In Forward Time:
Honey, we gotta get up off the F Train
We gotta get above the surface
Make sure no one heard us
Make sure no one saw us running
Money won’t even get us to the river
They’re blocking every road to cross the country
Will we make our home like a home should be?
With no one tracking us or the dreams we see?
Baby you gotta help me off this F Train
They’re coming down the stairs, I know
I can feel the freeze
Of riot gear and guns for the rebel teens
We need to escape where we can’t be seen
In Reverse Time:
Please, dear make me ill
Make self esteem
She lives here forever
We both fight and hate the others
Leave, but if you pack
You'll never recognize me my friend
This track's in my inner head
Well Hear me
Please, dear leave your home
Softly as no other
We heed to the strong word
Having more clout than we would
We used to love other songs
Turned with all my record players
Have they foresaken me for the key home?
Some wars bore no shame
Some have told other halves, but no new shame
Suffer more or less or
Suffer again like you
Me, I've struck gold
But I like it like you, Dorthea

Cameras and Paragons

We are not insane; Life can be appealing and a bit misleading. I know what it means:
The cameras and paragons -- the paragons, they tell us who to be. Honey, can’t you see?
All this governance benevolent to no one but the big man
Honey, take this chip out from my back and run,
Run away, it’s gonna be a long day.
It’s gonna be a special day
Sitting on a plane
Ducking off the radar
We may never get far
We have to believe
The cameras and paragons
The cameras, they shape the world we breathe
Honey, set me free
From this powerful intelligence—they forced us into foxholes
Honey, take this chip out from my back and run,
Run away, it’s gonna be a long day.
It’s gonna be a special day
Oh those cameras and paragons
That paragon is staring right at me
Honey can’t you see?
If we disobey they’ll take our names
They’ll write us on the big board
Honey, take this chip out from my back and run, away

Carrie
Carrie didn’t want the world to know she was breathing
Carrie didn’t want the world to give her a sigh
There were bombs and guns and people who danced near the streetlight
There were bombs and guns and nobody walked outside
She’s alive
Carrie had the type of chip that melts in your shoulder
She had one last chance to rid herself of the plight
There were men at arms, guarding the pyramid holders
There were men at arms, and she had a way to fight
From the moon to the rise of the sea
There’s a gravity feel, it’s a you into me
I know you’re alright
To stay through the night
From the moon to the rise of the sea
Carrie had a heart of snow on a night in the city
Carrie had to do her best with tools she could find
There were bombs and guns and people who danced near the streetlight
There were bombs and guns and nobody walked outside
