The Mandate,
released September 25, 2020
Life will never be the same
The need for progress is clear
All this time the tangible was shifting out of mind
Can’t see your face
Suddenly I’m paralyzed
Somehow I feel that I let you down
When you needed me to be the backbone
I just ran off to be alone
Existing beside the corruption
Sensing my veil is growing weak
Eccentric salesman try to rope me into their games
Of selling innocence to those who can't remember
A pretense, visions of a following
A pretense to deceit that we have earned
Realign, redefine, redesign, recombine
Hollow bodies, it's all renewed
Containment
Being sold as the cure
Everything is pure
I want it desperately, the belief that we’ll stand above it all
And we’ve adapted to the overwhelming disconnect from what makes us human
Realign, redefine, redesign, recombine
Recollections of before
Always see you wanting more
Bittersweetly underneath
All the fears that are released
Recollections of the times
That I knew you
