Life In A Suitcase 02:33
lyrics
buy track
There's a question of indifference To me or not to be Lift up your voice & go silent Sing so the crowd doesn't attack U Build your house as an investment Build your life as a career Think once about your dedication Think twice if you're inclined 2 doubt Changing is the fashion of tolerance Reason is the victim of prejudice Don't wait 2 long 2 leave the herd Make sure your life fits in a suitcase Pack your bags Make sure your life fits in a suitcase Pack your bags The road goes nowhere Forever

A Consumer Guide 2 A More Profitable, Mundane Existence 02:19
lyrics
buy track
Too many things a distraction Too many things I must buy 2 get 2 the next moment Planned obsolescence of a lifetime Oil based products that are disposable memories 2day was all I have, I know I'm busy making profits 4 people I never see What does it take 2 make it matter Why is everything so difficult from nite 2 nite Even the birds R stressed now The wind drifts calmly over the world's calamity Change come suddenly, they say So they keep rearranging the shelves at the box store The victims The vice We're both & so we're twice The victims The vice We're both & so we're twice The victims The vice We're both & so we're twice The victims The vice We're both & so we're twice

U Sure You're Just Asking Questions? 02:22
lyrics
buy track
Banning books & banning brains Cos life looks different from 30,000 ft. above ignorance But fear is easy 2 sell Door 2 door goose stepping Oh, it's a question Oh, another question U sure you're just asking questions? Information with no professors Everyone their own broken matrix An echo chamber of bias Alliance Reliance Oh, it's a question Oh, another question U sure you're just asking questions? I say it's raining but U don't agree Because team B says the sky is clear Loyalty has replaced science Exaggeration put under a magnifying glass Oh, it's a question Oh, another question U sure you're just asking questions?

Keep The Dark Away 02:11
lyrics
buy track
It's nite keep the fire going Darkness is so consuming Always there & always waiting More wood 4 the flames Cut down those trees over there Keep the dark away It will soon be dark again The other animals may attack But we will make food of them first & the rest we will hunt 2 extinction More trees 4 the fires now Keep the dark away It feels safer with all the forests gone But hotter under the unrelenting sun The waters have all dried up now Now I fear U & U fear me There is no life in the world now & we predators must eat each other 2 keep the dark away
5.
Will It Ever Rain? 02:50
lyrics
buy track
Is a tragedy a kaleidoscope Is mid-nite the start of day Does the sunlight mix with rain Does right now ever go away Will the sun ever eat the mountains Will the light ever touch the earth Do thoughts poison every fountain Do the worst get what they deserve Is there a reason 2 believe in everything Is it obvious to expect nothing Is the whole world taking the gloves off Trivial pursuit in search of nothing Is every day the same Is every nite again Will it ever rain Rain just to begin Rain just to begin Rain just to begin

Freedom Is The Sport 01:49
lyrics
buy track
Freedom is the sport Self-sacrifice the fool's errand Chance, the only true god Belief, the devil's curse Random is the day is long Consequences taste better in the morning Probability the tyrant's calculations Language the delicate art of thieves Anger is the button at the top Grief is the lever on the bottom Aging is the last laugh of irony 2 see better when your sight is fading Randomness in numbers Chance & nothing more The bitter tasting harvest The closed & open door
7.
The Fog Of Thought & Dreamless Hesitation 02:07
lyrics
buy track
I need a reason 2 have a reason & frequently I embrace spontaneity But when reading books I grow too impatient The narrative moves fast past the best places It's not that I don't believe in hesitation It's just that hesitation doesn't believe in me If I could stop time I would, 2 stay right here Neither the future or the past seem worth while Here comes the fog & cold again Now I'm stuck in a moment of doubt & faith 2 believe that the air will clear again I must wait & keep moving at the same time
8.
It's Now The Past 02:17
lyrics
buy track
Why do we need rhythm Why do we need looks Why do we need suggestion There's no subtlety in books Slow it down it's all 2 fast Slow it down it's now the past What if heaven existed What if god says what she means What if time is going backwards & going forwards is the moments in between Slow it down it's all 2 fast Slow it down it's now the past Where is the wind when U need it Where do the rivers go 2 sleep Where R the mountains of the past Plant no harvest & you've nothing 2 reap Slow it down it's all 2 fast Slow it down it's now the past 1 more day Yesterday Wake 2 dream Rip the seams Slow it down it's all 2 fast Slow it down it's now the past

At All Costs 03:03
lyrics
buy track
At all costs every day 2 buy & 2 be bought I wonder sometimes about stuff But distractions are a dime a dozen Oh America, land of landfills Home of plastics & empty malls U keep talking about hard times as U buy more & now no one can afford a home Yes, another rant about materialism Why not? Just sitting at home generates profits for corporations And I'm writing this on paper While I lament deforestation So who among us can judge When the judge ruled we must all play a part & we once were actors on a stage Now we're players in the video game It's just not the same The sun & the rain Don't wanna play a game Wanna be an actor on a stage Play the part assigned 2 me Without hope & history

But They're Really Good At Business 02:11
lyrics
buy track
The wolves R back Gathering in the moonlight Next 2 the old oak tree Come join us they call But they're really good at business they're really good at business they're really good at business Buy in What's your excuse 4 staying home No pack, no track Wolves R social animals after all Great authors they R no But they're really good at business they're really good at business they're really good at business Buy in They seem clever from a distance Up close they're a paper map 2 the beach The smartest of them 2 dumb 2 become a collie They live on the outskirts of their prey & scavenge 4 the crumbs But they're really good at business they're really good at business they're really good at business Buy in It's a gig economy It's a gig economy It's a gig economy & everyone a potential client

Individuality Through Conformity 02:02
lyrics
buy track
Progress is a way of living It's not a new parking lot Business is best when it's personal Communal marketing is the worship of hell A better 2morrow keeps away Over the next hill, while the hill is still there They say a coal mine will take the mountain off Infrastructure is next 2 godliness The system is a combustion engine Car bills R liberation House payments show our independence Individuality looks best in conformity

Post-Industrial Instruction Manual 4 The Disposable Workforce 01:56
lyrics
buy track
What a great day 4 them 2 read about it all In a book A fantasy Of a reality A microwave gourmet dinner Here is your pay & here is TV See yourself there Where U know U R not Dream big little fish & take the bait Run faster now the sun is setting soon! But it sets every day Oh! Channel all your energy into engineered necessity Spend your time thinking about how 2 spend your time 2day is opportunity 2day is profit If U stop 2 smell the flowers There's a tax Run faster now The sun is setting soon Run faster now The sun is setting soon But it sets everyday But it sets everyday Oh.

The Reprehensible, The Language & The Blood Red Wine 02:53
lyrics
buy track
Do U believe in the power of language? Do U believe in the sorcery of imagination? Do U believe in the evils of communication? Do U drink from the cup U pour? R U taught by observation & not by words? Do U look at the sky & see worms? Do U dream of a life that you'll never have? Do U see the mountains in the sky cut down by greed? The reprehensible, the language & the blood red wine A sun at nite it's burning in the wide blue sky All the oceans full of words that drifted away All the endings that U felt that would not stay
