The Gravity

Times are bad even worse than you think

But you are the problem not the missing link

It’s time to shut up and define what is fact

No more untruths now its time to act

        The gravity of it all, the consequential fall

                Your heroes are zeros

                Your politics is rhetoric

                Your faith is unsafe

                Your beliefs cause grief

                Your evil

Time is finite beyond our demands

We are minutia like ash in the sand

Lost in our circle as we chant and dance

All we have is time to deny our circumstance

                    He talks a lot but doesn’t say anything

                    She talks a lot but doesn’t say anything

Yesterday Ain’t What It Used To Be

        Yesterday ain’t what it used to be

        Tomorrow will never be the same    

The growing divide between you and me

The lines we draw in the sand  

It will take time to find that bridge

A place for us to meet somewhere in the middle

                We are running out of time to save all life

                If we start today we might just survive

                To save the future we have to fix the past

                I came here to tell you today may be your last

Pretend we are still here in the past

Even if just time to take off your mask

If we could meet near where we used to be

We could talk about the things we used to believe

                    Free dumb people don’t know what to do

                    Just looking for answers from a broken truth

                    Free dumb people drag my flag on the ground

                    Pulling the triggers that are still unsound

Somewhere Lost in The Universe

I knew from the start I couldn’t save you

But I had to try to keep that sparkle in your eye  

You’ll never know what I gave you

And that’s okay, only wanted to bridge the divide

        Feels like we’re falling, feels like we’re falling 

        Feels like we’re falling, falling off the planet

                Look at what we found

                Together lost together bound

                Our twisted fate so unprofound,

                Somewhere lost in the universe

                Look at what we lost

                Forever gone the infinite cost

                Memories of a holocaust

                Somewhere lost in the universe

I‘m just a man with no plan for you

And no idea how my execution will land

I’m not your hero with powers to protect

I’m not the villain nor the saviour that you planned

                        Remnants of a future war

                        Perpetuate the crime

                        Falsehoods of a final score

                        Unresolved over time

                        Remnants of a torture church

                        Perpetuate the strife

                        Falsehoods they never search

                        Unresolved after life

                Look at what we’ve done

                Don’t look surprised don’t look so stunned

                You live by the sword and you die by the gun

                Somewhere lost in the universe

                Look at where we are

                Orbiting this tiny star

                Struggling to find our worth

                Somewhere lost in the universe

Artificial Intelligence

Tell me what it is you want me to do

Tell me how to vote and I’ll vote for you

Show me where to sign and I’ll sign right now

Show me where it says you got the know how

Tell me please if I step out of turn

Tell me what i need and what I need to learn

Show me enemies and friends to hate

show me my lot and my chosen fate 

        You’re on the wrong side of history

        You 'll be at home in misery

                Hello people please rise to your feet

                It’s time to take your sacrificial defeat

                Ignorance is no self defence

                Artificial intelligence

Tell you what it is that i want you to do

Tell you how it is and what is the truth

Show you where to sign and you’ll sign right now

Show you where to stop, what to do and how

Tell you sharp if you step out of turn

Tell you what you need and what you need to learn

Show you enemies and friends to hate

Show you the keys and your poisoned fate

Invisible Wounds

Prisoner of the past you’re running out of gas

Prisoner of the past your time is coming fast

    If you really want to understand me

    You will have to see what’s deep inside

    If you really want to understand me

    You will have to let go of your pride

        There are invisible wounds that you cannot see 

        There are transparent scars that inevitably define me

Prisoner of the pain you’re losing your own game

Prisoner of the pain you’re lost in your shame

        If I really want to show it to you

        It will have to take some painful time

        If I really trust your true intentions

        Maybe your pain is as real as mine

                        Life’s tattoos where there is no ink

                        Battered and bruised and on the brink

Our Last Goodbye

There is nowhere left to run

Nowhere you can hide

You stage your pain locked in your brain

Lost in the abyss of your beautiful mind

        Maybe we have said our last goodbye

        No final embrace, no lasting smile

        If I’d known it was our last goodbye

        I would have said something bold and wise

There is nothing left to say

No more words to speak

I remember you and things you’d do

As we float apart in our own universe

        Maybe we have said our last goodbye,

        No final embrace, no lasting smile

        If I’d known it was our last goodbye

        I would have said something bold and wise

There is no one left to blame

You’re the last player in the game

We share the same glass full of shame

We’re so far apart only the silence remains

The Precipice

They built a bomb to win a war

Then they built ten thousand more

They built a chip to do the math

That put us on this narrow path 

Fear for the future of humanity

Succumb to the risk of catastrophe 

What is the measure of this moral bluff

You never know if you ever have enough

        The time is now for you (4x)

                Are we driving off the cliff

                Waiting for the lateral shift

                Opportunities that we missed

                On the precipice

On the climb the pitch is steep

Until we fall off into the deep

Earth fell away beneath our feet

We never win in self defeat

Falling with no fall arrest

With no safeguards to protect

Past the point of no return

Will be too late for us to learn

Enemies

The inequality is treacherous

From the old money elitists

They tell you if you work hard you can make it

Spend your life just chasing a paycheque 

        It’s all about the money and the powerful man

        You’re just another pawn in his masterful plan

        He’s working hard to keep you distracted and dumb

        So he’s telling you he’s fighting for god and a gun

                Eye to eye we’ll never be

                Doesn’t make us enemies

                Even if we disagree

                Doesn’t make us enemies

                Live your life and c’est la vie

                Doesn’t make us enemies

                Even if you think you’re free

                Doesn’t make us enemies

They want us fighting each other

They use our differences to agitate

To keep us fearful and angry

So they continue to dominate

                Don’t agree what you believe

                Doesn’t make us enemies

                Even if it’s blasphemy

                Doesn’t make us enemies

QED

        How do you know if what you believe

        Is really the truth or QED

I can see the tears well in your eyes

From the stupid guys and their stupid fuckin’ lies

That should come as no surprise

With your freedom in demise and your soul-less compromise

                The only truth is science based

                Not aloof in a twisted faith

                There is no proof of a master race

                Just the goof of a stupid hate

                Only the facts without the spin

                The mathematical acumen

                No one faith will ever win

                Only those who inherit the wind

If we could sow even just one seed

We could weed out the greed from the politician’s creed

If we could thwart and avoid this cosmic curse

Trouble your thirst and bubble your burst

Obvious Mystery

My old friend we never said what we should have

We had the chance instead we let it linger

      You sit and watch as your world burns

      Your temper flares as you wait your turn

      Your loose grip on hope is still lessening

      Kick and scream but your silence is deafening

              I am not the person you think that I ought to be

              I could be the best if you had a little faith in me

              I am not the person you thought that I ought to be

              I could be the answer, your obvious mystery

So I’m saying it now we both made some mistakes

And I know I hurt you but I was lost and hurt too

Omega

And you can’t resist to throw your fist

And you can’t escape your brutal hate

And you can’t deny your truthless lie

Even though your anger puts us all in danger

        What did you neglect, what did you suspect 

        What did you expect would happen 

        When you punched through and had no proof 

        No facts or truth, just the guilt and remorse

                Where does it end, what can I do

                Where does it end, what can I do

                        Where has the hope all gone

                        Who has done you wrong

                        Where has the hope all gone

                        Was this your chosen outcome

Impetus

We have to suspend our disbelief 

If we ever want to see our sweet release

        And if you and I can’t get along

        What chance does the world have of surviving 

        And if you and I can’t even speak

        Then nothing will stop the fighting 

We have to suspend our disbelief 

Long enough to expel our grief 

We have to share our rights and beliefs 

If we ever want to see our sweet release

Rabbit Hole

You might deny that there was an attack

But we all know it’s a proven fact

So your alibi will soon collapse

You can’t deny when you see the playback

        I don’t care about you

        What you think and what you do

        ‘Cause you are the worst

        It's always me first

        I don’t care about you

        What you think and what you do

        It’s always me first

             Going down the rabbit hole with no aim or goal

             Going down the rabbit hole dragging your flag pole

Coup D’Etat

Hello inhabitants of this vessel that you call earth

Your neglect has sabotaged your very own rebirth

Your fragile existence is coming to its end

From the dereliction that you could not suspend 

        She gave you life but you didn’t protect her 

        She gave you a home but you didn’t respect her

        She gave you treasures beyond your conception 

        The coup d’état of your blind insurrection

Your greed and ignorance divided by insanity

Now you own the death of life, the end of humanity

                Oooo when it’s all too late now

Blind Faith

You look so lost so rundown

Who do you trust and let compound

Why do you care if its not true

What’s unfair is up to you

        Fight for rights and grill beliefs

        Talk ignites the dream of peace

                Your blind faith has led you astray

                It will not save you on judgement day

                There is no hero coming to your aid

                So take stock in your good deeds each day

Those who go without have no voice

Your selfish clout is your own choice

But be warned of what you choose

Those who scorn have the most to lose

                Your blind faith has defined your fate

                It is what binds us in holy hate

                If love is truly the common trait

                The only path is to educate

Say what you want while you can

When freedom dies in your cruel hands

All For Not

I ran away but no one came

Swinging on a tire out in the rain

The crying boy alone in the outfield

The childhood trauma that never healed

Ridiculed in my hand me downs

Put on a cross to applauding sounds

Only I will know the whole story

If I lose my anonymity

        The world is a mess I’m at peace with my departure 

        This nagging regret that I couldn’t push it further

        I didn’t think that I could stop the pain

        Just the hope that I could make a change

        But now it goes beyond my time

        To know if my machination touched the divine 

        Or will these words be lost and forgot

        Was it pertinent, relevant or all for not

I think I have failed what I needed to do

I failed my children and family too

My message of hope was never heard

I knew from the start but was undeterred

The weight of the world was too much to lift

The message in a bottle has been set adrift

Our only hope now is a cosmic shift

To avoid our self imposed apocalypse

         

The power or right to act, speak or think without restraint
