What if I told you that everything you know is wrong?
Forget the past the rules and the rights and the laws
What if everything I just said was a lie
Would you become depressed just to wither and die?

You can all join for a small fee of life OH
Please approach the altar
There is nothing else you can do
To escape your problems

Out here you can’t even trust the air you breathe
It’s all glass and nightmares far as you can see
Who knew that life would devolve from our own shattered dreams?
We have the medicine to ease your disease
There is a way to erase your misdeeds
Just come on down join this ministry
Forget and renounce all sin and vice
All except for the ones we provide OH
PLEASE approach your father
There is nothing else you can do
To escape the evils
That we don’t have in our commune
But you can stay only if you want to
Everything is safe inside our commune
All the desert and wasteland is such a drag

(To be had, can’t turn back, don’t look back!)

To prevent the end now

Today Is the day of reckoning
Salvation ain't what's happening
Out on the dirt road the buzzards laugh
Because they know they got food for a week and a half
Yeah, they know they got food for a week and a half
Come on
Getting thirsty on the wheels of an Iron pig
Whiskey in the bottle is running thin, Ooh
We ain't got food but we got our smokes
We don't want shelter what we need is some hope
Yeah we don't want shelter what we need is some hope
Come on
Time flies by with less to do
We got paddles and flares ain't got a canoe
We're all filled with uncertainty
Oh god what's happened to me,
Yeah someone please tell me what's wrong with me
Come on
Come on, yeah
Come on, yeah
Come on, Yea-yeah!

Violent Thoughts

Attention, please return to your homes, there is no reason to be fearful. We are your family, and we will protect… with your lives.
There isn’t much to say
If you’re not listening
I want to help you
Stop the conditioning
But you don’t understand
What they’ve been through
What I’ve been through
Oh if you knew
Come along and follow me
“Don’t trust the family”
Why should I believe you
You’re not my family
Are you happy here
Have you been outside
You know the end is near
Have you even tried?
Everything that’s going on is bigger than you know
Lives at risk it will collapse if we don’t keep them afloat
I wonder what you think about
And what you’re going to do now
I know you’re not scared to get caught
And your mind is full of
Violent thoughts
They’ve all got guns aimed at innocents and followers
They won’t hesitate to pull the trigger on this slaughter
You don’t know love or freedom
You always take their pills and eat em
Do you remember me at all
Or do you not recall
Would you like to see the sea of dead?
The ones they killed for having those thoughts in their heads
I am not the one to teach you wrong
I was once yours but that was so long ago
We can defeat this
Mental enemy
Believe in ourselves
Set each other free
But it comes with a price
We we will have to cut off
Everyone we know
To contain their
Violent thoughts

Of the problems here
But we just dont want
To spread any fear
Take your medications
Consult the tomes
Just please do what we tell you
Please return to your homes
We are aware
Of your complaints
But dont be worried
You wont have to wait
For you to be
Heard by the drones
Just please do what we tell you
Please return to your homes
We are aware
You're not as happy
As we believed
That you could be
But if you continue
Well slit your throats
So please do what we tell you
Please return to your homes

Theocracy!

Attention. We have been compromised, our buildings have been infiltrated, and this government has failed. Blood alone turns the wheels of history, but it was our blood that was spilt. To those who revolted, you have ravaged us. The Family is no more. The 51st state has fallen. The 51st State is not a place.

I Don't Love You
04:31

The air smells different outside the dome
It feels really weird to be away from home
But why did you take me save my life
I dint remember when but you've dine this twice
Please dont think I'm ungrateful
these satellites make the ceilings full
But I dint understand what you speak of
From what you tell me this is love but
I don’t love you but I think I can trust you
Though I disagree with your politics
I don’t love you but I think that I can trust you
I hope you know a way out of this
I was happy in the place I called my home
Change will come, now this I know
But why does it have to change me too
When I don’t even know what to do
You say this change will better me
Suppression is the enemy
Why does life always need to be
A series of inequities
I don’t love you but I think I can trust you
Although I disagree with you politics
I don’t love you but I think I can trust you
I hope you know a way out of this
Take with you leave me alone
You were the one who destroyed my home
I've known you from long ago
You say its true but I dont know
Take me with you leave me alone
You were the one who destroyed my home
You say you love me but I don’t know
I have no choice to see where this goes
Take me with you leave me alone
Change is good you destroyed my home
Take me with you leave me alone
Change is good you destroyed my home
Take me with you leave me alone
Change is good you destroyed my home
I saved you from certain death
Just to further your interests
I don’t love you but I think I can trust you
Although I disagree with your politics
I don’t love you but I think I can trust you
I hope you know a way out of this

Let's go down to see Colorado
I hear that its safe
Theres trees and bears and everyone lives there
It's nothing like this place
I hope you can see my reason for leaving
I hope you'll see a reason to care
Your sense of adventure, it fills me with worry,
But its something I'll deal with once we get there
Let's go down to see Colorado
I hear that its safe
Theres trees and bears and everyone lives there
It's nothing like this place
I've heard of this place from a long time ago
It's the only other place I've ever known
Outside the confines of our society
A new start a safe place to start a new home
This desert is unforgiving
And we dont know if this place will be there or not
I want to believe in you
To get rid of my pills and violent thoughts
But life will always go on
It will begin to play its scenes
Well never know What it means til the end
But for the first time again you'll be free
To be, what you wanna be
So Let's go down to see Colorado
I hear that its safe
Theres trees and bears and everyone lives there
It's nothing like this place

Particles

I had this dream
It all happened here
In this dream
I could disappear
But I still don’t know
If I’ve woken up yet
I wish it rained
Outside today
I like the days
Where I’m not quite okay
But it doesn’t rain
In California
In this dream I’m covered in particles, accelerating
At quite an alarming rate
And I’m just okay
With the wind and the rain
And how it remains
The things that keep me sane
Walking along
This desert plane
Wondering who
Is really to blame
The one who lives
Off the others back
I’ll never be home
That phrase in my head
I’m wondering when
I will drop dead
You’ll keep me safe
From all I lack
In this dream I’m covered in particles, accelerating
At quite an alarming rate
And I feel okay
With the wind and the rain
And how it remains
The things that keep me sane
If I’m always worried about the future,
Will I ever get there?
Looking at the options set before me
I really don’t care
But if I found friends that love me back
And if family wasnt a symbol
I could probably find a new place to call home
And realize my potential
I had this dream
It all happened here
And in this dream
I could disappear
But I still don’t know
If I’ve woken up yet

Shadow
04:31

I dont want to go outside today
I just want to go play with my shadow
I dont need to be anyone else
He will always defend
My shadow loves me I think he will stay
My loyal friend
I dont want to be alone
Alone
I dont want him to be alone
Alone
Please don’t make me choose between
The friends I have or ones not seen
I feel helpless when he is gone
If only for a second
When light comes he goes away
I miss my friend
I don’t want to be alone
Alone
I don’t want him to be alone
Alone
I don’t want to be alone
Alone
I don’t want him to be alone
Alone
I don’t want to go outside today
With my shadow I want to play
I’d never leave said my shadow
Lies he said but now I know
Though they took my shadow away
I miss my friend every day
I still miss my shadow
I still miss my shadow
I still want my shadow
I still miss my shadow
I don’t want to be alone
Alone
I don’t want him to be alone
Alone
I don’t want to be alone
Alone
I don’t want him to be alone
Alone

Symptom of Aging

There’s nothing you can do
To keep yourself from changing
Its just a matter of time
A symptom of aging
When you see yourself
Several years from now
Will you be happy with
The choices you make now
Is the change you fear
From within yourself
You cant base your worth
On the views of someone else
There’s nothing you can do
To keep yourself from changing
Its just a matter of time
A symptom of aging
Do you remember
How you used to feel
Sitting in your room
Taking all your pills
Do you feel liberated
From the life you knew
Because everyone will die
And SO WILL YOU
There’s nothing you can do
To keep yourself from changing
Its just a matter of time
A symptom of aging
Love is trusting someone
Without needing to explain
It’s unconditional
Until conditions change
You never seem to believe
What someone else will tell you
Only you can change
The change we want to sell you
