Break 04:00
Break Take it from Break Take it from me Take With permission love Don't break Don't break my trust You're not afraid of anything You've never had a reason to be Two become one and sometimes three And why should we care? Breaking barriers and Shaking all of my nerves On the Edge- Lean towards it I bet you can afford it Buckles can pinch and chains can twist But pleasure was never your nemesis Only the ones who caused you scars And called you "SINNER, SINNER, SINNER!!" The voice is there to keep you safe Far from anything commonplace Just travel across time and space So what's the big deal? You denounce it and make it hurt You announce yours with boring hairshirts I pronounce "fun" and you hear "pervert" You renounce it and take us further away from a place where responsible people with systems can replace the predators holding hostage the victims You make it immoral and we pay the price again So Shake In your fetters and Slake Your thirst or better Learn All your letters And put that gavel down

Dear Sir, 05:43
Dear Sir, You say it is vain to claim "We are the cause of mother's changes." I argue the gall is greater to assume she's immune to all our excess. You can't put your finger on the long-term ripple-echoes of a single step you take. And yet you make them, so is it real or faked then, Your certainty Sir? So who is the one who is convinced that we are the scum of the earth? You have us under your thumb, but one-to-one, you're not even worth someone's weight in tears. Is it because of the likes of you and your residue that I sometimes approve of our extinction? And are you really hardwired to scar and char this world into cinders? Consider Your circuitry, Sir. Do you agree... we're an aberration and we should walk into the sun? as a species we are too greedy to evolve? you are taking us swiftly to a premature end? are we on the same page, do we both lack such faith in humanity? (Should we all burn then, or should we just target them causing our premature end?) Yeah I wish I was Le Femme Nikita, sniper rifle in hand, I would hold you stand for your crimes and demand the end of your... Your cerebrum, Sir. I wish that'd be the end of it. If I could put a stop to it by just putting a bullet in it, But we all know what would become of it: YOU, I'd turn into it, MURDER becomes HER, murder will transform IT; into the PERPETRATOR, into YOU, sir, into YOU, SIR.

The Hour 05:05
I can only hope that we Haven't reached that critical time yet Cause if its happened already What else will slap us in the face Give us the opportunity to Retrace our steps make amends take the evil in with no means for justifying ends just means she just means for heres and nows to transcend our desire for a happy ending or fears of devils in our beds put to rest What's it going to take for me To ask for help and once I do what will it help? Cause I've survived all of this time on solidarity And now it's perforated, saturated, with a distinct Need for you to come through to let me ask of you this selfless act where we bring back the humanity that we've lacked restore our souls recollect our goals and foster those that we've left for dead that are just asleep instead I just need a place to lay my head a place to call a bed a phone to call a friend a dollar, kid I just need a second chance a warmer pair of pants you to take my hands and not your terrified glance

WP 06:55
Are you sick of it? Do you not want to hear about it? Imagine the exhaustion within If you were the one with the dark skin*** I don't know, and I can't know, and I'll never know just what that's like And you may not know (if you don't know by now), you'll never know what's that's like And if you claim to know that you don't know about what it's like on the other side Then you're answering "if" when we need to ask "what" What are we going to do with all of this WHITE PRIVELAGE Well the first step is accepting the truth that it EXISTS, And if that's too hard for you BIGOTS Then that's what you are, and we obviously have work to do I find it strange I still have hope in the human race Lately, things have been pretty fucked up I guess we've still got a long way to go if we want to get to space (What do we do now?) What are we going to do with all of this WHITE PRIVELAGE Well the first step is accepting the truth that it EXISTS, And if that's too hard for you BIGOTS Then that's what you are, So hold up a mirror It's the 21st century and we need to see more clearly If you've got any power, then that means someone has less And it's so obvious it's narcissicm at best To get wrapped into your conquests And charmed by the womb Of all this softness and quiet Of a life lived just for you and yours It's more than just surviving Moreso about this "mine mine mine" mentality That'll leave us all alone Leave us all alone We're not just animals anymore We don't have to hoard We have got to care There's too much pain out there And you've got it too Up in the penthouse, yeah even you It's deep and blind and cruel We are all alone So while we're on this plane We need to find a common name Evolution is the aim Cause we are all the same And we all play this stupid game But the rules are not always the same If your skin's a different shade So let's burn this pallisade And I don't know what to do But I know it has to start with you To accept the truth that Decades cannot centuries undo And you will screw your kids up too If you're not asking "What are we going to do?" ***(bass line is morse code for "FUCK RACIST POLICE, PUT THEM IN JAIL")
