Ones At The Top
02:02
|
|||
these days I can’t help but go out of my mind
they say if you see something, say something
right
it’s not black and white
and all the ones at the top
look down and not up
these days we take what we get
history screams, our ears are still wet
mind
how the axe swings
there’s no fault to be found; look up and not down
we can’t shrug
the all seeing eyes are mirror-blind
and the glass has no real silver lining
mind
all recognize
for the old will die while the young will live on

Glass Ceiling
01:43
|
|||
mystery why we are bleeding, right
no shards from the glass ceiling, right
backslide, hold tight
mystery why we are bleeding, right
no scars in a half visible fight
backslide, hold tight
what would the Mothers say
“For shame”

Rope's End
01:46
|
|||
they won’t give any
that ain’t it, fact is if they don’t give they’re winning
they don’t try anymore
that ain’t it, fact is that they don’t have a thing to give
i don’t understand, don’t get it, get it
dragging us at rope’s end
we fray, bit by bit

Dead Seas
03:10
|
|||
no trees, no people, dead seas, no people
nobody likes humanity anymore
who would? they throw their hands up and walk away!
what seems costly now will be priceless then
no trees, no people, dead skies, no people
failed brakes, watch the crisis roll on. modern problems lie
and if you’re keeping on then know it’s as criminal as can be
the ancient know, the old don’t see
what seems costly now will be priceless then
no trees, no people, dead seas, no people
no one likes humans anymore
can’t back down now
and if you’re keeping on then know it’s as criminal as can be
the ancient know, the old don’t see
things fall apart, be ready

Remind Me Why
01:21
|
|||
the triumph of one does not negate the misery of the many
the power of one is remade by the violence of the many
remind me why I live my life, again
the wealth of one does not relate to the hope of the many
the sorrow of one is remade with the love of the many
remind me why I live my life, again

Pale Blue Dot
02:20
|
|||
tiny lights cast across the sides of our minds
winking in, winking out
dead before we ever saw them
pale blue dot
tiny lights tossed along the lines in our hands
winking in, winking out
dead before we ever saw them
pale blue dot

Rising High
02:00
|
|||
keep on building the Fatherland
burn it back as best we can
flames rising high
greenbacks blinding the morally dead
torch it all to black and red
flames rising high

The Big Swim
01:56
|
|||
drowning in a sea of white noise, in the big swim
a hundred years go by, is anyone satisfied?
stay home if you like, I couldn’t if I tried
a collar buttoned high, a buckle cinched too tight
a twinkle in the eye, a brick in the gut
right by right
what we breathe, and for what do we fight?
drowning in the big swim
white men lock up your sons, they’re not safe for anyone
march around the place acting like they own it
turn a century on a dime, it’s hardly any time
normal’s not in line, majority wasted outright
— by right
what we breathe, and for what do we fight?
drowning in a sea of white noise, in the big swim
right by right
what we breathe, and for what do we fight?
