DAY 21 (30 Day Song Challenge)

What we want isn't what we need.

LYRICS:
---------

Please stop asking why
We first need to get by
To compete and try 
In this market rush to fly

See potential die
As if by design
Those who climbed up high
Make sure we are all denied 

What they fear the most
to be non-essential
Full social demote
Dread existential 

What they fear the most
to be non-essential
Full social demote
Dread existential

Dread existential...
Dread existential...

We didn't come
For the confetti
We didn't come
For the accolades -ah
What we need
Is a leveling
What we want 
Is schadenfreude 

Schadenfreude...
Schadenfreude...

Schadenfreude is the experience of pleasure, joy, or self-satisfaction that comes from learning of or witnessing the troubles, failures, pain, suffering, or humiliation of another.

We didn't come
For the confetti
We didn't come
For the accolades -ah
What we need
Is a leveling
What we want 
Is schadenfreude

Schadenfreude...
Schadenfreude...
Schadenfreude...
Schadenfreude...
Schadenfreude...
Schadenfreude...

Schadenfreude

DAY 22 (30 Day Song Challenge)

We know where this is going... and it ain't good

LYRICS:
---------

I see where this is going
The seeds of greed are sowing
We were brought up not knowing
Boom, the future's glowing

Glowing

Let's get this train rollin'!

LYRICS:
---------

Don't mind me I'm 
bearing shoulders 
Digging down
Hold my ground
Been soft teen and foolish 
Boring lounging

Can't compete for a seat while ignoring
What's all around
(All around)
(All around)

Opportunity is all around.
(All around)...  (All around)...
Inspiration is all around
(All around)...  (All around)...
Excuses are all around

You can hear it coming
It's scream is roaring
You can feel it...

DAY 24 (30 Day Song Challenge)

Let's Rock!

LYRICS
-------

I can feel it coming
Kinda breezy
The feeling's so easy 
I sorta lean into it 

Find the beat though
All that I can control
Find the beat though
No other way to go

I can feel it coming
Kinda breezy
The feeling's so easy 
I sorta lean into it

I can't cheat, no
There ain't no loophole
I can't cheat, no
Still miles to go

It's so easy... It's so easy... It's so easy... It's so easy... 
It's so easy... It's so easy... It's so easy... It's so easy... 

It's so easy... It's so easy... It's so easy... It's so easy... 
It's so easy... It's so easy... It's so easy... It's so easy... It's so easy... 

I can feel it coming
Kinda breezy
The feeling's so easy 
I sorta lean into it

I can't cheat, no
There ain't no loophole
I can't cheat, no
Still miles to go

It's so easy... It's so easy... It's so easy... It's so easy... 
It's so easy... It's so easy... It's so easy... It's so easy...

It's so easy... It's so easy... It's so easy... It's so easy...

DAY 25 (30 Day Song Challenge)

Share your light in this life.

LYRICS:
--------

Life isn't more than what it seems
So sad you haven't dared to dream
Burn bright and use all of your means
A candle light is all we're deemed

Candle Light

DAY 26 (30 Day Song Challenge)

Our LIberty is taking a beating

LYRICS:
---------

Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses 
yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse 
of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, 
tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp 
beside the golden door!*

All are welcome here...

Start the freak show
Ain't where the meek go
Now our melons are gelling 
We're at the peak, yo

Start the freak show
Ain't where the meek go
All this yelling is telling
Can't take the heat, no

Give it all up 
leave your family 
leave your things 

Speak a second language 
and talk shop at gatherings 

Better stay off the streets
Or you'll risk a kidnapping 

There's no right we're human beings
Your laws are trafficking

Human beings your laws are trafficking

It's a tale as old as time
The others are who did these crimes 
They will take your place in line
While slave labor makes my dime 

Get back in the mines!

Start the freak show
Ain't where the meek go
Now our melons are gelling 
We're at the peak, yo

Start the freak show
Ain't where the meek go
All this yelling is telling
Can't take the heat, no

Hmmph... Ha ha ha ha ha ha....

Start the freak show
Ain't where the meek go
Now our melons are gelling 
We're at the peak, yo

Start the freak show
Ain't where the meek go
All this yelling is telling
Can't take the heat, no

Can't take the heat, no...
Can't take the heat, no...

Ya come right on back now, ya hear?

*Excerpted from "The New Colossus" by Emma Lazarus

Freak Show

DAY 27 (30 Day Song Challenge)

I love all the people actively in my life. This song is not for them.

LYRICS:
--------

I see you turn away
Already leaving me
Acting like I can't tell
But I have bid you farewell

What more is there to say
A lifetime thrown away
Ignoring how I felt
But I have bid you farewell

I see your apathy
It is controlling me
This silence isn't hell
Because I've bid you farewell

(because I've bid you farewell...)
(because I've bid you farewell...)
(because I've bid you farewell...)

I see our hearts have made
Compartments for our solace 
But still I feel compelled
To treat this as our farewell

What more is there to say...?
A lifetime thrown away...

(a lifetime thrown away...)
(a lifetime thrown away...)
(a lifetime thrown away...)

Farewell

DAY 28 (30 Day Song Challenge)

This challenge can't beat me!

LYRICS:
-------
It's a throwdown sure you
thought ya beat me 
I'm more resilient
Than you credit me

I'm a different beast
Than you're assuming
Thought you figured it out
But heres's a true thing

I am learning
So much faster than you
I am growing
More than you ever knew

I'm sorry you thought 
that you could beat me
The dust has settled
And I'm still standing

It's all good
At the end of days 
we're all zombies 

Clawing for a piece 
Of yummy brain in
Swimming in The right head 

Ha- How do I climb
This stack of bodies
And maintain?
any integrity for all 
The pretenders I have slain?

Rock your sinking ship 
So sure that I need you
Shut the foggy bin
So clear that you 
can't see through 

I proper sent you 
a boat for your rescue 
But you renounce
And now you drown
My sea of CD's  eat you

Prophet. Show off. Skeeve. Profe.
I can be any of these 
if you don't fucking know me. 

I got tissues for your eyes 
Wontcha Cry boo-hoo
This outcome was predetermined
There's nothing you can do

I'm still standing... I'm still standing...
I'm still standing... I'm still standing...
I'm still standing... I'm still standing...
I'm still standing... Ah!

I am learning
So much faster than you
I am growing
More than you ever knew

I'm sorry you thought 
that you could beat me
The dust has settled
And I'm still standing

And I'm still standing...
And I'm still standing...


Still Standing

DAY 29 (30 Day Song Challenge)

I've grown, but still have so far to go...

LYRICS
--------

Our fences roll themselves 
off into our graves 

Our baggage pulling through these
port-holded maze-s

Surely tell me I haven't
Crawled through in vain...

In vain...

They stir up conflict 
And take over the reigns 
They view a few among us 
To take the blame
Your cut of pure 
Is to be saved in your name

Our kind must have sinned
We're on the outside
Looking in

Our means meet their ends 
We're on the outside
Looking in

Paying tribute to porcelain
Our phones say we're spooked again
Never notice that the fix is in
The ordained circle must still spin 

We're on the outside looking in...
We're on the outside looking in...
We're on the outside looking in...
Looking in...

I need to end this suffering
I need to, I need to 
I need to end this suffering
I need to, I need to
I need to end this suffering
I need to...

Our kind must have sinned
We're on the outside
Looking in

Our means meet their ends 
We're on the outside
Looking in

Paying tribute to porcelain
Our phones say we're spooked again
Never notice that the fix is in
The ordained circle must still spin 

I'm on the outside looking in...
I'm on the outside looking in...
I'm on the outside looking in...
Looking in...

Outside Looking In

DAY 30 (30 Day Song Challenge)

We made it! Just in time for the apocalypse...

LYRICS
--------

Virulent virus
Has been engineered
It turned our silence
Into screams of rage 

Financial violence 
A tide's rolling in
No need to invite us 
Cuz we're coming in

We're coming in...
We're coming in...

"I'm proud to announce that because of your votes, Arcotec is now empowered to take control and win our fight against this great scourge. I assure you this is only temporary until the threat is eliminated. May the Great One watch over us all. Our unity is our strength. We fight as one."

We're coming in...
