New Terms

Every thought and the words that weaken
Steals a part of what we’re seeking
Scrolled the headlines today
Caught up in all the fray
The myth built to deflect
The truth we’re meant to accept
You spent your time
Holding down the ones that shine
But you still decline
These new terms line by line
You spent your time
Holding down the ones that shine
But you still decline
New terms are what we’re setting
New terms you’re not just getting
New terms are what we’re setting
New terms you’re not just getting
New terms are what we’re setting
New terms you’re not just getting
We’ve met you, many times
Thinking you’re taking, the hardline
Bootstraps and land mines
All while you dine
Everything’s just fine
Your hangers-on
Lick the crumbs from your plates
They do your dirty work every time
When it’s time to pay your karma
You’ll try to decline
To save yourself
You’ll make excuses and opine
To save yourself
Instead of die
You’ll try to resign
To save yourself
When it’s time to pay your karma
You’ll try to decline
To save yourself (Chorus)
You’ll make excuses and opine
We’ve set the new terms
You’ll have to comply

Patterns in Vivo

A pattern corrupted
Should be interrupted
You need to set it free
Keep your flame burning
For others to see
Just who you’re meant to be
Just who you’re meant to be
Why do we persist
On the road we don’t want to be
Maybe when you die
You meet yourself
We’ll just have to wait and see
Maybe when you die
You meet yourself
What you find
No guarantee
For now, when you look high
We have only sky
And no guarantee
It’s meant to be
And no guarantee
It’s meant to be
In vivo, we know
In vivo, we go
With nothing, to Impede
You exist at all times
Open to the pages
That parallel and rhyme
And what you find
Is that you?
Exist at all times
And what you find
Is that you?
Exist at all times
Good or evil aren’t what you are
They’re what you do
And what you find
Good or evil aren’t what you are
They’re what you do
And what you find
Good or evil aren’t what you are
They’re what you do
And what you find
Good or evil aren’t what you are
They’re what you do

Personality cults enshrined
Military advances
Sanctions refined
No cultural exchange can repair
A world leader’s dares
Personality cults enshrined
Military advances
Sanctions refined
No cultural exchange can repair
A world leader’s dares
Open the line
Before the bombs drop
Open the line
Before the bombs drop
Before the bombs drop
Personality cults enshrined
Military advances
Sanctions refined
No cultural exchange can repair
A world leader’s dares
Open the line
Before the bombs drop
Before the bombs drop
Before the bombs drop
Open the line
Before the bombs drop
Open the line
Before the bombs drop
