The Swarm

I can feel it
In my body
It is vulgar
Growing like an ulcer
Taking over
In my body
Cells are fighting
Cells are dying
I don’t when, I don’t know where
When will it strike and, spread through the air
A matter of time, is what it is
A growing worry, not knowing is bliss
It is floating
In the air yes
It is airborne
Floating like a virus
Slowly moving
And mutating
I can speak now
Says the virus
Hello it’s me, the virus you hate
Stopping your life and altering fate
Cough like the flu, but that’s not me
I’m something new and, more deadly
I reproduce, got short fuse
In your lungs, we’re the ones
Make you sick, make you slow
Virus feeds, virus grows
I can feel it
In my body
Multiplying
And I don’t want that
Keep suppressing
And harassing
Let’s kill of that
Nasty virus
I have to wait, for a vaccine
Who’ll kill you off to, never be seen
Until then I wait, keeping my cool
Keeping my distance, abiding the rules
I multiply, on the fly
Breed new strains, will remain
Make you sick, make you slow
Here to stay, will not go
Gotta learn to live with

All in Me
04:17

Who’d ever thought, that what we got
Is so pristine oh we’re fragile beings
Wearing mirrors wherever we go
Pre-selected what they show
Robbing us of visions past
What we know, and thus ignorance grows
It gets harder to stand in your shoes
Though it’s what we must maintain to do
It’s all in me, it’s all in me
How can I navigate through smoke and mirrors
Every day there’s something new that’ll kill us
And it’s true, I’m blessed to say
Complain and moan anyway
Who’d ever thought, that what we got
Is so pristine oh we’re fragile beings
It’s safe to say, we don’t know the way
Out of here, we’re in neutral gear
Rolling slowly off the hill
To reduce our nitrogen bill
It gets harder to stand in your shoes
When you're supposed to win not lose
It’s all in me, it’s all in me
I try to find a healthy way
To stay awake, day by day
And it’s true, oh, I’m blessed to say
Complain and moan anyway
But it’s up to us to save the day

Untethered

Pull me back in
I float on the brink
And I feel untethered
And I feel untethered
So don’t leave me out
Afloat and about
And I feel untethered
And I feel untethered
I see houses with lights on
And curtains closed
An open door is what I
Miss the most
Put my feet back on the ground
Where they belong
Connect with me before,
I’m too far gone
And I don’t want to be
A drama queen
Black sheep of the faculty
Nostalgia is my enemy
And hindering my ability to just be
So don’t leave me out
Afloat and about
And I feel untethered
And I feel untethered
I see houses with lights on
And curtains closed
An open door is what I
Miss the most
Put my feet back on the ground
Where they belong
Connect with me before,
I’m too far gone
I see houses with lights on
And curtains closed
An open door is what I
Miss the most
Put my feet back on the ground
Where they belong
Connect with me before,
I’m too far gone

The Volume Rat
04:35
|

Hot damn, there goes the sound again
Red light, indicating too much noise
What’s that, coming out the speaker set
Too loud, all the volume coming out
We all know who’s busy dialing in that tone
Stacking up the numbers
It’s a recurring volume problem
And it’s messing up our balance
And the fool that’s been changing our dials
Has been the same for a while
It’s the volume rat
Messing up our sound
With his rat-like mouth
Chewing up that sound
Cheese wheels, are his favorite snack
And he, where’s a funny hat
He likes, turning up the noise
He bites, when he has no choice
We all know who’s busy dialing in that tone
Stacking up the numbers
It’s a recurring volume problem
And it’s messing up our balance
And the fool that’s been changing our dials
Has been the same for a while
It’s the volume rat
Messing up our sound
With his rat-like mouth
There he goes
We better catch that mouse
It’s the volume rat
Messing up our sound
With his rat-like mouth
Chewing up that sound

Passing Through
04:17
|

I’ve got a funny feeling in my bones, feeling kinda slow, kinda slow
I’ve seen people all around me here come and go, where do they go?
Up and down, all around, here and there, or maybe everywhere
I’ve got a funny feeling in my bones, and I want to know, where do we go?
Whatever’s written down
If we're gone or if we’re still around
We’re only passing through, only passing through
If your mark is big or small
Or if you don’t leave one at all
We’re only passing through, only passing through
They say time here is short so we make the most, before we go
Passed on, dead, buried, back in the ground or so, we are told
Whatever’s written down
If were gone or if we’re still around
We’re only passing through, only passing through
If your mark is big or small
Or if you don’t leave one at all
We’re only passing through, only passing through
We’re only passing through now x4
So, every choice I make, I’ve got this voice that says make the most, before you go
I’ve got a funny feeling in my bones and I want to know, what’s the most?
Whatever’s written down
If we're gone or if we're still around
We’re only passing through, only passing through
If your mark is big or small
Or if you don’t leave one at all
We’re only passing through now x4

All in Me (Reprise)
08:38
|

All aboard, we have reached an accord
To move forward, it might just cost a few lives
But we’ll come out of this alive, we had a pretty rough time
Here’s to hope, that we can cope
With whatever’s going to come
Birds of a feather flock together
It’s safe to say we’ll be okay, we’ve faced worse than this
Just hold onto my hand, we’ll go together across the bend
But brace yourself, we’re not out of this yet
Oh now how are we going to fight this madness?
When all we seem to care about is who’s the fastest
Gains must triple, though losses occur
Anything goes as long as wealth is procured
Who’d ever thought, that what we got
Without proper care is easily lost
We might destroy, but we can cure
If we’re ready to make a stir
It’s all in me, it’s all in me
It’s all in me
