Color-Sucking Gun
03:52
|
|||
|
Take my yellow sucking gun
Drain the color from the sun.
Use the the white that's left inside
To fuel the red that used to hide.
Green the grass with the bugs
And give the blue men tiny hugs.
Blackened ash laid in tan vases
As clear tears stain paler faces.
Light and noise make colors waving in the sky
Notes and rhythms swirl up high
Eyes are turning skyward seeing beauty
Know the way we used to be
Orange flowers trampled down
Purple shoes with laces brown.
Beauty colored random dies
Man made beauty to the eyes.
Poison red to earth stained blue
There go all the pretty hues.
Goodbye nature hello black
But we still want the color back.
Dirty hands come reaching up from iron holes
As we bow to master coal
Darkness billows from the ugly smoked-stacked house
Sucking life from the child's mouth
The color dies
The color dies

Jesus people!
Hey you, let's talk
Come here, we'll walk
Hey now, won't mock
I can tell by the way you talk
That you are
JESUS PEOPLE
You say, He's true
His love, true blue
No way, to lose
So what has He done for you
What are you?
JESUS PEOPLE
You are the one that I know
God's shown what he needs to show
Get out
Don't go, tell how
No way, oh wow
So tell me what do I do now
So we are
JESUS PEOPLE
'Cause I love the way you are
Show me how to raise the bar
JESUS PEOPLE

Denial
02:45
|

|
Tell me, are we going places?
Seeing some familiar faces?
Loading a precision strike, today?
Need an excuse to aim and fire away?
Don't you worry, don't you fret
For the coldness has been set
You'll hardly need to lift a finger
Just wait until they stand and linger for
They will see
a side of me
They never knew
had stayed and grew
Have you listened, have you heard?
These things he says are most absurd!
Empathy means nothing to me
He thinks that he can see right through me
Well he's wrong!
We're in control!
We've been all through his mind and soul
So if he thinks
that he can change
Well then we'll have to re-arrange
Morality
Will never be
A founding base
From which to trace!
Will you be
denying me?
Now that you've seen
my apathy?

Morals
05:13

I see you sitting on the dock,
looking out to sea
But I'm the one with the boat,
so come along with me
You love the life you're living in,
but now you're on the way
To Satan's fiery pit of hell,
the sentence there to stay
Throw away your morals
throw them to the ocean
Come along with me
Come and sail away
Hell can wait another day
We're drowning in the boat
And the Devil has eternity
to melt away
We'll travel across this sea of night,
across the ocean blue
And ride the waters to the light
that lead me back to you
Soaring on these water clear,
crashes in the sand
With the path that's set before us,
I know just where we'll land
(Psalm 106: 39-46)
They worshipped their idols
Which became a snare to them
They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons
They shed innocent blood
The blood of their sons and daughters
Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Caanan
And the land was desecrated by their blood
They defiled themselves by what they did
By their deeds they prostituted themselves
Therefore the Lord was angry with his people
And abhorred his inheritance
He handed them over to the nations
To those who ruled over them
Their enemies oppressed them and subjected them to their power
Many times he delivered them, but they were bent on rebellion
And they wasted away in their sin
(Psalms 106: 48)
It caused them to pitied by all those who held them captive

Victory Star
03:40
|
|||
|
Take a ride, cross the way
What to see, here today
Just another, little bit
Wait there's something, different about
The victory star
He'll really go far
He'll pull through it all
The victory star
And do you see what you do to me?
I need you for all
You know who you are
The victory star
Feel the power, and the fire
To be noble, he desires
Can't believe it, what he does
He's a winner, and because he's
The victory star
He'll really go far
He'll pull through it all
The victory star
The victory star
It's nothing bizarre
He'll leave you in awe
The victory star
And do you see what you do to me?
I need you for all
You know who you are
The victory star

Britannia
04:26
|
|||
|
When we've got a problem we know what to do
We find someone and blame them through and through
But oh, did they consider the re-election
Because by now I'm sure they're looking in our direction because
Blame's the game
All the same
I'm sure they know everyone of us by name
But it kind of makes me sick
So now you take your pick
And now we've got nobody to frame
Because
Britannia
It's not their fault now
So now we pull a one-eighty we look back
To the scarred, battered, broken and messed up track
At all the fingers that we pointed and the blaming we've done
We give it all to them and then we run
Because
Blame's the game
All the same
I'm sure they know everyone of us by name
But I know just what to do and we will make it through
And now we've got nobody to frame
Because
Britannia
It's not their fault now
And it never was in the first place
Britannia
We did the framing
Britannia
You can do the blaming

Oh, Nick
What are we gonna do without you
Oh, Nick
Why'd they have to go and doubt you?
Nick go get your laptop back
Why can't they cut you any slack
Your movies make the world go 'round
But now you cannot make a sound
You gotta go take back what's yours
'Cause now they've shut too many doors
I hope that you're not gone for long
'Cause you can't have SeannAveryVlogs!
Oh, Nick
We'll try and keep this old flame burning
Oh, Nick
They know you're capable of learning
Nick go get your laptop back
Why can't they cut you any slack
Your movies make the world go 'round
But now you cannot make a sound
You gotta go take back what's yours
'Cause now they've shut too many doors
I hope that you're not gone for long
'Cause you can't have SeannAveryVlogs!

I.Q.
02:45
|
|||
|
Intelligence, it makes no sense
at least that's what I've gathered from the many claims of everyone because
I'm not profound, my mind isn't sound
I know myself the best and I can see right through myself because
I'm clueless, I know
I'm fast, I'm slow
I never knew that your I.Q.
Would help you need to know
I'm there, I'm here
I'm brave, I fear
I never knew that your I.Q.
Would help you need to hear this
Image they see, it isn't me
They see someone who knows it all and has for centuries but listen,
It's not enough, this year was rough
But they don't care because I look it and sometimes I make good grades
I can't seem to find
The way to my mind
When they come around
They're staring me down

Days of Old
05:23
|
|||
|
Back in the days of old, I always thought about it
Castles all filled with gold, I used to dream about it
Eyeing their swords and shields
Haggling for a meal
They used to kill and steal
It makes me feel so real
These are all ages past, how did we run so fast
All of our work is done, look at what we've become
What were they seeking out, what did they think about
I hear the stories told, calling the days of old
Back in the days of old, the legends were still alive
Staggering in the cold, how did anyone survive
Watching the sun go down
Foritifying the town
Honor the royal crown
Where have they all gone now
These are all ages past, how did we run so fast
All of our work is done, look at what we've become
What were they seeking out, what did they think about
I hear the stories told, calling the days of old
All of the progress made, all of the dues they paid
All of the fighting done, all of the battles won
Everything's been replaced, lost to the killing pace
We have all been so bold, but some day we'll grow old

Alsbury Hill
05:23
|

|
We were halfway down to Alsbury Hill when the synapses began to fire
Under these false pretenses I could take it higher
My thoughts were vicious so but possible to bear
But then the world was just one more nightmare
The streetlines blurred beneath me when I knew the pieces fell
Who needed enemies when you had mental hell
Just think of all the different ways that you can die today
Might as well stay home and pray
Ease your troubled mind
Come in here to find
Why should I leave now, when everyone's so kind
Wash the world away
Stay with us today
We built these walls so you can keep the world at bay
I was halfway down to madness when the sirens began to sound
Too much was left undone to throw it away now
I know it won't be easy, but if you notice soon
There might still be hope for you
I know you've seen the numbers and I know you've seen the flaws
Sometimes you can feel obsessions giving pause
Some nights when you're alone and cold and dying in the dark
We both know that we can see that spark
Ease your troubled mind
Come in here to find
Why should I leave now, when everyone's so kind
They don't understand
They just reprimand
But we're always doing everything we can
Ease your troubled mind
Come in here to find
Why should I leave now, when everyone's so kind
Wash the world away
Stay with us today
We built these walls so you can keep the world at bay
I'm still on that dividing line, still up there on the hill
It's hard to make these strides when you don't have the will
I know that I'm still hiding here and I will never learn
But when I look inside that fire still burns
