I miss the barter days
Hands switch hands over the marketplace
Now it's all capitalistic gains
Now it's all about the job I'll get
To afford an apartment I hate
Have some kids and a nice estate
Where I surround myself with objects of intention
That shape the way that I feel, the way I'll die
Why am I
Still alive?
I guess I
Just don't have enough
The sum of our lives
Toys of consumption
Capitalism promised me something
In 08
A dead hope, a barren land
A fertile ground
For any blood sucking politicians, playing their part
Hiding
The secrets of living
In an oppressive state
Being born at the right time,
At the right place.

BILLIONAIRE
00:32

(Oh look, there he goes, a good billionaire!)
Sell everything, market anything
Exploit profit
Your good intentions equate to shit
If the only outcome is to commodify our existence
Heart of gold
Burning in the flames of interest.

RETURN TO SENDER

You should open watership down
For the very last note you left
There in the old house
By the now
Squatted dive bar
Every word
Every letter
I remember everything
I remember
There's a broken bench somewhere that heard too much
There's a broken bench somewhere
And he knows you well
Oh, he knows me well
He knows you well
Oh, he knows you well
But this is my last time
This is my last song
End notes of your long and tiring show
That one statement
Still buries me
Still haunts
That one
so called disaster.

FAKE GODS // FAILED SONS
02:57

I found the sun
(I found the sun!)
I found the sun
(I found the sun!)
Oh, brother
Fly too close
Your wax wings burning
Stay away from
Eternal figures
Come back home
Embrace familiar
Fake gods
Failed sons
All around us
Different signs
A simple fear
A simpler lie
All around us
Different signs
A different fear
A simpler lie
A simpler lie
Fake gods
Failed sons
All around us
Different signs
A simple fear
A simpler lie.

TO GIVE
01:24

We're living in parallel
I'll be the watcher
Keep you eyes peeled
There's a ghost
Perched on the shelf
There's a figure
Clawing at the drapes
Something changed today
Something changed in me
I felt it
Through all of this
I learned how how to give and how to take it all away
From you
From me
From you.

She makes her way
Through prison gates
With a plan
Set him free but get the right
To have a say
A loved one's there
Her little man
How dare you even ask for representation?
How could you think
That this was right?
A gunning hand
You justify?
Justify
Visitor
Just a pawn
Hope you see
When day is done.

COFFEE

It's a pain
It's a hassle
Carrying everyday like this
Like a fucking mountain
It's just a ruse to slave us away
We're all just robots on assembly lines
Ready to function
Making your food
Pouring your drinks
Cleaning your sheets
In the rain, in the cold, in the snow, in the heat
Dress well
Look nice
And don't forget to fake a smile
Dress well
Looks nice
Surrender you life
It's a pain
It's a hassle
Carrying everyday like this
Rotting away for the half of a dime
Barely asleep every night
Never be late
Playing the game
They all look the same
No well
No nice
No more smiles
I've had enough
This is my last straw
These are my last days
Fucked by the coffee crowd.

THE BURDEN
02:54
|
|||
Reduced to nothing
This "conflict"
Endless bloodshed for no purpose
Will you refuse the profit?
Do you really long for endings?
If you pick your scabs, make sure they're stitched shut
Otherwise it's no fun
Otherwise it's on you
Otherwise it's on you
This feeling of resentment
It's all you're fault
This feeling of resentment
It's all you're doing
If an engine burns
It's on the driver to die with it
It's on you
Driver
The burden
Mending broken bones.
