This is an open letter to future historians Let your voice be heard, feel free to chime in Just sign your name on the dotted line And don't forget to comment, like and subscribe We’re socialites living in a dark and heavy gloom Hangin' on by a thread, instead of playing dead It’s weighing on me, passed down and out like an heirloom Never zip your lips or listen to another talking head There’s no redeeming demons, they’re scheming Distracting you while profiteering, that’s sus Conjuring violence, demanding compliance, tryin to silence our screaming Suppress protests, resist progress, you get the gist, they’re disappearing us We’re socialites living in a dark and heavy gloom Hangin' on by a thread, instead of playing dead It’s weighing on me, passed down and out like an heirloom Never zip your lips or listen to another talking head In these strange and uncertain times It’s heads you win and tails I lose Unprecedented deception, infected election, project and deflect away obvious crimes Well pardon me, this ain't partisan, so stop schmoozin' about our abuse Call me a sheep, that’s a cheapshot Count on me to be wide awake while you’re asleep I heard we’re nothing more than fodder, but some would kill to be livestock They’ll lead you straight to the slaughter, without a single peep We interrupt this broadcast to bring you courage Previously on this place in time, your “culture’s” canceled, so tune in next season, I'm tired of reruns And Insincere reboots, they pull on nonexistent straps, we gotta clear the air No reason to appease 'em, these low lives committing high treason They may make light of this but we’ll make history for sure Keep yourself in the dark, ignoring the canary in the coal mine Just drop me a line, but wait, what’s that? Where’s your source? Go ahead, unleash your rage, trapped in a cage It’s apparent you’re a parrot, no surprise I hate to break it to ya, shatter your echo chamber Try to pick of the pieces, but there's no justice no peace and I can't breathe We’re socialites living in a dark and heavy gloom We’ll never zip your lips or listen to another talking head

I found out a multitude of things about myself this year But you don't wanna know the shit that I found out there's really no point, in breathing in that atmosphere But you don't fucking hear me do ya? I found out a little thing or two about the world this year See I'm convinced were on the brink of Pure extinction, but their kicking off their shoes and smiling ear to ear No I don't fucking get it My friends suggest I see a therapist lest ill be missed any day now But all I hear is blah blah blah and yadda yadda yeah Distance yourself from me, I ain't tryna lose you its just most likely Inevitable So distance yourself from me, I'm losing my grip on reality My fears are inevitable It's hard to grasp that all the power players they don't want us here Well go ahead and try it They kidnap kids from the border...and be like "They disappeared" Well we don’t fucking buy it I found out....wait... Are you browning out?...shit I guess I'm talkin to myself again. Like blah blah blah, and yadda yadda yeah Distance yourself from me, Even if I lose you it was most likely Inevitable So distance yourself from me, I'm ready to take on reality A change is inevitable

The question isn't where, it’s when And can we start over again, start over again, or at least put things to an end? So how can you have time when it clearly has you? how can you have time when it clearly has you? What we know is but a drop What we don't know is an ocean Pain is our ship And desire, is our compass Most people are nothing more but pawns on a chessboard led by an unknown hand I refuse to wander through this wasteland or navigate us through this this labyrinth until my death You and I are perfect for each other Never believe anything else Never believe anything else What we know is a drop What we don't know is an ocean Pain is our ship Desire, is our compass I’ve reflected on this moment for many years When my fears were brought to the surface if you gaze long enough into the Abyss the Abyss also gazes into you The paradise we were promised is nothing but a lie It's nothing but a lie It’s nothing but a lie What we know is but a drop What we don't know is an ocean Pain is our ship And desire, is our compass What we know is a drop And the rest is an ocean Pain is our ship Desire our compass, we can't stop goin through the motions I’ve reflected on this moment for many years When my fears were brought to the surface

So what's it gonna be Are you in or out? I think I just might lose my temper So what's it gonna be Are you in or out? I think I just might lose my temper I called a cab to take me down to the docks So far so good It’s smooth sailing Stay calm observe They say there's nothing to see here You say its ambitious And unrealistic But we don't have a choice Cuz we cant resist it I called a cab The flashing lights Flicker in the rear view mirror Instilling fear I'm Caught between the devil and the deep blue sea I felt my heart drop My eyes are blood shot So how's it gonna be Are you in or out? I swear I’m gonna lose my temper You say its ambitious And unrealistic But we don't have a choice Cuz we cant resist it So pick it up, pick it up now Carry the banner of your oppressor It doesn't matter if you're left or right or center To them we're all the same Who knew that a smoking gun could be so much fun? We're in over our heads and down in the doldrums There's no crime in living There's no crime in living You say it’s ambitious And unrealistic But we don't have a choice Cuz we cant resist it I called a cab By default we're all suspects There's a bounty our heads So all hands on deck The sirens are screaming, please tell me I'm dreaming Crashing down like waves, no one is safe There's no crime in living

I've been feeling a bit under the weather Taking sips from this storm in a teacup Trying my best to finally get it together Can't be caught off guard when inertia creeps up This year took a turn for the worst *echo the worst* It's enough to make your head spin Fairweather friends throw caution to the wind Stealing our thunder and drowning in sin We’re tired of chasing rainbows and hearing fairytales Our hearts have outgrown this, Our reason will prevail We've got our work cut out for us Running with scissors might not be the best plan So speak up if you have the guts And let's return to the conversation at hand Another demagogue won't get the job done Filled to the brim with empty rhetoric I've gotta axe to grind, I gotta hand it to 'em Will they bail us out or go down with the ship? Fairweather friends throw caution to the wind Stealing our thunder and drowning in sin We're tired of chasing rainbows and hearing fairytales Our hearts have outgrown this, Our reason will prevail Can't see through the fog of war it's obvious they planned it While they pacify the masses, I pray this ain't our last chance This year took a turn for the worst It's enough to make your head spin I lost count trying to reach Cloud nine Crossing my fingers that we'll all be just fine I saved this song for a rainy day Still dreaming of a brighter future without delay We're tail spinning into a state of decay This is sick, I'm over it, this isn't the way Fairweather friends throw caution to the wind Stealing our thunder and drowning in sin We're tired of chasing rainbows and hearing fairytales Our hearts have outgrown this, Our reason will prevail Can't see through the fog of war it's obvious they planned it While they pacify the masses, I pray this ain't our last chance We've gotta make some progress If not we're gonna force it, Coriolis
