Monsters

They're our leaders,
Promise-keepers, An Eton Mess to feed us,
Their only motives are the common needs,
True deceivers,
Distracted by the pantomime, Villains they decide,
This frog will boil alive, if we don't stop the slide,
We keep letting the monsters in and,
They keep telling us who to fear,
We keep letting the bad guys win and,
Buying what they let us hear,
We only see these,
Superficies of an iceberg made of faeces,
Duplicitous and egotistical,
A dangerous species
Hiding in storms that they create, sheltered by the rain,
Abusing us again and again, till we can't feel the pain,
We keep letting the monsters in and,
They keep telling us who to fear,
We keep letting the bad guys win and,
Hearing what they let us hear,
Fed lies by the guys that own the game,
Portrayed by their pals as not to blame,
We keep letting the monsters in and,
They keep telling us who to fear,
We keep letting the bad guys win and,
Buying what they let us hear,
Accusing the ones without a voice,
Excusing the few that have the choice,
We keep letting the monsters in,
And we keep letting the bad guys win,
We keep letting the monsters win

Enemy Ally

You used to be honest, but now you pretend,
You said you don't want this again and again,
You reject the concept,
But it's true,
You're facing a conflict, you have to defend,
You're stuck in a moment, that may never end,
You think I don't know you,
But I do,
If you let me in then maybe you can let you win,
You're being kind and cruel, I'm in the vestibule,
You've got my foot in the door,
We're prisoners to this war of accord,
You tell me to go, I already know,
The question is, though,
How can I?
If you're left alone, you fight on your own,
The enemy is your ally,
You try to hide the rising tide,
Conceal the rage that builds inside,
But I couldn't have a better view
Your pure indignation is right and it's wrong,
Your exasperation is leading you on,
You think I don't know you,
But I do
If you let me in then maybe you can let you win,
You're being kind and cruel, I'm in the vestibule,
You've got my foot in the door,
We're prisoners to this war of accord,
You tell me to go, I already know,
The question is, though,
How can I?
If you're left alone, you fight on your own,
The enemy is your ally,
You're all out of hope,
You don't let it show,
But it's harder to give up than try,
If you're left alone, you fight on your own,
The enemy is your ally,
And through all the awkward pauses,
I'm wondering why,
For all the distress it causes,
There's a glimmer of light,
You tell me to go, I already know,
The question is, though,
How can I?
If you're left alone, you fight on your own,
The enemy is your ally,
You're all out of hope,
You don't let it show,
But it's harder to give up than try,
If you're left alone, you fight on your own,
The enemy is your ally,

This direction is gonna kill us all,
There's disconnection between the cause and cure,
It's pure deception, from those who just want more,
So mass subjection, keeps us in line,
Never stop to think about,
More than half of the fraction,
Focus on the here and now,
As a form of distraction,
Only see what you're allowed,
Through the corporate redaction,
Profit is the cause of inaction,
We're cutting deeper now,
Misconception, or purposely ignored,
Now this infection, runs through the very core,
The mere suggestion of change is overboard,
So never question; it'll all be fine,
Never stop to think about,
More than half of the fraction,
Focus on the here and now,
As a form of distraction,
Only see what you're allowed,
Through the corporate redaction,
Profit is the cause of inaction,
We're cutting deeper now,
Never stop to think about,
More than half of the fraction,
Focus on the here and now,
As a form of distraction,
Only see what you're allowed,
Through the corporate redaction,
Profit is the cause of inaction,
We're cutting deeper now,

Time Will Tell

Crossing the streams was all that we had,
I guess that means that this was a fad,
Sometimes there’s joy in not being sad,
Ugly and good that come with the bad,
You help me drink the pain away,
I’ll help you change your ways,
You give me everything I need,
I’ll give you what you crave,
I’ll be the one that got away,
Time will tell and time will say,
I’ll be the one that got away,
Time will tell and time will say,
I can’t decide if we could be friends,
Pierce through the rigmarole of pretence,
Allied in need but not in intents,
When you confide in me it makes sense,
We lived a life through perfect past tense,
Now I can see the need for amends,
In me you’ll find a lot that depends,
On the core belief that this ends,
You help me drink the pain away,
I’ll help you change your ways,
You give me everything I need,
I’ll give you what you crave,
I’ll be the one that got away,
Time will tell and time will say,
I’ll be the one that got away,
Time will tell and time will say,
Seek and you will find,
I’m everything you never needed,
I’ll be the one that got away,
Time will tell and time will say,
You help me drink the pain away,
I’ll help you change your ways,
You’ve got me feeling like another,
You give me everything I need,
I’ll give you what you crave,
I can force you to recover,
You help me drink the pain away,
I’ll help you change your ways,
There’s nothing I will not discover,
You give me everything I need,
I’ll give you what you crave,
I’ll be the one that got away,
Time will tell and time will say,
I’ll be the one that got away,
Time will tell and time will say,
Seek and you will find,
I’m everything you've never needed,
I’ll be the one that got away,
Time will tell and time will say,
