You think you know
what to believe
Yeah there’s lies lies lies
but you are not deceived
Those sheep and all
their “truths” are just beliefs
None of the facts
back up their story
You think that you
understand
Yeah that makes sense
knowing the whole plan
The facts are plain
for all to see
Our emperor has clothes
Yours can't spell hypocrisy
No! This will not stand!
Here! This is my land!
No! I raise my hand!
Fear! Isn't a? brand!
Tradition is what
makes us great
Back at Dome 5
We don’t hesitate
You forgot
where you came from
No, not that far
We don’t worship the sun
Our great place is
not what you perceive
The powers that be
tell you what to believe
It’s your choice
to play their game
You’ll come to me
covered in shame
If I’m wrong
then no harm, no foul
The changes keep coming
no matter what’s allowed
If I’m right
nothing but misery
And you’ll spend your time
Blaming it all on me

Bottled Egos

When I look around I see the same egos
Like they come in sets put out on display
I keep mine all bottled up now
When I let him out to play
He was a monster
He wrecked the whole place
He was a monster
He wrecked everything
I lost everything
I’m slowly making my amends
He only mirrors what he’s shown
Instead of hate, we’re becoming friends
He acts up again
acts up again
Back in the bottle!
Seems only the assholes are on display
Not their fault - just need to learn the roles
We think we’re running round in circles
But we’re really trapped in waves
Paddle up and paddle up the face
Paddle paddle paddle
Paddle up and paddle up the face
Paddle up the face
Constant watch now
When he’s feeding
Wants to go, out of control
Gotta check him
Gotta pull him
Back in the bottle he must go
I’m slowly making my amends
He only mirrors whatever he’s shown
Now we both know, I’m in control
I’m in control
I’m slowly making my amends
He only mirrors what he’s shown
Instead of hate, we’re becoming friends
He acts up again
acts up again
Back in the bottle!

I’m not one with myself
I’m not one with my self or any other self
I have right views
I have the resolve
I make an effort
I concentrate all the time
It makes me angry [when you say]
That I'm angry [so you say]
It makes me angry [when you say]
I shouldn't be so angry
I’m not one with myself
I’m not one with my self or any other self

Chance

When I first realized that she was following me
I wasn’t sure just how to react
If she knew, that I knew, she was following me
We might never interact
Oh, I know it’s dangerous to assume these things
And I know the trouble that it brings
But when I caught a glimpse of her snake eyes
And the guns strapped to her thighs
I took a chance!
And I asked her to dance!
I could’ve died last night
By her bullets, or by her bite
But she let me go, or so she told me so
I hope I see her tonight...
I hope she calls!
I'm here climbing the walls!
They caught me walking, unaware
But with a hail of bullets, she was there
She took them all down
then turned to me, with a frown
This is the last time I'd see her
The dangers were too real
No matter how strongly we feel
...the kiss was sublime
So now I train
Some day we'll meet again

How could anyone know me
when I don’t know myself
I think sometimes they show me
but that was someone else
I don’t share the real me
the one I will become
The exposure is too risky
safer just staying numb
Then you opened my eyes
Finally safe, to drop the disguise
You opened up your heart
And I never want to let go
Showed me how to start
without the need to tiptoe
Shared all your hopes and dreams
inspired me to break through
Only one thing left to say
Baby, I love you!
Some of the days are dark still
but it doesn’t quite feel the same
The skies are grey and cloudy
but the sun shines after rain
I never want to lose you
whether or not you stay
Finally know in my heart now
everything's gonna be OK
Cause you opened my eyes
Finally safe, to drop the disguise
You opened up your heart
And I never want to let go
Showed me how to start
without the need to tiptoe
Shared all your hopes and dreams
inspired me to break through
Only one thing left to say
Baby, I love you!
Baby, I love you!
Baby, I love you!
I will always be true
My love, thank you!

She does incredible things
Her Curiosity
Oh the things that she dreams
On other planets
Watch her shoot laser beams
She does incredible things
Tūtū Pele, she,
Controls the fire in me
Power and passion
Volcanic activity
Some kind of magic
It's like voodoo to me
Mystical powers
electrical energy
She does incredible things
She's a woman
she makes fire
she plays with dangerous things
She's a woman
my desire
she's not afraid of dangerous things

Robot Words
06:52

Too many times
all the fake smiles
Like that’s all there is
to this lifestyle
I speak robot words
To convey robot thoughts
I like how they feel
Down in my robot socks
You do what you have to
Cause Imma get mine
Meet you somewhere in the middle
I think we’ll be just fine
Line by line, I’ll do my time
see it through
I’ll use robot words
to veil the curses
meant for you
When there is no reason
and logic has no voice
Systems cycle up
there needs to be a choice
Regardless of the problem
you feel the fire inside
that need to make a difference
your love gets amplified
Once you
know the score
there’s writing
on the door
Then comes
a quiet calm
it’s time to
get things done
Motion and
output tracked
surely you know
it’s an act
The robot words
are spoke
Maybe crack
a robot joke

Swallow The Bear

You wanna know, but she couldn’t share
You wanna see, but she wouldn’t dare
You wanna proof, but she doesn’t care
Forget astrology, she could swallow the bear
She'd chew him up and spit out the pieces
Forget astronomy, she could swallow the bear
I think she understands the consequence of her firm stance
Moving the constellations, shifting the stars, and variations
She can swallow the bear
Staring at the sky
at night we wonder why
and how
and who
and when did all of this begin?
and when will it end?
