Take it take it It's yours, I promise, I swear Create more waste And spread it all without a care Lies Guarantee uprise Try as you might Hide Fallacies comprised Of mosquitoes and flies Break them Hate them Capitalize on their fear Taking away, slowly All that they hold dear Make them regret Ever choosing a side Suffering from The poison of national pride I Contemplate my time Wonder if it's a lie Shy From all the problems I Just step out the light Cry For malice and sulfide To burn out the night Try To keep face in front of All these prying eyes Take No give and all hate Taken Burn Just for the thrill All that we built is for nought Sit right down Don't look around Don't make a sound You're alright now Standing here on solid ground I guess you wonder why you're here Please don't fear my eyes Look i'm under lots of stress I begin to fear there's nothing left I'm sorry but I'm losing hope I admit I long for rest Well hear me now Looks like you got What you wished for And it turns out That nothing changed so how's that feel I think we better clear the air Please don't run, or cry Oh my god the feelings left A numbness all across my chest I hope that I can stay awhile Cus things are looking motionless Well don't you fret You'll be around For quite awhile You're so burnt out Just try to muster up a smile No use to worry anymore To be quite clear, you died If this is death then why the fear If only life could be so clear I hope that I was not in vain Remember that it's always near She said I want you to stay I hope you don't go But I want you to know You're the only hope To save them from annihilation Sit right down Don't look around Don't make a sound You're alright now Standing here on solid ground No need to wonder why you're here Just know my hands are tied Look I know we're at the end And i'm hoping just to make amends I think I see that I let down Everyone from foe to friend

We've Come so far Just to feel Like we are One of them Deep inside My greatest fear Come alive Breathe Suck it in From the vein Drenched in sin To the weak, minded Lost in fear You intended all that you dealt Yet you defend it, with every last breath We need another horizon One with some room to tread But we get the soulless mosquitos That suck you dry instead How long is it gonna take Before you care to learn to break Away from all the patterns That already show their age

Nu Horizons 04:55
Gather round We have plans for some profits that will make you proud Gonna tear it down and build Plants facilities, high capacity company towns Now how you ask Well I propose yours truly is up to the task To colonize and bring All of Nu Horizons into further skies Capitalist, philosophy Is ingrained in me I'm meant to be so much more but Blinded by greed It's easy to Lose sight of me Hear me out Maybe I can change it from the inside out Burn down All to redeem myself Now if I may address Any and all of your questions well please shoot away Well judging by your silence think we're A OK Now let's talk funds You know we'll reap rewards when all is said and done Oh profits wow, you'll be Takin it takin it makin bank on it rakin it in for Years to come Capitalist, philosophy Is ingrained in me I'm meant to be so much more but Blinded by greed It's easy to Lose sight of me Hear me out Maybe I can change it from the inside out Burn down All to redeem myself Who's that knocking on the door We don't take walk in apps no more Security please come and do your job And make sure that this boy is gone for good But I can do almost anything That you want me to Ain't no average Joe And I listened to all your music on My space transmitter radio, so Just let me know I'm looking for work and I'm ready to go I'm a real team player and I'm down with all the dirty shit You know I won't complain and all your messes i'll be moppin it, OH With Joe in tow Numan had, one more ally for what lay ahead But with all new beginnings Something must end And he left who he loved all alone in her head I am Destined to be One who can change the path of history You could Be by my side However instead you hold on to your pride If not the solution then we are the problem I beg you to think back to being at the bottom And realize it all stems from corporate greed I must break away hope to set others free Well I can take you but I really can't make you Left to me well I never would let you go Let you go So instead I guess this is the end Where we part ways And I'll never forget you no Noooooo And I don't know If you'll make it out tonight But I can say That I tried everything Ever since Humanity Industrialized this was destined to be We are the plague that's engulfing the earth Taking and taking and greenwashing words Lies Lies

The Papa 05:24
Look at me I am the papa You think you can run but I'm faster Walking around your carelessness Thinking that surely you're one who'll be missed Spreading the fuel for the fire So you can have all you desire Instant gratification or Coming together to weather the storm Well fuel the fire that burns you And breathe deep Sucking in all of the toxins They seep through your veins and permeate sleep Laying awake it consumes you Thinking of all that you've been through Realize nothing is permanent All you have is left is fleeting at best Now who's Coming to save you Knowing All that you do Burn All that we've built All that I know All that we've killed Oh how you thought you're a big boi Showing off all of your big toys Ripping down everything in your path Until there's nothing left Carelessness of surroundings How bout just leave as you found things Now that you know the end is near Don't the answers seem so clear Now who's Coming to save you Knowing All that you do Burn All that we've built All that I know All that we've killed We're in for a rough ride A self destructing landslide Humanity will subside So go on home Live Breathe Spread Die Live Breathe Spread Die Live Breathe Spread Die Live Breathe Spread Die I can't believe we got here Can't you see there's no god near We're gonna need a plan now To change our home Live Breathe Spread Die Live Breathe Spread Die Live Breathe Spread Die Live Breathe Spread Die Now who's Coming to save you Knowing All that you do Burn All that we've built All that I know All that we've killed

I look around Feel my face Feel my face Drift away Strap me down Dilate Dilate I float Towards the sound Dissipate Dissipate I am lost In the boundaries erase Diastase Well I can see the light I'm destined I can't fight it I can see the light It flickers in the distance when I close my eyes Well I, feel hope, in the sky And I, see them touched, by the light We are the seed A nu world Filled with green Well I can see the light I'm destined I can't fight it I can see the light It flickers in the distance when I close my eyes Attention This is your captain speaking We're experiencing brief turbulence But I'll advise you not to let it take away from the Work that you have Oh We have a case of cabin fever, baby take note Head up, and keep your eye on Joe Well I could use a little me time I could blow it up, and make it all feel better Leave them all to their starlight Tasks at night Wine, wine and dine Boy you better make this spaceship shine Wine, wine and dine You know this all is by design Whoa Into the great unknown, we go When we hit the ground, glad you made time Gonna come in looking like we know much better Sparkle them, with that shine shine In the radiant light I see you before me, followers of the light You trusted, you came, you deserve All that's in sight Well I stand here, before you The man that is guiding the brain And I swear neither risk nor your sacrifice Shall be in vain We're well on our way now It'll all be ok now Prepare to make waves now We'll sink or we'll sway out We'll see how this plays out Just let it all lay out We'll see how this plays out Let's see it all play out Sink or we'll swim are the options And I don't know How you're feeling But I can tell you I am in a better place And things look bright Shine on nu horizons Just listen to me Trust that we'll find a better way

Astro Joe 09:19
Well last September I never would have thought I'd be so far from home Can't remember Anything but growing up poor in the grocery store now I intend to Start a new life but I still don't know quite where I'm going So I plan to keep my eyes open Until I find out more Every night, every night, I Dream my way back home Looking up, looking up to the stars Just thinking I'm so alone Never had much love back there, no Not from anyone But I wake on up, I'm right back in that Godamn grocery store Mop it mop it, squeaky clean for those that preen Stop it stop it, this a spacecraft not no time machine Pop it pop it, found a bottle untouched in the garbage stuffed I Gulp it gulp it, better watch out bud your boi's fucked up Oh no It's been a rough ride And I'm feeling some way tonight Can't say everything will be all right And I'm shaking Oh baby I'm shaking My head keeps on pulsing And my thoughts they are racing They never wanna leave me alone I'm nothing more to them than a drone Why they always use that same tone Keep on mopping keep on cleaning never stopping that's my demon Oh, who am I I'll give a little whistle I'll give a little smile Baby I'm shaking Dancing earth quaking I wanna be someone I wanna be famous Who the fuck do you think are Thinking that you might a star Seems that you do not know your place Keep on failing always trailing never gonna fall in place No I'll never leave you alone Know your mind is not in the zone I've been watching you like a hawk Better get your shit together know your time won't last forever Morn I wake up Head goes pump with halls to clean I Wash my face up quick Never late because da boss is mean now Love to shake up All of this monotony yet Still need that paper So I suck it up and soap that b Every night, every night, I Dream my way back home Looking up, looking up to the stars Just thinking I'm so alone Never had much love back there No Not from anyone But I wake on up I'm right back in that godamn grocery store Even though it's still a rough ride You know I love the starlight Watching watching watching out my window My window the stars shine so bright Wait until we land and they'll see Know that it is destined to be Gotta take my piece of the pie Everybody everywhere Will hear my name and always cheer Oh, who am I I'll give a little whistle I'll give a little smile Baby I'm shaking Dancing earth quaking I wanna be someone I wanna be famous Everybody's laughing at you Know that none of this will come true We know that you don't have what it takes Give it up just give it up I told you son to fall in place People cannot change who they are Not just anybody's a star You were born the same way you'll die Always empty good for nothing how bout do your job or something With what I I I I go through You're my my my my go to With what I I I I go through You're my my my my go to With what lies lies lies I told you In the night night night I hold you With what I I I I go through You're my my my my go to Even with what I I I I go through I try try try to pull through With what I I I I go through You're my my my my go to

Well they heard me out Now I'm deep inside the brain Wrestling with inner doubt Will they feel let down Or more like I feel myself And if things don't change Can I remove myself Oh this I often contemplate And if I remain Is that just more of the same

Try, try to find Find a way to make it through the night Haunt, how you haunt How you haunt my thoughts in darkness or light Hope, how I hope To one day atone All that I've done All it I own We're falling Slowly fading wonder Leading us asunder Right before my eyes Look, look inside Deep inside my eyes and you'll find All, all you fear, all you fear is not but shadows at night Dusk, in the dusk Lingers your fright Breaking you down Taking the light We're falling Slowly fading wonder Leading us asunder Right before my eyes So trust me I can feel my heart break Breaking into nothing Tearing at the fabric Of my life now I Look at my heart Look at my soul Looking at everything everything oh Was it for me Was it for you Was it for them I don't know How We Move on Twisting and turning I feel my heart burning yet I Try to Sleep sound Lying awake I'm afraid for our fates given I Look towards the sun Look towards the stars Looking at Everything we've done so far Was it for wealth Was it for fear Was it for them I don't know How We Move on Twisting and turning, I feel my heart burning, yet I Try, to Stay strong Gravity, gravity, holding it close to me Oh, oh How does this end And I've been looking for a little bit of love tonight Hoping that it all turns out ok and we fall down alright I'm still addicted to a certain type of Lifestyle yes I've always been afflicted And I'm hoping that one day I'll find some peace of mind Knowing that I benefited many of my fellow kind I'm still stuck here the middle But I hang tight never really quite a quitter So I Wonder How I'll sleep at night Knowing that I gave up on you Well we've been looking for a way to have a better life Hoping that I've given up my ways to lead us towards the light Still I Worry, that it's hard to fully change myself And I'll always be the same So I consider what it takes to break the chains Not for myself but for the others in the race Can one, previous in power Be enough to spark without becoming just another So I Wonder How I'll sleep at night Knowing I gave up just on you

Wasted everything If I cant see this through To true finality well They took a chance on me And this I must respect A good king won't forget We just don't know exactly What the future holds quite yet Walking I'm pacing around Uncertain if I'm in the right And I've became the one To which the rest all look for light I question my intents And If they make a difference Is there really such a thing as Selflessness without ambition Will I Become The very thing I Swore to stop Oh no And this they all expect We've all the same intent I make believe that I am Not another tyrant Walking I'm pacing around Uncertain if I'm in the right After some time you know You can begin to lose all sight I question my intents And if they make a difference There is no such fucking thing as Selflessness without ambition I look inside I look inside The depths The depths Of my petulant mind But mine is the mind That gathered and pried All of the lives that were Destined to die Well I look towards the light The stars shining bright And I question myself If what I've done is right I have tried to preserve Human breath, human life But the scale of it all Makes for such complex plights And I'm trying to so hard To see truth in it all This is not who we are, this not who we are Just a blight on the world causing planets to fall This is not who we are this is POLYANTHROPONOMIA

Null 02:58
I woke as from a daydream High above the clouds I listened as the wind cried out It sang of human hubris Illusions of control Against a force that can't be Slowed And what's found in the riverbed Speaks to what lies ahead Everything Everything Comes back around in the end Never really the end And hopefulness holds us to high aspirations While emptiness follows corrupt incantations By governments Looking out For corporations As we Stand Watching I I tried To hold on to hope For this future of ours This is not who we are This is just where we're at This is Polyanthroponomia Nomia
