THAT / LIGHT
01:01
|
|||
|
Hell is what happens when we forget
THAT
We don't know why we're here
THAT
We don't know when it's gonna end
THAT
We don't know when it begins
So please remember
THAT
We're here to teach each other how to love
THAT
We're only here for the day
THAT
You know
Hell is what happens when we forget
THAT
There's so many of us out here
In darkness
Breathing light
Light
It's everyone who's ever been and will ever be
You don't have to breathe what they tell you to breathe

Mountains rising to the sun
Tow'ring o'er the plains
Heads held high we stand as one
And proudly we proclaim
We are Columbine
We all are Columbine
Let the world be told
Blue and silver we uphold
Forever

ASSEMBLY
03:04
|
|

|
We teach to a test with no use in the human world
Raising an army of robots without thought of their own
A blind generation of tools and cowards
Leading themselves off a fucking cliff
Wanna be a winner? Here's the rules to the game:
Accept our story, fall in line, and behave
At a desk all day in a plastic chair
Give up your will to live and beg to serve
It's a playbook of killjoy bullshit
Uniforms and censorship, gaslighting dissidents
Walk proud down the assembly line
Just don't call it what it is
A fucking mess
You can't express your own rage
The words we make you speak keep you caged
Behind those bars there's only room for one
You don't even have each other
We dull the mind and mute the heart
You don't know yourself so we'll tell you who you are
Forget shop, home ec and marching band
All you need's a gun in your hand
It's a playbook of killjoy bullshit
Uniforms and censorship, gaslighting dissidents
Walk proud down the assembly line
Just don't call it what it is
A fucking mess

END / DO IT
01:58

Mark my face
It's not gonna last
Same game, different name
Catatonia
End
There comes a time
For every puppet
To make their own dance
To walk their own path
Catatonia
End
You say you give a fuck
I see no action
Can't hang it all on luck
There's no satisfaction
Don't say shit
Do it
You've got your diatribe
Locked and cocked
But never arrive
At an early conclusion
Don't say shit
Do it
This world is yours to change
Your adventures you create
Take control, rearrange
Don't say shit
Do it
Make it real

CALL DEATH
03:41
|
|
||
|
The aim of the game
Is to achieve peace and lasting happiness
Play it well and each day is easier than the one before
Play it poorly and you become yourself a black hole
A gate to hell
Recognize your impermanence
Call Death
Before Death calls you
Christ forgives you
Forgive yourself
Don't waste this time
It's almost up
Call Death
Before Death calls you
Embrace your fear
Like a mother
It will embrace you
In return
Call Death
Before Death calls you
All are born in it
All die in it
Few live in truth
Call Death
Call Death

FIGURE IT OUT
06:03
|
|
||
|
Nobody knows what they're doing
Follow your heart and fuck the rest
If you think too much you're gonna wake up in shit
Figure it out
Nobody likes being told what to do
So shut your mouth and be yourself
You might keep a friend or two
Figure it out
Are you listening?
Understand this
Walk the Earth like it belongs to all of us
It's a simple game with simple rules
You don't hurt me and I won't hurt you
Figure it out

CHAOS BREEDS ______
01:20
|
|
||
|
Hatred by any other name is the same
No one has to teach you this
Everything you need is in your mind
Purge what was force fed and make space for truth
Beware those who seek control
They fear death so much they never live
In truth
Chaos breeds
Won't be long the kind will rule it all
Churches of hatred and judgement
Are doomed to fall
Break free from the role you're assigned
Let us each become someone worth following
And we'll arrive together
In truth
Chaos breeds ______

MAYBE YOU COULD
02:00

Maybe you could teach a kid
How to throw a punch
So when they're hungry they can fuck someone up
And steal their lunch
Maybe you could teach a kid
How to make a friend
Then they wouldn't have to throw a punch
In the first place
Maybe you could teach a kid
How to build a wall
And pretend their neighbors don't exist
Once and for all
Maybe you could teach a kid
How to make a friend
Then they wouldn't need to build a wall
In the first place
Oh yeah
Maybe you could
Maybe you could teach a kid
How to build a bomb
And blow up all the people
They thought were thinking wrong
Maybe you could teach a kid
How to make a friend
Then they wouldn't need to build a bomb
In the first place
Oh yeah
Maybe you could

BRING BACK THE HEART
03:35

Sorry
Didn't mean to shit on your fuckin' parade
I guess a sonofabitch like me
Shouldn't play with a hand grenade
Did you feel the explosion?
It's what we've all been praying for
Please believe we can still make good
They'll foam at the mouth
You'll see their eyes bleed
When they think you're trying to take
All the things that they think they need
But if you're loud enough
All that thinking stops
And they can finally hear their heart again
That's why we do this shit
Don't worry
You know it's never too late to change the game
Dream up a way out your nightmare and reset the stage
Did you feel the explosion?
It's what we've all been dying for
Please believe we can still make good
They'll foam at the mouth
You'll see their eyes bleed
When they think you're trying to take
All the things that they think they need
But if you're loud enough
All that thinking stops
And they can finally hear their heart again
