Awake – Daybreak on our lives
Undrape the exposing light
Espousing a lifetime lie
Ignoring the warning signs
Breeding error, they’re bleeding
Exceeding pleasure - feeding
Stiff breath, spent in thoughts of freeing
Fiending, but not receiving
<SOLO>
(Awake!)
(Right now)
(See the signs)
Right now!
Throw it on the ground
Your life is in your hands now
Content without control
You bought it
An all-inclusive hole to rot in
Prescribed dependency
No empathy
You see the signs?
You see the…
Signs!

Truth Hurts

First do no harm
That’s what you said
Was that a vow or just a line you read?
Are you feeling well?
So sorry to wake you
Maybe there’s something wrong with my head
No skin off your back
No sweat
You’re guaranteed a check
While I’m up to my neck in debt!
By the time you show up
I may already be dead
That said…
Why can’t you
See the pain you’ve caused?
At what cost?
I’m lost…
Truth hurts
You’ll see that it was all a lie
In time…
You fucked up our youth
Will you ever get it?
No!
You’re not repentant
You never meant it
All non-players afraid to die
Their hidden faces eager to comply
We don’t believe you anymore!
Coward, traitor!
Well paid grave maker
Helping yourselves, forsaking souls
A hypocritic oath
You all swore!
Why can’t you
See the pain you’ve caused?
At what cost?
I’m lost…
Truth hurts
You’re living in a fantasy
Your life…
Is not your own
<INSTRUMENTAL>
God bless
Your
Self-absorbance!
<SOLO>
I can’t slip silently into the fold
Unnoticed
A beating heart is audible
It won’t go quietly to the tune of surrender
First do no harm
That’s what you said!

Well good for you
You’ve found a way to
Disassociate every day
Your broken psyche
Brought upon by
Unadulterated self-absorbance
God bless your patronage
Rinse and repeat
<INSTRUMENTAL>
Are your wrists and thumbs sore yet?
<INSTRUMENTAL>
Do you like the view?
Looking down
Detached from the world around
You're lost!
<INSTRUMENTAL>
Left in your hands
Only your fans
<INSTRUMENTAL>
Life
Is more
Than a scene
Played out on a screen
We can’t survive like this
<INSTRUMENTAL>
And don’t forget
To like and subscribe
Share this with your friends
And ring that fucking bell
For your god!

[“Speakeasy chatter…”]
(He was never here…) Whispered rep.
(Didn’t you hear?) Whispered in the middle
(He was never here…) Whispered rep.
There’s no such thing as no
and yes is quite impressed
By shiny coins that toss
and bed high upon my chest
Once comfort meets with me
In truth – you’ve lied with less
You’ll beg to pay for more
One’s home becomes my flesh
Bigger than most
But not big enough to matter
Nicer for those
Who have coin to make them matter
Cutting it close
But no further up the ladder
Quiet enough
But not quite, enough
<INSTRUMENTAL>
The definitive limited dividend
Of every citizen
Unaware of the horrible situation
That they’re living in
Come and consummate
In the tainted virginity of a saint
Drink it all away
It’s all included in your stay
We’ll be your host
But we’ll make you even sadder
Hip ‘cause we chatter
Come join us and get fatter
Mad as a hatter
If you think this all sounds queer
Name sake doesn’t matter
‘Cause he was never here
He was never here
<INSTRUMENTAL>
Bigger than most
Nicer for those
Cutting it close
But not quite, enough
We’ll be your host
Hip ‘cause we chatter
Mad as a hatter
Name sake doesn’t matter
‘Cause he was never…
