Just This Once (demo)

Just this once
we get what we want
this is where our nirvana begins
(this is how we win)
Writing dreams into reality
it's what we do every day
don't give up your power
don't be made a slave to them...
The one's who had power over us
they are babies again
we get to do it better this time
we get to make the world this time
All I ever wanted was my freedom
from this fallen kingdom
and all you motherfuckers
are just building it up
but we are rising even higher
ignoring all the liars
who are making these
cages for our minds.

---riiise from your graaave--
Another slowly burning cigarette
another scar burned to my lungs
I can't remember my mothers name
and I won't remember this disease
I hope I was a good man
I want to die like Matthew Cuthbert
falling in the tall grass of the field
and as my true love comforts me
heaven is revealed
It's what Katie told me in a fever dream
but I lost it when I tried to speak.

You can sing about beauty
you can sing about truth
but they'll take it away from you baby
it's time for softer things
Throw your love down the well for me honey
put your wealth where it's hidden from time
spend it again when your soul's on the line
you can sing about hatred
you can sing about violence
you can sing about alienation
you can sign about driving division
and they'll make you a star
you can sing about mandates
you can sing about lockdowns
you can sing about segregation
you can sing about death to the nation
and they'll put you on top

Don't tell mom but the drummer's moving in
and he's going to make noise all day
Don't let dad tell you that you're music's bad
and you never should have learned how to play
Sweet licks
hot chicks
happy with an averaged size dick
dinner at Fapplebees(r) is OK
What does the fox say
Et tu, Brute.
Don't tell mom, don't tell dad
that your life has gone this bad
Don't tell your mommy
Don't tell your daddy
that you're a whore
in the streets of Cincinnati

American Roulette (demo)
02:04
|
|||
|
I've got the government mandated blues
the government mandated blues
I'm feeling what I'm supposed to be feeling
and everything they are telling me is just totally true
I'm Joseph Stalin for more time
don't hate me for my thought crimes
George Orwell is rolling in his grave
there's no one left for Christ to save
I've got the manufactured narrative blues
the manufactured narrative blues
I'm hearing what I'm supposed to be hearing
and as long as I do there is nothing to fear
Let's play American Roulette
You owe a never ending debt
to a future that you flushed away
you hope you die before you pay
(and you will)

Take It (demo)
02:08
|
|||
|
You better take it
if you want to get by
or you better fake it
if you want to survive
There's a faceless man
asking for my hand
yeah, you better take it
I'm taking the mark of the beast
I'm waiting in line
There's a machine I've got to
rage against baby, TM
Yet I'm feeding it my oily hide.
- I can't decide -
You're holding me down
and you're taking my name
you're lifting me up, baby
to stare into the flames
You better take it
if you don't want to die
or you better fake it
when you look me in my googley-eyes
It's a heartless scam
direct from the mother fucking man
so you better take it
I will fly in mass formation
I will die for you
I will lie, misinformation
I will die for you

Old Notes (demo)

You got them old notes a boppin
old notes a boppin
you can always be making it worse
You got them old notes a boppin
old notes a boppin
You'll be living under that curse.
oh, you could be making it worse
you can always be making it worse
where we're going we don't belong
but that's not stopping us now
when we know we've gone a bridge too far
we'll turn around and we're torching it to the ground
old notes a boppin
old notes a boppin
old notes a boppin
oh, you should be tearing it down
old notes a boppin
old notes a boppin
why are you building it up so high?
why did you? why did you say that i....
I will be believing them
when them old notes
stop ringing in my ears
I could play these old note
day in, day out until
the walls of hell come caving in
here they come now.
watch them falling down
here they come now
old notes a boppin
old notes a boppin
old notes a boppin
now that you've fallen in love in me
I've got that magic that can set you free
once I've fallen in love with you
we will be signing a brand new tune.

HahaWHOwha? (demo)
02:25
|
|||
|
I've seen angel and demons
playing together in fields of gold
I've seen what it means to be a child
who laughs at it all
I've heard serpents they're signing
hap'lee reliving them battles of old
I've heard mom and dad crying
as they're realizing the seeds they've sewn
I know what it takes to carry these bones another God damned year
I know how easy it can be to patch up a beautiful tapestry
I can still wear these robes even when they are tattered and old.

Oh yes, you will dance.
Oh yes, you will dance so beautifully.
On. My. Grave.
Oh yes, we will kill again.
Oh yes, we will enslave again
This is how we've taught our children to hate
Oh yes, you will dance.
like you did on your wedding day
but you will dance
on. my. grave.
