Alone With Each Other

We could develop a new way of thinking
To disempower the pain inside
Locked up so long
Wasting away
Feeling a longing and never knowing
When we would start to believe
We could call this living
Locked up so long
Wasting away
Feeling a longing and never knowing
How this would end
Let us start to believe
We're not alone we have each other
This time don't throw it all away
We're not alone we have each other
Not gonna waste another day
We're not alone we have each other
Reach out and give yourself away
We're not alone we have each other
Opening up and reaching out
Open up, reaching out
We define the value of life
With a system so flawed
Set aside the cycles and strife
A template to survive
Overshadows a beautiful dance
That moves on when we die
When this body meets the soil
Still the atoms resonate
Still the atoms keep on moving
Still the atoms resonate

Bitch fest, total mess
I'm gonna milk that goat 'til it kicks my head
Hanging out with the butterflies
I never get nervous and I don't know why
I'm gonna be what I'm gonna be
Even if it turns out a catastrophe
Pennies saved 'til you fill up your urn
Chew the virus and feel the burn
We'll bring them all down
Down
People people everywhere
People people never care
What if we've got so much time?
Turkey in the cart and time to grind
People see what they wanna believe
You gotta open up your heart and let yourself see
We'll bring them all down
We're gonna bring them fucking down
We're gonna bring 'em down
I know what I need
What I'll be
What I'm here for
I know what I need
What I'll be
What I'm fucking doing here
I know what I need
What I'll be
What I'm here for
Yeah

Caring Song

So much talk with little response
I'm not sure if you're hearing
Creeping thoughts have started to haunt
Guess I'll talk to myself
Whisked away
Brazen, lazy, misplaced joy
Shut in and terrified, useless boy
Beating yourself up, lick the wounds
Beating yourself up and trusting too soon
It's a state of mind to neglect what we love
It's a waste of time to regret what we've done
Listen closely, write it all down
Down
Sinking slowly, no words
Don't make a sound
I don't care what you say and
You don't care what I say and
We don't care what they say and
They don't care what we say
I care what you don't say
I care what you don't see
I care what you don't do
I care what you don't be
I

Better War
02:59

We tend to bicker, we tend to whine
We carry on for years like we've got plenty of time
World explodes, episodes
Text your gods and let 'em know
"I deserve better, I deserve more"
Misheard prayers and mixed up thoughts
I'm not a scholar, I'm just a man
I got a feeling there's so much we don't understand
World explodes, episodes
Text your gods and let 'em know
"I deserve better, I deserve more"
Misheard prayers and mixed up thoughts
We need a better war
Not like the one we've fought so long
We need a better war
Aiming our thoughts upon ourselves
We need a better war
Turns out we don't really need, really need
We need a better war
We've been through so much shit
You think we'd learn from it
We need a better war
Not like the one we've fought so long
We need a better war
Aiming our thoughts upon ourselves
We need a better war
Turns out we don't really need war
Don't Need War

Burning Questions
04:10

Thinking of truth and times that I've lied
Mostly to self but maybe, don't know
Reach into heart and make a good noise
Move into Self and make it sound bigger, better
Wouldn't you like to know what you're like
To all those who don't have to be you?
Wouldn't you like a cookie or Sprite?
Some kind of gift for all you've done
Coming to ya
Make your shirt into a basket
(Maybe if I scream loud I'll explode)
Stockpile every tender morsel
Sometimes you've gotta sit
And inquire seriously
Ask yourself those burning questions
Everyone's too scared to say:
What is it like as a broom or a mop?
What have you learned how to cook in your life?
What if you weren't such a dumb piece of shit?
What if I died and the world turned out better, better?
Make your bed into a casket
(Maybe if I scream loud I'll explode)
Worms think you're a tender morsel
They're all feeding now
They're all feeding now
We're gonna drop this down
'Cause on a somewhat serious note
We've got a lot to change
And little time to do it in
I've spent a pretty huge chunk of my life
Listening to protest songs
Meanwhile, I've been punching a clock
A good cog, a citizen
I guess the fear of not providing for my family
Was a hidden shame I never wanted to feel
So I worked today and I'll do it tomorrow
And at night I'll write songs about change
I will not participate in your system of hate
I will wait until the time is right
But inaction breeds the pain
You and I have claimed to loathe
Will we ever make the move ourselves?
Yeah
