its embarrassing they've been watching us this whole time behave like children or worse children have empathy who can blame them for keeping distance i wouldn't want to know us either and if i could id leave right now i'd leave yesterday people have come so far in what direction we were walking in a circle going round and round, round and round towards destruction its undeniable empires rise then fall over and over again

The Cave 03:18
I’m going crazy Trying to wrap my head around The true nature of Our reality Could it really be Everything we feel Everything we see, everything we hear Is shadows in a cave If we’re prisoners Is there someone outside If we’re prisoners Why I wanna see outside I wanna go outside Everything we see, everything we hear Is shadows in a cave

Communion 04:10
helpless with fear something is here White flash of light paralyzed they're floating around i can't make a sound can't call for help please not again please let me be all i want is peace too scared to sleep (again) please let me be eyes round and black there's no going back knowing they're here don’t know why they’re here I don’t trust myself Living through hell I feel small and weak Why is it me

Signs 04:08
We found some circles Out in the cornfields I don’t hear my children Playing It’s on every station There’s no explanation I don’t believe In Aliens Merril used to play baseball A bat up on the wall Felt wrong not to Swing I saw on the TV It was a birthday party It was terrifying And Green I don’t believe anymore Since my love was hit by a car Some people see signs I only feel anger It’s an invasion Get down to the basement Forgot his inhaler They’re here (Remembered her last words) Upstairs my daughter Left out some water Then in a scuffle It was all clear I didn’t believe anymore Since our love was hit by a car Some people see signs Maybe they're not wrong

Tic Tac 04:53
There are aliens on TV and no one blinked Just scroll until you find something less terrifying We’re supposed to go to work and still pay our rent Can’t think of anything but those aliens on TV Did nothing change, do we still need to pay Our taxes Every day that goes by, feels a little Less grounded Does an ant feel small knowing he’s under our feet Goes about his business making sure there’s enough to eat Does he worry at the thought of all the things he doesn’t know Does he spend his day wondering why we haven’t said hello I’d like see them for myself, remove all doubt I’d like to know where they’re from, I’d like to ask them, why now I’d like to shake a hand, I’d like to meet them face to face I’d like to understand what’s beyond time and space

Angel, Angel of Death Opened up gates of hell Marjorie or Babylon Bring about the end of time Genius Buffoon Hurled us to the moon Black magick masturbation Blew hisself up in the basement Every ending, is the start of something else (new) May be Heaven May be Hell
7.
Disclosure 03:40
Lie after lie after lie Sew mistrust by design Is it fear, is it greed Don’t know what to believe Cynical Too much time by myself Questioning Everything Day after day after day Spectacle eroding faith Could it be what they hide Is stranger even than the lies The more things change The more they stay the same Questioning everything
8.
Watching the skies Haven’t seen anything unexplained Watching clouds go by Day after day after day It’s nice just to be outside Watching fireflies after the rain Look up at night Not in vain, not in vain, I was out last night I looked up from my phone So many stars in the sky Hard to believe, Hard to believe, we’re all alone

about

UFOs are real?

They might be extra terrestrials, or inter-dimensional, or extra-temporal, or even angels and or demons. Maybe (probably?) they've been here all along, wondering if we'll ever pull our heads out of our asses. Maybe it's all just a CIA Psy-OP.

Fall down the rabbit hole just a little bit with me.
