The 51st State (The State of Change)

from Of Amber Skies and Of Emerald Oceans by I Am the Cave

lyrics

Constantly going to the store,
Domesticated to enjoy buying more
Of what we cannot afford,
How many different meals have You
Had this week?
Is it more than three?

I'm so weak from working

The months?
The years?
They add up quickly when
You never challenge the idea
Of waiting till tomorrow,
Today is all You must know,
To be aware of Your surroundings,

I don't understand the scale,
But there is something so powerfully aware
And it's drawing us closer to heaven,
Because We are atoms divided
Contained in human vessels
Just trying to ascend,

But suffering is needed to begin again,
Take time,
Treat Yourself to life,
Set Yourself up for the next by
Living wholly in this one first,

If schizophrenia is a disease then
I'll wait in line for cyanide gas filled prisons,
Their final solution to enslave humanity,
Come stand with me,
Set Zion free,

Let's smile since they
Can't assimilate Us all,
We've come too far,
We've Grown too strong,
Of course We're going crazy,
No one in society listens to
Logical sense anymore,

This isn't imagination
Do You know how many revolutions are
Occurring across the globe right now?
You must not ignore,
Ignorance is so prevalent it
Is an avalanche eroding off
What should be a functioning society,

Turn off and silence Your digital
Distractions and explore what's happening,
The slaves in Asia making Your clothes and phones,
The excessive sugar, rock salt, and caffeine
Satisfying ignorant stress dream cravings
While busy mining away at every bone,
Drowning in erased memories,

I'm sure there will be a strong link between
Alzheimer's disease and drinking coffee,
So be prepared to sue,
Because I know money is all that
Matters to both sides of You,

No matter how many times We
Mention dementia You still
Waste into another dimension
With no retention of who You are,
Or that the Nazi war machine was
Fueled by methamphetamine
While Our generation will fight
On the backs of Caffeine in energy drinks,
And ADHD stimulants prescribed like candy,

We only live so We can die,


Why fight for a government that doesn't care or support you?
Become colourless and see how many colors are starting to bloom,

How many flowers are deemed
Weeds because We see too many of them?
Slowly picking off those who see
What Tyranny has grown in Our world,
Their reward is war and to be cast from society,

We are humans too,
Stop trying to exterminate Us quietly,

If I am suicided the night after I release this,
You'll probably know why,
I will never again take a life into
My own hands,
That's who I am,

But to defend life from tyranny,
My resolve will know no ends,
I will not sit idly by while
You continue the onslaught of innocence,
The horns of God will blare,
And Your defiance and lust for power
Will at last come to an end
