White Lies

White Lies, paint your picture
white lies, a slow suicide
White lies, wash right off of ya
White lies, you’re running out of time
You’ve gone and lost your mind
White lies, pure and cleaner
Right mind, the violence sanctifies
Straight line, love the leader
This time, he’s gonna make everything fine
Rewind
Time
you feel it, won’t see it, as your ground, turns to shit
You don't know and you don't wanna know
You don’t know, no you really don’t wanna know
You don’t know and you don’t wanna know
White lies, birth of a nation
White lies, you better be terrified
Hold tight, pull the trigger
Look sharp, you’re surrounded on all sides
stand side by side
Never gonna be the right time
You’re out of time
never gonna hit rewind
you feel it, won't see it, as your ground, turns to shit
You don't know and you don't wanna know
You don’t know, no you really don’t wanna know
You don’t know and you don’t wanna know

Desire

I wanna be where it glows
I wanna burn down the lies deep inside it all
I wanna be in the scene
I wanna burnout the sun and the galaxies
I had to wake up at dawn
I had to work and the day is so fucking long
I had to be an adult
I had to take care of everything all at once
I wanna conquer the world
I wanna hear my voice on the radio
I wanna see what could be
I wanna slide on the sun horizontally
I had to be in a line
I had to spend endless hours of precious time
Please not a minute more
Sometimes it’s hard to remember my desire
I wanna sip of the source
I wanna get lost in nowhere and veer off course
Follow it far as it goes
I wanna be with the soil and the animals
So easy to slip away
Turn on the TV,
and purchase reality
Is this what I have become?
Sometimes it’s hard to remember my desire
I never want to let go

Doesn't Really Matter

celebrity sex gossip tapes
paint the walls
a real tell-all
tanning beds and t-bone steaks
so well done
think you’ve won
adolescent dreams of fame
gave it up
I gave it up
cause it doesn’t really matter
pious certainties that hate
I’ve had enough
more than enough
conspiracy theories that make
you think you know
you really don’t
conspicuous consumption fakes
feeling tall
building your walls
what hurts you the most?
when you’re all alone
I saw you there
what do you live for?
when you leave your door
that’s all there is
that’s all you get

How Did I Go So Wrong
03:20
|

soar on the light
and be young always
someday I’ll go and burn all things
and I don’t care what they wanted
I know I’ll be alright when I’m dead
how did I go so wrong?
then the birthday’s over
in a half-life
sweet embers
can’t you see what you’ve wasted?
I have no one to defend
and I see so much now
what I’ve burned down
I woke up too late
how did I go so wrong?
smile on me

Binary Codes
03:57
|
|||
|
where do you go
when you relieve pressure?
in binary codes
a lonely remainder
i didn’t know why
why you were frightened
just how do our rights
put you in danger?
all the fears you hold
they don't make sense,
all the hate you hold
it don't make sense
all the lies you’re told,
they don’t make sense
all the lies you hold, let go…
you’re swearing at me
though i am stranger
the things that should be
the life i am after
it burns in my heart
it burns in my brain
just how do our rights
put you in danger?
all the fears you hold
they don't make sense,
all the hate you hold
it don't make sense
all the lies you’re told,
they don’t make sense
all the lies you hold,
we’re flushing them out,
flushing them out
and in the dark
i feel my brothers,
sisters beside me
and find my hope
standing side by side
we’re winning next time
we’ll win cause heroes
ain’t hard to find
we ain't coming back alone, no
they spit in our eyes
but some day will come,
someday will come
we’re not alone, no

Games We Play
04:01
|
|||
|
lies become truth
when we all believe
don’t want to see the signs
burn out our eyes
science is sin
If it doesn’t agree
or enhance violence
and power
you say what you want
and yes we all believe it
no uncertainties
ever remain
white fear is weaponized
targets swirl
inside and out
we’ll build the wall
don’t fall, don’t fall in line
for the things that you most fear
catastrophe so near
go high when they go low
reality stars
viagra cars
walled in resorts
with slogans and smiles
the biggest and best
snarling con artist
gold plated names
red meat in cellophane

Burning
04:32
|
|||
|
I saw the game
I saw the endless names
fall so easy
and what you're told
a story cleansed with gold
the facts seem crazy
Nostalgia’s scheme
That’ll never ever be
But you don’t believe me, no
collateral damage
it overflows
but you won’t see it
I can feel somehow everything’s changing now
all the dreams that we want to make real, but don’t
along the way
Life interrupts your day
Like blood from a vein
Another’s pain
But you won’t do a thing
For liberty’s sake
You fall asleep
sail on never never seas
and anxiety pills
Whitewashed away
Festers & burns with hate
and someday we’ll pay
The comforts you reap
The lies let you sleep
So soundly
Until now
You’ve never been down
You’re always surrounded by white lies

Nothing to Say
03:31
|
|||
|
You go online, set your hatred free
Just what you wanna hear, that’s all you’re going to read
Safe space for snowflakes!
Butthurt libtard!
Won’t toe the line, must be breaking the law
Well I ain’t got nothing to say to you anymore
I picked a tribe, you’re the enemy
Now you’re somebody that I never thought you’d be
Just let me save you!
and now I’m gone
You're so diseased you can’t see that you’re wrong
Well I ain’t got nothing to say to you anymore
does nothing mean nothing forever?
I never forget to remember
all those fucked up days of November
yes nothing means nothing forever.
We can’t leave orbit round that orange fuck
I feel his gravity sucking out all our love
I’ll catch you later?
I’ll let you know
Hatred so bright we’ve lost sight of the stars

Sing
04:15
|

|
I fell awake into tomorrow’s land
nothing’s aligned nothing makes any sense
consumer wasteland with all souls for rent
reality TV star president
I watch the world
its hope receding now
can’t believe just how far
we have fallen
wade the night
until the daylight dawns
wonder just how far gone
we really are this time
we never noticed them creep up in time
those things we locked away now seem to rise
another day, another hate to feed
the world just falls apart so easily
can’t believe
watching the world
I see the seedling grow
can’t believe just how far
we have gone now
I never guessed
I never lost my hope
it has always been here
all the time now
what did you see when you were suffering
just take your broken heart
make it art*
so I sing
I see the world I see the light going
and it’s time to begin
light the flame
we ever burn we ever want so much
for the spell that now holds us to break
love is what I hope we sing next
