NEW HISTORY:
Heard the lines, tales of design
Unfold, with fool’s gold
We can write, our own new history
In time, we can find, a way, to control our fate
Re-learn how, to live now
Unburden your burdens
We can write, our own new history
In time, we will find, a way, to control our fate...our fate...And write it on the page
We will write, our own new history
This time, we have found a way and
I, am yours and you are mine
I am yours. You are mine

ATHEISTS IN A FOXHOLE:
Pinned down, the battle surrounds, now
Cry out for help, looking to the clouds
In dire times, crossing moral lines
Adaptive faith will fall upon deaf ears
Of a god you claim in haste when death is near
No sound, blackness surrounds, now
Call out for help, no one to be found
In dire times, there is no light
Adaptive faith will fall upon deaf ears
Of a god you claim in haste when death is near
Now
Adaptive faith will fall upon deaf ears
Of a god you claim in haste when death is clear
Death is clear. Death is clear.

Bellwether

BELLWETHER:
Vanity, in a two dimensional screen
Fight for your relevance
Among the herd
A facade for zealots in your momentary turn
Egoist, aim the lens upon your face
Superficial messages, so frivolous
A storied impermanence, your time is up
Who, are the leaders now?
Who, will show us how
To think for ourselves
With the products on shelves
Are you the new leader now?
The Bellwether dows
Hanging on, to your every move and
Damning you, to steady your views
A culpability, profile of infamy
Sell an apology, but we’re through with you
Who, are the leaders now?
Who, will show us how
To think for ourselves
With the products on shelves
Are you the new leader now?
The Bellwether dows

Under the Jester Crown

UNDER THE JESTER CROWN:
We all, have had a turn, to watch the cities burn, ignited by a callow clown
We all have seen the words, that we cannot unlearn, even though they drag us down
We are, not “great again”, and we must make amends, while the jester wears the crown.
Mortified, what have we become?
More to find, if we open up our eyes
Speak loud, and cut through all the sound. A million voices can’t be silenced, can we break up all the violence under the crown, under the crown.
We try, to give benefit, of doubt to congressmen, how can we move ahead
When lies, will surely come, through an oligarchy hum, decipher dialogue
Cut ties, with the harlequin, and let’s begin again, remove the jester crown
Pull down the crown
Mortified, what have we become
More to find, if we open up our eyes,
Speak loud, and cut through all the sound. A million voices can’t be silenced, if we break up all the violence under the crown, under the crown
Pull down the crown

Idol Failures

IDOL FAILURES
Dreaming to be
In the vicinity of a deity
Their signature or picture
Like well-regarded scripture
Glorify through your teeth
Frame your mind seeing idols unrefined
Flawed like everyone
With faulty paradigms
Do not be dismayed, their
Failures are lessons for you and I
The adage says idols are frayed
They are bound to have feet made of clay
Lionize them
Patronize them
Glorify them or you could just
Frame your mind seeing idols unrefined
Flawed like everyone
With faulty paradigms
Do not be dismayed, their
Failures are lessons for you and I
Say what you will
(Say what you will)
They will fail you
(Fail You)
Say what you will
(Say what you will)
They will fail you
Frame your mind seeing idols unrefined
Flawed like everyone
With faulty paradigms
Do not be dismayed, their
Failures are lessons for you and I
Do not be dismayed
Idol failures are lessons
For you and I

MARROW
Wanderlust for marrow
Wound enough to harrow
Wounded by an arrow
From the archer of love
Aimed from above
Lady Luck found me, claim her bounty, collect the reward
Move on the jilted prey
Archer of love
Found trust in my marrow
No reason to harrow
Wounded by an arrow
From the archer of love
Aimed from above
Lady Luck found me, claiming her bounty, collect the reward
Move on to the lonely prey
Archer of love
Calloused, from malice
Wounded by an arrow
Oh, the archer of love
Shot from above
Lady Luck found me, claiming her bounty, collect the reward
Move on to the stranded prey
Archer of love
Our hands hold a sparrow
Unpin the arrow
You are the marrow

Tableau of Violence

TABLEAU OF VIOLENCE:
From a fantasy onscreen
To a desolated scene
Trapped within a melancholic dream
Tunnel vision, on a mission
Pull the hammer back and
Fire desperation
Go, take out the foe
Obey the disorder in tow
Show a violent tableau
Of annihilation and woe. Fire!
Trembling hands upon the frame
Of a cannon taking aim
Before the ammunitions lay their claim
When the bullet leaves the barrel
Surroundings are in peril
Consciousness of guiltiness is sterile
Go, take down the foe
Obeying the orders in tow
Show a violent tableau
Of annihilation and woe. Fire!

CANCER MERCHANT:
You got a sickness down to the core
Needles and capsules, for your war
Whatever you want, whatever you need
Whatever it takes to keep you clean
Just sign, on the dotted line
Just buy, oh the end is nigh
You got a weakness down to your core
Pick out your poison and have some more
Whatever you want, whatever you need
Whatever it takes to keep you seen
Your spine, is on the decline
You signed, oh the end is nigh
Your spine, is on the decline
Your time, to cross the line
Your spine, is on the decline
You signed so cross the line

PANACEAN ROMANCE:
Ladies and gentlemen
Placing bets on a losing hand
Push the chips all in
They’re gonna buy in again anyway
Waxing adrenaline
Throw one back and fill it again
Until anesthetized
Romantic poison to feel alive
Romanticize, Cannibalize
Desensitize, Anesthetize
The sweet and savory
Contagion comes with slavery
Virus beneath the skin
Lies in wait to deteriorate
Ladies and gentlemen
Placed their bets on another hand
Pushed the chips all in
No hesitation to habituate
Romanticize, Cannibalize
Desensitize, Anesthetize

FACTION
Form a rally, build the signs
Spend your dollars and your time
For a cause and mass applause
But the candidate has given pause
You may, come to rue the day
When a nomination turns to aberration.
But you stay, within the moral gray, and cherry pick what fits for your display?
Tune in daily, check the polls
Truth and lies are being sold
Two factions calling for action
Others wading in distraction
You may, come to rue the day
When a nomination turns to aberration.
Will you stay, within the moral gray, and cherry pick what fits for your display
Call to action
Gain some traction
Call to action
Choose your faction
Call to action
Cast your faction

We Guilt This City

WE GUILT THIS CITY:
Point left. Point right.
Blaming anyone outside the hive mind.
Unwound. Scroll down.
And type your bullshit that nobody cares about
No one admits they’re wrong
When singing the same song
Can we cure this disease
Of our guilty reprise
Fan the flame upon your name
It’s all the same, so turn the blame
New days. New thread.
Opposing opinions are leaving us for dead
We guilt, this city
Until there’s nothing left of all humanity
Everyone says you’re wrong
While singing the same song
Will we cure this disease
Of our guilty reprise
Fan the flame upon your name
It’s all the same, so turn the blame
Fan the flame upon your name
It’s all the same, so turn the blame

CHEMICAL EMBRACE
Hideaway before calamities engage And lead you astray
Warning signs, oh you’ve seen them every time, it’s no surprise...
That you find, your grace in a chemical embrace
You find your place with a chemical embrace
Routine, malevolent and indiscreet, Set your burdens free
Oh you can’t ignore, you’ve nothing to wait for, right your wrongs and change the lore
Or rewind, the tape with a chemical embrace
To find your place with a chemical embrace
Chemical embrace
With a chemical embrace
