Track Name: Dystopia
Dystopia

In this paradise
The birds flap steel wings
And isn’t so nice
To hear the midnight sirens sing
Dystopia
Concrete tress with glass leaves
Dystopia
Polluted streams the city bleeds

See the rusted sun rise
Steel trees stretch to disguise
Many people have adapted to the shade
Of the graveyard jungle in disarray

On these dirty roads
Streets are swarming with drones
So busy to get home
To their apartment complex honeycomb
Dystopia
Land of the caged clones
Dystopia
Kings in reclining leather thrones

See the sour sun rise
To blanket the demise
Maybe we’ll see the day
Where sorrow’s clouds will drift away

Dystopia
Got me bent down on my knees
Dystopia
Got to find a way to leave

See the watch guard sun rise
Igniting the sky
It’s breaking through the shade
Melting a promise of a better day
Track Name: BabbleOn
Babble On

Hold on to what you’re gonna say
Hold on to what you’re gonna say

When there is a fog inside yore weary heart
They think they have the answers for your question marks
Don’t know when it will finish and don’t know when it began
Been flooded by these voices trying to tell you the best plan
Impregnate you with rhetoric to raise you On Demand
No one else understands
The advice is nice
To make you think twice
Despite the Sophist’s sway
Navigate your own way
Tell them:
“Hold on to what you’re gonna say.”

What do you believe in when the reasons feign
You’re soaked in all the treason now your views may change
Opinions make us different opinions make us the same
Everybody’s using theirs to rectify their name
Slaves to status quo, the status quo must be maintained
Forsake the flow of the grain
To silence the pawn
They tend to Babble On/Babylon
When they step out of place
Tell them:
“Shut your face!
Hold on to what you’re gonna say.”

Chorus:

Don't try to hold it down
Leave it where it's found
It's got to learn to cope
In this kaleidoscope
of sense

Don't try to hold me down
Leave me where I'm found
I've got to learn to cope
In this kaleidoscope
of sense

Don't try to hold us down
Leave us where we're found
We've got to learn to cope
