The Enlightened Ones

SpokesBUZZ Class of 2017 Finalists

It’s vicious...
You never leave my thoughts alone
You live in the back of my mind
Where the savage things grow
You found me in a state of disrepair
I know that you like broken things

Can you give me a ride to the other side
I know the danger
I'll keep my eyes on the sky
We travel fast like an express train
Until I don't feel any more pain

Holding on tighter
To my dark rider

It’s witchcraft...
Just waiting for the sun to set
The howling wind rides next to me
Underneath the starry night
You found me in a state of disrepair
I know that you like broken things

LYRICS
I spent most of last night dragging this lake
For the corpses of all my past mistakes
Sell me out - the joke's on you
We are salt - you are the wound
Empty another bottle
And let me tear you to pieces
This is me wishing you
Into the worst situations
I'm the kind of kid
That can't let anything go
But you wouldn't know a good thing 
If it came up and slit your throat

Woah
Ooo
Woah 

Your remorse hasn't fallen on deaf ears
Rather ones that just don't care
Cause I know
That you're in between arms somewhere
Next to heartbeats
Where you shouldn't dare sleep
Now I'll teach you a lesson 
For keeping secrets from me

Take your taste back
Peel back your skin
And try to forget how it feels inside
You should try saying no once in a while
Oh once in a while 

And did you hear the news?
I could dissect you 
And gut you on this stage
Not as eloquent as I may have imagined
But it will get the job done (you're done)
Every line is plotted and designed
To leave you standing
On your bedroom window's ledge
And everyone else that it hits
That it gets to
Is nothing more than collateral damage

Take your taste back
Peel back your skin
And try to forget how it feels inside
You should try saying no once in a while
Oh once in a while

The Academy Is... 'LAX To O'Hare' from the album Santi available on Fueled By Ramen.

It was a plane ride from LAX to O'Hare,
and what happened next was a series of unfortunate events.
(Please stay tuned for what happened next...)
The life I breathe for you gives to me new wounds
Well to patch and dress as I reflect on what else I could give you.

Maybe I should blindly throw my faith
into the next thing that comes my way
Standing at the back door with the life that she left behind.
Are we all the same behind the frame
Beneath the glass and fake last names?
I've been waiting far too long to feel the sun on my back.

It was a big bang
and a bright white light from no where.
It turned my coach class window to
A first class seat on the evening news, on NBC.
The life I gave for you is yours
So keep it, you oughtta keep it.
If I had one last chance to take it all back
You know I'd take take take you.

Maybe I should blindly throw my faith
Into the next thing that comes my way.
Standing at the back door with the life that she left behind.
Are we all the same behind the frame
between the glass and fake last names?
I've been waiting far too long to feel the sun on my back.

"Apologies are all we'll ever be," she said.
Standing on the stairs
Looking back, looking hard at me.
"Well, life is long for those who have to wait," I said.
The choice I had to make.
The choice I had to make.
The choice I had to...
(Make)

It was a plane ride. (plane ride)
It was a plane ride. (plane ride)
It was a plane ride.
Just a plane...

Maybe I should blindly throw my faith
Into the next thing that comes my way.
Standing at the back door with the life that I'd left behind.
If we know the way we're gonna die
Through everything else we will survive.
I've been waiting far too long to feel the sun on my back-
Yeah

But one day,
I will stay.

"MetaFor" from Compass & Cavern's Mother of Invention - EP.

Story behind the song - 
http://www.compassandcavern.com/metafor.html


Lyrics:

My paper's on the table, pen is ready to write
And I'm just searching for a name to step right into the light
But see when nothing draws near, I begin to fear
My inspiration's running dry and only silence appears

I'll be confronted with the proof, when I step in the booth
Put the truth on the table, or just table the truth
See, I got nothing to say, no one to rap about
I've run amok in dismay, cuz I'm the Prince of Self-Doubt

So just give me a name, or I'll be flooded with shame
And lose my every chance of getting in the rap hall of fame
How 'bout a penny for your thoughts? The name of a dame?
Or a dime to buy the claim over your fame?

A memory, melody, remedy, to give apparent clarity in this parody lacking vulgarity
Is it for me or for you? Could it just be for two?
Why bother even ask? It's not like anybody knew

Chorus:
Check your inspiration at the door
Who is this song for? Who is this song for?
Is it wrong for me to search for something more?
Who is this song for? Who is this song for?

Post Chorus:
Is it wrong for me to see you as the key to this beat?  
Cuz if you were to be, you would make it complete

I think I need a fresh start, lather, rinse, repeat

Will a face just appear as I put words to the page?
My vision's getting blurry and I don't think it's with age
Why can't the way I feel reveal what's real and let me know the deal?
I feel like I've been sleeping and I just woke up behind the wheel

Trapped in a daze, can't seem to solve this maze
I'm running out of places so just let me count the ways
I might have done this before
I don't have any more
I think I'll start from the beginning, just build up from the floor

Every door might be locked, but if I just take stock
I can tear through all the panels, pan for gold, and find that rock
I didn't mean crack, just go back to the line before that
Where I clear out all the cobwebs just sit down and write a rap

So here we are at the beginning, does this mean I'm winning?
Can't say so, I just feel like my hair is thinning
Back to the drawing board, back to wanting more
Did I hear that right?  My verse is over with that chord

Chorus

Post Chorus:
Is it wrong for me to see you as the key to this beat?
Cuz if you were to be, you would make it complete

I'm looking deep into my heart I'm gonna follow my feet

Bridge:
Is it wrong for me to see you as the key to this beat?
Cuz if you were to be, you would make it complete

Chorus

Post Chorus:
Is it wrong for me to see you as the key to this beat?
Cuz if you were to be, you would make it complete

I think I need a fresh start, lather, rinse, repeat

"Brainstorm" from Compass & Cavern's Mother of Invention - EP.

Story behind the song - 
http://www.compassandcavern.com/brainstorm.html


Lyrics:

Kick in overdrive, my desire to find
Another role to fill, another sign for kinds like me
Feeling the binds of the incomplete
Never meet what I see when I want it to be
I put in all the time that is given to me
And though I make strides on the path to my dreams
I'm feeling further behind it, I think I'm falling asleep

Thought train in my brain, barreling to my claim
Conducting nothing, but replenishing energy all the same
Further insulating the blame that could be aiding my aim
Away from concentrating on ratings and playing the game
How many lives remain?  How many cry for fame?
How many thoughts and hopes will be mine to name?
If I forgot my coat would you mind the rain?

This is
This is a

Chorus:
Brainstorm
Downpour
Brainstorm
Downpour
Brainstorm
Downpour
(Ooh) Storming inside without a barricade to hide behind
Another product of your mind

Looking for success, I will give it my best to impress
And take another heavy weight off my chest
Cuz it is more than a goal, and it is deeper than me
It is an understanding of the way that things oughta be
Is it a matter of time?  Is it a matter of need?
I wonder, when they align, if I'll be able to breathe
And take time to enjoy the scene

Cuz I'm a visionary
A musical, philosophical missionary
Exploring the psychological depths of repressed and unquenched thirst for quest
Turning civil to unrest
And I'm probably not alone, and I'm probably not the first,
But it's driving and providing me with skills to write a verse
Seems the weather's a gift and a curse

This is
This is a

This cover is a tribute to the 10 year anniversary of the release of Depeche Mode's Precious

Precious (Depeche Mode Cover)

Crystalline, the whispered breath.
From a lover’s trembling poison lips,
With the hollow ache of parting.
Tiny pinpricks on your fingertips.

I don’t care to stop the bleeding,
I want to know how far this goes.
And if my song still calls to you
Or the smell of smoke still haunts your clothes.

Beyond the veil in Winter's lace,
Your love is waiting.
But hurry up, you don't have long,
The light is fading.
There is a darkness there you bury deep,
The other side of you I fail to see.

Your soul’s no whiter than my sins,
Engraved in glacial veins on paper skin.
My scars all scream.
Starless eyes bleed disillusion.
When your touch writes a thousand words
and I’ve written the future out, as a dying wish.

I inhale fire, exhale the ash.
You clean my wounds with broken glass,
I pull you in, set you free at last,
In the end, all love is suffering.

Beyond the veil in Winter's lace,
Your love is waiting.
But hurry up, you don't have long,
The light is fading.
There is a darkness there you bury deep,
The other side of you I fail to see.


Your soul’s no whiter than my sins,
Engraved in glacial veins on paper skin.
My scars all scream.
Starless eyes bleed disillusion.
When your touch writes a thousand words
and I’ve written the future out, as a dying wish.

Self Destructive Remix by Nero Bellum

Divinations 

No Gods dwell in these Heavens,
only Devils. Hand in hand.
Replaced by murderers in our beds,
the air of lovers to live mindless.

Do our stars align?
The future is ours, I can see it all tonight.
When I close my eyes, i'm dreaming.
Dreaming of you was love at first sight.

Prepare to embark on a journey,
out of time.

Out of time.

No Gods dwell in these Heavens,
only Devils. Hand in hand.
Replaced by murderers in our beds,
the air of lovers to live mindless.
We have exhausted our, atmosphere.
Our souls are cleansed. 

I don't want to know, at lovers end.

Promise you the sun and stars, I promise you they lie.
This penitence you ask of me, outweighs all of my crimes.

I'm only dreaming of you again.
