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

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
5.
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
