Stay a while, Don’t be shy, you’ve caught my eye, It’s no surprise
Trust my smile, I’ve got nothing to hide
Take my hand, I will promise to be kind and you'll find
That I’m worth your while, so open Your mind
I no longer want to hide behind my disguise
I’ll make you extraordinary, pretty and desired
I’ll take you places no one’s been, you’ll go higher and higher
I’ll give you power and a crown that others will admire
You’ll be my pawn, you’ll spread my word, a voice in my choir
Here we are, side by side and two as one, how far we’ve come
Trust your smile, ‘cause you’ve got nothing to hide
No regrets, you are with me ‘til the end, don’t pretend
Open your mind while I take what’s mine
I can’t help but stay here under your disguise
I made you extraordinary, pretty and desired
I took you places no one’s been, we went higher and higher
I gave you power and a crown that others had admired
You are my pawn, you spread my word; a voice in my choir
Open Your eyes
There are no goodbyes
Mine forever
You can’t unravel what’s entwined
Bound together
My thoughts are whispers in your mind
Mine forever
You can’t unravel what’s entwined
Bound together
My thoughts are whispers in your mind

The world is burning
But you must write
People are starving
But you must write
The world is burning
But you must write
Don’t wanna create
Is that all right? (No)
It's hard to find the time to write
When there are people not living through the night
I know I’m lucky to have my rights
Some simply don’t have that privilege
But that thought creates survivor’s guilt
Over blood I’ve never seen spilt
Don’t need to see bodies made
Over land we were never meant to claim
But you must write
(No)
But you must write
But you must write
(No)
I can't erase these thoughts
My mind could never be bought
I’m fraught with the need to help
Don’t know how to deal with myself
I have to figure something out
Can’t get consumed with self doubt
I have to be worth the amount
Of this world’s immense body count
I try to be strong
But I’m afraid I’ve become too numb to see
It gets harder to have real hope
With all this horror and misery
I don’t know how to help
But I know this is not how it should be
We all choose our own path
So I have to choose mine
I hope to inspire others
Through all of these lines
The world is burning
But you must write
People are starving
But you must write
The world is burning
But you must write
Is it ok to create?
The world is burning
But you must write
People are starving
But you must write
The world is burning
But you must write
Don’t wanna create
Is that all right?
I feel like I’m going crazy
Every day makes me hazy
So I try to stay busy
My head is reeling
Staring at the ceiling
Trying to do some healing
But it’s too revealing
I can’t escape the fate to create
I can’t escape the fate to create
It’s not up for debate
I will channel this hate
It’s not up for debate
I have to be great
I used to be scared of hope
I guess it was how I coped
With being at End of my rope
And praying I wouldn’t choke
I need to accept the fact
Life can get better than that
I don’t have to keep looking back
I can focus on fixing those cracks
I’m gonna keep pushing, I know I can
I’m better now, so I understand
Can’t give up now, that is a demand
Never stop creating, that is my plan
The world is burning
You must write
People are starving
You must write
The world is burning
You must write
Is it ok to create?
The world is burning
You must write
People are starving
You must write
The world is burning
You must write
You need to create

Can’t you wait?
The night’s still not over
You don’t have, to leave so fast
To let our moment pass
Close the door,
Nothing waits in the hallway
The outside will forever be
All so foreign, so unreal
When you will forget, all of your
Searching, yearning, breaking free
There will be, only me
Can’t you stay?
Hold a little longer
I beg you, take a chance and see
How our time could truly be
When you will forget, all of your
(you will forget)
Searching, yearning, breaking free (free)
There will be, only me
When you will abandon, all of your
(you will forget)
Day-dreams, wishful fantasies (fantasies)
You will see, only me
When you will forget, your
(you will forget)
Searching, yearning, breaking free (free)
There will be, only me
When you will abandon, all of your
(you will forget)
Day-dreams, wishful fantasies (fantasies)
Only me

When, when I lose control
I can see it all
Break the wall
Oh, only when I fall
I escape my thrall
Hear the call

On and on and on we walk
Into the roaring silence
On and on we test the clock
Blurring out the sirens
On and on you blame the gods
Victimized, defenseless
On and on we’re brought to shame
And bare the consequences
Carved deep into the earth
The tale’s recorded
The cenozoic truth
Won’t be inverted
On and on and on we fall
Oblivious to the warnings
On and on we lose control
And forward we keep marching
On and on we’re led astray
In the name of power
On and on we look away
And let the flames devour
Collective
Intelligence
Concerted
Ignorance
Collective
Intelligence
Corporate
Arrogance
Carved deep into the rock
Engraved forever
The cenozoic truth,
our tomb, a warning letter
The earth will remember
