I Run
05:32

Among the rungs of the desolate cityscape
As they chase me down the twisting alleyways
Within the empty tenements I’ll escape
Surely they won’t find me
I run, doesn't matter who from
Through empty strip malls, parking lots
Through thousand foot forests
And crumbling city blocks
They wouldn’t search every vacant room
On every floor of every vacant skyrise
Their hounds could sniff for days
But not every potential hiding spot
Leave the hangar or the warehouse
Where it’s easier to spot movement
Scamper down the hallways like a mouse
To the fields where I’ll escape
Past the orange glow of the industrial lights
Where I’ll get out of sight, conceal me,
Though the forest’s dense and dark
I’ll brave the black night
What’s it that causes me to want to run?
Through empty strip malls, parking lots
Through thousand foot forests
And crumbling city blocks
I run, doesn't matter who from

Golconda

Crush you under
Corporate fingers
Lest you try to act against us
Strip you naked
for the prison
Cut the earth with
Giant scissors
‘Nuisance in the way of my manifest destiny’
‘Live our will, be our serfs and,
Let your helplessness become your guide,’
They can play malevolent gods
But their broad facade, you recognize
This is what occurs when they realize you won’t bow
Water cannons
in freezing weather
Thrown grenades and
Silent anchors
Lest you try to act against us
Freeze you up and
Starve you out
They who think us nothing more than ants
Ghosts of past relentless greed
never left, I must understand
Where's the fiery pioneer
with the slaughterhouse mentality?
He is now the CEO,
“I let the sheriff do my work for me”
Silence isn’t peace in this
Golconda that you keep from me

Silent Majority

We sit in this prison that you made for us
But the funny thing is you’re in here too
Powerful men mould your mind, convincing you the blame’s on us
Filled with anger while the real reason escapes you
Who is the silent majority?
Sneaking round the annals of history
A decision away from kristallnacht
The person sitting next to me
I swing from the strings of brats and bullies’ ignorance
Who is the silent majority
Watching from their windows with apathy
“Decisions are made by someone else
My ignorance, I take pride in”
We swing from the strings of monolithic companies
We’ve been pushed backwards but we’re not powerless
We sit in this prison that you made for us
But the funny thing is you’re in here too
Powerful men mould your mind, convincing you the blame’s on us
Filled with anger while the real reason escapes you

With Eyes Unseeing

A haven, the forest was
And their home was on the earth
There was wonder in the vines and
Each flower had its worth
Then it took them away
and shoved them indoors
Cuffed them to the chairs
To move no more
Their Faces to the floor
The stress they can’t absorb
Emotions torn apart
But their mouths must remain shut
Then it took them away
and shoved them indoors
Cuffed them to the chairs
To move no more
Shaping was mandatory
They were put on the tray
and burned within the oven
‘Til they hardened like a clay
So when the time came
to return to the forest
They looked with eyes unseeing
