You can run Run to the edge of the world You can hide Crawl away from the light Holding on You can run Where nobody knows who you are You can lie Making up somebody’s life Holding on It always comes back to you It always comes looking for you Until you turn You can hide Hide where there’s no one in sight You can run Run away from the light It always comes back to you Holding on

Starling 04:58
Starling what will you inherit Spinning in the wind Between these shellshocked stalks of man No new forest growing here Is this what it seems? Starling what will you inherit Nesting in the stones, Animated afterimages Wreckage that is set like bones Starling, do you see? There is nowhere left but down Tomorrow crashing like a tree’s falling leaves Have we really thought it through Is this the best that we can do? Starling what will you inherit The next act on the stage, High-rise headstones decorate the set, The skyline is not broken yet, Starling, you are free. There is nowhere left but down Tomorrow crashing like a tree’s falling leaves Have we really thought it through Is this the best that we can do?

Bloodworker 04:58
Reviewing your nightmares You turn on the news Sifting though garbage For grains of the truth And the blood on your hands won’t wash away Nature is frightened But what can it do There’s no fear of dying But I worry for you And the blood on your hands won’t wash away The lies of convenience you sell today Oceans of plasma Beaches of rust The ghosts of your future write your name in the dust Inherit a planet Take on a debt There’s ash in the coffee From the last cigarette And the blood on your hands won’t wash away The lies of convenience you sell today

It’s nice to meet you Drop the gun and stay a while To be fair, I haven’t been this scared In quite a while The book is open like an iris Time has stopped in the standing field The textbooks talk about the splitting of the atom And repeats of ancient history Memory is falling Harmony is calling Back the memories Of a war we labelled peace We live in a world of monsters and gods We are helpless we are tossed On seas of uncontrollable loss We live in a world where nightmares are real We are fractured we are lost Bought and traded at permanent cost In the gift shop at the circus of death Children hang forgotten souvenirs In the coal dust, the showrooms of America Bringing darkness to a future hid by fog Sell yourself for a suitcase full of money Walk away with a briefcase full of blood You sell yourself Tell me if it’s it worth it We live in a world of monsters and gods We are helpless we are tossed On seas of uncontrollable loss We live in a world where nightmares are real We are fractured we are lost Bought and traded at a permanent cost Look around Check your feelings as you’re coming down Look around Check your feelings You’re coming down (Why should I care?) The news is on fire Bridges are burning Innocence is broken Treaties are smashed We live in a world Of monsters and gods We helplessly watch In the Standing Field The nightmares are real It’s human to feel It’s none or it’s all Divided we fall We live in a world Of monsters and gods We helplessly watch In the Standing Field The moment passes The children are caged But we’re numb and the structure remains In the company of our own fears A broken world seen through tired tears Forget to breathe Click and drag Dusting off the robes And dressing up in rags Crave and want Instead of need Pacifiers made of plastic greed
