Gatekeeping's not very punk rock of you Elitism will never make you cool Didn't you learn back in school? Don't you ever learn? Treatin' folks the way that you do Only gets you burned Whether that's at the stake Or just out of my life Depends on the century, but you're dead to me I'm alright (Are you okay?) I'm alright (Are you okay?) Transmedical doctrine doesn't make you more real I don't owe explanations for what I've had to steal Didn't you learn back when those risks were stacked Don't you ever learn? Treatin' folks the way that you do Only gets you burned Whether that's at the stake Or just out of my life Depends on the century, but you're dead to me I'm alright (Are you okay?) I'm alright (Are you okay?)

I don't know how to write about the good things in my life But tonight I'm gonna try and see the light It's easier to write about the things that bring me down But inside your love I'm so happy that I might drown But tonight I feel so God damn alive This happiness inside of my mind Maybe that makes me a fool But at least I'm a fool for you Told myself I'd never write a love song Used to think they were cheesy but ya know what I was wrong If I can show you how much you mean to me Wield the pen and paper until I bleed But tonight I feel so God damn alive This happiness inside of my mind Maybe that makes me a fool But at least I'm a fool for you Used to think I'd never feel this way Not again after all the shit that people say But then I had a dream that made me feel so alive Dream of always having you in my life But tonight I feel so God damn alive This happiness inside of my mind Maybe that makes me a fool But at least I'm a fool for you

I think I'm not okay but I have been for awhile Cause when I don't feel like death I don't know what to do with myself Spent so much time just fighting to stay alive So what do I do when I finally feel okay inside This peace is melancholy But I am alright Fighting for a melody But the words just don't come to me Anymore Art of depression leaves you empty when it's gone Time to rebuild all the things I love Scars are healing but the itch is not Not scared to go outside but the thought still crossed my mind It's so hard to relate with no rain in my sight This peace is melancholy But I am alright Fighting for a melody But the words just don't come to me Anymore

Puppet on a global stage Disregarding the day and age Pushing our allies away Putting citizens in harm's way Destroy the media Disarm the press I'm your only source For alternative facts There's no executive order I can sign to save the border Children cry because of me I'm the boogie man separating families Kill the poor Defund the ill And we'll destroy the world From upon Capitol Hill We all know I'll never go to jail Pardon myself or just post my bail I'll get away and be just fine I'll appoint my own judge in time Burn the earth Strangle and pollute If that doesn't work We've always got the nukes Make America fake again Make America hate again Make America great again Let's behead the fucking king again

It's time we get moody again I'm fed up with everything History don't repeat but it rhymes It ends the same way every time It's not okay, the world's broke But if we can share just one more toke And remember the days we were awoken Perhaps we all wouldn't feel so broken I know what's wrong, I understand There's an infestation in my Homeland Xenophobes and religious freaks Who all claim to know what's best for me It's not okay, the world's broke But if we can share just one more toke And remember the days we were awoken Perhaps we all wouldn't feel so broken Maybe this time something will stick If we could just help the sick Or initiate cultural shift Away from ever adrift It's not okay, the world's broke But if we can share just one more toke And remember the days we were awoken Perhaps we all wouldn't feel so broken Profits and prophets Should not be our concern People need to know They're worth more than what they earn It's not okay, the world's broke But if we can share just one more toke And remember the days we were awoken Perhaps we wouldn't all feel so broken

Corporate licensed island in the endless concrete sea Visions of the past reveal themselves to me Steal from those who stole from you, Your dreams and love Style, and youth I'm lookin' for a corporation To pay for some alterations I'd like an operation or two And hoping dental gets covered too I'm sure most of us have considered a sugar lover But in business you're still getting under covers Steal from those who stole from you, Your dreams and love Style, and youth I'm lookin' for a corporation To pay for some alterations I'd like an operation or two And hoping dental gets covered too Steal from those who stole from you, Your dreams and love Style, and youth I'm lookin' for a corporation To pay for some alterations I'd like an operation or two And hoping dental gets covered too

I cannot be all you want me to be All I got is this fill of anxiety All of these medications are inside of me Cocktail of the strange variety Panic attack am I running away? No I'm fawning and doing whatever you say Nevermind, it's fine -Insanity Can't believe this is happening anyway Wanna sing Wanna speak Wanna breath Wanna be Cannot sing Cannot speak Cannot breath -from anxiety

Hey baby you're so beautiful Let's go pepper spray a cop We could kiss in the ruins of Capitalistic rot But "wait —wait a minute" I hear you say "It's a much more complex subject, You can't just take them away!" Guns don't kill people But lots of people are killed by guns "It's a hobby", "it's for sport" they say It's all just meant for fun! Billionaires bought bureaucratic boons for their bougousie goons -beat us down with their boys in blue I'm not here you tell you what to do but I see a class war coming soon Class war is coming soon Class war is coming soon Class war is coming soon Class war -not me and you

I don't wanna be famous I don't wanna be a rockstar Really hoping that I don't go far, sub par Broken dreams and a broken heart We all wanna be miserable Future's not discernable Dig me a matching hole Deeper deeper down we go (Deeper down we go) I don't wanna succeed I'll only succumb to the greed Sit there and watch me Change is impossible, see? We all wanna be miserable CD on the turntable CD is not passable opinions are not factual (they're not factual) Please let me out Desert oasis Pouring drought I'm so sorry I disobeyed Please corporate master, I'll behave We all wanna be miserable Put me on the table Pushing for scraps to get by My parents said this is the life (This is the life) Check check Bounce bounce Return fees come pouring down The only remaining symbol of love Discarded in a box Frozen in the car I cannot watch

I'm looking for my Chance to be Anything at all But who will I see Chasing home With friends, alone Sitting down Spinning around Okay now ready go I can't seem to let go Of the old idea of me With whom I don't agree Chasing home Alone, afraid Growing drone Intake and fade What am I looking for? Fuck if I ever knew I'm trying to be somebody for me -not for you Internal scream Eternity Roam Now I'll be Chasing home
