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

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.
