The Corporation

My desk, my new home,
To sit back, watch the hours fly,
Get to work with no delay,
We’re told it’s better this way.
Burn the suit,
It’s become your skin,
Let your flesh be free.
Because your mind is unhealthy.
Burn the suit,
It’s become your skin,
Relieve your grief,
And try to remember.
We’re all nameless,
And faceless,
Hidden in the strangest places,
But the only thing that’s real left here is you,
They’ll deny truth all they want,
But our resolve is what holds us down.
All that’s real in here is you,
Only past resembles truth,
Faceless shadows burrow through,
Still all that’s real in here is you.
I’ve seen behind those eyes,
We’ve seen behind your broken smile,
That there is more to this life,
That you have become compromised.
Time has come to free their minds,
The act is up, we’ll prove their lies,
Let’s stand beside what we know is right,
Leave the corporation, cut those ties.
Your desk, your new home,
Sit back and watch the hours fly.
No questions, just obey,
We know it’s better this way.
Force a smile,
Let the act begin,
Though your self may fade.
Prove your mind’s become healthy.
Force a smile,
Let the act begin,
Relieve your grief,
And try to forget that.
We’re all nameless,
And faceless,
Hidden in the strangest places,
But the only thing that’s real left here is you,
They’ll deny truth all they want,
But our resolve is what holds us.
Strive to find the truth inside us all.
My mind,
Lost in this sea of data,
I would still give every last breath to find you.
Wandering aimlessly,
Visions they’ll only pass,
Show me there’s meaning behind these numbers.
Corporate affairs aimed to hide you,
Visions come and pass,
Show me there’s meaning behind these numbers.
Fat cats in offices,
Hiding secrets that were always ours,
Show me the meaning behind all these numbers.

Impact

Protest in the streets,
Tear down the barricades of those who’d harm you,
Could your impact have meaning?
Given half a chance, let the hate subside
Let the hate subside,
Your mind grows,
Colder every day.
All the years behind,
Just a show,
Until you’ve learned to say.
We’ll open our minds to something more,
Unlock our soul’s firmly locked door,
We’ll never find the peace we seek,
Until we’re open to more, stay open to all
Protest in the streets,
Tear down the barricades.
Untie me,
To live life free.
Untie me,
To live life free.
We’ll open our minds to something more,
Unlock our soul’s firmly locked door,
We’ll never find the peace we seek,
Until we’re open to more, stay open to all
Together, we’ll find the way to co-exist,
Find our peace, open up,
Let the world see what an impact we’ve had,
Now we’re open to more, stay open to all.
Can you learn to abide,
By simple rules?
Give in to our wish.
For all to survive,
We’ve got to learn,
To guard those oppressed.
Live life free
Live life free

Feels like it’s getting tough now,
This distance that’s grown in size,
But with your mind wide open,
You will feel alive.
There’s a darkness inside you,
I’ve felt it a thousand times,
But with your eyes wide open,
You will learn to feel alive.
I’d like to hide my faith,
Behind lost meaning and metaphor,
Channel gods inside me too,
Yet my greatest faith is placed in you.
I’d like to hide my face,
Amongst those trees and mountains forever more,
Look above, there’s nothing new,
My body’s broke, but my soul’s renewed.
I’d like to hide my faith,
Behind lost meaning and metaphor,
Channel gods inside me too,
Yet my greatest faith is placed in you.
Separate from selfish thoughts,
Override my critical norm,
You have surpassed my dreams,
With a gift that goes unseen,
Through all that’s been,
Could we ever believe?
Will you hand me a lifeline?
Free me from this strife,
Take my hand through the darkness,
To help me change the tide.
Each day is getting harder,
This distance inside,
A mileage promised by metaphor,
Will you learn to feel alive?
I’d like to hide my faith,
Behind lost meaning and metaphor,
Channel gods inside me too,
Yet my greatest faith is placed in you.
I’d like to hide my face,
Amongst those trees and mountains forever more,
Look above, there’s nothing new,
My body’s broke, but my soul’s renewed.
I’d like to hide my faith,
Behind lost meaning and metaphor,
Channel gods inside me too,
Yet my greatest faith is placed in you.
There’s a silence that comes from years of feeling trapped with your own thoughts,
Decades wasted away in a cage for which you’re to blame,
Let someone breach the gates,
And let their thoughts creep in,
Let’s not spend any more time with all this buried within.
Open your eyes,
Feel that there’s a calling,
Realise the signs,
And begin to take control.
There’s a silence that comes from years of feeling trapped with your own thoughts,
Decades wasted away in a cage for which you’re to blame,
Let someone breach the gates,
And let their thoughts creep in,
Let’s not spend any more time with all this buried within.
Open your eyes,
Feel that there’s a calling,
Realise the signs,
And begin to take control.
