The Frequency of Fear
02:15
|
|||
Sitting in the tub, you’re washing your hair
Oh sure, it seems like you might not even care
But it’s draining, sucking out your life force
Resist wickedness, wickedness on the r-i-i-ise
The frequency of fear
Consciously you don’t even know
The vibration is so very low
It’s all around but you cannot even hear it
Don’t tune into it, don’t tune into fe-earrrr
That frequency’s so clear
Oh sure you think you’re exempt
You follow policies and show your contempt
While they are stealing your soul
A non-stop campaign of fear
You have to take possession of your own mind
Or they will drive you to fi-i-ind
The frequency of fear
Placating fear with power and greed
Never satisfies fear
Never satisfies need
You must remember

I saw you out walking
We stopped and were talking
I asked you directions
You said:
"We're going the same way
(Gypsum mortar)
What's your name?
Mine's the same"
So you took my hand
And I fell into a dream
So tired of all of life's travails
And I fell so sound asleep
By the time I woke up
We were sailing far to sea
And every step I tried to make
Crumbled underneath my feet
I stopped and with clear eyes
I saw through all your lies
Suddenly, I realized
Oh no:
I don't know who you are
(Gypsum mortar)
Who's to blame
It's a shame
Was it trick or treat
Did you plan this grand deceit?
I can't believe the fool I was
Falling for this make believe
Living life that way
Fooling everyone one you meet
You try to hide the shame inside
Only truth can set you free

The Setting Sunrise

What would you say if I told one day
That the world may not always be
Would you try to twist signs and falsely define
The things that you see?
You tell me they don't appreciate the world that we live in
Don't you believe that they ought to reprieve their souls?
It's only writing on the wall
But they refuse to see at all
When those in power play their money games
They ruin this world, they ruin for all
Open your eyes to the setting sunrise
Of a world that's deeply forlorn
Our place in the sun could finally become
Lost to the sea
When we realize as the waters rise, nothing last forever
Bringing us back to the possible fact, sadly
It's only writing on the wall
But money talks, it makes the call
When those in power have no conscience
They ruin this world, they ruin for all
They don't really care
It's a mad affair

Live For Yourself
02:27

You've got to live for yourself
You can't live for anybody else
No one should make you feel a fool cut you down
No one you love should every push you around
Because nobody (Nobody)
Nobody (Nobody)
Nobody (Nobody)
In this world should do that to you
(Do that to you)
There are people in this world
Who will try to own you, crush your soul
They are coming from a place of fear
So you can't let them, steer clear my dear
Because nobody (Nobody)
Nobody (Nobody)
Nobody (Nobody)
In this world should do that to you
Do that to you
Once I had a guy, once I had a guy, not so kind
He told me what to do, what to do all the time
Told me who I was, wanted me to live for him and nobody else
But I got wise, took back my life, and kicked him out of the house
Cause you've got to live for yourself
You can't live for anybody else
Don't let 'em tear you down and crush your soul
That's not the right way to live, you know
Because nobody (Nobody)
Should cut you down to size
And nobody (Nobody)
Needs to put you in your place
And nobody (Nobody)
You've just got to realize
Nobody ooh!
Nobody (Nobody)
Nobody (Nobody)
Nobody (Nobody)
In this world should do that to you

I'm gonna say something you probably won't be happy with
I feel your pain, your shame, your motivations
You better believe me I can see clearly
And I feel your anger and your jealousy
It's in your soul
You can't hide it!

Descending

Taking a walk past your house tonight
The air is cold and the moon is high
Picked up the pieces that you threw away
Memories of a goal lost today
I wish you weren't so far away
I wish this wasn't just another day
Sitting in darkness by the fire
The words we spoke together never stopped
Feelings lie, they don't go away
Music from another time, delayed
I walked with you through the luring night
Arm and arm, we were out of sight
I looked inside your mind, I saw
A lovely picture filled with light, diffused
But now the world has changed so much
A bitter sweet and salty sanguine truth
Oh no, it wasn't what you wanted to be
Tomorrow wasn't what you wanted to see
"Please don't forget me," he said without guile
"Never regret me," she said with a smile

I thought that maybe you were still here
But now I know you're gone forever
They took your sweetness and they squashed it
They broke your mind, they knew no better
Tangled your heart with violence and grief
Projected sins upon your living
That they were wrong is no consolation
A broken mind is not forgiving
In dreams I ask you if you've found relief
No longer bound by worldly beliefs
And so we sit here contemplating
Wishing we could have loved you better
To shine some light upon your shadow
To show you every day's a new day
The world just keeps on going on without you
Remembering the child you once were

The Mourning After
02:41
|

In the mourning after
Hearts and lives are broke
They've gotta wash away the blood
Reliving trauma
And violence
How could you have a chance?
No vision given to change circumstance
Poverty can be so cruel!
Seen through a lens
Just a few miles away
A scene on the screen, it welcomes the day
But what do we know
About living this way?
Reliving trauma
Imagine
How could you live free?
How could you be snug in your bed
When visions of violence dance in you head?
In the mourning after
Justice flows like molasses
They washed the blood away
