Set the Pacific on Fire

Living amongst all you Kings shames the name my father gave
I’ll change it so they know who exposed all the colors you hide
Some Kings should die
They suspect a man unfit to start a fire
choose to bide and blow out the flame the heats this fixation
I’ve bellowed my beliefs now watch the bursting blaze
stretch across the states
Brother of mine your words from the west stir my blood
you’ve conquered lands you’ve roamed
There’s no doubt a better home there waiting
for us kings

Taking What's Mine

Six-Shooter Al
Shields his villainy ways out west
He's seeking gold and nothing less
An easy solution it rapaciously sprawls
it's all around, it's all around, it's all around
In the streets
No earthquake compares
it's the strike of the thieves
Though I've held a pick and shovel my hands are not of King Midas
Sustenance keeps
Say farewell to the mines and be set free
Hangman awaits
his noose is not just for the thieves
just have to hold enough greed
Could have lived innocently
With all the dust how does one breathe?
Take what is mine from the mines of the earth
Losing my mind, I don't mind for what it's worth
I've bellowed my beliefs now watch the city burst
It will burst into flames once the gold strikes the home
Six Shooter Al infected with the same disease
It's all around, it's all around, it's all around

Our wild west put to the test
No structure seems to stand on its own
Their balances were left unchecked
And now we're standing up as one to tear it down
Take a stand
Show some spine
Make your mark
Leave your name
Here's your call to arms
We're bringing back the old days
'Cause if we don't, nothing will
Names in numbers will resist
When those with power abuse it, one eight six
The ink will overcome the force
And history won't show remorse, when you are gone, when you are gone.
Then justice hasn't been so just
And we no longer let disgust conquer us
So fight the fight, or face the rope
We're ringing necks when they no longer help the cause
Change the pace
Save this place
Join with us
Leave your name
Stand for something or step aside

Shadow carry's weight
Pulling at the core of spirit
A sing song and dance
Evokes the shadow's past
Bearing a light
Once a beacon to guide
but don't blind my eyes
I shall not be seen at this time
Mother was right
Don't tell her what I've done
Moonless sky to walk
Villains follow suit
Prowling plots to bring
The city to it's knees
Guilty as charged
Just like that day
Nothing has changed
Sunrise reveals
What terrible things
Happen through the night
Shadow you are right
My life's a lie
Stuff the ballots
and don't talk about it
There's noway out
I'm living in
A nostalgic nightmare
Is there anybody there?
Is there anybody there?

Physics of Form
04:06

Splintered
Spineless frail exterior
Reflector
Projects truth
The time is now
Find the inner strength
A warrior
guide your
physical form
to higher ground
No one is safe as we barrel through the clouds
Sustain a stable form it's the way you steer around
Open sky show your might
Break the weak links, wash them out of mind
Estranged
Elusive soul
Take your shape
Bounded by the
Limits of your state
Battered daily by the game
Never keeping solid shape
Splintered spineless real estate
Find your own way to sustain
it's the way you steer around

I am but a fraud
My words out-beat my heart
A tragic portraiture
And though my caper ends
The dirty secret lives
I hope it never dies
Truth does not have to be for sale
Even if it were, no one is buying
Ink stains my hands
Blood stains my shirt
I now inhabit a life i don't deserve
Walk this earth, we are frauds
In the line we stand for a shot in the heart
While fighting to protect the brand
I am the expositor
I am a frantic kind of boring
An end-stage addiction
Wait for the shame

Rose together at the break
The task ahead was nothing new
I stand today just like I've stood
We rose together, though we may not set
My words have no assassin
They will stand this test of time
I stand beside the text
We'll fall together in the end
You rose to the occasion
though you still stand for nothing
you'll never reach the ground

Reflections II
04:25

Sinking towards the inescapable brink
I toss and turn into an endless dream
My wounds are blowing up the streets
As I reflect on what it means to me
The last words I wrote still stand, and remain
Maybe it is for the best that I will decay
I'd rather not witness what the world will become
I'll never fall apart, because of time's wicked game
I'll never fall out of love, I'll never cry on their days
You know what?
I think I'm ready
Take me already please
Fuck this place
The storm is over, pack your bags, I won't wait longer
I wish to die right now
thank you

He failed
Storm the jail
Storm the jail
Storm the jail
Hand his over to us
Citizen’s guard forms a hollow square
Repair
To the cell
Let him know
That we wait
For his neck in a noose
Hanging in the sky is his debt to pay
Each breathe that you take is now on borrowed time
‘cause you’re mine and we won't
Rest until you get what you deserve
And now, we’re alone, we’re alone, we’re alone in our fight
And now there is no end, is no end, is no end in sight
On
We press on
We press on
We press on
He did not die in vain
Pray the same can be claimed in our names
Flames
Burn the same
All the same
All the same
Our beliefs, they still rage
There is no beating this bursting blaze
We’ve been building bridges left and right but here we are, no end in sight
They’ve played these games, games, sordid games with our lives
Loneliest fight
Really hoping you're out there

Exit a Hero
06:16

The insignia of grief all around
as thousands march to the loneliest hill in town
Farewell King
The great, the good one is dead, who will not mourn
It's your restless spirit that's still abroad
Which carries on the fights that you fought
In this war of being heard
Awaken dormant ones to your makeshift lives
Better to die a martyr than a meaningless mime
Be a King
The great, the good ones live on, amongst the unborn
Fallen walkers before
Couldn’t have the physics of form
and will never be able to stand as tall,stand as the
Expositor
Bearer of news and vigilance, speak to us,
You're exiting
But not in vain you taught us all
Farewell
We’re just some little tiny orbs who spin around
in the dirt, in the dirt, brother you’ve dug you’re way through the earth, oh if only we’d learn
Je espère que mes rêves sont doux pour moi
