Psst!
Hey there
Look here
Look at
What’s left
All that
We’ve got
All that
We kept
Ourselves
Our lives
Our lies
Our eyes
Our guises, vices, super sizes, our high-rises, visualize this
“I realize the size of the destruction was beyond comprehension,
sending wave after wave through our spacetime continuum!
Now let’s reflect on history.”
“I see I see”
“Well see, if it were up to me,
maybe the whole world would be living their lives differently.”
“Oh yeah, says who?” “Says me!” "Who knew?"
“Boo hoo, so sad, you sob and cry
And clasp your hands, look to the sky
Yet merrily turn sighted eyes
While someone's child is left to die”
Just start lookin' around!
First we look around, and then we break the music down
("Listen to how I break down")
"Someone's child is left to die"
People will come, Ray
Ray, people will come
People will come, Ray
Ray, people will come
People will most definitely come
"Someone’s child is left to die"
"I resent that!
I’m a good person, trying to make my ends meet every day;
You want reflections? I’ll give you my version:
Go fuck yourself and get out of my way!"
"Is that really all you've got to say?"
No please no not today don’t go
Until I thank you in the most humble of ways
It’s the least I can do, don’t let it gaslight you
Don’t let it gaslight, don’t let it gaslight, don't let it gaslight, don’t let it gaslight you!
"Look!" "Look!" "Look" "Look" "Look!"
Let’s bring it back!

You shouldn't have been so emotional.
You shouldn't have been, you shouldn't have been.
I shouldn't have been so vulnerable.
I shouldn't have been, I shouldn't have been.
We shouldn't have been so fucking genuine.
You shouldn't have been, I shouldn't have been.
But you were and I was and we were
You shouldn't have been so unbelievable
You shouldn't have been, you shouldn't have been
I shouldn't have been so readable
I shouldn't have been, I shouldn't have been
We shouldn't have been so inconceivable
We shouldn't have been, we shouldn't have been
But you were, and I was, and we were
And it makes the pain more real because we were
This I know for sure...
History repeats itself
This story repeats itself
Once or twice, and it might happen again in the future
Lessons learned and no doubt mistakes made,
Yet when it's time to reflect:
"No regrets," I guess...
Shouldn't have been
Should not ever have been
Shouldn't have been
We shouldn't have been so ignorant
Collective heads in the sand
Guns in our hands
Takin' our stands
Unwilling or unable to understand our fellow man,
Yet trying as hard as we can to defend a false premise?!
True freedom comes *only through unity,*
And *only* where life comes *before* liberty

sad sunken eyes behind cloth quite surprised
for your freedom has vanished, your mental health's jeopardized
some say that reason will help us be free from our own inner demons, keep us from being compromised
always believe what you see with your own eye eschew expectation, trust your observations
and maybe with time we can find piece of mind,
come together, unite, and leave
our differences behind
maybe with time,
we can find
common ground,
and look into
each other's eyes
after being
traumatized
we're traumatized
we're all traumatized
we won't
see the light
we won't
see the light
until we unite
reason, read,
and write refuse to deny
quality of life, then we can survive
together survive, together we rise
look into my eyes ,stay right by my side
don't leave me tonight I don't feel right,
I don't feel right, who turned
out the lights,
i've lost all my sight
don't leave
me tonight
don't tell
me goodbye
I don't feel right
I don't feel right
I don't feel right
oh me oh my
oh me oh my
oh why oh why

paper hands tremble, it’s tremolo – ‘turn it up’
messed up esophagus, branching out clouds in the mirror
“disappear”
brushed aside thoughts of a suicide spectacle
suspended in midair, curled around the shower curtain
“so uncertain”
out on the balcony, i saw a star appear
‘it’s only five,’ you proclaimed
“what a shame”
richard’s star fell from the sky to the sea
tore up the paper made from his tree
“silly me," he said
i turn up 118, a muse to the masses
watch all the passers-by, fall from the sky
“me oh my”

I think about you
What in the world have I become? Oh god, I don't know.
Just what in the world have I become? God, I don't know, god, I don't know!
But I know I can sing a song with the band
I can play along with the man
I can laugh, I can dance
I could bring my baby to France
She's holding my hand, she's guiding my heart
And now if I only just knew how how to start...
Lai dai dai dai
I think about you

She is Love
I see her
In the distance she’s a blur
Not sure if that’s her or you
However far away she stands,
I hope that she sees me too...
I seize love
Love sees me
Optical infinity
Although some loves I cannot see,
they’ll always be a mystery-
even some that are part of me
For as good as my vision is,
some loves are well beyond me...
Love sees
Love grows
Love breathes
Love knows
Eyes see
Eyes lie
I live
I die
I feel
Love heals
But first
It hurts
I’ll hear her voice and she’ll hear mine
I’ll feel Love’s warmth, we’ll feel right
She’ll love me back - and tell me why
And in that sense I’ll see her eye to eye

how did I manage to fuck up my life beyond all belief today?
when did I stray off the path from which I’d set out not to deviate?
and if you’d only tell me what I wanted to hear then I’d feel fine
and if you’d only tell me that I was your one and only love then we'd be divine
we could be so divine
where the fuck was my mind when I said the things I said to you before?
now we’re all broken and forgotten and you’ve already walked out the door
and if you’d just turn back the clock on your emotions then you’d feel fine
and if you’d tell yourself that I was your one and only love then we’d be divine
we could be so divine

Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock...
Take your time...
So many dead that didn’t need to die
Hundreds of thousands of innocent lives, few of them got to say proper goodbyes
Look, I respect that we don’t always see eye to eye
And I accept that our debates sometimes cause great divides
Our values differ but we both value each other's lives
Yet with the body bags piled up so goddamn high
I just can't help but wonder why...
Time...time, in time
It's time to go...
You know that it's time to go...
It's time to go....
Lay down your head next to mine in this bed
It's time to rest no more words need be said
Lower your eyelids as I make the room dim
Morpheus beckons you, just go to him
Let Morpheus guide you 'til the sun rises again
Just follow Morpheus, you can trust him
Follow his lead 'til the last stage you find yourself
find yourself
find yourself
find yourself
find yourself
find yourself in
