lyrics
With all our hopes
And all our fears
And all our joys
And all our tears
And all our dreams
Our choices
Our miseries
How can we be
Merely machine?
Yet they say
This is all we are
We can’t be what we are
They won’t allow it
And we can’t disregard
Their mass of weapons
You and me, we can’t be
You and me, we can’t be
Waves of iron and steel
Waves of smoke and cancer
Enter our lungs
As their
Injection yields our infection
We can’t all be the same
But the disparate
Are thrown away
Because they won’t
Do whatever you say
We forget what we were
When they tell us what we now shall be
And now we tread
In a sea of conformity
Forced to feed the machine
Their reason lives on
Our hearts give in and die
We all succumb to their will
Emotion and I, our sacrifice
A sacrifice in vain
Such a shame
We could’ve been so much more
We weren’t mean for this
Individuality is dead
Sincerity has been hanged
Nature lies slaughtered
Our new world is man made
We can’t be what we are
They won’t allow it
And we can’t disregard
Their mass of weapons
You and me, we can’t be
You and me, we can’t be
And all our fears
And all our joys
And all our tears
And all our dreams
Our choices
Our miseries
How can we be
Merely machine?
Yet they say
This is all we are
We can’t be what we are
They won’t allow it
And we can’t disregard
Their mass of weapons
You and me, we can’t be
You and me, we can’t be
Waves of iron and steel
Waves of smoke and cancer
Enter our lungs
As their
Injection yields our infection
We can’t all be the same
But the disparate
Are thrown away
Because they won’t
Do whatever you say
We forget what we were
When they tell us what we now shall be
And now we tread
In a sea of conformity
Forced to feed the machine
Their reason lives on
Our hearts give in and die
We all succumb to their will
Emotion and I, our sacrifice
A sacrifice in vain
Such a shame
We could’ve been so much more
We weren’t mean for this
Individuality is dead
Sincerity has been hanged
Nature lies slaughtered
Our new world is man made
We can’t be what we are
They won’t allow it
And we can’t disregard
Their mass of weapons
You and me, we can’t be
You and me, we can’t be

Impossible Worlds
by Kevin Daniel CahillThis stunning two-part work from classical guitarist Kevin Daniel Cahill is suffusive ambient that aims for transcendence.
go to album -
The songs on Kelly Reed’s latest are slyly self-deprecating, set to a backdrop of measured keys and guitar for maximum stateliness.

Evicted In The Morning
