Alone Together Alone

Lie beside me in the dark
Feel the sense of isolation
Silent blows have left their marks
Purple hearts of disaffection
Happy home and open arms
Turned into a gilded prison
Damn the comfort of your charms
For holding back the change of season
And we should know
The emptiness will grow
We played our cards with open eyes
But came up just a little short and late
And in this sorry state we stay alone together, alone
Standing up while falling down
Bruised and battered love is dying
Twist my smile into a frown
Share the anguish I’ve been hiding
Bleary eyed insomniac
Gets to do a lot of thinking
Drive the knife into your back
I guess you didn’t see it coming
And we should know
The emptiness will grow
We played our cards with open eyes
But came up just a little short and late
And in this sorry state we walk alone together, alone
A lonely life is better lived alone
Without the ghost of “might have been”
Hanging on to what is gone
Will never let the healing begin
No no no no
And we don't know
Who'll be the first to go
We played our cards with open eyes
But came up just a little short and late
And in this sorry state we die alone together, alone

Blood and Diamonds
09:00

I wake up startled, vision hazy
the last thing i remember were the lights
my arms are spattered, blood and diamonds
i turn my head and see her form crumpled on my right
Crush of metal, tires screeching
The scent of fuel reminds me I'm alive
Out of silence, scream the sirens
Comprehension setting in as uniforms arrive
And it all comes rushing back without a sound
And it all comes rushing back without a sound
I call out softly, muted whisper
She might as well be miles away from me
Is she moving? Is she breathing?
Is this the way that nightmare becomes reality?
And it all comes rushing back without a sound
And it all comes rushing back without a sound
Through the windshield, i see faces
A private moment coming to an end
Their lips are moving, i hardly hear them
I try to say we’re not okay as i fade out again
And it all comes rushing back without a sound
And it all comes rushing back without a sound
And it all comes rushing back without a sound
And it all comes rushing back without a sound

Love Undone
04:33

Pressure is fading
(I speak but you don't seem to hear)
Trying to breath
(Your eyes are distant stained with tears)
I stand helpless
(Shifting sands through trembling hands)
As the walls fall around me
(The more I need you the more you fade away)
Structure is slipping
(Desperation claws at me)
Sent thru the cracks
(Laughs at my despondency)
Aftermath of wreckage and uncertainty
(Hope is gone, Love undone)
(Paralyzed with fear of certainty)
Uncertainty
The pressure is fading
(I shout but you don't seem to hear)
I’m trying to breathe
(Your eyes are distant stained with tears)
I stand helpless as the walls fall, crumbling
(Shifting sands through trembling hands)
Can’t do a thing
(Mind astray, in disarray)
(Hope is gone, Love undone)
(The only truth I know has gone away)

Channel Zero

On the air, tuning into, channel zero
Electronic dopamine, in the marrow
Willing victims synching in,
Swallowing the vacant waves of platitudes that feed on our fears
Talking heads, spewing deceit, for the masses
Echo chambers postulate, a world in ashes
Corporate interests in control
Pimping facts with fantasy a rhapsody seducing our ears
Hear... full of sound and fury
(I’m the idiot box that you turn to)
Feel... the lowest blow
(I’m the kick that you crave as much as breathing)
See... wrinkles in the story
(Showing you just what I want you to see)
Be... someone who knows
(Just surrender and I’ll take care of… everything)
In this life, a sucker is born, every minute
We choose to embrace this shit, let’s wallow in it
Yield our minds and lose our wills
Knuckle under, fall asleep and march like sheep right off the cliff
Truth... silenced in the night
Facts... biased left and right
When we only heed the words that rhyme
We’ll be dumb and blind, trapped in a concept of our own design
Worthless pawns
On the air, tuning into, channel zero
Electronic dopamine, in the marrow
Willing victims synching in, (1)
Swallowing the vacant waves of platitudes that feed on our fears (1)
Talking heads, spewing deceit, for the masses (1) (2)
Echo chambers postulate, a world in ashes (1) (2)
Corporate interests in control (1) (2)
Pimping facts with fantasy a rhapsody seducing our ears (1) (2)
On the air, tuning into, channel zero (1) (2) (3)
On the air, tuning into, channel zero (1) (2) (3)
(1) Keep it this time, keep it in time, keep it in mind, keeping this mind, keep it out of harm
(2) Being right means being hated, truth and freedom overrated
(3) Bleary eyed insomniac, gets to do a lot of thinking
