Hotel Blues

When the time is all out
And the cash is all gone
We won’t give up or give in
We won’t give up or give in
Bills stack up
The system’s corrupt
And so this will begin
And so this will begin
When the battle’s won
This tears me apart
You know this aint the way
You know this aint the way
Time has it’s bark
and it walks the walk
You know I’m here to stay

I lost my will to walk with spite
Everything is perfect in hindsight
You sponge my conscience dry
You give me dreams as death runs by
not looking back, I'm not looking back
I'm not looking back
No fears in matters
Even righteous paths are fragmented
I lost my patience in the storm
sometimes the only voice I hear is my own
You're not alone, You're not alone
not looking back, not looking back
I'm not looking back
No fears in matters

Some have it figured for you
And some just don’t care
some walk on pins and needles
cause they fear the air
Everything costs something but you
Give your heart for free
Disintegrating faster than it holds
You owe nothing
Oh you are standing
when the whole world falls apart
God, save us, oh

Break Free
02:48
|
|||
you say a lot of things
When you don't say anything
why do you trick your self into
thinking that I'm your generation
smothering fiction
dividing citizens while this world is burning itself halfway to death
What’s the mix up
Time is shifting
They reap this land
splitting fields with broken pacts
It’s hard to hope here
When peace is fragmented
It's time to kill the systems that were constructed underhanded

What's Your Way in Me
03:01
|
|||
Overcome, overcome with jealousy
I'm on my knees
Survival of the fittest
Common ground, common ground, souls depart from wicked ways
It's the coldest day of winter
What's your way in me?
I walk around, all around the cityscape, my passerbys
they're alive and they are sized
No time can pass no money lasts
grocery bags can break your back
I just want to get away
What's your way in me?

You told me so much about the trip you all took
Without saying it was a tragedy overlooked
They were so far from home in their own homes
How can I give it a shot ?
when it's so hard to believe
Essence was poisoned with government approval
No one can count the deficits
Would you do this to your palaces
Can't give them rights and now you take away lives
How can I give it a shot ?
when it's so hard to believe
Essence was poisoned with government approval

Seas and landlocked states
are stressed with weight
--
I never told you
It’s surreal
This one’s giving me a blur
To tell you, surreal
This ones giving me a blur
---
Oh, such a shame
Oh, the things we say
oh the Simple things
Can also fray
Don’t be afraid
I am here to stay
and I’m not some kind of tool
But perfect
That's hearsay
I never told you
It’s surreal
This one’s giving me a blur
To tell you, surreal
The world is now one

Whistle Mountain

I was born on this side of the road
They made the call but had nowhere to go
and the rest is just a bunch of history
I was born in the ecosphere
I was born and the time is here
There ain't nothing wrong being yourself
Cutting grass and it's fire outside
wish it would last, this heat at night
I stand up while the world burns down
I was born in the ecosphere
I was born and the time is here
There ain't nothing wrong being yourself
I’ve got nowhere to go but out
If the end is here then how did it all come about?

Would You Believe
03:30

Would you beleive as if these places we called home
are not just four walls and roof that leaks into
my mind, it can be it’s own democracy
Would you beleive that this state of mind
As a collective is fragmented under
Why I’m a human being
Their minds' alive but its' eye has died
Their minds alive but their eye has died
all those things that are sad to say
wish I never said
wish I never did say again
all these things they can end before they begin
if I can make just one change today
then I know you can
and I know we can do it again
all these they can end before they begin
Would you believe that you can change these patterns
Would you believe that you don’t have to be weathered with dangers
Would you believe that everything can be repaired
Would you believe that you can change these patterns
Would you believe that we can stop this war tonight
Their minds' alive but its' eye has died
Their minds alive but their eye has died
all those things that are sad to say
wish I never said
wish I never did say again
all these things they can end before they begin
if I can make just one change today
then I know you can
and I know we can make it again
all these they can end before they begin

we've always been animals
The devils in the details here
we lost it
we masquerade like we're so good
we wrestle where the ethics stood
we lost it
the trial
defined
we are casualties of our own greed
do better
fight harder
we need a miracle to survive
we cant bend the horizon
we have this day given
we need this, believe this
listen to the prohpecies
wading in the tides in spring
we have this
the trials
defined
we are casualties of greed
do better
fight harder
we need a miracle to survive

Working for Me
03:52

Everybody’s chain reaction
Don't let it go
Let it go away
oh we gotta get together
oh we gotta get together
There’s no delaying
----
Cause you're working for me
---
I've got material reasons
Don't push your luck
Push your luck today
Oh it's not the kind of season
That's what they say
----
Cause you're working for me
---
Gotta live a little stronger
Gotta live with strength in numbers
while they drift away
oh we gotta get together
there's no delaying
This revolution starts with you
It's not about what they say for you to do
The revolution starts with you
The best way isn't the easiest through
Cause you're working for me

nature doesnt care
Sky breaks across not so far away
flights are delayed, we’re counting down
are you listening?
I can't even tread here lightly
you wish you could but you can't stop us now
flashes breaking high
rained out cargo freights , as we wait
There's a series echoing on and on
TVs parading news
Animal world leaders wear suits
everyone just aches to get on home

its not long ago or far away
when thoughts give way to these angles
Is there anyone who tells you that
this is careless treason
ah
is this real?
it's not found
and you're still
all this talk and hating
and the filters decimating with these dangers
they're snuffing all the questions
they'll listen to your phone calls
its debated
ah
is this real?
it's not found
and they still act like they cannot answer you

well we're in the company of magicians
It's too late, such an understatement to be frank here
Can we address the elephant in the room or will it destroy all of us
How long can we allow ourselves to be dictated by those who derange here
as i walk through the narratives on the boulevards
there's trash that blowing in the wind
TVs tilting scales
who sways destinies
that drain to sea
the dust will never settles
It's the struggle of existence
Well I thought this was the end here
Too late just an understatement to be frank here
I can't deny this argument that they'll be better than you give them credit for
These broken bones tell systems that ruin them were done with these sayings
as i walk through the narratives on the boulevards
there's trash that blowing in the wind
TVs tilting scales
who sways destinies
that drain to sea
the dust will never settles
It's the struggle for existence
