Lets debate about U
Why do U do what U do
Who made what U R
U say you're C
But I say U might be A or B
Let's debate that
Let's debate your rights
But what is free speech
Can U really know anything
Why R famous people famous
Let's debate that
Let's debate the color blue
Let's debate about U
Do something we can meme
Can U even know what is true
Does this sound like a cult
Do question everything
Do U debate that grass is green
Let's debate about u
U can't trust them
They lie about everything
Let's debate about U
Wanna ban some more books
Let's debate about U
Let's dissect your thoughts, reasons & motivations
Let's debate u
Let's debate about U
Let's debate ABOUT YOU!

Restless Always
02:37
|
|||

Back awake
& into this dream
Cold coffee & time
Frayed at the seam
Window is up
The world's half asleep
Rain's moving in
Last nite was too deep
I'm restless always
I'm restless anyway
Shower & fashion
Dust, rust & the mud
Letters in the street
The days of the flood
Back 2 the drink
C'est la vie 4 us all
A broken wing & a tune
2 sing as we fall
Cos I'm restless always
I'm restless anyway
From dream 2 dream
I'm restless always

Filling in the gaps
Because he needed detailed maps
Looking 4 the center
The exit door is just a renter
Off the cliff
Into oblivion
The morning bells
Postmeridian
AI 2 keep him comfy
When reality gets bumpy
Bootcamps 4 the ego
Where the 1 went there the we go
Off the cliff
Into oblivion
The morning bells
Postmeridian
Ya see, the lesson of the Titanic sinking
Is that the Titanic was the iceberg
It was a monstrosity in conception
& a disaster b4 it even set sail
Hurt & scared & broken
Manicured but never woken'd
Angry at the changing
Lots of theories, always explaining
Off the cliff
Into oblivion
The morning bells
Postmeridian

Lie
02:02
|
|||
|
Counting on it
Counting backwards
Counting corners
Breaking at words
It's a lie
No time 2 worry
No time 4 thinking
I'm going under
Upwards as I'm sinking
Lies
Talk about god
Talk 2 nothing
Count it backwards
A change of something
It's lies
It's all lies
Words at breaking
Corners counting
Backwards counting
It on counting
A lie
It's all lies

So Well Known
02:54
|
|||
|
All that rage & so thin skinned
& then 1 day gone like a fart in the wind
"Read the room again", U like 2 say 2 us
But you're the only 1 that wants 2 make a fuss
& around we go
The unknown is so well known
Project yourself project your paranoia now
Cos you're the dark forces, come & take a bow
No, there is no power that is in control
Just a few hate mongers like U, ya troll
& around we go
The unknown is so well known
It's just the chaos of life that scares U bad
You're seeing signs where there's none
& that drives U mad
No, there's no great plan or conspiracy
Just the rot in your brain narcissistically
All that rage & so thin skinned
& then 1 day you're gone like a fart in the wind
& around we go
The unknown is so well known

True 2 Life
02:51
|

|
I'm wasting my time
The best way I know how
I'm dancing with the odds
Cos the evens ran out
Cos it's true 2 life
It's all I feel 2nite
Can't play this guitar
Can't sing worth a darn
I don't know where I'm going
I never stick 2 a plan
Cos it's true 2 life
It's all I feel 2nite
Don't care what comes next
I got no fashion 2 flaunt
I've been dodging the needs
& I ditched all the wants
Cos it's true 2 life
It's all I feel 2nite
Cos it's true 2 life
Neither wrong nor right

Times r Tough
02:15
|
|||
|
14 cell phones
Pickup truck
Netflix on the boat
Times R tough
GPS 2 get me there
Air bnb is everywhere
Vacations when it's getting rough
Times they sure R tough
Camper set up on the beach
Red Lobster now within our reach
Need room 2 pile up all this stuff
Times they sure R rough
Times they sure R tough
Life, it is sure is rough
Cos times, they're really tough
When you're trying 2 find room
4 all this stuff

Preserve
02:48
|
|||
|
A new alliance
Of self reliance
No socialism
In our group's position
No redistribution
Except 4 tax cuts & air pollution
No collectivism
In our legislated vision
What U preserve
Goes on a shelf
U can spread it on toast
U can eat it yourself
Our paranoia
Is our conspiracy
A fear of knowledge
So consistently
We'll give U freedom
& take away your rights
By law, examine your junk
& make U tell us there R 5 lights
What U preserve
Goes on a shelf
U can spread it on toast
U can eat it yourself
That which U preserve
Is already dead
The conditions U think U deserve
R all in your noggin
What U preserve
Goes on a shelf
U can spread it on toast
U can eat it yourself

Washed Away
02:53
|

|
Hey machine
What's new 2day
Hey, machine
What did U destroy
Tidal wave?
Broken mountain top
Hey machine
How many do U employ
Wash it away
Power points presentation
Pie charts, defamation
System down
& river dry
No matter how
Hard we try
It gets washed away
Maybe not
But maybe then
If only if
We could see the end
Time 4 the same old dream
Every day exactly what it seems
Washed away
Washed away
Washed away
Washed away
Washed away
Washed away

in my way
02:28

|
Don't wanna build, don't wanna last, don't wanna fly
All my dreams R built on dreams built on a lie
Don't have nothing of worth at all or worth a damn
No goals, no wants, no needs, no seeds, no stupid plan
It's all turning 2 dust anyway
I'll fall & become just dirt in my way
Don't know about god, don't know if there's a heaven don't really care
I wake up each day eat, drink & play then sit & stare
Into the sky, into the dark then I fall asleep
Stay where I'm at put on a hat, rinse, dry, repeat
It's all turning 2 dust anyway
I'll fall & become just dirt in my way
I'm gonna waste as much time as I can
I wanna crash & burn every day
Doing less 2 get the least out of it all
Cos neither I nor what I got is gonna stay
It all turns 2 dust anyway
I'll fall & become just dirt in my way
