Facetious attitude periodically eclipsed by heart-felt wonderings about the existential root

WHERE SAVAGES ROAM I'm threatened by the safety net and troubled by solutions to the problems of the world I tremble when the earth is calm and sleep under the rubble like a frightened feral animal Oh, but it's cold in the home where the savages roam Where the savages roam Aah, aah, aah ... The harshest winter yet All the horses have run crazy God has killed the internet The final course has been taken No, no, no No, no, no No, no, no Aah, aah, aah ...

Lyrics

LYING ABOUT

As I lie here on the sand
counting waves upon demand
salt breezes pervade my soul

All alone but not afraid
of a mind out of control
with freedom to live or die by love

I never could forget you
still holding my hand
when a world was out to get you
getting called to the stand
before a judge so unsure
couldn't weigh in on the case
that the powers made against you
You had already torn their world apart 

Now the tide is rushing in
and these sands will soon be gone
forever and longer than ... even

A stronger wind is blowing
Cold slapping my face 
The truth is not worth knowing
It is all but erased
Does judgment lie ahead
for lying here on the sand
for complying as a witness
to all that unfolds before my eyes?
