lyrics

There's fire in the sky, Yes we're all gonna die
But wake up, it was a dream
But then I look outside, and the crowds are whaling loud
Disdain deafening my ears

What good is philosophy when, You're skeletons are trapped
In the closet with your shame
You could write me pretty words , You can try to make me weep
But will i care when god or satan finally comes for me?

Go to the store, go to the mall
Shop for all the meanings in life
That you can't find on your own
And become a plastic doll

And as I'm walking around, in this daze of commitment
I wonder how much of this is real
Public servants controlling the emotions of the masses
Little do we know its just a speech writer's show
And no matter what side you hear, it all just sounds the same
Empty promises and mistakes, as if they have no blame
Gaslighting themselves to believe they are the ones
To save us from ourselves
Well who the fuck asked for your help?

Maybe your love will save me, Or maybe i can save me
From myself, from my deities
Or my demons, or my guardian angels
Maybe they're all the same

And the man on the tv, telling me who i should be
Well i suppose that might help me
Cause who am i to say, What i want or what i need
Am i even this body? Oh please tell me thats not the case

Hands up, heads down, whisper your sweet prayers and kiss your ass goodbye
Cause Theres a man on the chair, as innocent as can be
But the color of his skin is just enough to say guilty, so tell me
When will they say, these sins just aint okay
Thats it thats it, we've had enough

Well Your divisive propaganda don't speak for us no more
We're cutting our puppet strings, we're gonna go out and help the poor
All these rapists, pedophiles,
Millionaire cheap-skate thieves
Racists, fascists, hypocrites, and all who oppose peace
They won't have a place to hide, from this thing they call justice
And this nightmare, that I woke up to
Will become a dream
