Tulsa 1921
As flames blot out the sun
Hundreds passed away
and we just found out today
How many mothers lost a son?
Was it a cell phone or a gun?
The body cams switched off
Now we'll never know...
Are we better now?
Did we learn?
Loose cigarettes and jogging shoes
Lying face down and confused
The lives that could have been
Now they’re unheard and unseen
More injustice all the time
Giving water is a crime
And now it seems all wrong
Must we be this strong?
Restlessness and scars
This is who we are
Flesh and star stuff clashing
With the infinite
Are we better now?
Can we learn?
All this time
Asleep in youth
Paralyzed
by the weight of the truth
Better now
You can be better now
You don't have to change the world
Better now
We can be better now
We can learn
Our better angels sometimes fly
When we resist the urge to close our eyes
For love or hate or peace or war
What is your heart even beating for?

The Check Out
04:30
|

We find ourselves in shock
Breathing in bags of gasoline
We lost our way in shops
Financing bliss… ain’t that the shit
And now we’re floating in air…
Living our lives for the check out
Excised emotions for the check out
Amassed our fortunes just to check out
Are we happy now that we've checked out?
We find ourselves in shock
Projecting lies for dopamine
We lost our will to shine
So, our unknowns all remain unknown
And now we’re floating in air…
We model worlds we’d like in shades of grey
And we might build them all… but not today.
Living our lives for the check out
Excised emotions for the check out
Amassed our fortunes just to check out
Let’s be happy now before we check out

Save Your Breath

Wasted tears
Falling down
The floor provides an opposing force
To make the crash more interesting
Fluorescent light
Refracts inside them
The laws allow no choice
But to follow and obey their message
The endless fight
Marching on
As warriors of the virtual world
And prisoners of this simulation
Save your breath
Exhale a new world
Where laws allow no choice
But to live life without emulation

The meaning of life is the problem of what to do next
When privilege keeps you lost in space
The hand of culture puts you in your place
The problem with life is the meaning of what we do next
With so much power to connect
Distractions leave us no time to reflect
Falling back on a real tailspin
Someone call the guru in!
Purchased bliss or a dull routine
But the meaning only happens in between
The meaning of life is the problem of what to do next
When information leaves us drained
Even pursuits of pleasure are a strain
The meaning of life is the problem of what to do next
Religious faith has lost its grace
And new age nonsense no longer embraced
The problem with life is the meaning of what we do next
Somewhere a stranger feels your pain
To look the other way it's inhumane

Beauty in the End
05:00
|
|||
|
There’s something hiding in the dark
That keeps us all in line
Our powers stripped away
And there’s no future now
Is there something that it’s like to be
You and me?
Or are we just floating on a stream?
It’s too late to begin
Maybe we’ll find beauty in the end
We translate everything we see
To pixels on a screen
Our feelings pushed away
No longer human now
Is this something that we chose to be?
Could we have chosen differently?
Are we just dancing in a dream?
It’s too late to begin
Maybe we’ll find beauty in the end
