On the margins
03:32
|
|||
The instant I entered this place, I wanted to leave
I didn't want to learn anything...at least not there
But if I didn't I would never leave
My only recourse was drawing on the margins....
On the margins, on silver lines
Drawing on the margins, saving some of my mind
No matter how well the teacher told I was doing, it never felt right
No sense of accomplishment
I was just glad the day was over and could go home....from this slow clock
My only recourse was drawing on the margins.....drawing on.....
On the margins, on silver lines
Drawing on the margins, saving some of my mind
And the bell rings and it's a jailbreak!! For our ALLOTTED free time.
Walked home, read stories warning us of the "crazy ones" who happened to end up drawing on the margins....

Made the grade, we graduate, twelve years of conditioning
Intuition will fuel this fling!
No more mundane yellow bus
Tonight we vent, tonight we crush
Twelve years of conditioning
Intuition will fuel this fling
What did they get us ready for? What did they get us ready for?
Made the grade, we graduate
Made the grade, we graduate
What did they get us ready for?
What did they get us ready for??
What did they get us ready for???
What did they get us ready for????
What do we do now?

Throwaway
01:51
|
|||
A vehicle designed for speed stuck in a clotted artery
Wears me out, drags me down, face pointed to the ground
Day after day, more of the same
Arrive each time and never know why
Day after day, whittled away
Until they decide I'm a throwaway
A human designed to explore stuck in a box and glued to the floor
It's hurry hurry hurry faster faster faster
Type this, print this, ship this YESTERDAY!!
Day after day, whittled away
Until they decide I'm a throwaway
Day after day, job after job
Nothing ever fits, I'm a throwaway
Is it me or is this world insane?
Heads always looking down. NOT JUST ME.
Day after day, whittled away
Until they decide I'm a throwaway
Day after day, job after job
Nothing ever fits, I'm a throwaway
Coming home, thank god for these musical instruments of mine
Keeps my intuition alive.....

First Step Out
04:17
|

Saw buildings fall then saw nothing
A magnifying glass in my hand I'm told to put away
My little voices.....comply
Little voices in the back row of my mind gather a whispering chorus
Warning something isn't right
But they're pushed aside
The clouds continue to gather....clouds in my mind.
Never been darker or thicker
I have little idea or skills or OVERVIEW
So I accept the established premise...of the projected "experts"
I -
I want-
I want to know-
I want to know WHY!!!!!!!!
I know there's a larger world out there!
There's a larger world....out there!!
OUT THERE!!!!!!!!!
I'm outta here!! It's out there!!!

Waterfalls
05:07
|

I'm going away friend for a long long time
The Why's gonna take awhile 'cause it's all so new to me
Waterfalls so fast and clean
Everywhere it seems to me
Invigorates me, quite an ethereal scene
Deja Vu, it's everywhere I look
Coming into view
Everywhere I look is Deja Vu
Happily out of breath again with each intended step
What a great place this is to learn about the world
Waterfalls so fast and clean as I move further further away
Everything seems to invigorate and it's quite an ethereal scene
Now WHERE HAVE I BEEN?
Deja Vu, it's everywhere I look
Coming into view
Everywhere I look is Deja Vu
Waterfalls.......Waterfalls.......

Pours and Pours In
03:53
|

I'm seeing more and more through tiny cracks in the wall
They're forming more and more, these tiny cracks in the wall
They're showing more and more what I never knew before
Bringing out the dormant thoughts as it opens more and more
Making room for a funnel cone to be placed in the cracks in the stone
Want more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more......
At first in drips and drips and then it pours and pours
But still thirst for more and more and more and more and more.........
more and more (pours and pours)...........................................
All the ways to peace
All the ways to war
All the ways to peace, all the ways to war
Everything between and more and more and more and more and more........pours..........pours.....
I feel all alone......
As I fall to the floor

Disillusionment
03:00
|
|||
I used to think that the dim sun was oddly beautiful
Until I found out what it really was
I used to think that all institutions were there to serve us
Until I found out what they really are
This stage of disillusionment is mostly complete
But I still struggle with discerning what is truly real and what is not
Time to retire the box of moving images
Which took us from the forest to isolated space
And the only back is through disillusionment
Back to the forest
Time to reconnect (through disillusionment back to the forest)
I used to think that the dim sun was oddly beautiful

Downward Maelstrom

They defend - the DOWNWARD MAELSTROM
to the end - the DOWNWARD MAELSTROM
They defend - the DOWNWARD MAELSTROM
They defend it to the end
With fury, cunning and cutthroat secrecy
and needless artificial complexity
Inspired by outdated philosophy
Gives them all the excuses they need
They defend - the DOWNWARD MAELSTROM
to the end - the DOWNWARD MAELSTROM
They defend - the DOWNWARD MAELSTROM
They defend it to the end
And down and down and down, down, down it churns
Reinforced by psychopathic spurn
Noisy propaganda drowns out all concerns
Generations indoctrinated and down and down and down it churns
It churns...........

A Whistleblower
02:56
|

....this will be my last communication......
.......suffice it to say........
........ it's not so much a resignation but in actuality it's a disappearance.....
...just an exercise......
.......a drill....
....just a plain message here.......
........no cryptonyms, no codes.........
..........was on a need to know basis.........
........just follow this protocol........
Before I knew it I saw buildings fall
I will have no part of this deception anymore
I'm not retiring, I'm disappearing

Hey, Tyranny manipulating us again
And knockin down knockin down our dignity
Hey, Tyranny repeating history again
And knockin down knockin down our liberty
All we have to do is break and cut the strings
All we have left is junk to set us free
Reallocate the scrap, liberate our minds
All we have to do is break and cut the strings
We're waking up, we're waking up
We're walking off the grid
We're off the grid
It's breaking down, it's breaking down
It's coming down

Paradise

This place could be a paradise
if we want to, if we want to (if we want to, if we want to)
This place could be a paradise
if we want to, if we want to (if we want to, if we want to)
The cutthroats rain down their fear
and all your ideas were put on the shelf
All the solutions have been suppressed
Just take the first step, take the leap......then......
This place could be a paradise
If we want to, if we want to
This place could be a paradise
If we want to, if we want to
Manifest the dreams you've had
The love, the beauty, the harmony
Don't let the psychopaths run your mind
Make your mind, your heart free
FREE!!!!!!
This place could be a paradise (when the fear is shot down)
If we want to, if we want to (when the fear is shot down)
This place could be a paradise (when the fear is shot down)
If we want to, if we want to (when the fear is shot down)
When the fear is shot down
When the fear is shot down
When the fear is shot down
When the fear is shot down
When the fear is shot down
When the fear is shot down
When the fear is shot down.....we.......will be.............
FREE!!!!!!!!!
This place could be a paradise

Truth Mosaic
05:22
|

Scattered fragments, the end result of an empire run on lies
Misallocation strewn across the destitute land
Their script has run its course
So glad I did not follow it
Fraying wires and fraying minds
The last of willful ignorance is shed
But the pieces remain
and the know-how remains
Amongst those who survived
The pieces remain
The know-how remain
We can now put it all together
This time without lies
This time without secrets
Piece by piece together with peace
It forms as one a mountain high
A Truth Mosaic stronger than.....
Stronger than the sum of its parts
A Truth Mosaic.......
Consciousness raised
A foundation set
Now we're ready for.......now we're ready for.............
........Etherealization
