Verse 1: I hear a million pounding feet The restless voice of the mute A band playing against the beat The only way to refute There's so much distance between us We speak in alien tongues How can we ever gain our trust? We empty our lungs Bridge: Can we stop this senseless fight? Can we talk and make it right? Chorus: So tell me if you will Fight the wind? Try to win? And scramble all the words that you hear. Can you talk? Talk to me. Can we find us? Verse 2: I'm scared of this growing distance And between walls we all hate Meeting ideas with resistance And crushed under our own weight Could we make sense through the static? If everyone wants what's best Stop trying to be a fanatic We all are blessed Bridge: Can we stop this senseless fight? Can we talk and make it right? Can we find us? Rap: Lack of communication The death of a nation History's lessons Of our dead sons Reckless Acting offensive Fighting consensus Kill the defenseless It's sensless Lack of communication The death of a nation History's lessons Of our dead sons Reckless Acting offensive Fighting consensus Kill the defense Chorus: Tell me if you will Fight the wind? Try to win? And scramble all the words that you hear. Can you talk? Talk to me. Just open your eyes Can you see? There's a light In your sight If you leave your arms and you hear Can you talk? Talk to me.

Intro: I only care about myself It's just buzzing pointless words to itself Dear nature, stones will cast I'd burn it just so I can have it last I, the swollen jester Plagued with perfection I fester Stumbling out of the throne room with a crown All bow down Frown and I will make you smile Ha ha ha, laugh, it's just my style I will bear the burden of your riches Eyes out of reaches Angry Monologue: You vitriolic self-obsessed imbecil Blindfolded strutter, overfed on your reflection The depths of your ignorance have reached a new pinnacle Sometimes I wonder who is living the bigger deception What kind of leader leads his people against themselves? Bridge: This clog in the artery We might need a surgery After breakdown: It all leads To the same point And it feeds Inside the joint I find no way Final: Living tumors make a home Ashes and chrome Awaiting the embittered birth Cancer of the earth

Verse 1: Sleep sulking And leave it all to a king But as the clouds fly over We forget to be sober Ancient tower Knowledge under a cover Walls of binding Where language has been hiding Bridge: Carry me away To the fruit of a new day And as we paint the world in grey We're sleeping as we play Leave it all behind For the unfortunate to find As sons and fathers stand beside Unable to reply Chorus: Break the glass And let it flow Standing alive at the top of it Just take up one more chance And let it grow Pieces you know will start to fit Verse 2: Sleep sulking While throwing knives at our king But as his reign is over The mantle fell off the poser The voice inside Is bitter like cyanide Left a warm thought Under the pain I wrought Bridge: Carry me away To the fruit of a new day And as we paint the world in grey We're sleeping as we play Leave it all behind For the unfortunate to find As sons and fathers stand beside Unable to reply Chorus: Break the glass And let it flow Standing alive at the top of it Just take up one more chance And let it grow Pieces you know will start to fit Break the glass And let it flow Standing alive at the top of it Just take up one more chance And we can communicate

Verse 1 (scream): Hungry rats Can you heed your call? You will save your thrall Once you pile upon your dead These are your habitats Where you fight and crawl We're gonna save you all Your freedom exchanged to be fed I do what I can to make sure you're protected Everyone's a rampant thief, you deserve to be avenged It's a dog eat dog world there and you'll never be that strong Not even the earth scorched in fire Will convince me that I'm wrong Chorus: Can you see? What I see As the devil shakes our hand to set us free. Can you bare? Be aware You're the only one who's freedom you will tear War! Verse 2 (chant): Tumbling down to the end of our days Wasting time pulling teeth from the vain God is dying in the midst of the haze Drinking blood as a killer for the pain Verse 2 (rap): I drown my soul in the darkness Buy back my cowl thorugh the starkness Peeling back layers of sickness Stealing back art for forgiveness I hear the screams all around me Bury our heads in the marquee Cover my eyes I'm Messiah Now when I kill I can't see ya Chorus: Can you see? What I see As the devil shakes our hand to set us free. Can you bare? Be aware You're the only one who's freedom you will tear Will you dare? Breathe the air Will you fight Through the night? Outro (transition into next song): Package shipped right on your doorstep tonight Cause I'm all for you Yes I'm all for you Baby, you know I'm just gonna do what's right And it's all for you Yes you know it's true.

Verse 1: The ending lies In color blinded bullets shot Take us in the ash The morning high Brought by matching souls with thought Night comes with a flash Chorus: Love You carry me though hollows You open doorways Through tragedy tonight Rise above This hateful fear that follows We fit in any case Our stories all align Verse 2: The wisdom lies Beyond the differnt signs we hold We rise from the dust The sun is nigh If we may dare to be so bold To embrace our trust Chorus: Love You carry me though hollows You open doorways Through tragedy tonight Rise above This hateful fear that follows We fit in any case Our stories all align Outro: He's such a loser Joker staring down right into hell He loves his abuser Cannot pity dogs in an open cell The walls are caving in This desperate man was sullied by his fate He's not worth saving Cozy fucker taking home the bait Well I've got news for you, my friend But it's gonna take a while That mud you wear might seem to be the trend But it's going out of style As long as it's true No shame in not wearing any face No hell awaits you Go ahead and plague all of our space We grew complacent Shackled bodies fuck in apathy That fool was pacing Empty chested man of gallantry You are scum X2 Well I've got news for you, my friend But it's gonna take a while That mud you wear might seem to be the trend But it's going out of style

Verse: Sing it Livin' the high life, Tell me, ain't it nice? When the people cheer and bow down at your feet Dreamin' Been an uphill fight But they'll put you on ice If you dare to leave your seat Bridge: And it's only you Who looks through wide-eyed open lovers But you're the only fool Verse 2: Say it But you can't hear us talking Over your own voice You unhappy miserable lunatic Smilin' But we can tell you faking It was all your choice But you are hating, pulling tricks Bridge: And it's only you Who looks through wide-eyed open lovers But you're the only fool Hey! Breakdown: I only care about myself It's just buzzing pointless words to itself Dear nature, stones will cast I'd burn it just so I can have it last You boast and yell like you're the story, but you're barely just a chapter

Intro Lay Wait in vain Stay Leave your bane Come Let's leave this place Thumb On your trace Lover rest your head Cover up your dead Lover rest your head When you can never get out of bed Lay Storms will come Stay We go numb Help Is far away Dwell My heart of clay Lover rest your head Cover up your dead Lover rest your head When you can never get out of bed Moment to moment Living in torment Bridge1: Once Twice It's easier to let go Once Twice Sadness is all you know Verse: You brought this upon yourself Dust away your fragile legs It's just clutter on a shelf Life hanging by a thread You have everything you want Lonely confidant Bridge2: No place to turn to Nothing can get through No consequence Nothing makes sense You're staying right here You place your bets now Under a raised brow Comforting sadness Solemn and hapless Ruled by your own fear Bridge 1: Once Twice It's easier to let go Verse 2: Everyday a wasted breath Every stare as black as death No light can shine on your heart So torn apart You're responsible for every deed What more do you need? Chorus: He's such a loser Joker staring down right into hell Cannot pity dogs in an open cell End: Weighed down You see Monsters Shadows

Verse 1: Pressure building in my knees A full audience to please I can feel you feeding Insatiably It's as far as I can see The wind blowing through leafless trees Waiting for an encore Patiently Chorus: Bow when I can be your king Smile when you have everything Cry while holding your sweet nothing Steal all things that are worth loving Verse 2: What you need? I can make it all the way for you I leave my crown right at the door And so much more Through my deeds I will jest inside and rule in view I'll wear the mantle on your shoulders Now you can finally hate me Chorus: Bow when I can be your king Smile when you have everything Cry while holding your sweet nothing Steal all things that are worth loving Bridge: Its eyes are glowing so lovingly But we all punish the absentee Neck tied to a broken tree What is missing's all we can see Its eyes are glowing so lovingly But we all punish the absentee It's squirming 'round so pathetically Let's put it out of its misery

about

A musical effort from the minds of The Bipolar Disorder Project and Karmic Thread. To be taken with a pinch of salt. A story about kings, jesters, and the bureaucracy in-between. An emotional whirlwind of sins and virtues - the uncomfortable reality of what makes us human.
