Gloomy Heirlooms

This is an open letter to future historians
Let your voice be heard, feel free to chime in
Just sign your name on the dotted line
And don't forget to comment, like and subscribe
We’re socialites living in a dark and heavy gloom
Hangin' on by a thread, instead of playing dead
It’s weighing on me, passed down and out like an heirloom
Never zip your lips or listen to another talking head
There’s no redeeming demons, they’re scheming
Distracting you while profiteering, that’s sus
Conjuring violence, demanding compliance, tryin to silence our screaming
Suppress protests, resist progress, you get the gist, they’re disappearing us
We’re socialites living in a dark and heavy gloom
Hangin' on by a thread, instead of playing dead
It’s weighing on me, passed down and out like an heirloom
Never zip your lips or listen to another talking head
In these strange and uncertain times
It’s heads you win and tails I lose
Unprecedented deception, infected election, project and deflect away obvious crimes
Well pardon me, this ain't partisan, so stop schmoozin' about our abuse
Call me a sheep, that’s a cheapshot
Count on me to be wide awake while you’re asleep
I heard we’re nothing more than fodder, but some would kill to be livestock
They’ll lead you straight to the slaughter, without a single peep
We interrupt this broadcast to bring you courage
Previously on this place in time, your “culture’s” canceled, so tune in next season,
I'm tired of reruns
And Insincere reboots, they pull on nonexistent straps, we gotta clear the air
No reason to appease 'em, these low lives committing high treason
They may make light of this but we’ll make history for sure
Keep yourself in the dark, ignoring the canary in the coal mine
Just drop me a line, but wait, what’s that? Where’s your source?
Go ahead, unleash your rage, trapped in a cage
It’s apparent you’re a parrot, no surprise
I hate to break it to ya, shatter your echo chamber
Try to pick of the pieces, but there's no justice no peace and I can't breathe
We’re socialites living in a dark and heavy gloom
We’ll never zip your lips or listen to another talking head

I found out a multitude of things about myself this year
But you don't wanna know the shit that
I found out there's really no point, in breathing in that atmosphere
But you don't fucking hear me do ya?
I found out a little thing or two about the world this year
See I'm convinced were on the brink of
Pure extinction, but their kicking off their shoes and smiling ear to ear
No I don't fucking get it
My friends suggest I see a therapist lest ill be missed any day now
But all I hear is blah blah blah and yadda yadda yeah
Distance yourself from me,
I ain't tryna lose you its just most likely
Inevitable
So distance yourself from me,
I'm losing my grip on reality
My fears are inevitable
It's hard to grasp that all the power players they don't want us here
Well go ahead and try it
They kidnap kids from the border...and be like
"They disappeared"
Well we don’t fucking buy it
I found out....wait...
Are you browning out?...shit
I guess I'm talkin to myself again.
Like blah blah blah, and yadda yadda yeah
Distance yourself from me,
Even if I lose you it was most likely
Inevitable
So distance yourself from me,
I'm ready to take on reality
A change is inevitable

The question isn't where, it’s when
And can we start over again, start over again,
or at least put things to an end?
So how can you have time
when it clearly has you?
how can you have time
when it clearly has you?
What we know is but a drop
What we don't know is an ocean
Pain is our ship
And desire, is our compass
Most people are nothing more
but pawns on a chessboard led by an unknown hand
I refuse to wander through this wasteland
or navigate us through this this labyrinth until my death
You and I are perfect for each other
Never believe anything else
Never believe anything else
What we know is a drop
What we don't know is an ocean
Pain is our ship
Desire, is our compass
I’ve reflected on this moment for many years
When my fears were brought to the surface
if you gaze long enough into the Abyss
the Abyss also gazes into you
The paradise we were promised is nothing but a lie
It's nothing but a lie
It’s nothing but a lie
What we know is but a drop
What we don't know is an ocean
Pain is our ship
And desire, is our compass
What we know is a drop
And the rest is an ocean
Pain is our ship
Desire our compass,
we can't stop goin through the motions
I’ve reflected on this moment for many years
When my fears were brought to the surface

So what's it gonna be
Are you in or out?
I think I just might lose my temper
So what's it gonna be
Are you in or out?
I think I just might lose my temper
I called a cab
to take me down
to the docks
So far so good
It’s smooth sailing
Stay calm observe
They say there's nothing to see here
You say its ambitious
And unrealistic
But we don't have a choice
Cuz we cant resist it
I called a cab
The flashing lights
Flicker in the rear view mirror
Instilling fear
I'm Caught between
the devil and the deep blue sea
I felt my heart drop
My eyes are blood shot
So how's it gonna be
Are you in or out?
I swear I’m gonna lose my temper
You say its ambitious
And unrealistic
But we don't have a choice
Cuz we cant resist it
So pick it up, pick it up now
Carry the banner of your oppressor
It doesn't matter if you're left or right or center
To them we're all the same
Who knew that a smoking gun could be so much fun?
We're in over our heads and down in the doldrums
There's no crime in living
There's no crime in living
You say it’s ambitious
And unrealistic
But we don't have a choice
Cuz we cant resist it
I called a cab
By default we're all suspects
There's a bounty our heads
So all hands on deck
The sirens are screaming, please tell me I'm dreaming
Crashing down like waves, no one is safe
There's no crime in living

I've been feeling a bit under the weather
Taking sips from this storm in a teacup
Trying my best to finally get it together
Can't be caught off guard when inertia creeps up
This year took a turn for the worst *echo the worst*
It's enough to make your head spin
Fairweather friends throw caution to the wind
Stealing our thunder and drowning in sin
We’re tired of chasing rainbows and hearing fairytales
Our hearts have outgrown this, Our reason will prevail
We've got our work cut out for us
Running with scissors might not be the best plan
So speak up if you have the guts
And let's return to the conversation at hand
Another demagogue won't get the job done
Filled to the brim with empty rhetoric
I've gotta axe to grind, I gotta hand it to 'em
Will they bail us out or go down with the ship?
Fairweather friends throw caution to the wind
Stealing our thunder and drowning in sin
We're tired of chasing rainbows and hearing fairytales
Our hearts have outgrown this, Our reason will prevail
Can't see through the fog of war it's obvious they planned it
While they pacify the masses, I pray this ain't our last chance
This year took a turn for the worst
It's enough to make your head spin
I lost count trying to reach Cloud nine
Crossing my fingers that we'll all be just fine
I saved this song for a rainy day
Still dreaming of a brighter future without delay
We're tail spinning into a state of decay
This is sick, I'm over it, this isn't the way
Fairweather friends throw caution to the wind
Stealing our thunder and drowning in sin
We're tired of chasing rainbows and hearing fairytales
Our hearts have outgrown this, Our reason will prevail
Can't see through the fog of war it's obvious they planned it
While they pacify the masses, I pray this ain't our last chance
We've gotta make some progress
If not we're gonna force it, Coriolis
