Obligations
04:01
|

we are at home
we can't start over
we are alone
automated obligations
we call this home
we can't leave here
you are not alone
you and i are obligated
i cannot leave this body
can’t shake this earthly veil
i am not free from sickness
i cannot run from sorrow
i cannot shut out violence
can’t turn away from pain
there is no perfect silent planet
to give us shelter when this place go up in flames

Song You Can Dance To
03:33
|

here's a song you can dance to
i know you love to dance
here's a song that will carry you through
remember that time I danced with you?
we've waited for so long
here's a song you can dance to
some say there's no way to win so you might as well give up
but stay strong! ~ we'll just sing along
and there's nowhere left to turn without looking in another mirror
but that mirage is false! ~ may I have this waltz?
there's some people shouting from their window panes
"make such and such a certain way"
but they probably never take the time to dance
yesterday and tomorrow might be sad
but today we're gonna take the time to dance
here's a song you can dance to
i know you love to dance
here's a song that will carry you through
here’s a song you can dance to
we’ve waited for so long
here’s a song that will carry you through

Lifestyle
04:06

i took a walk
i had a thought
i'd like to do better
those mines and pipelines i oppose
heat my apartment
warm my shower
fuel my stove
and that corporatocracy i villainize
is powered
when i drive
i hope we turn this thing around again
i don't have answers, but i've heard we're out of time
this is quite a little bind we're in
if we're all together it shouldn't seem so hard to change my lifestyle
it's time I took a look around again
people gather try their damnedest to live right
we might actually still figure it out
if there's seven generations i hope that they can say we gave it a try

Welcome Home
03:13
|
|||
only in silence, words
only in darkness, light
only in dying, life
welcome home
i hope you'll be staying for awhile
it’s so nice to have you near
reminds me of when I was a child
please stick around awhile
welcome home

Dust N Ashes
04:23
|
|||
are you time or gravity?
what deity is this who tricks the gods of stone and sky to kneel before the void?
before the void
before the void
before the void
i stand on shores in distant pasts
sun set consistently
moon waxes, wanes the same
just the same
just the same
just the same
calling out
here and now
folding in
holding out
holding out
holding out
just the same
just the same
will i be there?
was i there then?
what do i know?
look who's asking
dust n ashes
only human
