"People say it's a bond. Maybe they're right but I like to think it's because you're fond of me."

Move On Over

I Found A Home (demo)

Together We'll Rise (demo)

Christmas cheer for the darkest night of the year.

Hear The Bells Ringing (demo)

Something Has To Change (demo)

Who needs pop songs?
We’ve got oxycontin
Robots to pick our cotton
Algorithms to put stock in

In 2005, freedom was alive
Deregulation cured our suffering
We payed down pills with promise rings 
Built houses on abstract financing 
Cashed in on the American dream
 
My soul belongs to the lord
My goals belong to the lord
What a wonderful world is in store!   

Who needs hard facts?
We’ve got superstition
To overcome whatever we’ve done
Wave our wants like magicians
Make all our fears…disappear
 
My soul belongs to the lord
My goals belong to the lord
My fear I keep near for the war  

Who needs self-doubt?
When you’ve got paranoia
To prove what you knew all along
The weak will always feed the strong
My bible’s never wrong

My soul belongs 
All hope is gone 
My soul belongs to the lord
My soul is strong
Belief is the bomb
My soul belongs to the lord
I hold him forever in my heart
I hold him forever, I control him forever
Control is forever my lord  
     
Who needs Jesus?
All us christofascists
Counting out forty lashes
To give the outsider and the poor
Love has been tried and shown the door
We couldn’t risk losing any more

My soul belongs to my lord
My soul belongs to my lord
My soul belongs to my lord
My soul has gone…to my lord
