Thrash the West
Verse 1
When your rolling helpless in the dark pleading to an empty crowd
When your seeing their hells in place of stars and the silencer’s are pushing you down
I will live on embedded in this sound
Playing in loop keep your cool
Keep your calm
Chorus 1
Well Hey-e-yay
I know your selfless, classless, careless and charmed
Your beliefs, Your reasons, Your heart
Your everything everybody wants
Well Hey-e-yay
I know your selfless , fearless, shameless, unsung
Your madness, beauty ,your mind
Your everything everybody taunts
Verse 2
When you go slow dancing in your house
Do you ever wonder who’s looking in
You sure seem to loose yourself
Don't we all love to play pretend
Well I know your type
The kind that loves too much
When you get to know yourself
In the end was it who you are?
Chorus 2
Well, how sweet sweet oh sweet it was before the west collapsed
Oh how sweet how sweet it was but the con could never last
The dream they taught you young when old didn’t stand a chance
Karma , pain lead us here
Karma came and bit us in the ass
But this house of cards was always bound to collapse
Verse 3
Long before I had you
I new life was a fragile force
Unacknowledged I walk home used
Outside the rage of Saint Joan
The fiction lives on
With Caesar in the round their kingdoms long gone
He jesters laugh it off , so smug
Chorus 3
Hey Hey we had it all
Anger, beauty and art
We were our own rulers here
But it backfired for us all
How sweet sweet oh sweet it was before the great collapse
Karma , pain lead us here-karma came and bit us in the ass
This fourth industrial future lay in the hands of the tech god-less
