21st Century Dream

They sell razors on the corner,
and for your age, it’s all you can eat
The devils are in the walls
The machines will burn it down
Girls up like plastic dolls,
their makeup like a clown
Your words smell like,
thrift store perfume,
and it’s fogging,
yes, it’s fogging,
it’s fogging up the room
Ghosts in the TV,
you can watch it in 3D,
what happened to the dream?
The 21st century
We’ll remember you,
by the pictures on your phone,
the ones that you took,
when you were all alone
Death can be a fashion statement,
you can die in your parent's basement,
Drugged up and naïve,
a ghost in the machine,
what happened to our dreams?
I am not interested in death,
I am obsessed with living,
dying is not breathing a breath,
and my lungs are so unforgiving
button eyes look at me as if to say,
where are we now?
Ghosts in the TV,
you can watch it in 3D,
what happened to the dream?
The 21st century

Black Days

I thought the man would rise again,
and yeah I guess you did
Now I'm feeling paper,
now I get it,
almost in your shoes,
I hope a lot of us do
We were trying to keep the vision,
trying to keep the chaos
But a tower of people stood in the way,
of much to their hard control,
on what and who and where,
we can think
Caught in your button-eyed gaze,
thought you were always,
end of the low phase,
how do you get out of the black days?
They're left alone,
no guides,
nothing to look at,
and reply
Throwing things at the dark,
not sure what way to switch,
poor little kitsch
Can you kill the mockingbirds,
when they're bigger than you,
when they pick at you,
so much higher than you
Caught in your button-eyed gaze,
thought you were always,
end of the low phase,
how do you get out of the black days?
Staring at me,
Staring at me,
Staring at me,
Staring at me

War?
03:37

Can’t tell if the clouds are retreating,
or getting closer.
Is this war or just a dream?
Less and less afraid,
less and less by the day,
less and less alive,
less and less I’m afraid
less and less alive
My heroes are dead,
just ghosts on the walls,
not much left,
they will recall
The magic is gone,
was it ever real?
Just in my head,
something I feel
was it ever real?
IS THIS WAR?
IS IT JUST IN MY HEAD?
SOMETHING I FEEL?
WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR?
THE DROP OF A BOMB?
THE THREAT OF WAR?
Are we slowly sinking to the ashes we were born of?
can’t get away from
are we dying? are we slowly dying?
Could we be something more?
If the sun dies will it matter anymore?
Could we make it something more?
Can we change?
I WANNA LIVE IN A FUTURE WHERE I CAN BREATH
I WANNA LIVE IN FUTURE
I CAN SEE WITH A POLAROID
OF YOUR FACE
SO I WON'T FORGET THE DAY WE DESTROYED THE WORLD
WITH ASHES TO THEIR MEMORY
IS THIS WAR?
IS THIS WAR?
IS THIS WAR?
IS THIS WAR?
