The Audience

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm the lie you use
When surrounded by snakes and talking sharks
Be mindful the words you choose
Their eyes reflecting with purpose, calling
"Welcome to the feast"
Will you follow their actions and play games
And as they step will you repeat formalities
Thieves of our time
Watch as they rape your integrity
March as the beat suggests
Time ticks forward, towards the bottom of undoing all that I
Once loved come take your piece of me, blood or bone
No matter, I'll still be here when you're
Don't cross the story you were always a maybe
Here there are no absolutes
Oh used and abused now left for show
They laugh from their perch to let you know
There's no letting go
Thieves of our time
Watch as they rape your integrity
March as the beat suggests
Time ticks forward, towards the bottom of undoing all that I
Once loved come take your piece of me, blood or bone
No matter, I'll still be here when you're
Done
Be here when you're
Done
Be here when you're
Done
This is my audience
Forever one together
Burning Stars
Cut from the same disease
Ever longing, what and who we are
This is the story of a boy who lost his way and found the fire
Awestruck, his courage lost
Damaged goods, a trust now long retired
This is my audience
Forever one together
Burning Stars
Cut from the same disease
Ever longing, what and who we are
Take all matters into your own hands
Let them play with the coward you can't command
Now you're just a memory
Of humanity
(The audience, I will show all of myself)
This is my audience
Forever one together
Burning Stars
Cut from the same disease
Ever longing, what and who we are
This is my audience
Forever one together
Burning Stars
Cut from the same disease
Ever longing, what and who we are
