Your 3 jobs are getting harder to maintain, poor you
This month’s rent is overdue
Get on your hamster wheel and run until we say you’re done
Yet you’ll only have enough to survive
Corruption justified as fair in our eyes
And our hearts are as black as the night
You have no option but to just comply
It’s on you that we’ll capitalize
We’ve got yachts and cars and pools in five different states
But I need at least five more
Oh it’s hard being us, we’re so tired of fighting with the unions, they are not humans
So many mouths left to deprive
Wealth keeps floating up, while cruelty trickles down
Corruption justified

You Do The Talking

Why don’t you speak up
Tell us something that we need to know
Fill the void of silence with a joke or anecdote
How about that game
This weather’s crazy for the month of May
Engage with me in smalltalk bout my kids, who you don’t know
panic attacks won’t go away
Wait til you hear (the) dumb things I say
Your eyes feel like fire, they burn through me now
What if my words all come out wrong
What if they criticize my songs
Can’t assemble the words that would make more sense
And unable to fake the confidence
Can we leave and go home now
Are people staring at me? I’m so uncomfortable
The anxiety is building, I’ll just stand here by the wall
Where did you go
Where did you go
Please save me from these talkative strangers

Sitting around, been thinking about that night
And the blood on the ground burned forever into my mind
I’ll carry the weight of your sudden death
It’s an anchor around my neck, yet I’m dispossessed
C
But it’s too late I can’t go back at all
And my mistakes became ghosts that haunt these halls
V
At times I can’t believe this all is real
Should’ve been you not me behind that wheel
You were telling me the road is hard to see…Now
…that seems a metaphor for what will be
C
But it’s too late I can’t go back at all
And my mistakes became ghosts that haunt these halls
The landscape’s gray here where your story ends
Forever cold here where you took your last breath
B
I swear to honor your memory
I feel you here watching over me
I swear I’ll make you so proud of me
I’ll make you proud
I swear I’ll make you so proud of me
I’ll make you proud
C
But it’s too late I can’t go back at all
And my mistakes became ghosts that haunt these halls
The landscape’s gray here where your story ends
Forever cold here where you took your last breath

V
Why’s normal so revered?
What’s wrong with being weird?
Be yourself, enjoy the ride you’re on
Ignore the Facebook feeds
Your connections’ perfect deeds
You’re only shown what they want seen
And it’s all exploding rainbows, puppy paws, and unicorns
C
(You are)
You’re trying way too hard
Just don’t hold on so tight
(Let go)
The world is outside your control
Just let it be alright
V
You hear a subtle voice
Say that happiness is a choice
But you’re wound too tight to enjoy yourself
You can’t stop the wind while out in it, who cares
Just let it flow around you there
Don’t overthink the things that come, they’ll happen either way
B
Enjoy all the small wins and go easy on yourself
You can’t change much of what comes next and worries never help
Why waste all your thoughts on moments past and future
Why not be awake

Everything Ends [future]

I don’t know why it had to be this way
After all these years we’re told
People mate for life
But things can’t get much worse
The lies and fights and tears and on and on
Lifetime
Quickly drifting forward
A time-lapse getting faster
Seasons here, then gone
Forever
Future
Once planned now uncertain
Changes for the best
This too shall pass
Everything ends
We didn’t see the cracks becoming canyons til…it’s too late
(I’m) Not gonna lie, I’m happy that you’re on your own
I wish you’d disappear for good
End this nightmare and move on
The path ahead
Is brighter now with hope and rebirth
The weight is gone
Renewing a sense of self worth

V1
Your life’s been too comfortable
For so long, the world spun around you
Spent your time staring into the mirror
And while your guard was down your reflection has changed
CHORUS
Empire on fire
Let’s throw more gasoline onto the pyre
We prefer chaos over being wrong
(So) we’ll dance until it all burns down
V2
Who cares for the less fortunate
As long as there is plenty for you
Fear and hate tearing into the seams
And divided we stand here fanning the flames
BRIDGE
Is this greatness
Or just selfishness
When will this end
Can’t go back now
As ashes reign down
What will it become
