The Audience

Please allow me to introduce myself
 I'm the lie you use
 Surrounded by snakes and talking sharks
 Be mindful the words you choose
 Their eyes reflecting with purpose, calling
 "Welcome to the feast"
 Will you follow their actions and play games
 And as they step will you repeat formalities
 Thieves of our time
 Watch as they rape your integrity
 March as the beat suggests
 Time ticks forward, towards the bottom of undoing all that I
 Once loved come take your piece of me, blood or bone
 No matter, I'll still be here when you're
 Don't cross the story you were always a maybe
 Here they'll know absolutes
 Oh used and abused now left for show
 They lie from their perch to let you know
 There's no letting go
 Thieves of our time
 Watch as they rape your integrity
 March as the beat suggests
 Time ticks forward, towards the bottom of undoing all that I
 Once loved come take your piece of me, blood or bone
 No matter, I'll still be here when you're
 Done
 Be here when you're
 Done
 Be here when you're
 Done
 This is my audience

 Burning Stars

 Ever longing, what and who we are
 This is the story of a boy who lost his way and found the
 Unstruck, his courage lost
 Damaged goods, a trust now long pre-
 This is my audience
 Forever one together
 Burning Stars
 Cut from the same disease
 Ever longing, what and who we are
 Take all matters into your own hands
 Let them play with the coward who can command
 Now you're just a memory
 Of humanity
 (The audience, I will show all of myself)
 This is my audience
 Forever one together
 Burning Stars
 Cut from the same disease
 Ever longing, what and who we are
 This is my audience
 Forever one together
 Burning Stars
 Cut from the same disease
 Ever longing, what and who we are
