Always Watching
03:14

They tell the stories
They make the rules
First they sell you cigarettes
And next they sell you Juuls
And then they try to fill you in
With all the sins, you see
And while the little bots
Begin to infiltrate your private thoughts
You talk about it with a friend
One day later, half past ten
All these little ads begin
To show how deep they go within
Because they're always watching us
They're always watching us
They're always watching us
They're always watching us
Ah, watching the red lights
In the skies above us
That are watching us all
And they know what you like
And they know what you wear
And they know that you care
And they know what you share
And they know what you fear
And they know that you're here
And they want to come near
And now they live inside your head
And they'll live there till you're dead
And they'll never go away
The institution's here to stay
They knew we couldn't be afraid
Of what we couldn't understand
Those who never take control
Well all they get is secondhand
Everybody's gonna die
Choked on a noose made of their lies
And while you're weeping in the corner
You just keep on asking why
Because it's all just by design
Because of all unpunished crimes
Ignoring that this life is short
We all survive on borrowed time
Still they gave us death
And called it liberty
Wasting all our energy
As little bots infect your minds
Smile, cos you're on camera
And they're listening in all the time
Every little thing they watch
Will buy another round of scotch
And as the money's pouring in
The idle rich indulge their sins
Meanwhile, you really wanna die
You think you're worth more dead than alive
But all your information has a price
And you gave it all up without thinking twice

Disappear Tonight
02:55
|
|||
|
Don't let anybody see you praying
Because when you're alone
All your thoughts are clear
Don't let anybody see you meditating
On all the things
That your heart holds most dear
It ain't about material things
It ain't about the TV shows
It ain't about celebrities
How long we have, God only knows
It ain't about black or white
It ain't about wrong or right
It ain't even about human rights
Cos we could all disappear tonight
Don't let anybody see you mourning
Cos when you give a smile
Well it lights up the room
Don't let anybody see you pouring out your grief
Cos they just don't understand
What you've gone through
It ain't about religion
It ain't about the queen
It ain't about the president
Or anyone you've seen
It ain't about love or hate
Nor an empty reason just to celebrate
But drink another shot or two anyway

Selfish
02:22

Who's more selfish?
The citizen who doesn't vote
Or the elegant politician
Who really loves her new fur coat?
Who's more selfish
The man who steals and kills for food?
Or the missionary who only wants
To feed him what she thinks is truth?
Who's more selfish
The kid who wants a new fishing pole?
Or his dad
With a hole in his arm where all his money goes?
Who's more selfish
The kid who's got a lot of dreams?
Or the teacher
Who's only care is test scores and degrees?
If all you want to cast is blame
You cast yourself right into shame
Cos heaven knows we're all the same
Eye for eye
Born to die
Living lies
And it's never ever going to change

Wishful Thinking
01:44
|
|||
|
I see I'm not like nobody else
After all this time just hating myself
A misanthrope that wishes you well
But I can't get happy
I wanted to get through to your heart
But it wasn't meant to work from the start
My whole world pretty much fell apart
But that's just living
I'm feeling like there's no hope at all
A camera might as well watch me fall
And if I'm lucky I can hide behind walls
But I know that's not living
Maybe God might send me someone
Maybe one day I just might have some fun
Being with my love just watching the sun
But that's just wishful thinking

Too Much
02:42
|
|||
|
I don't feel like talking
I don't even feel like singing
I gotta be alone sometimes
Sometimes I feel like dreaming
Sometimes the reality is just too much
I guess that I'm probably just out of touch
Tried so hard to fit in but it's never enough
Really ain't much difference so just treat it as such
Cos it's all too much
I don't feel like getting up
I don't feel like going out
I don't really got a plan
I really hope they understand
Maybe we could lend a hand
Maybe it's just circumstance
Maybe it's another day
Maybe it's another way
Sometimes the reality is just too much
I guess that I'm probably just out of touch
Tried so hard to fit in but it's never enough
Really ain't much difference so just treat it as such
Cos it's all too much
It's all too much
It's all too much
It's all too much

Graduation Days
03:07
|

On graduation day
I told myself I wouldn't miss a thing
I was so exhausted
I thought I was ready to leave
I thought I needed rest
I told myself I'd get a job real soon
I was so confident
I thought I'd make some moves
But 9 months later
I still wasn't going anywhere
I got so depressed
I couldn't sleep for crippling fear
Then this fucking virus
Shuts down the economy
Well maybe the man in the White House don't
But at least I take responsibility
For my own actions good and bad
But sometimes I get very sad
And now I gotta take a pill
So I don't have to feel so bad
I beat myself up way too much
Trying to hard to stay in touch
With people who don't care that much
And I wish I wasn't just as such
Such a fucking hypocrite
Such a fucking lunatic
I wish I wasn't self absorbed
I just wanna be a better man
I'm not even gonna lie
At some points I wanted to die
But now I know the reason why
I kept pressing on in life
I just wanna play my songs
I don't wanna do no wrong
I might make a few mistakes
But the audience won't hear it as well as I can

Unhappy
03:40
|
|||
|
You don't see what you've done
You're not the only one
I've realized that I'm done
And it's time to move on
You said it's way overdue
I must agree that it's true
You just can't deal with the stress
Blame me for why you've got less
You'll remain unhappy
With or without me
Blame whoever you like
Pretend you're always right
I can't work it out
I guess we're falling out
But you'll remain unhappy
With or without me
I know perfectly well
You or I can't change
You know as well that you've been making mistakes
Oh heaven knows you don't wanna end up estranged
But neither of us knows what kind of effort this takes
Will we remain unhappy?
Will we remain unhappy?
Will we remain unhappy?

Fall In Love
02:18
|
|||
|
He doesn't understand the meaning
Or the difference between lust and love
He loves his wife and kids at church
And adores his mistress at the club
He says he tries to be a standup guy
But you know that's just another lie
And he'll keep breaking everybody's heart until he dies
You said you hate to fall in love
You want but you hate to fall in love
When he doesn't think you're good enough
You're not the only one he's thinking of
You said you hate to fall in love
You want but you hate to fall in love
When he doesn't think you're good enough
You're not the only one he's thinking of
You're not the only one he's thinking of
Yeah

Dumb Feelings
02:03
|
|||
|
She doesn't want to make up her mind
She said she's just gonna take some time
She makes me wonder if she's playing games
She makes me feel like I could be happy
I guess I'm dumb
Cos I got hooked on a feeling
I could be wrong
But I'm still hooked on this feeling
She said she's alright but she's damaged
She's probably more than I can manage
She's still been good to me so she matters
She still might say that I can't have her
I guess I'm dumb

Candle In The Wind
01:25
|
|||
|
Smokin' like a freight train
Think I'm going insane
Guess it doesn't matter
What goes on inside my brain
Thinking at a constant speed
Still I don't know what I need
I consulted Google
I saw an ad and smoked some weed
Little girls with riot shields
Over valleys, under hills
Killed some broken people
And now they're buried in the fields
Flames a blowin' like a candle in the wind
I don't know but it seems like we're at the bends
If you think you're happy, you're really not my friend
Life's a living hell and heaven till the end

Till The End
02:13
|
|||
|
Some say I got missing pieces
Some say I am just a shut-in
Some used to say I was a lost cause
And I just play my song again
I don't care about all this bullshit
I could really use a friend
But right now while I'm still lonesome
I'll play my music till the end
Some say life is just a game
Rigged to where you just can't play
But I could play a song for you now
And you'll feel different about today
We don't need all this bullshit
We could really use a friend
But right now while we're still lonesome
We'll play our music till the end
We'll play our music till the end
We'll play our music till the end
