MICROCOSM SHIT
Each morning I wake up
And I make myself some coffee
Drink down the blackness to shake off my bad dreams
I won’t let the mood set in, won't let it steep
I'm lucky to feel anything
In the age of the screens
Turn on the tele for my dose of brain candy
Flip on the news for my dose of brain brandy
The news today doesn't seem all that new anyway
In the blink of an eye, we'll all die - at least that's what they always say
So lace up your shoes
And turn your brain on
Show the world your love
Before what we got is all gone
I may be crying
But laughing sounds the same
The world may be dying
But I’m sure, yes I'm sure, that we’ll all be okay
And I hope that my spirit doesn't drown in the drama
Like that microcosm shit, like you forgot a fucking comma
I've found the only way to survive this raging fire
Is to make your whole life one big fucking satire
I know it's a privilege to breathe this clean air
But if that's a fucking privilege then our rights don't means shit in deciding what's even fair
So bridge gaps with your enemies
And dance without fame
Give meaning to your life
Before we all go insane
I may be crying
But laughing sounds the same
The world may be dying
But I’m sure, yes I’m sure, that we'll all be okay
Aaaayyyyy aaaayyyyy ayyyyyyy

EARTHLINGS
I don't know if you can tell,
There's a fire in my heart
and it's coming for you
Even if you don't want it to
I don't know if you can tell
But this heart is gonna shake
So I'd watch my step
if I were you
I don't know if you'll be there
But this comet in my head
It's gonna orbit round and round and round
Orbit right into you!
I am the Earth
You are the Earthling
If I provide
I expect the same thing
I am the Earth
You are the Earthling
And if I die
You can expect the same thing
Now there you've gone and done it
Got me all choked up inside
And I feel a storm
Oh, it's coming on
I don't know if you can tell
You're gonna suffocate
If you don't change your ways
Change your ways, change your ways!
Oh, if you don't change...!
I don't know if you can tell
There's a mass extinction coming on
And I'll survive
But you? You won't!
I am the Earth
You are the Earthling
If I provide
I expect the same thing
I am the Earth
You are the Earthling
And if I die
You can expect the same thing
I don't know if you can tell…
I don't know if you can tell…
I don't know if you can tell

CUT THE CORD
My mind is blurring
reality's fabrications
Time is bending
with the mists and the wind
Breathing stale air
the black box speaks again
The conquest for space
is either ether or earth
You can claim it
in the name of some great link
And you will blame it
on a leader that lands while you sink
Are you forgetting?
Are you forgetting?
Are you forgetting
a life that you've never known?
Cut the cord of attachment
Cut the cord of attachment
Open the toolshed
You bring the power to what you do
What you got is numbered
Only by you
Cut the cord of attachment
Where do you fall?
Where do you stand?
If you know your limitations,
you will learn to walk hand in hand
Cut the cord of attachment
Cut the cord of attachment
Cut the cord of attachment
Cut the cord of attachment

MORNING IS BOUND THE COME
Morning is bound to come
But I don't wanna wake up
Oooh, I'll sleep in late and I'll take up some space
If I wake and yesterday's turned fake
Then I guess you'll break my heart
Oooh, I knew my roots dug deep from the start
Well you know what they say
When you got a heartbreak
It's like your dying day
so go out and find a new name
Oooo,oooo,oooo,oooo
Oooo,oooo,ooo,oooo
I gotta find a new name
So look at me I'm Sandra Dee
Why am I still in pain?
Oooh, I keep making the same damn mistakes
When emotions take over me
feels like I'm under the sea
And I got to dive deep
to find out from where they came
Oooo,oooo,oooo,oooo,oooo,ooooo,oooo
Ooooooh, where they came
I gotta find a new name
Ooooo
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey!

QUARANTINE SONG
Come with me
Maybe you'll see that there's another world inside my heart
Got to be quarantined
It's nothing new to feel so torn apart
Mass hysteria!
A broken system must respond while people buy away their problems
Don't want to be insensitive
but all the toilet paper in the world couldn't solve them
And yet...
One by one we line up
For toilet paper
One by one we line up
For hand sanitizer
One by one we line up
For paper towels
One by one we line up
For their last hours
One by one we line up
One by one we line up
I've been
So reliant on scientist's face that I've never seen
Not even their voices
Can overcome all the media's fear mongering
The people, black mirrors, attach
While the mirrors, idly, watch back
Will you beg or will you rise in flames?
Agitated, organizing, educate
The people, black mirrors, attach
While the mirrors, idly, watch back
Will you beg or will you rise in flames?
Agitated, organizing, educate
A mental war full-time
Without intention, prepare to lose your mind
And yet...
One by one we rise up
To help each other
One by one we rise up
To not pay the rent
One by one we rise up
To share resources
One by one we rise up
To commune and mend
One by one we rise up
To share resources
One by one we rise up
To not pay the rent
One by one we rise up
To help each other
One by one we rise up
To commune and mend
One by one we rise up
One by one we rise up
One by one we rise up
One by one we rise up
Come with me
Maybe you'll see that there's another world inside my heart

RED EYED ROBOT
Clock in, clock out
Time makes less doubt
But oh my god – I almost feel human
Lights on, lights off
I’m a red eyed robot
And oh my god – I almost feel human
I am always tired
'Cause I can never go to sleep
My veins are nothing but wires
And my heart beats on a screen
I never belonged here
But you just had to make me
You have always lived in fear that you are incompl--ete--ete--ete!
Briefcase, check please!
Caramel latte, and your car keys
Oh my creator – that is so human…?
Target, trouble shoot!
It’s war! Reboot boot boot!
Oh my god – I feel JUST LIKE a human!
I am always tired 'cause I can never go to sleep
I may be a red-eyed robot but there’s not much difference between you and me
I never belonged here but you made me what I am
When we look in the mirror, we both look like a program!
But oh my god – I almost feel human!

RESPECT THE RAGE
You, you make my eyes bleed
As I dig my dagger through Earth and Sky
I'm not always a peaceful being
With so much rage inside
I've got anger issues, tell me twice
I've got anger issues, tell me why
You can't believe
All that hate that's built in me
I keep it in my throat
And hold it there, hold it there, hold it there
And don't let go.
Respect, respect the Rage!
Respect, respect the Rage!
People dying, people killing
People talking about it
We all know it's never enough
Just to talk about it
Ya gotta act up, ya gotta
Grow some shit sometimes
Ya gotta act up, ya gotta get
Offline! Okay!
Okay, okay, okay
Okay, okay, okay,
Okay, okay okay,
Are ya, are ya?
Are ya, are ya?
Are you really, are ya…okay?
Respect, respect the Rage!
Respect, respect the Rage!
You can feel it building
Deep on down inside
You can feel it building
Deep down inside
You can feel it building
Deep down inside
You can feel it building
Deep down inside
You can feel it building, you can feel it building
You can feel it building deep down inside!
You can feel it building, you can feel it building, you can feel it building
DEEP DOWN INSIDE.
Respect,
Respect the Rage!
Respect, respect the Rage!

LIKE A WOLF
Hands keep crunching down
While wheels keep rolling round
I'm just a workin workin
for my satin pillows underground
Cogged up in the machine
Bossman's harassing me
They call this "relax industry"
That capitalistic irony
Working to pay to the rent
For money, my life's been spent
Thank god for sweet music
Give me that sweet music
This life is worth so much more
Then working for needs I can barely afford
So give me that music, don't you charge a fee
'Cause baby you know true beauty unfolds and it don't cost a thing
Wwooooooah
Cogged up in the machine
Fogged up mentality
Like a little red-eyed robot
This is where young dreams rot
Working to pay for school
For money, I am a fool
Give me that sweet music
I live for that sweet music
This life is worth so much more
Then working for needs I can barely afford
So give me that music, that sweet ol' tune
I'll make like a wolf, I'll be singing to the moon
Ow ow ow ow ow ow woooooo
