Playing Fair 02:28
What did you mean by playing fair It’s satisfaction through subtraction Do you even care It’s clear and plain to see Even if your blind Your welfare their crosshairs You’ll be left behind Woah Woah You want me to feel free It’s not the same when you hold me down You want me to feel free It’s not the same when you hold me Power in the wrong hands of those who have no soul Buying minds one click at a time and their always paid in full and if you’ll take another look their methods tried and true Fall in line or use your mind the choice is up to you Woah Woah You want me to feel free It’s not the same when you hold me down You want me to feel free It’s not the same when you hold me You want me to feel free It’s not the same when you hold me down You want me to feel free It’s not the same when you hold me What did you mean by playing fair It’s satisfaction through subtraction Do you even care It’s clear and plain to see Even if your blind Your welfare their crosshairs You’ll be left behind Woah Woah You want me to feel free It’s not the same when you hold me down You want me to feel free It’s not the same when you hold me You want me to feel free It’s not the same when you hold me down You want me to feel free It’s not the same when you hold me down

Now, if you take another look to see the other way There’s no remorse for a gifted horse when the teeth confirm the age And if you close your eyes ignore the signs You’ll curse both night and day Stay strong now, Stay strong now And wolves get hungry Relentless on the hunt With misaligned planets and money used for hush Is this really all you could expect it to be A world full of chaos and insanity Discourse Takes you to the core Power in numbers And it feels like one could take no more Can’t help but wonder Just what, what the future stores Are you above or under Win the battle, to win the war Power in numbers Now, if you take the another look to see the other way Odds would have it, you’d see the rabbit like a needle in the hay But if you close your eyes, ignore the signs, you’ll curse both night and day Stay strong now, Stay strong now And wolves get hungry relentless on the hunt With misaligned planets and money used for hush Is this really all you could expect to be A world full of chaos and insanity Discourse Takes you to the core Power in numbers And it feels like, one could take no more Can’t help but wonder Just what, what the future stores Are you above or under Win the battle, to win the war Power in numbers Instructed lesson by number 4 on a “bad break” The state of mind is intertwined like highways and interstates So, go be gracious now Sometimes it’s plain and simple, sometimes it’s hard to see when the ocean begins with a dribble and turns into the sea The only question is how Woah A caveat to discontent And what I said is what I meant A caveat to discontent And what I meant is what said A caveat to discontent A caveat to discontent, Power in numbers And what we said is what we meant, Power in numbers A caveat to discontent, Power in numbers And what we said is what we meant

Blind Eye 02:33
With an explanation to a policy And a forbidden fruit just out of reach The more I see, the less I wanna know But if the clock strikes 12 and it all goes to Hell Or it comes on down to a show and tell I’m standing in the room, but all alone And so you just Turn a blind eye And when you realize That your hands are bound and tied Oftentimes it’s in the air Truth be told You don’t care So take a trip to the other side Hold your breath and read my mind The air is thin, when the elephants in the room But if your eyes are wide, and the planets align With a little help from the other side You’d have to see the witch has lost her broom And so you just Turn a blind eye And when you realize That your hands are bound and tied Oftentimes it’s in the air Truth be told, You don’t care Oftentimes it’s in the air You don’t care, You don’t care You don’t care So take a trip to the other side You don’t care, You don’t care You don’t care So take a trip to the other side Hold your breath and read my mind With an explanation to a policy A forbidden fruit just out of reach The more I see the less I wanna know But if your eyes are wide And the planets align With a little help from the other side You’d have to see the witch has lost her broom And so you just Turn a blind eye

This Time 03:47
Conflicting information and subconscious infiltration What’s it mean to you, yeah, this is nothing new Their fabricating lies, then they hang you out to dry It’s time to make a move, yeah we gotta see it through Walking on thin ice, with no guarantee Is better than treading water in the frigid sea If I had to take a guess at the riddle of success Or gamble with the reasoning of societies hopelessness The one thing that I’d say The one thing that I’d say It’s time, it’s time, this time We’re standing on the stage of humanity's last crusade It’s time, it’s time, this time We’re standing on the stage of humanity's last crusade Public education is a planned indoctrination I think they call it groomed, yeah this is nothing new They sell you what they can, media versus man Total mind control, and soon they’ll want your soul Walking on thin ice, with no guarantee Is better than treading water in the frigid sea If I had to take a guess at the riddle of success Or gamble with the reasoning of societies hopelessness The one thing that I’d say The one thing that I’d say It’s time, it’s time, this time We’re standing on the stage of humanity's last crusade It’s time, it’s time, this time We’re standing on the stage of humanity's last crusade We’ve had enough I said, we’ve had enough We’ve had enough The one thing that I’d say The one thing that I’d say The one thing that I’d say The one thing that I’d say The one thing that I’d say The one thing that I’d say The one thing that I’d say The one thing that I’d say It’s time, it’s time, this time We’re standing on the stage of humanity's last crusade It’s time, it’s time, this time We’re standing on the stage of humanity's last crusade The one thing that I’d say The one thing that I’d say

I couldn’t tell by the look in your eye If you were for real as you inked goodbye And others knew that you were going home No time for indecision, when you reap what you sow And when the time became, the moment to strike You popped the lid on your tank, and made your way to the pipe In less than 35, you could smell the sea For those left behind this was a small victory I swear to god, there’s nothing wrong Keep on moving, everything’s in place Let’s take this time, and do it right and celebrate this great escape I always knew, you’d see it through You weren’t the type to second guess Catching lightning in a bottle, like there’s no tomorrow In this life you get one chance And if it’s true, you made it through In hopes of finding true romance It’s like lightning in a bottle, like there’s no tomorrow In this life you get one chance They wouldn’t know for an hour or two Whether you were in place, and not to be confused With the time it takes, to perform this escape Proper execution and the will to be great And she’ll be waiting there, in the deep blue sea Like she’d been all along this was no mystery In less than 35, you’d be on your way You became a hero when you escaped that day I swear to god, there’s nothing wrong Keep on moving, everything’s in place Let’s take this time, and do it right and celebrate this great escape I always knew, you’d see it through You weren’t the type to second guess Catching lightning in a bottle, like there’s no tomorrow In this life you get one chance And if it’s true, you made it through In hopes of finding true romance It’s like lightning in a bottle, like there’s no tomorrow In this life you get one chance I always knew, you’d see it through You weren’t the type to second guess Catching lightning in a bottle, like there’s no tomorrow In this life you get one chance And if it’s true, you made it through In hopes of finding true romance It’s like lightning in a bottle, like there’s no tomorrow In this life you get one chance

Is it true, that when they say, live to fight another day The consequence is real, if it all remains the same Parallel to dire straits Tarot cards and handling snakes I’m only here to mold your philosophy Rolling eyes East to West, Mystify with INXS If you caught me steppin’ Then I probably made your day Numbers charms and you know How we lack self control The price that you will pay Has only just begun So tell, tell me Where’d we all go wrong Can you, sell, sell me The calm before the storm As if it’s all been labeled fact When all is said and done Is this how we all spend our time, trying to chase the sun Is it true, the gospel word Survival thrives within the herd Better step in line, or be cast out like a spell Parallel to dire straits, tarot cards and handling snakes I’m only here to mold your philosophy Rolling eyes east to west Mystify with INXS If you caught me steppin’ Then I probably made your day Numbers charms and you know How we lack self control The price that you will pay Has only just begun So tell, tell me Where’d we all go wrong Can you, sell, sell me The calm before the storm As if it’s all been labeled fact When all is said and done Is this how we all spend our time, trying to chase the sun So tell, tell me Where’d we all go wrong Can you, sell, sell me The calm before the storm As if it’s all been labeled fact When all is said and done Is this how we all spend our time, trying to chase the sun

Shifting gears with no commotion There’s primates in space with such devotion The object is simple It’s whether you win or lose The timing was off It’s not just what they said When your playing with fire and your on the mend You cannot fight what you cannot see Conflicting points of imagery With the words that bind us to the games that we must play And it seems like they take more with every single day If it’s fire that your chasing with an everlasting thirst When mercury is at its peak how could Hell be any worse With the words that bind us to the games that we must play And it seems like they take more with every single day If it’s fire that your chasing with an everlasting thirst When mercury is at its peak how could Hell be any worse Here’s a thought, lost in motion The wheel is moving but the axle is broken When your high on fire, for miles to see And your shedding the skin of complacency The lights are on, but are you home Or are you chasing the carrot at the end of the rope Shoots and ladders, as if it all matters If the former seems to fail then you’ll still have the latter If you boil it down, by all accounts It’s better to take a stance and hold some ground There’s not much more that one could say Just roll the dice and come what may With the words that bind us to the games that we must play And it seems like they take more with every single day If it’s fire that your chasing with an everlasting thirst When mercury is at its peak how could Hell be any worse With the words that bind us to the games that we must play And it seems like they take more with every single day If it’s fire that your chasing with an everlasting thirst When mercury is at its peak how could Hell be any worse Any worse

Can you see just what I mean when I say to you It’s no lie, we’re confined, and you know it’s true Bare feet on the street, fresh outta home Bought the dream, missed the scheme And now your all alone It’s fair to say, but anyway, who really cares Their selling stars from afar and you want your share And I don’t know, exactly what it means But it goes to show, and more importantly With generations groomed to fall in line Legacies built on selling the divide The question still remains Why be a pawn in their game With generations groomed to fall in line Legacies built on selling the divide The question still remains Why be a pawn in their game We’re all for sale, to no avail, I see we’re here again Spoon fed lies, no compromise But every now and then They buy dream, ignore the scheme, and then they represent The status quo, for which we know, will walk in wet cement And I don’t know Exactly what it means But it goes to show, and more importantly And I don’t know Exactly what it means But it goes to show, a lack of empathy With generations groomed to fall in line Legacies built on selling the divide The question still remains Why be a pawn in their game With generations groomed to fall in line Legacies built on selling the divide The question still remains Why be a pawn in their game I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know And I don’t know Exactly what it means But it goes to show But more importantly And I don’t know Exactly what it means But it goes to show A lack of empathy With generations groomed to fall in line Legacies built on selling the divide The question still remains Why be a pawn in their game With generations groomed to fall in line Legacies built on selling the divide The question still remains Why be a pawn in their game
