Goliath 03:45
Deer in the streets Kings of quiet land. Where coughs are bombs And poison’s on each hand! Moats full, full and deep the drawbridge raised.
 How long can the castles keep all the shadow clouds away? This time, This reckoning, Spreads its silence, This crop we now reap is a quiet violence!

Ghost Town 03:52
This used to be where kids played This used to be where days felt safe This used to be where lights stayed on We’d stay up all night to embrace the dawn Now it’s home to ghosts roaming around Host to shadows drowned on the ground In the eerie silence you can hear Storm clouds that boomed last year This used to be where we ate This used to be where we went on a date This used to be where teachers taught This used to be where we tried not to get caught What good’s a memory if it’s cloaked in pain When all the people go no telling what remains This used to be home Now it’s a Ghost Town This used to be home Now no one’s around

The Machine 04:38
A king in a castle Perched on a bluff Thought life was a hassle. “Enough is enough!” paid all his people To make him a machine That cleaned out his dreams and kept his night clean. The machine decreed and ended crime. told him clever jokes and told him when to smile. It caught him a fair queen Using witty lines for bait It let him live a dream for years. But one day The king called a meeting and met with his priest spoke to the people and said, “Keep the peace.” But the first baby died by the time the king spoke The cow with black milk Had poisoned their hopes The machine broke It leaked its smoke Like an autumn breeze Trees lost their leaves The rivers slowed and life felt loaned Return to the days When the machine hummed When the king was kind Like the world had just begun. The pitchforks were rusty When they met the king’s skin. The people tried to reclaim All that their lives had been Bankrupt nearsighted men can’t set the bar for us!

We went from a few to a billion, we’re what we’ve always been. We want to grow forever, we live how we’ve always lived We are the virus! Dried blood under our fingernails, we point and scream and chug our beer on a mountain of gold and coal, we chant “save the world with us!” We are the virus! Like grass we grow toward the sun, but the plains don’t wait for rain Like a virus that kills its host, we’ll burn out and turn to ghosts. We are the virus!

From the darkness came the dust Maybe that’s why I feel so strange sometimes Like the wind can blow me away sometimes. From that dust came the seas Maybe that’s why I feel so weird sometimes. Like I’m swimming backwards sometimes. Maybe that’s why you make me feel so alive. From the seas came the birds and bees. Maybe that’s why I wanna fly away sometimes. Maybe that’s why I catch a buzz sometimes. Maybe that’s why you make me feel so alive. Maybe that’s why I see me in you sometimes. Maybe that’s why We’re fixed on the same vine. Maybe that’s why you make me feel so alive.

Pandemonium 03:34
I can run, I can run, but you need to walk I can run, I can run, but you need to crawl! My dreams in the air, my worth on my sleeves Shut your mouth, shut your mouth and go to hell! Shut your mouth, shut your mouth so I can yell! Pandemonium possibilities. Stuck in time, never changing, stuck in time said our founding fathers, stuck in time My dreams in the air, my worth on my sleeves So let me be free in my fog but chain the breeze! So let me be free in my fog it’s a fragile peace! Pandemonium possibilities. Everyone is free to freak the fuck out! Everything is fake unless I feel it NOW!

I got so much on my mind Laying in this grass Feeling like I got a boulder A boulder for a brain Looking up at the clouds meandering past Only seeing rain Only seeing rain Only seeing rain Only seeing rain Well I don’t make enough and I owe too much. How did I end up here? How did I end up here? Looking up at the sound meandering past. I got a 9-to-5 That’s kinda feeling like A 24/7 A 24/7 kind of deal. But I got the mist on the river I got the moss hanging off the trees. The sunsets on fire I got everything I need.

When the cold wind blows, the mirrors sheen explodes, Cracks laid bare see how these fuckers “care”? Thinking its darkest before the dawn assumes the sun will come along. When is “hope” another word for the dreams of the dumb? Like an echo, the chime of past crimes Hear it bellow! Hear it bellow! When everything shines too long it blinds. Houses of cards start feeling fine. Everything looked great from a mile high but how our eyes deceive! Down here the taste is sour of the poison pills they leave behind. I’ve got a dream achieved! Manifested destiny! Like an echo, the chime of past crimes Hear it bellow! Hear it bellow! When everything shines too long it blinds. Houses of cards start feeling fine. Now I hope that you can see I’m living exceptionally! Sometimes it's easy to seize too easy as you’ll see, So, we’ll take as we please infinitely! Like an echo, the chime of past crimes Hear it bellow! Hear it bellow! When everything shines too long it blinds. Houses of cards start feeling fine.

...and another thing I’d like to sell You,
 I’d give it freely but You wouldn’t believe Me. That was that but We can keep it going,
 it’s here, We’re clear, We really want to!
 Please allow 10 business days to process this information. We got what You need to stand up for Yourself! You want more? We got more. We need to feed. Order now, cut it down, stack it up. You want more? We got more. We need to feed. 
 Order now, cut it down, stack it up. Equality 7-2521 by candlelight, the form is all You find. Babylon speak riddles in the dark, to Hermit or to Hearth: They come, They come find You.
 So give the breast a rest for once, listen to the Othered Ones, dissipate the megatons, while You can! MANIFEST EMPATHY
