[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse]
Yo, this is as real as it gets
Neon dreams got me skippin’ all bets
Future waves, motion like a tidal
Bass in my chest, feelin’ so vital

Gonna get mine, hustle through the code
Pixelated visions, steady on the road
Crypto in my pocket, gadgets on my wrist
Hoppin' from the net, never gettin' missed

[Chorus]
GOTCHA! Feelin’ the rush
Circuits ignite, in the neon brush
RUN! To the future we head
Lights flash red, in a city of dread
RUN! Beat’s takin’ control
Where rhythm and soul meet the heart of the whole

[Verse 2]
Binary beats, rhythms of the night
Hologram dreams in the synthetic light
Digital rebels takin' over screens
Surfing on a wave, riding with the fiends

I'm an old man who hates what he sees right now. I wrote this in response to the constant "War Clock" and "WW3" articles that we are being bombarded (pardon the pun) with.

5 Seconds to Doom

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Tension
At an all-time high
Reason
Was left far behind
Egos
Cannot co-exist
In a world gone mad run by masochists

[Bridge]
Can anyone tell me why
An old man gets to decide
If our young, live or die

[Chorus]
It's time (past time!)
For us to stand and resist
The old reign has brought us to the abyss
We have the power
This is our hour
If you don't stand for something
You'll fall for anything

World Clock

5 seconds to Doom

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Visions
Of a world on fire
Decisions
Made with irrational desire
Egos
Cannot co-exist
In a world gone mad run by masochists

[Bridge]
Can anyone tell me why
An old man gets to decide
If our young, live or die

[Chorus]
It's time (past time!)
For us to stand and resist
The old reign has brought us to the abyss
We have the power
This is our hour
If you don't stand for something
You'll fall for anything

World Clock

5 seconds to Doom

DON'T FALL FOR THEIR INSANITY!!
STAND!!!
FOR HUMANITY!!

[Break]

[Bridge]
Can anyone tell me why
An old man gets to decide
If our young, live or die

[Chorus]
It's time (past time!)
For us to stand and resist
The old reign has brought us to the abyss
We have the power
This is our hour
If you don't stand for something
You'll fall for anything

World Clock

5 seconds to Doom

[Instrumental]

[Spoken]
We're in this together
Sisters and Brothers
Fathers and Mothers
No Borders
A New World Order

Peace . . .

5 Seconds To Doom

[Verse]
I know these cracks
This sidewalk to nowhere in particular
Cold wind at my back (my back)
This day is unspectacular

But maybe
You could change that (maybe)
Swimming out of my depth
I wont hold my breath (maybe)

Keep moving (where)
I keep moving (over there)
Where?
Over there

Home
That four letter word
So lonely sometimes
It's almost absurd (almost)

Back on the move
This sidewalk to nowhere in particular
Grey skies match my mood (my mood)
My experience exceedingly singular

But maybe
You could change that (maybe)
Swimming out of my depth
I wont hold my breath (maybe)

Keep moving (where)
I keep moving (over there)
Where?
Over there

[Solo]

[Bridge]
The mist descends
Drops of emotions
Can I make amends
Or go through the motions

I don't know

For now I'll move

Over there

Over There

[Spoken]
The years
Stacked up,

 one by one

[Verse]
The weight of them on my shoulders

The burden, 
can't be undone

I can hardly move, now that I'm older

[Bridge]
I tried, 
I swear I did the best I could
I tried to be kind
despite the inequity I took

[Pre Chorus]
The loneliness clings to my soul
Separated from my pride
Inside my mind it took it's toll

Now the echoes and the shadows cloud my vision and repeat my battles

Down to my core, I'm rattled

[Chorus]
These thoughts are deafening
Yelling out all my mistakes

Unrelenting
Threatening

I can't un-hear what they've said

I want an empty head

Make the pain go away
The volume

Intense

Unrelenting
Threatening

I can't avoid where this led

I need an empty head

[Instrumental]

[Solo]

[Verse]
My thoughts now stray
To some kind of escape
I need to get away

I don't want anyone to know
where I am or what I know

I need to pick a direction and move

Don't look back
Not much will change

[Spoken]
An uncomfortable truth.

[Chorus]
These thoughts are deafening
Yelling out all my mistakes

Unrelenting
Threatening

I can't un-hear what they've said

I want an empty head

Make the pain go away
The volume

Intense

Unrelenting
Threatening

I can't avoid where this led

I need an empty head

Empty Head - Dub remix

[Spoken]
Not all who wander are lost.

[Verse 1]
Candy for the mind
What will we find?

Eyes to the Horizon
The first step toward fun

[Chorus]
 Take the Lead or follow

We're heading to tomorrow

Either way

Come what may

We're all wanderers

[Spoken]
Not all who wander are lost. (we're not lost)

[Instrumental Solo]

[Verse 2]
Crafting our future
Gathering our courage
Fighting when we have to
Enjoying peace when it comes.

[Chorus]
 Take the Lead or follow

We're heading to tomorrow

Either way

Come what may

We're all wanderers

[Spoken]
Not all who wander are lost. (we're not lost)

OOoooh

OOO Oooooooh

Ah AHH AHH aaaaaah

[Spoken]
Not all who wander are lost.
