I saw you building up your tallest castle
This’ll be the third one to cast its shade
You got a hundred wheels turning heads around
Round and round till their sweat it stains
Shirts and bottoms sowed by foreign needles
But why’s your pocket full while they’re not fed?
And would you build a moat if you could dig away?
No you wouldn’t, your hands don’t push, they pull strings
We’ve crossed the river on our broken vessels
Drowned and cried over the loss of lives to date
Just to bring you water as you slept on silk
Dreaming of better ways to hook your bait
You my friends you have caused a riot
Disillusioned all the good people left here today
You have made essential all this ignorance
We have had it with your megalomaniac ways
We will not fall to the Earth
We will not fear till we hurt
We will not fall at your feet
We will not welcome defeat
You will not take our rights
You will not force us to fight
We will not drag through the mud
Our bodies will not spill our blood
You will not rule anymore
We’re taking you down from the throne

Know Her Name

Say what you want I won’t feel mortified
The force of a nation can’t rule my right to die
And reborn I will be from the touch of a harmless joke
You laugh unaware that I smile cause I know your kind
Who is he to bluntly justify
That she deserves her cup half full
Not more, maybe less, you were never good at math
Yet you’ll rule from the top, and she’ll serve as a sight to see
Yeah you wanna know
How to be a man?
Learn to speak
Without your hands
Oh my mind can’t comprehend the way we draw the
Lines across the ocean, when half the population
Can’t sail across cause we stopped their boats in motion
And made them believe, it’s their fault for being out of reach now
Oh you know whatever comes around must go back
Down with your ruling, this school isn’t doing the best it can
So pay your teachers the same
Let the world know her name
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?

And She Was Green

Before these hands they go to the place that you want
Fallen soldiers all drowned in the taste of your tongue
You like attention, a force of addiction
Everyone persists, no one’s giving you up
Windows are breaking, the hearts they are aching
The force of a storm, foreign puddles are shaking
The ripple effect, we stepped over the edge
We’ve gone too far now, what’s the price that you pledge?
You take, and you take, never give her away
You’re too rich, yes too rich, that’s the price that you pay
Give it a thought for once, at the edge of your knife, hangs an innocent life
Beyond the wind she hums ‘the way to the light, is through force of the fight’
Is it so hard to see that she’s just in your head?
Oh she’s just in your head
Yet you let her in
And she crawls into bed
Tells stories of the dead
You smile cause she’s comforting
Though her hand’s red
And she was green
The problem that’s there, is that children aren’t spared
To the future that comes, I protest and I share
‘Their homes are aflame
Their rulers ashamed
What sick kind of game
Did you play with their names?’
No it won’t be in schools, and it won’t be in charts
It’ll go down in history and tear you apart
Your sinister crimes, you were evil from the start
She’s tricked you so bad, now your blind in the heart
Give it a thought for once, at the edge of your knife, hangs an innocent life
Beyond the wind she hums ‘the way to the light, is through force of the fight’
Is it so hard to see that she’s just in your head?
Oh she’s just in your head
Yet you let her in
And she crawls into bed
Tells stories of the dead
You smile cause she’s comforting
Though her hand’s red
And she was green

Making My Way
04:24

Woke up in the morning
Feeling like I’m evolving
This coming of age
Marks the falling of faith
And now I’m running away
Start up in the highway
Steer left to go my way
This road is a mess
It’s too soon to confess
That I wanted to stay
Discover the void in the ocean of your heart
Fill it up with noise, say ‘I wanna play this part’
Spread the waves thin, wait for the calm
And dive
False hopes and a right mind
To form cues in the backline
Won’t signal my fate
I’m a son of the shade
And now I’m breaking away
Put your arms on your chest now
Follow me no don’t rest now
We’re one and the same
Please remember my name
Cause I’m saving the day
Discover the void in the ocean of your heart
Fill it up with noise, say ‘I wanna play this part’
Sail across this sea, I promise I won’t break down
Whose reality did you use to pave the ground?
Spread your wings wide, wait for the calm
And fly
Falling apart though is okay, I’ll start slow
These second doubts won’t last a minute
I paid to know the sky’s the limit
All of my thoughts now
I know my conscience will own it
I don’t need to discard the present
To form a future I want to live in
The moment of truth,
Is lying to you
The troubles of youth
Got nothing do
With feeling confused
This world is a ruse
And I’m making my way
Discover the void in the ocean of your heart
Fill it up with noise, say ‘I wanna play this part’
Sail across this sea, I promise I won’t break down
Whose reality did you use to pave the ground?
Spread your wings wide, wait for the calm
And fly

Tomorrow's Forecast

Well I can vouch for
The prominence of your mind
But we’ll drown in the sea before time can leave it behind
So save your small talk
And bury your heart in mine
We’ll head for the deep and swim when the rain arrives
Maybe it’s none of your fault
Hell’s freezing over
Can you feel it?
Maybe you can’t see it all
Let’s come together
And embrace it
You’re always in a rush
And the planet can’t keep up
Don’t curse at the wind when the storm it won’t fill your cup
Now we’re pointing fingers
What’s the point of this at all?
Yeah fight in the heat while the winter it kills the fall
Maybe it’s none of your fault
Hell’s freezing over
Can you feel it?
Maybe you can’t see it all
Let’s come together
And embrace it
Hey you
You justify norms like you wanna be told what to breathe
In and out, take this toxic air to sleep
And dream about a future
Where your nightmares are your children’s realities

The Rain Song
04:51

The rain that’s pouring, it’s impermanent
And I for one can’t wait for this not to stop
Tell all my friends that I’ve waited enough
You’re just as beautiful as when you first came down to the stop
And you stopped
This station’s like a weight on a page
Impatience echoed by the book you never read
How did you know when to put your umbrella down?
How did you know when to turn your gaze around?
And play the silence out with the stare so deep
It pierces through all reason, and makes me weak
Oh no, lately I’ve been thinking about your mind, your mind
Oh no, lately you’ve been sinking, into my mind, my mind

O' Lord & Savior

You know my lord and savior
I feel guilty for all the terrible sins that I missed to point out
Please excuse this behavior
I’ve been busy praying but now my fingers won’t tremble about
Leave your judgment in my hands now
Those who stray, they surely will bow
I know nothing of you
I’ve heard you know best
Why suffer in silence when I can speak for you instead
Your words they’re complex
Why read between the lines when I can rewrite on this space
Leave your judgment in my hands now
Those who stray, they surely will bow
'God is most powerful
Most merciful
Most gracious
But beyond everything else
She is most misunderstood'
'So assess your devotion
What brings you to your knees?'
What do I believe that helps me?
'Whatever that drives you, but doesn’t crash into their streets'
What if I don’t like the weather?
'Then block out the sunshine, but don’t rain on their parades
This is the stage, where you dance'

Honey I’m gonna save the world
I need a cape on my back and a pocket full of verbs
I want to speak of the action and take to the roads
Why don’t you pick out the food and I’ll cook when I’m home
Darling I need another plan
This cubicle isn’t helping me be a better man
I wanna take you out but I’ve taken all my life
Why don’t we give back together?
Just you and I
Who says you need to dance with the devil to join up with rebels
The cause isn’t evil when all of the people need a hand
And I have an extra to spare
Who says you need to abandon your family or live in the valley
Or quit your job to join up with rallies
No I don’t need to leave anything behind to move on forward.
Honey I’m gonna save the world
I need a room with no walls and paint on the floor
I’m breaking all of the rules, so call up your friends
And we can swim on the shore and sail on the bends
Darling I need another plan
These suits and ties aren’t helping me be a better man
I’ll turn the lights down low when the sun’s out today
And we can plant more trees and join the parade
Who says you need to dance with the devil to join up with rebels
The cause isn’t evil when all of the people need a hand
And I have an extra to spare
Who says you need to abandon your family or live in the valley
Or quit your job to join up with rallies
No you don’t need to leave anything behind to move on forward.
And I know and I know and I know and I know
You can get lost upon this winding road
And I know and I know and I know and I know
You can get lost upon this winding road
But you don’t have to do it on your own
And I know and I know and I know and I know
Hope is the hand on the clock that ticks too fast
But the moment is now
Don’t dwell in the past
And I know and I know and I know and I know
You can get lost
You can get lost
And I know and I know and I know and I know
You can get lost
We can get lost
Honey I’m gonna save the world
I need a cape on my back and a pocket full of verbs
I want to speak of the action and take to the roads
Why don’t you pick out the food and I’ll cook when I’m home
