The future is black and white.
We've been here before.
It's a paradox of tolerance when daylight hates us,
Upholding verbal poison from the rising sun ancients.
The blood on his hands so potent we all can taste it,
All this art and history again going wasted.
The future is black and white.
We've been here before.
A clear blue sky is just a lie,
The mask of the universe.
To protect us from the truth of the stars,
We're insignificant in our lives.
And yet it's us, the people of the night, who shape what we perceive through our eyes.
The future is black and white.
We've been here before.
Vultures circling .com corpses.
Each new investor richer than the last.
All my friends leaving town.
Renovations just won't slow down.
An invisible committee, a night society.
A Ghost City, all full of pity.
The future is black and white.
We've been here before.

Hypothermia

Your toes are falling off and your skin is going numb.
Blood rivers in your arms, hypertension no more.
And now you're dyin' in the cold, because you didn't pay your loan, and your house was not a home.
Your body isn't whole.
When the snow is falling, your red will stain what's white.
...
Fuck anyone who doesn't care!!
We're going to the one place where!!
Blood rivers in your arms,
Blood rivers in your arms,
Blood rivers in your arms runnin' dry.
Fuck anyone who doesn't care!!
We're going to the one place where!!
And now your eyes are frozen shut.
No moisture left to keep you to see.
Fuck anyone who doesn't care!!
We're going to the one place where!!
Blind, you're wandering through the snow and the ice.
Can't see a thing, how can you survive?
Nobody wants to take you inside!!
Nobody wants to take you inside...
Fuck anyone who doesn't care!!
We're going to the one place where!!
Fuck anyone who doesn't care. We're going to the one place where we can feel welcome without the hatred of the likes of you.
Fuck anyone who doesn't care...
We're going to the one place where...
Fuck anyone who doesn't care...
We're going to a place with cold air...
Cold air!!
Cold air!!
Cold air!!
Cold air!!
...
Fuck anyone who doesn't care!!
We're going to the one place where!!
Fuck anyone who doesn't care!!
We're going to the one place where!!
Fuck anyone who doesn't care!!
We're going to the one place where!!
Fuck anyone who doesn't-

Why Us??

Burned out of history books.
Just because of the way you look.
Why us??
Why us??
Why us??
Why??

The Invisible Committee
13:34
|

|
An Invisible Committee,
A Night Society,
A Ghost City,
All full of pity.
Blood rivers.
Running dry.
Us, why??
Happens all the time.
A life of hope,
A life of pain,
As long as you profit,
It’s all the same.
Building towns,
Burning em down,
Brick by brick,
Buffering shit.
Claiming land,
Causing pain,
Creating nothing,
Caught again.
The future is black and white.
We've been here before.
Meanwhile, down in the town...
A man and his family are walking alone, when suddenly another one breaks the silence and steps out into the light.
A snap decision is made then
All the pain brought onto them.
A few quick shots, and now, the man is gone.
The future is black and white.
We've been here before.
