Corporate lies
Acquisitions of industry
Must retain
A facade of democracy
Rising above
The ethics of things
Does not mean
That that is the way it should be
We rule the world
The financial maze
We make it safe
For future gains
"We Light Your Way!"
So send the children to bed
Feed them tomorrow
Pale hope as their bread
Syndicate autocracy
Homogenous prosperity

Hadean eyes that burn on
Sweat-soaked sheets that bind me
Lady/Pain release me (make me feel)
Why can't I be free? (make me feel)
Reality doesn't change Only the names change
To protect the lies Let's keep the lies alive
By feeding them every day
Look in the mirror Smile at what you see
Ignore the three-foot metal pole
That juts out of your skull and smashes
Little seven-year-old Christine in the face
Making her bleed all over
The freshly waxed floor that shines like
Well, it shines like it never really knew
The meaning of the word "Hell"
Until maybe, well maybe, oh well
It probably still doesn't know the meaning of
Or even the
Oh well- small talk rides to work To get paid to work
And to get paid to ignore it
To get paid to avoid it To forget where he put it

Severed

Tell me a lie
Or tell me the truth
It's not that it matters
As long as we speak
Binds cannot hold
When severed in two
Telephone lives and empty envelopes
Root severed, tree dies
Say what you will
Believe what you like
But don't you recall that I was there too?
Grasping the sheets and calling your name
No message received, no knock at the door
Root severed, tree dies
Remember when you looked my way?
Believing that we felt the same
And now you're just another faceless
Memory

Heaven

Saw you standing there
Why weren't you crying
Thought I killed you
Got rid of you
Why'd I choose to stay?
I stay
In Heaven
Everything's so very perfect here
Except for you
Why don't you go?
Leave my soul
Maybe I'll just go
Leave you here
Alone
But they tell me it's forever
Guess we'll have to stay this way
Together
Couldn't lose you
Though I tried and tried
I even died
But now I see
We're still me

Black And White

You have a culture
We want a culture
But can only come up with
Slick imitations
Without any substance
We're the oppressed
Comfort has robbed us
Of the most primitive skill
The ability to feel
You are the living
You are the feeling
We are nothing
Complacency's robbed us
From the beginning
Of any real meaning
Please take this heed
It's happening to you
In much the same way
As it happened to us

My name is John
I'm here to play on the swings
The sun is very warm
And I'm happy to be here
I love the world
And God gave me this park
I'm free to roam at will
And I'm happy to be h...
Look what they've done to you
Punish you
Frightened boy
Hand's on the stove agin
Wrong again
Guilt machine
Shrink to your room again
No one can
Hurt you now
Scream to yourself again
No one can
Hear your pain
Life died inside of you
Long ago
Kill the pain
Nothing can penetrate
Fear and hate
Isolate
Stark white reality burns an impression
Indelibly set upon the frailty of youth
In life suspended, in life suspended
