Shard To Shatter

Let go
Seems you're running low
On things to hold to
Unfold
Seems the reasons left untold
Are old too
Not one more inch of my skin
Not one more piece of dream
Not one more shard to shatter
Get your grip off me
Finally
Go on
Sedentary life will
Never make you strong
How long
Will we wait for them
To learn right from wrong?
Not one more inch of my skin
Not one more piece of dream
Not one more shard to shatter
Get your grip off me
What's it gonna take?

Even Sleep Is Exhausting

Invaders raging around my fortress
I don't notice, I don't notice
Breaking in just to steal my focus
I don't notice, I don't know this
Testament of trope for the way things are
Experiment of expectation, a strong false start
Lately we're all in the park after dark
Hanging on the last remark
Enemies rest on the brink of warfare
I'm unaware, I'm unaware
Hanging back just to see me go bare
I'm unaware, I'm unaware
Of the neverending mile that lies ahead
A catastrophic rendition, a lifelong defense
And we haven't just built it up in our heads
It can't all just lie within

Landmine
04:21

Leaders of small palaces
Gather to scour the planet
For things to dispose
And those who are left over
Panhandle and pillage
For what's not too burnt
From the blow
Oh, what a landmine
Is keeping us all from the finish
Oh, what a fixed race
Run just to find the beginning
What if it's just a scrimmage?
Small minded dictators
Have shut down the playing field
Claiming it all for their own
Now our land's infertile
They've scattered the earth with seed
Planting wherever it grows
Oh, what a landmine
Has shattered the image we're given
Oh, what a cruel game
We seem to hold to religion
What if it's just a scrimmage?
Oh, what a landmine
Is keeping us all from the finish
Oh, what a cruel game
We seem to hold to religion
Oh, it's all just a scrimmage
