love will lose.

Love will find, Love will find, Love will find…
Love will find, Love will find, Love will find, Love will find all!

Permanent winter births forth a withering world
Full of godless war and sorrow.
Pray to the pagans of old, to save your cold Earth…
But the stars don’t lie.

Only now, only now, only now do I see you.

You’re in the stars, holding up the moons extending your love forever.
They claim to speak your name. Killing those who don’t profess their love to you…they don’t speak the truth…

I see no way around, I see no way.

They say that love will choose.
They say that love will lose.

Love will find, Love will find, Love will find… Love will find, Love will find, Love will find, Love will find all!

Hours away they say Cygnus awaits.
The prophecy is true!

I will sing of your love…..(Tell me it’s all true!)

Musical Intro

The trees won’t stop dancing with the wind, the wind.
They’re leaning towards the mountains and the sea.
Here alone I wonder what to say, what to say.
Not sure if someone hears me when I pray.

It sometimes makes me wonder, do you keep us in mind?

They say to live by faith seems a joke,
that God’s up there planning while we choke.
But this view reassures me of a plan.
A world of suffrage held in mighty hands.

It sometimes makes me wonder, do you keep us in mind

Oh an eye for an eye. Tooth for a tooth.
I’ll give you my soul if you give me the truth today…

Hiked up hear to ponder from the inside out…
Self-examination pain and doubt.
All the years of listening adds some weight.
But I can’t help the questions no I can’t help the questions.

It sometimes makes me wonder, do you keep us in mind?

Oh an eye for an eye. Tooth for a tooth.
I’ll give you my soul if you give me the truth today…

Are you dying for a reason, are you dying for a divine cause?
Are you dying for a reason? Are you dying for…

Father I need you to hold me when darkness,
comes in surrounds me it captivates and grounds me.
The giants are groaning they sway with the wind.
But you promised atonement to protect me from them…

Answer me! Call to me! Something a sign!
The trees they move, back and forth
Oh God they’re alive…

The breath of empty space consumes a shallow world.
The Lonely Forest tells the story of the Godless glory.
Tonight we bury God. Do you feel it in the air?
Flesh and bones divine. Three cheers for the nothingness.

How does it feel to not have a reason?
You’re living this life on your own.
Because God is Dead…
We went and killed him and we’re dancing around on the bones.

Burn the churches down. They represent weakness.
Strip the morals from this town.
They’re hand in hand with the lower class.

How does it feel to not have a reason?
You’re living this life on your own.
Because God is Dead…
We went and killed him and we’re dancing around on the bones.

I won’t die alone.
I won’t die alone.
I won’t die, I won’t die alone…

Nice suits and black shoes, everyone is cryin.
Now I think it’s my time to slip away.
How I loathe this feeling.
On top of all the dying I think I need a new job, running out of money.
And my mom just phoned about the news.

It always seems that just as I
Build the strength enough to climb and fight
The trees they grow in and block my sight
And now I’m stuck here, with my darkest inner thoughts.

I pleaded and prayed to you
To come and take away
The voices and the choices that are bound to tear me limb from limb.
They told me that you hear in some other way
But if the answer is unknown, then why should I believe them when they say
That you’re up there and you honestly do care?

Everyone is singing now about the God, the God of love.
But I don’t feel it in my heart right now.
The comforting reassurance of a cause, but I want to believe…

It always seems that just as I
Build the strength enough to climb and fight
The trees they grow in and block my sight
And now I’m stuck here, with my darkest inner thoughts.

I pleaded and prayed to you
To come and take away
The voices and the choices that are bound to tear me limb from limb.
They told me that you hear in some other way
But if the answer is unknown, then why should I believe them when they say
That you’re up there and you honestly do care?

Oh the opium blues inside my veins.
I’ve got the chemicals inside my head to blame.

The drugs do what the friends cannot.
Oh, I think it’s my time to slip away…how I love this feeling!

He silently wonders about all the pain in the world
Why we fight and the hatred that orbits us
Spinning and balancing, perfectly hovering
Above all the stars that rest in a palm that created our lives to be heartfelt and righteous, but here we have tainted this vision for us…

Holding the world as we quarrel and struggle
You watch from above as we grow sick and die
Do you have a place for the children the world claims?
Victims of creation, tell us all why!

I silently wonder about all the pain in the world
Why we fight and the hatred that orbits us
Spinning and balancing, perfectly hovering
Above all the stars that rest in a palm that created our lives to be heartfelt and righteous, but here we have tainted this vision for us…

Holding the world as we quarrel and struggle
You watch from above as we grow sick and die
Do you have a place for the children the world claims?
Victims of creation, tell us all why!

Dance with us oh child of God x 4

Holding the world as we quarrel and struggle
You watch from above as we grow sick and die
Do you have a place for the children the world claims?
Victims of creation, tell us all why!

Are you afraid of the world?
Hatred, war, disease
Not everything reflects love
Not everything brings me joy…

Danger lurks in the dark soul
As we fight through the thick vines
I caught a glimpse of life
Through the clouds, a simple outline.

Are you afraid of the world?
Is this out of your control?

I won’t believe, I won’t let my soul go
Until you prove to me, that I won’t die alone.

We sailed into land afar,
Leaving the world we had known
In the name of science we believed
Purposeful and headstrong

Only now can I decide
To take my life and make it mine
Had I lived my life before?
Sleeping on the forest floor…

Are you afraid of the world?
Is this out of your control?

I won’t believe, I won’t let my soul go
Until you prove to me, that I won’t die alone.

God will you answer me? Call to me? Something?
Reach out and hold the world, steady the shaking.
Your creation is drowning, slowly we breathe in
Like sheep to the slaughter we’re blind!

Are you afraid of the world?

Turn the fan to level three, place yourself parallel, cool off and clench your fists. Stare out the fogged up window, it’s rather dark outside, but you can’t see the stars. Oh Last night, a young man took his life, with a gun he bought from a pawn shop. Fell thirty stories, died in mid-flight. Now onto other news - What does it matter to you? It won’t affect you anyways - Now onto other news. His heart accelerates like a rusted gear, every rotation is one step closer pistol in hand. He emerges into crisp cold air right over left up filthy stairs to liberation. Oh Last night, a young man took his life, with a gun he bought from a pawn shop. Fell thirty stories, died in mid-flight. Now onto other news. What does it matter to you? It won’t affect you anyways. Now onto other news. Now go, go about your day, walk it off. Push it in the corner behind routine. Go, go about your day, walk it off.

My parents lounge in the TV room. Paying excellent attention to This obviously captivating, new hit show On channel five. They burn money like America burns fat. Entertaining families nationwide. My Thursday night is booked. How about yours? I blame us. I blame us for tragedy. I blame us for living selfishly. But this is all we’ve known. Calamity, but why? Maybe they could be constructive. Instead of parading their wealth on screen. The envy in my heart is growing. Not envy for the crown of gold. But lust for the power. In hope that I could somehow, Do something to benefit Benefit a greater good. I blame us. I blame us for tragedy. I blame us for living selfishly But this is all we’ve known. Calamity, but why? Think of all the children without children without children with I blame us. I blame us for tragedy. I blame us for living selfishly. But this is all we’ve known. Calamity, but why?

The scientist told me when I stopped by his house
That my heart is an organ, pumping my blood.
That love is a chemical reaction in my head
And that when I pray, I pray to no one.

Thank God for facts and knowledge
Thank geniuses for hydrogen.

The pastor told me when I stopped by the church.
That the scientist is scheming, he’s feeding me shit.
He says God talks to him, speaks to his soul.
And that God meant nothing by the black plague.

Thank God for facts and knowledge
Thank geniuses for hydrogen.

I’m not so sure anymore.
I’m not so sure anymore.
Who’s sure about anything anymore?
…not I

[Father and God is Dead Reprise is often played here during live shows.]

I look to the mountains, from whence shall my help come?
Here in this world apart from earth
The branches hide the sun.
I fear the power of the trees, and what they see in me…

If the stars fade and sink into the past
I will curse the sky, love and providence.

I called to you in trouble while Helo’s carried me
Down under rock we disappeared I couldn’t think or see
Answer me, call to me, something more a sign!

If the stars fade and sink into the past
I will curse the sky, love and providence.

I won’t, I won’t, I won’t, I won’t die alone…

Father I need you to hold me when darkness,
comes in surrounds me it captivates and grounds me.
The giants are groaning they sway with the wind.
But you promised atonement to protect me from them…

Answer me! Call to me! Something a sign!
The trees they move, back and forth
Oh God they’re alive…

“It is by will alone I set my thoughts in motion”
Try and resist, try and resist the world and gravity.
I see, passing by fortune, the worm eating away
Everything, everything, everything, everything…oh it pains me.
All of me, all of me, all of me, all of me…

Trust or the bridge will give way; love or the heart will not beat;
Seek and the soul will not starve; for the good of all mankind…

Do you watch from high? Or do you look away as I
Drown in science, choke on science, we’ll can’t avoid the fall…

I see, passing by fortune, the worm eating away
Everything, everything, everything, everything…oh it pains me.
All of me, all of me, all of me, all of me…

Trust or the bridge will give way; love or the heart will not beat;
Seek and the soul will not starve; for the good of all …
Fear and the world will cave in; hate and the ocean will fade;
Sing lest the sun should burn out, of my chest a heart shaped hole.

Little one, in time you’ll know.
That hardships sting, they come and go.
With violent eyes, the world will prey
On weaker souls, on weaker souls

Quick let’s run, away from this
Quick let’s run, away from this
Where are you now, amidst the storm?
Where are you now, amidst the storm?

They sing of love,
They sing of hope,
But I’ve seen too much to know
That they sing in vain, for the scars show
That you can’t avoid the pain…
