Who is the common enemy?
We can piece this out
You fill one hand with fortune
And then you fill the other one with doubt
I can see you all stand at attention
Holding our your sympathy
Until the moment that you have an affliction
Begging on your hands and knees
You always want it
You always want it before
You always want it before
Before it's ready
It never happens to anyone else
Until it's at your front door
Then you fill your fortune with handouts
Anything that's mine is yours
I can see you all stand at attention
Holding our your sympathy
Until the moment that you have an affliction
Begging on your hands and knees
You always want it
You always want it before
You always want it before
Before it's ready

You are responsible
For all the damage you've done
You are a wanted man
You're not my favorite son

Trick

What's in your head now?
Don't look over your shoulder
Try to Breathe
Try to Breathe
Are you haunted by the sun?
Did you run the gauntlet
And bleed everyone?
What's in your head now?
Look towards the Horizon
What a scene
What a scene
Are you hallowed by the sun?
Would you join me in the shallows
If you're invited to come?
You are invited to come
I don't think that half of you quite understand
That I'm half a child and half a man
Everyone gets one way tickets to the show
But I'm afraid only half of you get to go
Look towards the horizon
Try to breathe
You don't have to see
- trust in me -
to believe
So put on your armor
Three inches thick
And prepare yourselves for my latest trick

In the summer it was war
My head was full of bees
The air with thick with metaphor
We don't want your thoughts and prayers anymore

Monuments and Flags

You never have to worry
You know it's not that bad
When you're the one to raise
All the monuments and flags
In perfect isolation
Imperfect sympathy
Express which situation one
Should spend on bended knee
But in the light of day
You can watch them turn to stone
And crumble back into the land
Built of stick and bone
In all these conversations
With every single word
Amplifying voices
That are dying to be heard
- (break)
Still this Strangest fruit
Keeps growing on our trees
If we cut it from the root
Can we manage the disease
Imperfect isolation
Imperfect sympathy
Connected at the joint
That defines a bended knee
And it's okay to walk
Walk straight into the shame
Just make sure that you don't come out
The other side unscathed
In all these conversations
With every single word
Amplifying voices
That are dying to be heard
- (break)
You never have to worry
You know it's not that bad
When you're the one to raise
All the monuments and flags

Sleep tight, sleep tight tonight
Every thing is going to be fine
Sleep tight, sleep tight tonight
We've got you covered
Hold tight, hold tight tonight
We may be in for a bit of a ride
Hold tight, hold tight tonight
In this darkest hour
Sleep tight, sleep tight tonight
Every thing is going to be fine
Hold tight, hold tight tonight
In this darkest hour

Lyrics:
Second in line for the first
Driving the knife inside
To make you writhe
Stuck inside crying my lights out
With the wife right beside
She’s ride or die
Trying to rely on the rights denied
For this faithless fight
Awaiting night
Share a small smile for the blue and white
Issues on the side
The boys are alright
Leaving aside all the lives defiled
While the races fight
It’s just outside
Had a good time while run was mine
Now let’s set it all aside
And pretend like we’re nice
I won’t give up my upper hand
…arrogance
…only chance
…dumb demands
Speech:
We are gathered here today
Not out of some obligation to our disparate pasts
But in honor of our collective possibility
The shackles of our antiquity have been broken
And we are duty-bound to march forward
Arm in arm as a single unit
Fearless in our resolve
To conquer the unknown
We are the creators of history
Let our actions be a guidepost to the generations that follow
Let them know that we did not shirk our responsibility
That we molded this present moment out of respect for our future
(You're doomed, get away)
This like-minded brotherhood stands at the precipice of greatness
Through diligence and merciless action
Our momentum shall not fall prey to entropy
Those that do not wish to join us
Are welcome to be witnesses to our becoming
But make no mistake - WE WILL PREVAIL!!
Our destiny is inexorably intertwined with the soil
On which we now stand
From our initial emergence - until this very moment - this land has suffered violence
And the violent take it by force
Progress, freedom and universal enfranchisement!
This is our mission.
Dissenters be warned
And do not stand as obstacles on the path of THIS providence.
