American Self-expression is the ultimate release.
It's all just a picture One flash of color behind the next Each demanding to be recognized as something new or novel While they both are of the same Tangential one may claim So distant from itself As though its shadow were not its own Hidden yet uncovered

True Sight
We're All Here To Create But what are we really Our hands grasped so tight When the cup should just spill free Report me to your role Not as the alternative A conversation about nothing Without a thought to give So natural and so real As it all comes to cut Dangerous as designed Never left to ask what

Corporate Plunge
All of this shouting, but who's to really claim When we walk around so faceless with nothing to gain It's just a system to extrapolate your fears Designed to be destructive, disgusting, and to jeer Quiet as we sit, appearing only to view Questioning nothing, we're erupting into something new It's a victimless society, for we have all chosen consent As we cry to the TV for what's true, we pray and repent Blinded by the odds we ebb and bob like a float in water But the bed is dry, there's nothing to deny, enjoy this job

Who's Really At Fault?
Distraught and disturbed by most things around It's all a mind state, viewing from the ground But it's tough to look up, when there's never enough Of what us needed, to believe, and you feel so stuck Conceited in their actions, distractions posed in factions Everything is meant to be, how could this really happen?

Trapped
Freedom isn't freedom when you think about it really When there is no other way to live Trapped by societal pressures and stressors to be something greater or lesser But it's not really who you are Enriched with your own self-esteem Nothing from pill, powder, or green Controlled of the station viewed But that's not how they want it All the companies have fronted Thousands of dollars for their revenue It's freedom from the free That's what we're looking for Freedom from the free For ever and ever more Freedom from the free What's playing on channel four Freedom from the free Television stations do not exist anymore

Freedom From The Free
She's all alone It's Thursday night She's eating with a candle light A glass of wine or maybe three To help to drown her company The noise around is all a blur Everyone's laughter seems to stir As people pass they all will stare She noticed, and hoped that one would care No love for work No self-esteem No one to love Nothing to dream She's had enough It's all the same Not another day of this stupid game Her shopping bag is fully packed No thoughts for action, the plan is exact With one last toast she'll kiss goodbye Her loneliness and the beauty of its lie

Table For One
Here you are as am I When we both look at the same Acting like it's differernt Such a ridiculous frame Your clouded eyes could never see The reason to your rhyme Detached from the consequences Everything is just fine Squares and circles all align What could ever differ Please don't talk to me anymore Understand and refrain Look at me one more time Ask me something or get lost To me it seemed That you had been taught

Verse 1         You can't keep me in      I will never stay     Release your jagged grip      It will happen that way    (chords continue for 1 line)     Yes, it will happen that way Verse 2     I will shove and budge     Right past the other ones     Down that hall of mirrors     Staring into the sun    (chords continue for 1 line)     Yes, staring into the sun Chorus     So tell me please     What is your remedy     To release me from this freeze     I feel that I have tried everything     But now it's time to stop Verse 3         Just need a breath of air     Or a glimpse of light     To get my mind prepared     For this final flight    (chords continue for 1 line)     Yes, for this final flight Verse 4 There is no time to waste No not another try Release this emptiness With one final pry (chords continue for 1 line) Yes, with one final pry Chorus     So tell me please     What is your remedy     To release me from this freeze     I feel that I have tried everything     But now it's time to stop Outro     It's time to stop     It's time to stop     It's time to stop     It's time to stop     It's time to stop

Zipper
Plastic lights and seat belts Orange milk fingernails Laughing just like you meant it Whatever you do must sell People will think that you're hostile If you don't smile at a crime And approach the commiter asking Would you like lemon or lime

Work
Nothing is what it is The emptiness of it all Vast, numbered, varied All encompassing It surrounds and it chokes Life much like death Light much like dark So bitterly indifferent
