about
New song recorded in collaboration with Noel Heroux of Hooray For Earth // Mass Gothic.
A little something to honor the longing for freedom within and without.
lyrics
he wants to let the world die
put himself on a space ship
he gets that gleam in his eye
says we just gotta face it
his god is the dollar
he thinks he'll be chosen
one of the fortunate few
while we're burned or frozen
recklessly righteous
in his foolish facade
calling the devil
and asking for god
sadly mistaken
and slowly he drowns
and with him we go
like a jewel in his crown
take it off
take it off
you're not my king
take it off
he wants to let the world die
along with his demons
a prison of fear
forms the base of his reason
he's given whatever
his delusions can dream
all sculpted of plastic
covered in cream
take it off...
all out leaders are locked up
silenced or bought
there's a leader within though
who hasn't been caught
there are lessons in history
there is truth in the rot
we all have the option
take it or not
he wants to let the world die
he feels so forsaken
he doesn't realize
the gift that he's taken
never will make for
more than a token
lost and alone
his philosophy broken
take it off...
it's hard to believe when we've gone so wrong
to believe in the spirit when the guns are drawn
