Honest truth be told
Yet another time
Bout them seeking gold
The never enough kind
To get power & control
They buy legal bribes
Wanna let yall know
We can't let that go
They want us to fold
Give 'em all our dime
Shoot from a grassy knoll
Don't bother to hide
Live out of a fancy mold
Only we provide
We can stop it though
We just have to know
All them lies & justifying
A way to behave
It's not normal
To need a medal
Deaf & blind to the signs
Leadin to their graves
They oughta know
We won't let go
Willingly you frame
& destroy people's lives
But when you play that game
Be prepared to dive
Think we don't share same
Instincts to survive
With all that we know
How long can you hold?
You want the easy fame
While we do the grind
Aren't you a bit ashamed
Not a single time
“'was there to take” you claim
How's your peace of mind?
When it's time to go
Which way will you throw?
All them lies & justifying
Your way to behave
And after the climb
You sure you'll be fine?
Deaf & blind to the signs
Leadin to your graves
You oughta know
We die alone

You (might) wanna bear in mind
They can launch the nukes yeah
Please don’t be blind
You should be worried too
Don’t you leave behind
What you felt when spooked yeah
In their design
We cant hide from being used
Too many stains not forgotten
Hide in plain sight so we get confused
So many things could be unbroken
Abiding by hiding all the truths
Too many stains not forgotten
Hide in plain sight so we get confused
So many things could be unbroken
‘but they getting by, killing people too
like a nation without a shrine
They got thrones and dukes yeah
They sell bombs & mines
Who would want a truce
Need us on their frontlines
Can’t leave fore they’re juiced yeah
We’re barely alive
Doin what they tell us to
You might say nevermind
They control the news yeah
I’d like them to resign
Maybe we should leave too
Cuz if we don’t have the spine
They’ll laugh at our rebuke yeah
Some can’t read the sign
Some have given up too
Too many stains not forgotten
Hide in plain sight so we get confused
So many things could be unbroken
They getting by, killing people too
Too many stains not forgotten
Hide in plain sight so we get confused
So many things could be unbroken
They getting by, killing people too

MASTERS OF MAKE BELIEVE

We can't figure out
Truth from make believe
Refrain you to see
They don't want you to be free
We'd rather go on ‘bout
Life as we would dream
You have have to agree
We're getting killed by TV
They might wanna try
‘Nother trick up them sleeves
You wouldn’t worry
Be sure they'll bet on green
Keep on falling down
Way down on your knees
Assume this to be
Some sort of a final plea
Sometimes life is not
What chu you want it to
You want it to be
You wanted to feel glee
You say we are from
Cloth made to be pursued
Would you be ready
To switch with an unsullied?
Think it’s so easy
To put your mind at ease
They don’t wanna deal
With their own disease
Keep on falling down
Way down on their knees
Assume this to be
Some sort of a final plea

HOOD

You say you’re better than mine
Think we’d look good on a leash
You used to watch and feel fine
Merely just a few dangling feet
Yeah
Some say it’s past ancient times
I wonder how can it be
Way too many useless crimes
Is still the way you wanna teach?
Yeah
If the blind man could see – yeah
And the dead girl could breathe
We could call your deceit - yeah
Hoping you wont agree
Instead of fear and pure vile
Why don’t you try another preach
Dig deep down for a smile
Might get a reward for each
Yeah
We dont always decide
What we can admit to be
You wont believe for a while
We all come from the same peach
Yeah
When the blind man will see – yeah
And the dead girl will breathe
They might be beyond grief
Think you might not agree

FEATHER
03:42
|

You might regret this
But I’m not sure
It’s worth the death kiss
You were done
On a feather like I drew
You were gone
Blew the place as if I knew
You knew
She had to reel you in
I'm not gonna let her win
And leave you all betrayed
You choose
Not to let it burn in
I’m not gonna sell you in
And let her get away
I meant to
Bring you back this
It’s a puzzle
Made of bad bliss
In this life
Running out of luck we do
One more time
Circle back and start anew
You knew
She had to reel you in
I'm not gonna let her win
And leave you all betrayed
You choose
Not to let it burn in
I’m not gonna sell you in
And let her get away
