Tracks



01. The Descent

All the lies
Can’t understand
Can’t be free
Out of reach

Forgot to say
Forget to know
Forget to see
Forgot you now

Only the beginning
Start of the descent
Only the beginning
Beginning of the end

Forgot to say
Forget to know
Forget to see
Forget you now

I can’t hide
Cannot remain
Can’t be seen
Out of reach

Only the beginning
Start of the descent
Only the beginning
Beginning of the end

Descent into dissent
There is no hope
The lives have fallen
Descent into dissent
There is no hope
A world now barren

All the lies
Can’t understand
Can’t be free
Out of reach

Forgot to say
Forget to know
Forget to see
Forgot you now

Only the beginning
Only the beginning
Only the beginning
Beginning of the end

02. State Of Emergency

Suppression of your thoughts, there’s no exception
Deviant their cause, in every instance
Protection of the false, dishonorable mentions
Deception calls the shots, you cannot question

Emergency the state
Of mass confusion
Urgency in place
For total disruption

Last
Class
Mass confusion
Total disruption
Last
Class
Mass confusion
Total disruption

State Of Emergency
The State Of Emergency

Redirection of the course, it was an illusion
No mention no reports, another omission
Reinvention of the source of all our tensions
Apprehension reinforced, evil intentions

Calamity awaits
Disease and hunger
Another disgrace
Another plunder

Last
Class
Mass confusion
Total disruption
Last Class
Mass confusion
Total disruption

State Of Emergency
The State Of Emergency

Last
Class
Mass confusion
Total disruption

State Of Emergency
The State Of Emergency
The State Of Emergency

Suppression of your thoughts
There’s no exception
Protection of the false
You cannot question

03. Breaking Point

It’s got to stop - it’s got to end
People have had enough
The flat out lies - all untrue
What is said you cannot trust
They demand that you agree
With ideas you can’t believe
Thoughts are banned - can’t disagree
And there’s no reprieve

What they teach you won’t learn - it’s obscene
It’s the breaking point
What they teach you won’t read - it’s obscene
It’s the breaking point

The denial
It’s the breaking point

It’s going to end - it’s going to stop
So many people have had enough
It’s in decline - no moral view
With no dignity it’s overdue

What they teach you won’t learn - it’s obscene
It’s the breaking point
What they teach you won’t read - it’s obscene
It’s the breaking point

The denial - it is final
The denial

The flat out lies
All untrue
You cannot trust
I’ve had enough

What they teach you won’t learn - it’s obscene
It’s the breaking point
What they teach you won’t read - it’s obscene
It’s the breaking point

It’s the breaking point
Breaking point
It’s the breaking point
It’s the breaking point

04. Non-Existence

Walk the extra mile with my hands tied
Going through trials going out of my mind
Take a bullet for you
Take a bullet it’s true
Another cross to bear keep on climbing those stairs
Always saying silent prayers, has my vision impaired my view?
Impaired my view
Impaired my view
It’s a basic truth
Got to put it to use
It’s better to be living than to be of no use
Impair my view
Got nothing to lose
Not much more to living got to see it through
Running out of time jump the turnstile
Trying to find a guide trying to find a new sign
Some kind of proof
Got something to prove
Another thing to share never unfair
Time to be aware start breathing the air
Gotta change my view
Gonna change my view
It changed my view
It’s a basic truth
Got to put it to use
It’s better to be living than to be of no use
Impair my view
Got nothing to lose
Not much more to living got to see it through
A basic truth
A basic truth
Not much more to living got to see it through
It’s a basic truth got to put it to use
Put it to use
It’s a basic truth
Got to put it to use
It’s better to be living than to be of no use
Impair my view
Got nothing to lose
Not much more to living got to see it through
It’s a basic truth
It’s a basic truth

05. Light Turns Black

No way to live - with your thoughts
No way to live - time to stop
No way to live - with the pain
No way to live

You speak you see
You never have any vision
Never have any role
You keep - you hold
You never save acquisitions
You're always wanting more

No way to live with this pain
No way to live light turns black
No way to live
No way to live

Light turns black
Light turns black
Light turns black

You want - you need
Only have your decisions
Only have your goals
You've kept - you've lost
Never gave what was given
You only lose what you own

Place some blame on others
Never be the same you suffer
Dependent on a crutch feeling like you're lost
Can't live this way no purpose

No way to live with this pain
No way to live light turns black
No way to live
No way to live

Light turns black
Light turns black

I don't know why you do this
You do this to yourself - light turns black
I don't know why you do this
You do this to yourself

You never have any vision
Never have any role

You've kept - you've lost
Never gave what was given
You only lose what you own

06. Who Told Me

It's not true
They want you to lie demand it of you
Untrue
You have to believe the nonsense they spew
You're told
You have no mind no mind of your own
You're told
The only way to see it you cannot oppose

You can't oppose

Who told me this was true
Who told me I have no mind
Is this reality or something new
Who told me - Who told me
Who told me this was true
Who told me I have no mind
Is this reality or something new?
Who told me - you told me?

Left with nothing
What did you do

You were left with nothing
What the hell did you do
Why did you listen to corrupt minds

Not true
They want you to give demand it from you
Untrue
They want you to lie demand it from you
Stay true
The only way to hear it from the voice of the few

Of the few

Who told me this was true
Who told me I have no mind
Is this reality or something new
Who told me - Who told me
Who told me this was true
Who told me I have no mind
Is this reality or something new?
Who told me - you told me?

It's not true
They want you to lie demand it of you
Untrue
You have to believe the nonsense they spew
You're told
You have no mind no mind of your own
You're told
The only way to see it you cannot oppose

07. Obeisance

Step into awareness
Enter the reality
Widen range of thought
Process of discernment
Habit of reflection
Is the top priority
Not confusing ends with means
Appropriated action

Priorities

The process of discernment of the new word
Time to be determined and emergent
Attentive and observant to be concerned
A sense of being urgent no divergence

Spiritual direction
Capture your abilities
Detaching from the world
Reaching a decision
With all understanding
Without the adversity
Questioning your thoughts
Into the reflection

Without the adversity
Without the adversity
Decision and action
Without the adversity

The process of discernment of the new word
Time to be determined and emergent
Attentive and observant to be concerned
A sense of being urgent no divergence

Step into awareness
Enter the reality
Widen range of thought
Process of discernment

Full range of thought

The process of discernment of the new word
Time to be determined and emergent
Attentive and observant to be concerned
A sense of being urgent no divergence

The process of discernment
Of discernment

08. Disconnected

It just means nothing nothing to me
It just means nothing your needs
I kind of see nothing no injury
I only see something your misery

How could I possibly know your hopes
How could I possibly know your woes

It's too much effort required of me
To be wary of your beliefs
Quick to develop animosity
Won't give you credit dismissively

How could I possibly know your hopes
How could I possibly know your woes
How could I possibly know your hopes
How could I possibly know no no no no

So everything is hurtful
Careful how we talk
So very hurtful
Your critical assault
I should be remorseful
For someone else's faults
I should be ungrateful
Because this is what is taught

You're disconnected
So disconnected
You're disconnected
So disconnected

It gets so pointless to me
Best to be selfless than in need
Got the main philosophy
With the basic anxieties

How could I possibly know your hopes
How could I possibly know your woes

So everything is hurtful
Careful how we talk
So very hurtful
Your critical assault
I should be remorseful
For someone else's faults
I should be ungrateful
Because this is what is taught

You're disconnected
So disconnected
You're disconnected
So disconnected

09. Compliant

Because you have to live in silence
And don't even say you want this
And words are only violence
And you're forced to be compliant

Because you have to live in silence
And don't even say you want this
And words are only violence
And you're forced to be compliant

Enemies of the regime
In their war on reality
The ones that disagree
Destroy them entirely

Enemies of the regime

Now what's to even hope for
When you have to learn to ignore
There's nothing left to answer for
You cannot speak anymore
You're left in such amazement
Of the ridiculous statements
You must simply pay attention
To authoritarian infiltration

Enemies of the regime
In their war on reality
The ones that disagree
Destroy them entirely

Enemies of the regime
Compliant
Infiltration
Indoctrination

Enemies of the regime
In their war on reality
The ones that disagree
Destroy them entirely

Enemies of the regime
In their war on reality
The ones that disagree
Destroy them entirely

10. Back (NYC)

Goin' back home only place to go best place to be
Something was wrong felt a bit lost things that I just couldn't see
Made it back here now I reappear seeing more clear
People of my own don't feel alone only way to be

Where I belong - where I belong - where I belong
Where I belong - where I belong

Had to flee the nest now I can attest that I can be free
Things are always tough wherever you may go you gotta see the road
I have a new life with seasonal skies changing my affinity
Not about your worth not about your gain go get some humility

Back - where I belong
Back - where I belong

Glad I read the signs glad I spent the miles on the road to reality
No longer have to lie or try to qualify or have to let go
Finally found my way inviting me to stay in a great place to be
No longer feeling lost no longer pay the cost of never feeling free

Where I belong - where I belong - where I belong
Where I belong - where I belong

Back - where I belong
Back - where I belong
Back - where I belong
Back - where I belong

I feel it I see it
Where I belong
I feel it I see it
Where I belong
I feel it I see it
Where I belong
I feel it I see it
Where I belong

Goin' back home only place to go best place to be
I have a new life with seasonal skies changing my affinity
Made it back here now I reappear seeing more clear
No longer feeling lost no longer pay the cost of never feeling free

Back
Back
Back
Where I belong

11. Working Man

Well I get up at seven yeah
And I go to work at nine
I got no time for livin'
Yes I'm workin' all the time

It seems to me I could live my life
A lot better than I think I am
I guess that's why they call me
They call me the workin' man

They call me the workin' man
I guess that's what I am

So I get home at five o'clock
And I give myself out an ice cold beer
Always seem to be wonderin'
Why there's nothin' goin' on down here

It seems to me I could live my life
A lot better than I think I am
I guess that's why they call me
They call me the workin' man

They call me the workin' man
I guess that's what I am

Well I get up at seven yeah
And I'll go to work at nine
I got no time for livin'
Yes, I'm workin' all the time

It seems to me I could live my life
A lot better than I think I am
I guess that's why they call me
They call me the workin' man

Well they call me the workin' man
I guess that's what I am
They call me the workin' man
I guess that's what I am
