I don’t know where to go but I’m making my escape The sun is shining but I can’t make out any shapes The colors are running, it’s much too fast to see I can feel the hands grabbing but no one’s catching me I’m running back because I think I’ve gone too far It’s not a place to reach even in the fastest car I got to travel back, find something that was lost Gonna feel just like it was no matter what the cost I wanna go back I wanna go back home I wanna go back back where I belong It’s time to push ahead but I left it all behind I got to open my eyes for whatever I might find But I remember what it was, I saw it in my sleep And there’s still work to do and promises to keep

Good Friends 04:57
I should be feeling something more than I am today It’s like I’m just an actor in someone else’s play Let’s open our eyes and stop ourselves right away I think that you just might be feeling the exact same way You don’t have to say that you love me Because I know that you don’t even mean it Let’s just be good friends We’re at a turning point and it’s time to decide If we’re gonna take it any further or just turn the tides It’s obvious to me that we’ll never be satisfied But let no one say we didn’t give it the old college try You don’t have to say that you love me Because I know that you don’t even mean it Let’s just be good friends It’s not a mark upon ourselves, nothing to answer for There’s no need to be embarrassed, no one’s keeping score Neither one conceded victory, for this is not a war And we should help each other set sail for fairer shores Let’s preserve our dignity lest we become a tortured rose Coz we both know in this world there’s way too many of those

I woke up this morning and I’m lying all alone There’s something very wrong with me and I can feel it in my bones I refuse to play this game of life with the cards I’ve been dealt I know I’ll never love myself unless I am somebody else There’s no need to check your prescription exaggerate a little fiction Embrace your favorite affliction and dance your way out of your constriction There’s nobody that can stop me baby - I’m an automatic fox You’re gonna see what only I’ve been able to see Only the truth inside will set me free - I’m an automatic fox You’re gonna see what I’ve been hiding deep inside of me 2-3-4-5-6-7-8 I’m an automatic fox The tail is growing longer from right between my legs I feel the burning hunger it’s no use to try and beg Now the fur is turning colors I just can’t stop it now Why go against your nature? Don’t wanna stop it anyhow There’s no need to check your prescription exaggerate a little fiction Embrace your favorite affliction and dance your way out of your constriction There’s nobody that can stop me baby - I’m an automatic fox You’re gonna see what only I’ve been able to see Only the truth inside will set me free - I’m an automatic fox You’re gonna see what I’ve been hiding deep inside of me 2-3-4-5-6-7-8 I’m an automatic fox OwO OwO OwO What’s this?

I’m sorry, was there something that I missed? Somebody is yelling and they’re really pissed All I did is sneak a little kiss And now I feel a barrage of fists Well it feels like it’s your birthright And it’s only natural to put up a fight I’m sick of hiding myself in plain sight We’re past the point of being polite I never stuck my head between your sheets I’ve no designs to appropriate your seat I never once threatened your fatherland Why should I change to meet your demands? I never stole your dinner from your plate I never wished to be the object of your hate No man can invalidate another man I don’t understand (I’m taking a stand) (Fuck your demands) I was only holding hands Feels like we’ve been singing the same song Never thought we’d be singing it for so long Better check your privilege cos it’s not wrong To want something you’ve enjoyed all along You will never change my pedigree With your ruthless religious bigotry Yes we can just agree to disagree Just as long as you have the same rights as me

They’re in your TV They’re on your phone They’ll have your blind faith And you ain’t alone They’re in your family What’s near and dear They know your rage And what you fear They come for your burgers and your apple pie They come for your votes while you stand by They come for your daughter (Chuck) and they come for your sons They’ll have your loyalty before they’re done You don’t have to run You don’t have to fight You just have to dance And rock all night Get you some vodka Now drink it up If you ain’t had enough Get a bigger cup They want your babies They want your car They’ve got your money They gave it to the Tsar They want your Jesus They want your name They run your politics Like it’s a game They fire your emotions and your baser needs Let out your inner animal and see where it leads Just let out your rage and let your flag fly proud Have faith in all your leaders and let’s all get plowed You don’t have to run You don’t have to fight You just have to dance And rock all night Get you some vodka Now drink it up You ain’t had enough Bottoms up! Well they played you like a fiddle because they know your tone Your voice of doubt is loudest when you’re all alone They divide you by numbers while you fight your fellow man While you’re running round in circles without a plan They fire your emotions and your baser needs Let out your inner animal and see where it leads Just let out your rage and let your flag fly proud Have faith in all your leaders and let’s all get plowed You don’t have to run You don’t have to fight You just have to dance And rock all night Get you some vodka Now drink it up You ain’t had enough Here we go again!

We all feel it in our bones and far too long we’ve known We’ll have to eat the terrible seeds we’ve sown We pray that our hero appears and they somehow persevere And god will sort it all out so we don’t have to fear But as forests burn for beef to feed insatiable teeth And the rain washes away to the sand underneath As our prayers go unheard entwined our fates interred Smoke fills your lungs and you breathe your last word Maybe god will save your soul? Well the war demons grow near and the diplomats hide in fear As the masses drown in sorrows the machine sheds no tears And we pray the men will do right and will suddenly see the light And god will bless our forces and we’ll win the fight As the rockets devour the sky the children shriek and cry No one can hide from the fire no matter how they try As our prayers go unheard entwined our fates interred The sword splits your throat and you breathe your last word Maybe god will save your soul? Well the stores record their last sale and the seeds wither and fail Our bold schemes and designs come to no avail And we pray that the flowers will bloom but the end of the season looms And god will bless our crops and spare us from doom But as fungus devours our fields and kills the smallest of yields And your hunger shows you just how far you can kneel As our prayers go unheard entwined our fates interred Starvation steals your body and you breathe your last word Maybe god will save your soul? Well the lands are barren and used destroyed and fatally bruised Our complete and total failure cannot be excused And we pray that the fruits return for the lesson we finally learned Please give us another chance before the last of it burns But as the last few creatures die without even knowing why The last man’s lust for greed could not be satisfied As our prayers go unheard entwined our fates interred As people eat your flesh and you breathe your last word Maybe god will save your soul? And as we all sit back and observe and no one can get up the nerve We will all succumb to exactly the fate we deserve We must all be swift and bold and stop our quest for gold Because beyond our delicate Earth there is nothing but cold Only we can save our souls.

You look at it, you taste it You don't like it, you can't erase it You ignore it, it doesn't stop it You can burn it all, but you can't take it with you You try it hide it but it doesn't go away The things you do and the things you say You can move yourself way up on the hill You'll never get high enough to get your fill Your benevolence is trickling down I can see it in the fires burning 'round town You say this is all for prosperity's sake I don't know how much more of this I can take You'll always find tools to scream To wave the signs and cheer your team They think they'll all be rich one day But the rabbit always keeps one step away You need us more than we need you You believe all the that lies you say are true The world will just keep spinning apace Without your perfect shining face You look at it, you taste it You don't like it, you can't erase it You ignore it, it doesn't stop it You can burn it all, but you can't take it with you You're looking for yourself But you won't find anything No you won't find anything You won't find anything You. will. never. ever. make. us. go. away.

I don’t know if you’ve noticed but something’s very wrong I hardly hear the birds singing anymore I’m waiting for the forest to give another breath But we might have already heard the last one yet After decades of ruthless continuous abuse All our best computer models disgracefully fail No one can predict the weather anymore And we haven’t the faintest clue of what’s in store We don’t have the means to see what we’ve done We’ll never have the knowledge to fully comprehend I fear it’s far worse than we can predict And everything might be far beyond what we can fix It’s always been our greatest disgrace Our most precious lands and brilliant life Guarded by those least willing to protect Poached and pillaged until nothing is left No it wouldn’t bother me because it’s what we deserve If we alone perished by our own hands But we’ll take everything on Earth with us as we all fall After us there will be nothing left at all I want to do something but I’m swaddled by fear As I hope beyond hope that it won’t affect me here We cannot replace what we have lost But if we don’t do everything no matter the cost… All bets are off
