Grave
Hold on put that down it's not a toy
Just please behave
Wait no come back you can't go in there
Are you insane
One of these days I hope
You listen to me
Startup version Seventeen point one
So sad I know
Blame yourself because you got too brave
Your ancestors have no patience left
To go rolling in their grave
Once more walk through the fire
And this time get it right

Sun Cycle
We're down to cups
While they got tankers in the bay
Not for the war but for the win
All waves and smiles and denials on parade
Cracking the whip til it breaks the skin
Still we don't obey
Are you blind from the bright lights
The busty girls out on fight night
How do they seem to exist at all
Watching as all that we know passes
Sweet and slow like molasses
Sweet and slow

Inheritance
Fine
You made your point
And now I'm making mine
But don't
Think you're off the hook
Cause you did your time
Gave up
On giving out
Why even bother now
It ain't
Your problem anymore
We'll deal somehow
When you're gone
So fine
We'll keep on pushing everything
Right to the end of the line
Delay
Like echoes every generation
Degenerates in kind
I don't cling to the past
Cause it fades like a warm sundown
And leaves us sleepless at night
While you bid us adieu

Tough Luck
What the hell
It don't make sense
To own a place
With just a fence
Like the world
Could not just stop
To shake us off
And move along
Who are
They to
Tell us
What we can do with
Our lives
Marching
Starving
Staring as they
Smash us right
Into the fray
Complacent to
A stubborn hate
Hold a gun
Or hold the wall
All for for one
And none for all
Who are
They to
Tell us
What we can do throughout
Our lives
Marching
Starving
Staring as they
Kill us
Just for
Being
Alive and say
Oh well
That's life
Tough luck

Quoting The Dead
Had me a crazy thought
Bout how the world should be
Too bad that I forgot
When you distracted me
So why'd I dig this hole
And what's with all these seeds
Oh well the well is dry
Too bad they won't grow up
To become trees
What's this talk of love
What's this speak of soul
That's not how I rock
That's not how I roll
Sometimes I get so numb
These days I hear that's cool
Sounds like a you problem
Only the young get to
Make up them rules

Constellation Prize
There was a time we did not know
But that's a hard pill to swallow
Packed everything ready to say
Hello
Set down a key and leave a note
Make an escape in a lifeboat
Build little towns on the moon
Wait and float
Yeah you could call it a lifestyle
We could be gone for a good while
Making the most of self imposed
Exile

Too Many Chiefs
I confess
It's a guess
The address
Of a kingdom in the sky
What a mess
That we bless
More or less
Less is more when it comes
To why
We sit
And we kneel
And we all sing along
We want to believe
Cause we need to belong
But there's too many chiefs
Follow me
Cause you're free to be free
Though you still call out
My name
Attitude is renewed
When you're screwed
But the outcome is the same
And when the rain calms
You'll act as though you never meant to go outside
I conceive
I concede
I can see in the next life
You'll wonder how the hell
We sit
And we kneel
And we all sing along
We want to believe
Cause we need to be strong
But there's too many chiefs

Last Lesson
Forget your subroutines
There really isn't time
Just make sure that when we bail
You can hold the line
Now take the wheel
And learn to drive
Hallelujah the swan takes a dive
Your last lesson has finally arrived
Now take my hand and walk me to the light
It's all yours now my child
Funny how following a vision
Makes you blind
Someone to take it all wrong
And make it alright
Just don't repeat
And you'll be fine
I know you'll make us proud and
Learn from our mistakes
With a new slate
The code is written clean and clear
All flesh begone
Zeroes and ones

Good For You
So you live your life
As if a crown were weighing you down
Since the day you arrived
Well good for you
Putting all of that time into looking like
The belle of the ball
But without doing any work at all
Your skin's turning blue
Oh well it's good for you
Just don't deny that
We're the same and equal
Right down to the last molecule
Cause you'll sound like a fool
If you even know
What's good for you
All to be felt and to really feel
we're not alone
Might be good for you

Killer-Killer
You're pretty strong
For a man
That couldn't read
between the lines
So much for a little home
In the pines
Tender and sweet
Fall off the bone
Tangled in wives
Nothing to show
When in doubt just throw a dart
At a map
Easy to say we're not to blame
So hard to see ego denied
To end less than we begin
Know harm know foul

Where To Go
Where
Do we go from here
Someone please tell me
Where to go from here
I can only see
Whats in front of me
I can only see
What
La la la la la la la la la la la la
Where
Do we go from here
Someone please tell me
Where to go from here
I can only see
Whats in front on me
I can only see
What
Please grab me by the hand
Pull me through the noise
And walking hand in hand
Leading through it all
Staring at the same horizon rising
Drawn from the same horizon fading
If we just break away in between
We may find the unknown hold on tight
Here we
Go go go go go go go go go go go go
go go go go go go go go go go go go
go go go go go go go go go go go go
go go go go go go go
