Atlas

Now I know how Atlas feels
Walking around on Achilles heals
Endeavor his gratitude of latitude, longitude
The knapsack of the world
Can you feel it?
With the weight of the world crashing down
With the weight of the world crushing down

Take a bite, it won’t hurt my friend
The serpent said in the times of Eden
She took a bite and that’s the end
Now we’re living in a world of sin
All because of what woman did
That is not fair
Now we wallow in our misery of shame and guilt
Not knowing what’s ahead of us
We’re not sure what we’re supposed to do
Only doing what others tell us to
We live and die, give or take a few and that is it
Oh bright one
He had the world at his fingertips
A king of kings in the land of Rome
He let the power get to his head
Others wished that he was dead
A few daggers and his blood was shed into the streets
Oh bright one
So let’s compare ideologies
You may disagree but it’s plain and simple
Their selfish acts affected how we live
All because of what one person did
We all suffer from the consequence
So tell me where the hell is that fair?
Oh bright one

Keep them amused with dirt and grass
Keep them safe and on display behind glass
Sit and wonder, watch them plot out their escape
They’re going nowhere soon
Watch them try to run but they won’t get that far
Watch them try to fly but they’re trapped in a jar
Watch them try
Watch them fly
Keep them amused with dirt and grass
I’m intrigued for now but it shows that it won’t last
I’m growing tired but I’m not bored with them just yet
‘Til then I’ll leave them to sit there ‘til they’re gone
Watch them try
Watch them fly

Charlie could have flown
Charlie could have been a king of kings
Charlie clipped his wings
Charlie is ashamed
….for his sinnin’
Charlie is ashamed, uh huh
Sarah was a bright one
She promised him everything
She surely cut him down
So she is to blame
Sara is to blame for his sins
Sara is to blame
It don’t matter anymore
She’s gonna fly away
Charlie is ashamed for his sinnin’
Sara is to blame

It’s gonna make you
It’s gonna break you
It’s gonna take you somewhere you’ve never been
You’re gonna fight it
You’re gonna hate it
Next thing you know you’re entranced in a spin
And you think to yourself
Yeah you’ll think to yourself
Is it worth it?
Every second, every minute, every hour, every day of the week, of the year?
My frame of mind is not a good one but it feels alright
My frame of mind….
Why try to hide it,
when everyone knows it?
Open the door, let your old pal in
The remedy is laughing
Laughing and bragging
And he says ‘you’re foot’s on the wagon honey, you ain’t ever coming home!’
‘Cause you thought to yourself
Yeah, you thought to yourself
And it’s worth it
You’ll lose everything and everyone that you’ve ever cared about
but it doesn’t matter as long as you’re happy in the end..
Right?
My frame of mind is not a good one but it feels alright
My frame of mind….

Death Gives Birth
05:46

A prison cell, the former me decomposing quietly
The playwright for humanity is death gives birth to new
Inside the clock, we are the gears elegantly spinning throughout the years
Never speaking a familiar fear, afraid of knowing true
Ashes dust to dust
….and then we all fall down
It doesn’t matter gender, race. Death does not discriminate
We all must face uncertain fate, some just far too soon
When it’s time to lay me down, bury me in sacred ground
All my answers will be found, while resting in a tomb
Ashes dust to dust
….and then we all fall down
A prison cell, the former me decomposing quietly
The playwright for humanity is death gives birth to new
ain’t it fucking lovely?

Carry your burdens over your shoulders
You live and let live until you get older
You’re scaling the mountains, climbing trees
Coming out the other end, kneeling and begging please

You’re more than just heaven-sent
And all my time with you is spent
I guess I can count on you, babe
To comfort and hold me should I
….fall
You wear me out
You’re more than just heaven-sent
I guess my bliss was ignorance
I never could count on you then
To cradle and catch me should I
….fall
You wear me out
