I Don't Want to Believe

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

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

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

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

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

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

Watching, Waiting

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
