So this is an updated excerpt of what I am working on at the moment, let me know what you think! After the intro... I launch into a theme/melody which is a little more chorusy / uplifiting in tone compared to some of my usual fayre before it descends into chaos, crazy solos, symphonia and occasional piano madness. A lot of emphasis is being put into variations and extensions of that chorusy theme. Comments always appreciated.

EMERGENCY STATE

This is an emergency state
This is an emergency state
Corrupting children
An asinine pop political bigoted mandate

Social media cancer
Install the next update
Stage four has an upgrade
Sanctioned in the beds of the corporate

I can’t believe my eyes
Breathing, cheating, wheezing flies

This is an emergency state
This is diversity raped
Segregation politics shoved down  our throats 
Til we suffocate

Isolation this forced 
Provides the  lubricate
For the whores attending
Parliamentary mass debate

This is an emergency state
Are you asleep or awake?
Your children are leaving
And your wives are streaming too

Are you asleep or awake?
This is an emergency state
You're paralysed and
Become blind to the truth

Are you in bed safe and sound
As the dread lingers around
But you shut it out, doom scrolling, gloom cajoling
Room revolving as your IQ takes a hit
Devolving into stinking shit
An excellence in negligence far too evident to admit to

The wife that is sleeping beside you there
But at the same time shes not really there is she fuck-face
She clocked out when you lost your balls leaving your cock out
Swinging, pissing in the wind
Wearing a vacuous, gormless grin
A runt unable to defend the rot, the grot, that was  sinking in
  
Its time you woke up
Open wide and choke the bile up
Poke, provoke the presiding line-up
Claim back the pen of fate

This is an emergency state
This is an emergency state
Get your on demand services
So you don’t feel inadequate

Are you a prime member
Can you  smile and prostrate
Feel the girth of distraction
Placidly subordinate

I can't believe my eyes
Creeping, Reeking, Bleating Spies 

This is an emergency state
Are you asleep or awake?
Your children believing
In the doctrine of the few

Are you asleep or awake?
This is an emergency state
Demasculinized and
Ostracised for being you

Oh I can't believe my eyes
What really is happening here
That being a man is too just much for oneself to fear

I can't
Believe My eyes
There's No Hope
Just Cattle. Dear.

This is an emergency state
Are you asleep or awake?
Your children are leaving
And your wives are streaming too

Are you asleep or awake?
This is an emergency state
You're paralysed and
Become blind to the truth

This is an emergency state
Are you asleep or …..


Awake?

“Consider the cattle, grazing about as they pass you by. They do not know what is meant by yesterday or today, they leap about, eat, rest, digest, leap about again, and so from morn till night and from day to day, fettered to the moment and its pleasure or displeasure, and thus neither melancholy nor bored. [...] A human being may well ask an animal: 'Why do you not speak to me of your happiness but only stand and gaze at me?' The animal would like to answer, and say, 'The reason is I always forget what I was going to say' - but then he forgot this answer too, and stayed silent.”
― Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, Untimely Meditations


Are You asleep or are you awake

This is an emergency state
Are you asleep or awake?
Your children believing
In the doctrine of the few

Are you asleep or awake?
This is an emergency state
Demasculinized and
Ostracized for being you

This is an emergency state
Are you asleep or …..
