COMPANY MAN
Just like a soldier
On the front lines
Would you die for this?
And if the answer is no then
You'll just end up pissed
Often sedated on the weekends
Leaves you wanting more
Cuz once you give in
To the rhythm
Monday's just next door
Comfort
Steadfast
And conservative
Conform
Manage
That's the way it is
Surfaces
Cultural fraud
You gain a life but you give a lot
And generally
Okay, partially...
You get to do the things that you want
And that's why I, oh I'm a company man
A German sedan
My promised land
And that's why I, oh I'm a company man
Company man
The outskirts of the days
Where dreams outrun the nights
Company man
The brimstone and the fire
The fate of the lost majority
The only way to safely aspire
Just like a soldier
On the front lines
Would you die for this?
And if the answer is yes, then
You're an idiot
Cuffed by delusions of grandeur
Leaves you wanting more
Cuz once you give in
To the rhythm
Sadly, you're done for
Comfort
Steadfast
And conservative
Conform
Manage
That's the way it is
Surfaces
Cultural fraud
You gain a life but you give a lot
And generally
Okay, partially...
You get to do the things that you want
And that's why I, oh I'm a company man
A German sedan
Company man
And that's why I, oh I'm a company man
Company man
The outskirts of the days
Where dreams outrun the nights

ONE WORLD TRADE
It's a lot
To digest
It’s a truth that never lets us rest
It's a landmine
And it enlists
It's the reason that One World Trade exists
Carefree days
Riptide of change
Against our will
Against our sensibilities
Carefree ways
Has its hostages
Against their will
But no one really knows what's going on over there
Get them out of here
Cuz I don't want to live in fear
Always wondering if it’s gonna be where I live
There's a trench of global disdain
And it gets deeper every time
There's a lot that we all want to say
But we're scared to cross the line
And so we lose our peace of mind
Subjectivity in reports
Xenophobic mindset distorts
Anger and intolerance
Extremist actions don’t make sense
Our culture continues to thrive on
While terrorists degrade true Islam
The problem isn’t easy to fix
Get 'them' out of here
Cuz I don't want to live in fear
Always wondering if it’s gonna be me this time
It's a means
Without an end
It's a horror story that impends
It's a vampire
It's amiss
It's the reason that One World Trade exists
There's a trench of global disdain
It gets deeper every time
And there's a lot that we all want to say
But we're scared to cross the line
And so we lose our peace of mind

BALTIMORE
I can feel you
I can feel you everywhere
Taking up all of our mindshare
I can feel you
I can feel you like a sun
Burning up all the work we've done
I can feel you
It's like something's coming after me
The generations to come
The age of undoing what's done
The lost empathy
Resentment and bereavement
Pulverizing cement
Freedom as we know it
Blows away in the climate of changing
Cadences
I can feel you
I can feel you in the air
Suffocating the model here
I can feel you
I can feel you like a gun
Barreling into everyone
I can feel you
It’s like something’s coming after me
The generations to come
The age of undoing what’s done
The lost empathy
Resentment and deception procreate to create maligned
Western ways
Gone are the days
Nostalgic memories
Cadences
I can see the crystal ball smashing out on the street
The selfish innocence
It’s like something’s coming after me
Cadences

CAN'T HIDE
These days…
Still behaving like the apes we are but shaved
And these days
So quick to share insignificant updates
But whatever, it’s the best time to be alive
As far as I’m concerned; well-concerted
Can’t imagine having all of this as a child
So many questions now and we can’t avert it
These days
You either opt-out or you play
These days
You’re either collective or you break away
Broken away
But the truth is you can’t hide from anybody now
And the proof is we just throw our private lives around
It’s getting weird
Maybe all our lies
Will shade the means to find them
Out and we will come to peace with
Everything we’re so ashamed of
These days
Still writing off the future to sustain
These days
The opportunities abound; I’m amazed
These days
Half-living moments so we can show them
These days
You’re either collective or you break away
Broken away
But the truth is you can’t hide from anybody now
And the proof is we just throw our private lives around
It’s getting weird
Maybe all our lies
Will shade the means to find them
Out and we will come to peace with
Everything we’re so ashamed of

TRUTH THAT YOU BELIEVE
Hesitant now
To go down this well
But all the explanations change
It’s a problem
One you’re not solvin’
My questions still feel unexplained
I don’t pretend to ‘get’ the complexities restrained
But I see the damage done and the repetition’s shaming you
And everyone that you deceive
We can’t broach the topic when your lies become the truth that you believe
Now, I’m familiar
With your dilemma
It’s something deeper than escape
Man I’ve got ya
But don’t want to watch ya
Trade of your dignity for pain
I don’t pretend to ‘get’ the complexities restrained
But I see the damage done and the repetition’s shaming you
And everyone that you deceive
We can’t broach the topic when your lies become the truth that you believe
