Lyrics
Who’s world is this?
This world is mine
Middle of the night
Wake up with a smile
Don't know it’s midnight
Don’t know I’m young
Don’t know I’m Smart Now
Soon to be dumb
Don’t see the issue
Playing with sticks
Soon comes the fire
Then comes the risk
Then comes
The burning precipice abyss
As my skin loses hair
And my brain grows thick
Crawl out of bed now
Switch lights on
Suddenly the beauty of the moonlight’s gone
Open up the doors as I walk outside
Kicking all the critters and the crickets to the side
Who’s world is this?
This world is mine
Maybe I should make it into my design
Open up the blinds, fix up the drapes
Manipulating sunlight into my shapes
Afternoon
Energy’s here
Self-aware, unaware
Lost without fear
Hardware Software
Warfare, Hate
Preying on myself now
No escape
Who’s world is this
This world is mine
Forget about the dolphins
Forget about the lions
Forget about the trees
And forget about our crimes
Forget about a couple
Billion years of time
Forget about the multiverse
Forget about it all
Forget about the wild while
We stand tall
Forget about the future
Forget about the past
Just carry on consuming
And thinking it’ll last
Now for my evening
What can I say?
My head’s still spinning
From the fruits of the day
Instead of simply living
In the groove of the grain
I’m inhibiting the rhythm
Of the purest way
One by one
Enemies hang
From the bottom of the sea
To the ends of the land
Who’s world is this?
This world is mine
So everything around me
Should bend to my plan.
Darkness falls, nighttime’s here
Tensions brewing in my atmosphere
Much too hot, far too cold
Sweat poles flowing into overload
First I can’t hear
Then I can’t see
Then I can’t think
Then I can’t be
Who’s world is this?
This world was mine
But at the end of the day
This world broke free.

If Aliens Came

Lyrics
If Aliens Came
I wonder what they’d make of us
Would they applaud us? Ignore us?
Be afraid of us?
I wonder if they’d take in all the beauty we’ve been raping
And start weighing up a way to save the nature
By displacing us?
If Aliens Came
Descending from outer space
Would we welcome them as our own?
Or as a threat to the human race?
Would we take offence to their presence
Extending hate
I wonder if we’d even mention
The complexion of their face?
If Aliens Came
I wonder if they’d have mercy
Realise we’re like an ignorant child
Unwillingly learning
To live in peace without hurting
The synergies in our world’s wings
I wonder would they reject us
Or help us better our journey
If Aliens Came
And showed us what we were missing
I wonder if we would fight them
Or find a way to just listen
To the lore of their traditions
And cosmic cultural wisdom
Astrophysical depictions
Of fitter visions of living
Where existing isn’t riddled with flippant frivolous missions
Of conditioning positioned ambitions into emissions
I wonder, if aliens came
Would they be distant, observe us from afar
While shyly hiding their existence
Gliding high around our skies with their invisible logistics
Thinking what the heck is wrong with these humans and our insistence
On disparaging our land and the magic that we’ve been handed
Planning damning plans that damage ourselves, and leave our planet
Sick and rancid disenchanted damned and gasping for breath,
I wonder if we asked the aliens nicely, would they help?
Of course it’s silly to surmise if outer spacers did arrive that they’d regard the human race
the greatest earthly form of life, it’s highly plausible and probably probable that aliens would contemplate the earth and see the humans as a complicating nominal and wrongly bonded obstacle bizarre and highly volatile and bottom food in nature’s hierarchy pool
If aliens came they’d probably greet the trees, bees, bugs, fleas, bacteria even the breeze before they greeted or as much as even looked at us reluctant in adjudging us as more than just a substance sucking glutton loving rubbish pushing wonder plucking nothingness extorting all the sustenance and lusciousness our loving planet spun for us
Presumptuous, for us to reckon for a second if the aliens connect it’s human beings they’d be addressing, they could leave us merely guessing if they’re real or merely legend while electing with the flora and fauna how to beckon the secession of industrial aggression joined abruptly by the felling of our residence to teach us all a lesson
Their impression, from the outside looking in we’re like the bully on a planet scaling playground favouring our own desires and amusement breaking rules and injuring, without a notion or a thought for all the other living things
So maybe if aliens came they might start doing our thinking for us, distort is, contort us, warp us, or not even warn us, abort us, not cause they’re planning an invasion, or fancy testing out their newest cavalry of ray guns, not because they want to harvest us dissect or mutilate us carve up circles in our crops or wipe our brains and then enslave us, but because they see the humans as a virus unabated, and have come to earth to free it from its sickness and to save it.
Or could it be, if aliens came to understand our dynasties, if they took the time to unwind our society and came to see that there’s a heavy-headed hierarchy who do the deals and roll the wheels of human violence and greed with the majority of humans aggrieved, would the aliens protect the humans too and see our tyrants deceased? As they conceive, not all humans bring the planet disease.

Not All Humans

Lyrics
Not all humans make the decisions
Not all humans create the conditions
Not all humans are able to play around with riches in unthinkable positions
Thin on limits or restrictions
Not all humans control the media
It’s not all humans who spread the hysteria
Not all humans are fusing confusion control fear acedia
To dominate the ones they feel inferior
A whole lot of humans care
From the seas to the trees to the land and the air
A whole lot of humans are grooving the best they can groove
As they move through a pool of despair
Not all humans are part of the struggle
There’s a crude cruel few sat on top in a bubble
Causing nothing but trouble, in a huddle pushing hustle after hustle
Shoving rubble down a funnel on the humble and befuddled
Not all humans have paid the price
But it’s the unmaimed names who have played the dice
To create the fight, pitting humans against humans and assuming
we’ll just carry on consuming, while dividing and abusing
Most humans have love for each other, once you’re under their covers
They’re mostly lovers loving all of the colours but we’ve been ushered by a bully-blooded hooded incumbent pushing the public sense of oneness to plummet
Not all humans are in it together
As a marginal minority believe that they’re better, as if they govern the weather
And so they press on in their role as suppressor stoking measures and modes
That stress the whole planet out under pressure
Most humans are doing their best
Within a system that restricts that ticking tool in their chest
Some are shackled more than others some are fully repressed
And yet so many live through love sincerity and respect
Not all humans should share the blame
For the terror that’s been levelled at this heavenly plain, the one where everyone’s staying
Because while most of us are aiming just to make it through the day
Some among us see our planet as a game
To be branded and commanded for their gain, in a manner inhumane
Irrespective of the beauty that’s slain
You’ve gotta wonder from the way they’ve been ruling,
Maybe not all humans, are actually human?

Lyrics
For him this world is but a door
Open wide from the beginning
Has a different uniform
For every way the door is spinning
Mostly light-toned and masculine
With subtle alterations
Depending on the angle
To the mirror he is facing
He has sat at many tables
Frequented many stations
Objective stays the same
Throughout his changing occupations
One colour on his front, another on his back
Spins around so much it all just turns to black
He was born above the mountain tops
Always looking down, Never learned to fly
But also never touched the ground
Never learned to climb, Never learned to bow
Expediting his survival from the moisture
In the clouds
He has his hands upon the reigns
Different angles different days
From the shadows to the shadows
Revolving through the mains
Pockets full of trouble
Head full of games
Heart full of ego
Poison throbbing through his veins
Hands entangled with the reigns
Strangling their aims
Swinging lassos from the shadows
Revolving through the mains
Pockets full of murder
Head full of gains
Essence of a psycho
Poison plotting through his veins
He was raised by a colossus
Merciless and monstrous
Golden on the outside
The inside deeply haunted
Around and around and around he blends
Whispering in ears at all the secret events
He has a classified idea how the world should be
How the coin should flip, Who should water the tree
Where the river should flow, What the earth should breathe
And if you wanna get ahead well then you’d better agree
Not just finger on the pulse, his finger is the pulse
Whispers are the heartbeat, blood is the result
Privacy to parties, loyal to his cult
Not a mention of his name he has the kingdom engulfed
Who’s world is this?
This world is his,
From the jokers on the sides along with all of their tricks,
To the jesters in the centre with their podium scripts
Wraps his pocket round them all, and they all submit
He has his hands upon the reigns
Different angles different days
From the shadows to the shadows
Revolving through the mains
Pockets full of trouble
Head full of games
Heart full of ego
Poison throbbing through his veins
Hands entangled with the reigns
Strangling their aims
Swinging lassos from the shadows
Revolving through the mains
Pockets full of murder
Head full of gains
Essence of a psycho
Poison plotting through his veins
He wears a multi-layered suit when he walks outside,
Extra special care when he ties his tie,
Has to talk the talk, has to talk the walk,
Make sure they all remember his one is the normal stride
Looks at ordinary people like we come from Mars
Has no time for us, doesn’t notice our scars
If you lined us up, he would find it hard
To see emotion in our faces or to tell us apart
He has his hands upon the reigns, hands upon our brains
Puts the bullet in the gun, writes the writing on the page
If you talked to him in private you would find him very strange,
Though he’s learned to use our language his true tongue is deranged
I wonder what would come of us if aliens arrived
Would they offer us their help or would they want us to die?
If you saw him with his suit off at the end of the day,
You’d find the answer to that question as you look in his eyes.
He has his hands upon the reigns
Different angles different days
From the shadows to the shadows
Revolving through the mains
Pockets full of trouble
Head full of games
Heart full of ego
Poison throbbing through his veins
Hands entangled with the reigns
Strangling their aims
Swinging lassos from the shadows
Revolving through the mains
Pockets full of murder
Head full of gains
Essence of a psycho
Innately inhumane

Lyrics
Our leaders are aliens
Our leaders are aliens
The problem isn’t humans
Our leaders are aliens
Our leaders are aliens
Our leaders are aliens
Don’t blame it all on humans
Cause our leaders are aliens
Our leaders are aliens, they have been for while, not the friendly kind of aliens who want our world to smile, but the nasty kind of aliens who want us all to die, but they like to see us suffer so they hang us out to dry for a while as they pulverise our planet in the guise of a human-like disguise swinging left and swinging right an infection of the mind body soul of our design it’s not the humans misaligned it’s the invaders we’ve enshrined
Our leaders are aliens
That thrive from our demise
They feed off human fear
And breathe in money to survive
They move around in human skin
But they look hollow deep inside
You can see that they’re not people
From the evil in their eyes
Our leaders are aliens
That plague humanity
So we’ve got to come together
Every nation Every creed
Our leaders are aliens
But they don’t have to be
We can fight them all together
Till humanity is free
Our leaders are aliens infecting every nation while proclaiming our damnation comes from overpopulation but the numbers say it’s only like a 100 corporations that have sprayed up over half of all the gases we’ve pervaded not the mention all the plastic and the trash that they’ve created left to strangle every animal that cannot contemplate that this is nothing they should mingle with, nothing they should play with cause it’s cooked and fabricated by a phoney imitation of a species pulled to pieces by a devious invasion built on growth and penetration wealth and self-infatuation suffocated education weighed to fade our integration with the nature that contains us and the ways of our creation from the forest we’ve been taken messed around with and misshapen disempowered disawakened with a shroud of inclinations that we’re separate from the land and from the sea and our relations a delusion framed by aliens to lower our vibrations.
Our leaders are aliens
That thrive from our demise
They feed off human fear
And breathe in money to survive
They move around in human skin
But they look hollow deep inside
You can see that they’re not people
From the evil in their eyes
Our leaders are aliens
That plague humanity
So we’ve got to come together
Every nation Every creed
Our leaders are aliens
But they don’t have to be
We can fight them all together
Till humanity is free
Our leaders are aliens but never really leaders if they were they’d wield their genius to relieve and really feed us treat us like we are alive and not just numbers and machinists just a fetus made to work and breed and bleed and then repeat it squeezed for profit then deleted like the product no-one needed left to rot up all the oceans and the lands and all the creatures there’s a problem we can feel it like our bond has been depleted with the spirit of the earth and all it’s love we can’t receive it something’s blocking our receivers off we’re lost and incompleted left to wander on impeded non-responsive to the feelings of the seeders and the seedlings and the breeze and where it’s leading we can’t even feel the pleas in the diseases we are breathing the unease in every screaming grieving seedless feeding season this unweave of our cohesion isn’t random it’s strategic it’s been planned and then exceeded by a gang of clever speakers using tragic spells to catch us and addictions to decree us.
Our leaders are aliens
That thrive from our demise
They feed off human fear
And breathe in money to survive
They move around in human skin
But they look hollow deep inside
You can see that they’re not people
From the evil in their eyes
Our leaders are aliens
That plague humanity
So we’ve got to come together
Every nation Every creed
Our leaders are aliens
But they don’t have to be
We can fight them all together
Till humanity is free
Our leaders are aliens but they don’t have to be we can fight them all together till humanity is free take a stand and plant a seed trample vanity and greed disentangle our dependency on planned insanity take these grand monopolies chop em drop em to their knees take their keys to the kingdom and re-teach it how to breathe international reprieve we’ll succeed if we believe there’s no deed they can conceive that can defeat our unity that’s why they like when we’re divided and displeased so they can try to seem appealing by providing some release but all this piracy can cease if we combine our expertise and fleece these aliens away by redesigning how we meet all our desires and our needs the old designs can be deceased a new society can prosper a new time can be unleashed, where our minds aren’t misaligned by an outsider-led disease, send these aliens away, maybe we’ll finally have peace.
Our leaders were aliens
That thrived from our demise
They fed off human fear
And breathed in money to survive
They moved around in human skin
But they looked hollow deep inside
You could see that they weren’t people
From the evil in their eyes
Our leaders were aliens
That plagued humanity
But we fought them off together
And abated their disease
Our leaders were aliens
But then they had to leave
Because we fought them all together
Now humanity is free

Lyrics
The virus is gone the illness is dead
Together we severed the alien heads
Humanity free, humanity new
Humility here and harmony too
Who’s world is this?
This world is life
Who’s world is this?
This world is love
Who’s world is this?
This world is ours and yours and theirs yet none of above
The virus is gone the illness is dead
Together we severed the alien heads
Humanity free, humanity new
Humility here and harmony too
Who’s world is this?
This world is bright, and blue and green
And teeming with life
No extra-infest the-terrestrial here
Less money
Less power
Less hatred
Less fear
More working together and loving each other
And pushing each other to fully recover
The things that burned
The things that drowned
The things that our parents knew nothing about
It’s obvious now they were very unwell
As the alien lords had them under a spell
But now we are free we can think for ourselves
A species reborn from a tyranny quelled
The virus is gone the illness is dead
Together we severed the alien heads
Humanity free, humanity new
Humility here and harmony too
Who’s world is this?
This world is life
Who’s world is this?
This world is love
Who’s world is this?
This world is ours and yours and theirs yet none of above
The virus is gone the illness is dead
Together we severed the alien heads
Humanity free, humanity new
Humility here and harmony too
Who’s world is this?
We finally know,
It’s a world where the key to our happiness grows
Not from spinning around hoarding numbers on screens
But from sensing connecting and sharing our means
No ivory towers or bottomless pits
No fighting like pirates in alien ships
The virus is gone, the unity fixed
All the humans in groove with a rhythm that fits
A friend of the land, a friend of the seas
Defending the plans that the planet decrees
Who’s world is this? It’s nobody’s
The darkness had passed, we’d all broken free.
The virus is gone the illness is dead
Together we severed the alien heads
Humanity free, humanity new
Humility here and harmony too
The virus is gone, the tyrants are through,
No more of their blatantly alien doom
The human transformed, the child is born
And ready to live, but never abuse
The human transformed, the child is born
And ready to live, but never abuse.
