Shut your mouth, open your mind
close your eyes, embrace your thoughts
don't you think it's better to let them presume?
than to speak out loud and remove all their doubt

Progress daily

Here I present to you a key
a little bit of sense perhaps you know
but just ignore
It's sometimes hard to see through fog
or get your bearings straight throughout the storm
you'd best well prepare
Once prepared well just set sail and...
If there were a predetermined path
don't you think that everyone would be
already sat upon their throwns?
So break façades from your ideology
Get out of your 9-5 routine
work hard progress daily
Compare it to a blank page in a book
the quill and ink won't write it for you no
they have no heart
to wear success atop your head a crown
an arduous task ahead it seems
How'd you rather spend your time?
Have you ever stopped to think
about the road to your success?
then here it's best you know, it has not yet been built
Since there's no elevator to
the top let's just take the stairs
enjoy the sunset along the way
among the metaphoric clouds
I meet an age old treasure chest
I throw it open with the key
An old friend passed on to me

An oh-so familiar scene
the sight of a single leaf's
graceful decent down
It's the time of year again
see the beauty in all that's in
the changing of season
and all that's seen
like summer's verdent leaves
a projection of color all around
Appreciate the earth's simplest greats
A mozaic of leaves spralled on the ground
Azure-like overtone in the sky and lakes below
This picturesque scene- incomparable
It's a mark of something new
the sight of a single flake's
graceful decent down
It's the time of year again
see the alchemy in all that's in
Jack Frost's trail last night
and all that's seen
like autumn's fallen leaves
a blanket laid all across the ground
Appreciate the earth's simplest greats
A mozaic of leaves spralled on the ground
Azure-like overtone in the sky and lakes below
This picturesque scene- incomparable

Fictionist's intent
03:08
|

There could be meaning hidden behind every word you've laid eyes on
Peeping round the corner of your conscious you're too enthralled to know
Exploiting innocence to tug the heartstrings of those with weak judgement
Wake up from your sweetest slumber and take cognizance full on
What you've read can't be true
The simply direct, could come across too strong
the adverse of the fictionist's intent
Don't take for granted the imagination's grasp
for our head defiant of all tethers
Hung for all to see
Topic divergence, one may seem too weak
The simply direct, could come across too strong
the adverse of the fictionist's intent
Don't take for granted the imagination's grasp
for our head is loaded with our treasures

Back to basics
03:24

Apparent reoccurance of topics sung before
as if there's only one love song that you know
A simplistic brainwash for "fans" they're just numbers
to super fat cats sat upon their haul from the latest boy band trend
But fuck 'em all, we're just here having fun now
writing what we want, we wouldn't throw it away
for what most consider good
But after all, mediocrity is number 1
rince and repeat the process starts again
Mass produce predictable, relatable songs
lacking diversity but who cares cos the masses eat it up

Words are our weapons against
the ill-informed, the ignorant
a hierachy of hate spread throughout our media
I'm all for disinfecting
Rid your kind of your disease
Vaccine for them

Long way back
03:47
|
|||
|
Experiences preventing me from chaotic progress
I lose my footing on a rock that's made of gold
a beautiful gem stone
It's a long way back to yesterday
I said a long way back to what I used to know
or what I didn't know
The road behind me long
yet all too much the same
ahead of me unknown
Predictable outcome
every single time
I pick up the phone
It's a long way back to yesterday
I said a long way back to what I used to know
or what I didn't know
I'll never forget
where I came from
we all start out young

生活并不是为了到达目的地
而是享受走路过去
千万不要让自己感觉到失望
永远抬头对世界
抬头对世界
shenghuo bing bushi weile daoda mudi di
ershi xiangshou zou lu guoqu
qianwan bu yao rang ziji ganjue dao shiwang
yongyuan taitou dui shijie
taitou dui shijie

Taking on the world
03:14
|

Sickness is part of life
we all have ups and downs
but when a check up goes ignored
something small turns chronic
in a hospital bed for months
independance is all but gone
an outlook that's far from great
given a few more years to live
Someday you'll be back on your feet to take on the world again
But for now just rest it out leave the work to medicine,
Let this song be all you need to catalyst recovery
Give you the strength needed to live not just be rid of this disease
a wife, 2 kids back home
a family crumbling from the debt
father has just resigned
to take care of his only son
all's well in the end this time
dad's back home with his kids
next time might not be the same
it maybe someone that you love
Someday you'll be back on your feet to take on the world again
But for now just rest it out leave the work to medicine,
Let this song be all you need to catalyst recovery
Give you the strength needed to live not just be rid of this disease

The cold north
03:55
|
|||
|
The calm before the storm
Not again we swore
for no one should be pro war
yet here we stand again
red button in callow hands
facing to the cold north
Without your neighbor who
would've helped you in conflict
pre-emptive strike from the northern side
of the 38th parallel
Over a million dead for what?
A way to end all life
humanity in descent
An arbitrary playground fight
who parents presidents?
Their dictatorship leads
A nation to it's knees
The brain washed masses
live through faithful fear
of simply speaking out their minds
a life of slave labor arises
should a single step be out of line
Without your neighbors who
would assist you through famine
Most donations sent from the southern side
of the DMZ
yet songun fueled the fire
