THE WORLD HAS NOT GONE DEAD the world has not gone dead, it's just being bled dry by the time we work up the nerve to say something it's time to say so say goodbye there were golden rules the kind you would never break enough to go around and money to be made now it's all slash and burn, salt the earth and just move on fill your pockets pilfer profits before they know you are gone is this the world you want to leave your kids? at the hands of corporate interest bought and paid lobbyists we can't get any clearer than smoke and mirrors we can't get any higher than our heads above water sink or swim drown with the best of them dead eyes to the skies as if "heaven" holds the answers the debt a pound of flesh for lost keys to cures for cancer what is done in the dark can't escape the light for long

gordian knot 01:23
GORDIAN KNOT cutting through this life like alexander through the gordian knot i fell for you like napoleon at waterloo when life hands you lemons that bitter taste in your mouth see the trap for what it is circle the drain with one way out i've crossed the rubicon one more step and i am gone at hadrian's wall, the end of the earth the part where we all fall off we all fall why cant we give up on everyone who's given up on us? why cant we let go of everyone who's ever let us down?

LESSER THAN OR EQUAL TO hey! hey things don't change they don't stay the same no! no it doesn't mean you have to leave suddenly no place to go left out in the cold you left like a thief in the night passing the open windows out of sight out of mind we were kids doing stupid shit running scared, unprepared fucking up but no one cared it's all in our heads as we toss and turn in our beds why cant those days that never end be the ones that we don't forget? i thought better of you what happened to the friend i thought i knew? lesser than or equal to no one is better than you life is at risk when love is the gamble the keepers kept distance emotionless hope is at risk when trust it has failed you don't look back cut ties with the weight of lies you left like a thief in the night passing the open windows out of sight out of mind a thousand yard stare the distance that keeps you there

ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US you're the half-life of an echo out of control and fading fast iron clad net cast hold it out as long as you can try, you can try try to make it last the ever present futures past bullets raining down from mushroom cloud without a sound take me down to water's edge baptized by the rivers bed trial by fire i watched it burn but it's not dead all the worlds a weapon and the sky it aims to bleed one hundred million fingers pointing at you and me night keeps light in the corner a little further darkness sets in and night begins you keep thoughts like prisoners of a war of a war you never fought

INTRODUCTION TO SPACE AND TIME killing time with every breath if time could die let it meet it's end without space and measurement would this be it's death time and space they both collide in the time it takes to decide the rest of your life i'm not giving up til you've had enough in the seconds that we met i stretched my arms infinite to hold you here, here with me i'm not giving up on us what have you, what have you. whatever that you want to i'm at your mercy here, i'm at your door my dear there comes a time when everything you love in this life (your loss is no great cost) is laid out on the line and you can't just leave it all behind runaways never find the best laid plans of mice and men we never stood a chance everything has happened is happening this happens is happened through darkest night through brightest day you are both time and space what it means to wait everywhere and nowhere and nothing in between i meant every word i said i mean what i say you are worth the wait rinse wash repeat a reality we can't beat this cycle, this circle just like a hamster in it's wheel perpetually questioning what in this life is real if time was a flat line, could we fold it on it's side? could we hide and let time pass us by touching two points traveling back and forth like i have only just arrived out of the fray of the everyday

THIS IS NOT THE END walking wounded, conscious and breathing last i checked, our hearts are beating nothing in this life is sure but death and taxes there is no relief no one relaxes and the guilt, the guilt it kills eats you up inside the well wishes washed away the truth we try to hide the words i should have but never said like i miss you more than you know too selfish to let you go from our hearts from our heads i couldn't accept what happened to you kept safe in a state of distance kept myself from the truth but this is not the end this is not the end this is where whiskey won't work this isn't hell no this is far worse that voice in the back of your head saying "what have you done with yourself?" and that head feels like a bag of cats tied to a city bus arm and legs grinding gears and levers that just won't work it's not fair, it's never fair but it's my entire fault i allowed myself to believe it's not fair, it's never fair i never got a chance to say goodbye and this is how i grieve we come and we go, come and go and there is no coming back from this we come and we go, come and go this is final, this is funeral
