It's time to lay your head my dear
It's time to go to sleep
Your minds been racin' round these problems
that are dried concrete
I'll put your favorite record on
I'll put it on repeat
Youll dream of transluent worries
and know everything will be okay
Think back think back to the days
we were so young so warm so safe
swaddled up in some dirty blanket
bleedin' on the beach
Now the blood stains
are all that remain to remind us
there once was a force that did bind us
and if it wasn't for the lingering odor
of the corpse we'd drft apart
CHORUS
So set it all to flame
and let the ashes burn
beneath my callosed feet
this flesh and bone
have become my only company
a constant hold on the trigger
to sustain some sanity
Run run run run faster baby
faster now be sure to leave me
waging battles in my head
of demons, misery, regret
Herded by a broken compass
stumbling round with selfish purpose
this love affair with grim
has only lead me further from death
I fucking hate those days
when I can feel so clearly
that the teathers fraying
and my only comfort is threatening
to tear me limb from limb
But when the cackle of regret so shrill
keeps growing louder still
I'm trading in the little blue pills
for a needle and an empty bed
CHORUS
I've been cut and strung like a puppet
Tell me was it all worth it
When you cease to question your captor
Stolkhom has stolen your sanity
Can't say goodbye
Tragedies killing disasters like clockwork
Maybe I'm just jade
but I don't see the beauty anymore
And so I mourn for every child born
Into this ugly and unforgiving world
We're dropping' bodies droppin' bombs
No remorse no restraint at all
What's left for the ones who come after us
Bloody rubble and a dream coated in dust
How much further do we plan to take it
Slash and burn till the planet lies vacant
And I've always heard that when it rains it pours
If we let the cops pull us over
Next they'll bust down our doors
The prisons are loaded the quotas are met
We're starving in gutters and drowning in debt
The system has faltered there's no help to call for
Let's open the toolbox and build something better
CHORUS
god I hope we haven't buried ourselves too deep
Beneath a mountain of abhorrent ideas and greed
And I really wish I had some hope for the future
but I'm sorry gotta say I don't (x2)
2053 missiles deployed
Soon we'll be shifting through
the ashs of a planet destroyed
The human race is just a parasitic toxic disease
We're paving over forests and we're poisoning the seas
A wasteland what once was pure
Decrepit now we've torn the sails
A travesty a wasted chance
The bridge to growth was built to fail
A hourglass is running low
Rusted gears begin to slow
When this modern daydream does collapse
We'll all be begging for the past

Not at all is my COVID 19 theme song.
Jesse is an amazing lyricist and his music has been gradually getting more positive and as someone going through recovery and therapy to try to be the best me I can be; I can tell he is doing the same thing and honestly he is spot on with a lot of these songs!
