Fireworks

Frequency
(for Ben Phelps)

I look into your fiery
windows of your soul
your eyes they glisten
shining so awake

I hold your hand
so warm so real

I wish you never had to let it go

scar the soul beneath the skin
watch the damage pushing into our lives
feel the soothing rushing in

cos everybody loves a hero
I used to watch em' as a kid on TV
now the its all become so supercharged

is anybody on the same frequency
as me?

is anybody on the same frequency
as me?

A billion minds wait
opened for their daily dose
escape plan from
the mundane of the real

the product pipeline
pushed into the sacred soul
like oil injected
intraveneously

cos we all need a corporate hit man
and everyone needs that rush
pushing life on maximum overdrive
truth consequence or bust

i'm slipping down the plughole
it's swimming through my veins
there's light at the end of the tunnel
it's a sewer of the drained

The rulers held a vote
the people lost the poll
harvested their souls
now we don't know what to think
we can't find out the truth
you poisoned all the proof
yes the people lost the polls
now they harvest all your souls
we are being controlled

scar the soul beneath the skin
passing pleasure rushing into our brains
can you feel the fix is in

cos everybody hates a zero
i wore my couch out watchin TV
and now we have "the interwebs"

Is anybody on the same frequency as me, as me?

Is anybody on the same frequency as me

as me?

and so i sit and try to heal inside the real
addiction rising a storm inside my bones
bottle needle theres no difference at all
as usual i am all apologies

scar the soul beneath the skin
watch the pipelines being laid into our minds
the developers are moving in

scar the soul beneath the skin
