Imperfect and untrue
Knows nothing just like you
No power, no control
Unholy and unwhole
Up with the sun
Open eyes to a new dawn
Up with the sun
Left behind a broken body
And nobody in the world to hear my plea
Up with the sun
Shine a light on everyone
The sting of pain cuts through
The thought of losing you
Or have I lost myself
Or is it something else
Up with the sun
Open eyes to a new dawn
Up with the sun
Shine a light into this darkness
And nobody in the void to hear me scream
Up with the sun
Shine a light on everyone
Some become prisoners
Some become a judge
Some people still live here
Some of those still have a god
Alone in the hemisphere
Nothing left to see here
Up with the sun
Open eyes to a new dawn
Up with the sun
Left behind a broken body
And nobody in the void to hear me scream
Up with the sun
Shine a light on everyone
It shines a light on me
To let the darkness leave
It shines a light on you
To let the truth come through
Up with the sun

Let The Sunlight In
03:21
|
|||
|
1953 - 1961 - 1972 - 1985
A cheap motel is where the day begins
I crack the curtain to let the sunlight in
A pack of smokes and a fifth of gin
A list of names and where they’ve been
Fact or fiction
There are suspicions
But motivations
Bore the nation
Left for dead in the desert heat
A gibbous moon with shadows deep
Every dream is just fear disguised
Every life is just a mark of time
1953 - 1961 - 1972 - 1985

Paid Disappearance
02:11

I have a great desire
Cannot make it go away
A match to light this fire
Hold my ego to the flame
Served a data a miner
And I earned a good wage
Complicit with a liar
And complacent in my place
Now the stakes are higher
And I’m frozen in this frame
A match to light this fire
We’re all begging for a change
I have a great desire
I have a great desire
Can’t make it go away
A match to light this fire
Burned my ego on the flame

The New New Age
02:24
|
|||
|
Welcome to the new age
Yeah, welcome to the new new age
Looked at the numbers
Looked at the shapes
Looked at the research
And we looked at your habits
Then we burned the photographs
And the photographs of the photographs
And we photographed that
For the new new age
There are things to learn
And there are things to unlearn
In the new age
Yeah the new new age
Studied the video
We studied the faces
Studied the market
And we studied your habits
Logic interrupted
And leverage intercepted
Because language’s inefficient
In this new new age

Dogs on every corner
Biting at my heels
Teeth cut through like a razor
A scar that never heals
I know that you’re scared
But I’ll never know how you feel
I hesitate to compare
Because we all live our own lives
Dogs on every corner
Barking in their phones
Never give a straight answer
They won’t leave me alone
I know that you’re scared
And I’ll never know how you feel
I hesitate to compare
Because we all live our own lives
Fears go unanswered
Afraid and looking for control
Looking through a cracked mirror
A self prophecy unfolds
I know that you’re scared
I try to feel what you feel
I hesitate to compare
Because we all live our own lives
Our own fears to survive
Dogs can’t control me
I know that you’re scared
But I’ll never know how you feel
I hesitate to compare
Because we all live our own lives
Our own will to survive
We all live our own lives
Our own fears to survive
Every day is dark
Every night is heavy
Every corner sharp
Everyone keeps pushing me

Two lamps
One near, one far
Frame the room
Two camps
One here, one not
Shape the view
Two hands
One left, one right
Hold us tight
Two mouths
One full, one not
Fight to speak
Are you careless
Or care free
Are you fearless
Or free of fear
Are you dead
Or are you dying
Are you alive
Or are you living

Living Will
03:41
|
|||
|
At a cost we believe everything that we know
For a price we can sell it all even our soul
Living Will, set you free
You can take it all from me
Living will, in due time
Soon it all we become mine
Then the truth came out, left us both exposed
Held my heresy high while you held up your nose
Living Will, set you free
You can take it all from me
Living will, in due time
Soon it all we become mine
Came like a wave, we held on to it
Pushed like a child to let it go
I once held a belief and had to let it go
You invented your grief with no love to console
Living Will, set you free
You can take it all from me
Living will, in due time
Soon it all we become mine
Came like a wave, we held on to it
Pushed like a child to let it go
You can’t take it away, we’ll hold on to it
Pushed like a child you let it go
Let it go
Living Will, set you free
You can take it all from me
Living Will, follow me
Will this death now set us free
Living will, haunted me
For all eternity
Living will, in due time
Soon it all will become mine

What Is It Worth
03:47
|
|||
|
The biology of you
Self-obsessed
A dataset
The ontology of me
Fully regressed
Like a house-trained pet
An encyclopedia of signs
Sits on my shelf
A monument
An anthology of dreams
By my unmade bed
Like an inkblot test
What’s it worth?
What is this worth?
What’s it worth to you?

A repeating image
And a dream that haunts me
But you’re right beside me
Lying in our bed
Will you flaunt your worries
Like a badge of honor
In a ghostly body
I can feel your dread
And I will get fooled again
Oh oh oh oh
Have we lost our courage
Are we relearning
A wild combination
That needs to reset
Now some tide is turning
We’ve been underwater
Like a seahorse dancing
Twirling to impress
And I will get fooled again
Oh oh oh oh

Jump Into The Night
02:27
|
|||
|
You’re always ripped
You’re always torn
You tell your friends
You wish you’d never born
Then you jump into the night
You want purpose
You want “the truthâ€
But you will settle
For any excuse
To jump into the night

It Happens To You
03:41
|
|||
|
Too late to hold back
These opinions I keep track
Cut rate and relaxed
Motivation that you lack
Then it happens to you when you least expect it to
Got some attitude to lose
I believe that the light will reflect back on us
You defend poor decisions that were made
Hubris to retract
How you lie, distort the facts
No spine, your back
And no surprise from your attack
I believe that the light will reflect back on us
You defend poor decisions that were made
I intend to live with every consequence
You defend every single lie you said
Ever think the problem might be you?
Draw blood, exposed
Hide behind ignorance you sow
Thin skinned, so cold
Stood by the narrative you chose
Then it happens to you when you least expect it to
What else is left for you to lose
I believe that the light will reflect back on us
You defend poor decisions that were made
I intend to live with every consequence
You defend every single word you said
Ever think the problem might be you?
I believe that the light will reflect back on us
You defend poor decisions that were made
I intend to live with every consequence
You defend every single lie you said

You came to me
And you asked for a
Contribution
But I did not know
No I didn’t know it was for my
Execution
So I plead my case
Yeah I plead my case to the
Prosecution
Then I sat and hoped
I sat and hoped for a
Resolution
I’m not here
No I’m not here for
Retribution
And I don’t expect
No I don’t expect your
Absolution
Just a bit
Just a little bit of
Evolution
So I come to you
And I ask to
Please be human
Because everybody wants
All we want is
