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
