The Council
(Alien council)
I've gathered you hear to let you know, I need to go down there
Look, they're scared, unprepared, still unawares, stuck in chairs
And chains, their brains! it's insane! I got to do something!
They're our cousins, they need our help, it's on us, their pain felt
Is honestly the worst I've dealt, with, they're just kids
Can't you see this problem big, the mess they're in?
I need to dive in, blend in, to help let love win. This my mission
I see them visions, and I know you don't want me to go
But it's my decision
--ok, but you won't like it, it won't be easy
I know but it's what I choose to do, they need me
--ok

What am I doing here? the fuck is this? Fear?
What's that over there? Who am I? I don't remember this
This darkness, it hearkens back to a era I thought was dead
A mind virus that kills the head, the heart, the parts
And points of connection, a joint effort of deception
Manipulation and infection, I came here to save them
But I need protection, is it all this bad? or just this section?
There must be others here, defenders
Maybe they can help me remember
Why I came here on a cold day in December
The earth, they're killing her, the villains here, the feelings dead
The mothers crying, her children dying, I wanna go to bed
Dream away the red, the pain is being fed
To the the evil one as bread, and they see him as god
Think this life isn't odd, they praise the paper he design
The faces of the fakes, and the cases of the dranks
Where are the trees? I'm down on my knees, please!
Stop the abuse, of the world and the youth
What happen to the truth? Let's make a truce
You been strangling the goose, for golden eggs
But now you getting dregs
Killing the one thing that gave you legs
Are you fucking stupid or something?
Did someone take your sanity cousin? You gotta stop this
You mustn't, destroy this place, or your race, maybe it's a mistake
But now you have to stop, rethink and remake

People can't you see? The world doesn't remember me!
They can't believe what they CAN see
Run around looking like ants, see? Feeling like a bad dream
Killing animals to feed the cancer like cannibals
Eating their brothers and sisters
Forgot this earth and don't seem to miss her! She gave us life
But they're just going to dig and dis her?
Just take and take and don't even give, no sir
Thinking that they're building clo-ser, to heaven
But this tower of babbling lies, lies closer to hell man!
But we got so much goodness, so much could-ness
Battling with should-ness and would-ness
HhhMmmm
Mmmmm

-Are they worth saving?
I mean this road to hell their paving with pavement
Breaking the sacred, it'd be quicker to terminate the experiment, just exterminate
-They're arrogant
-that's affirmative, could we turn it to a hermitage?
-No! we can look to where to where courage is
- but look at their marriages, don't even last past the carriage ride, their hearts and brains calcified..
- but look at how they survived!
The love is deep inside, and some don't even hide!
Speak the truth and love those who would let them sleep outside!
They're trying to wake up, shake up the people, shake out the evil
I know many are causing pain, but don't treat em like weevils
They may be insane, but they're still our equals
Or at Least our pupils, don't kill em while they still pupating
So why do we sit here debating?
When we know they could be butterflies
-Yea but the other guys are sick of suffering lies
Have you seen this shit? they polluting the sky!
-Yea, but who are we to judge. Why should we hold a grudge?
They're torturing themselves
But with good fortune and us helping..
-more like a good fork and a second helping
See 'em engorged and gorging on more?
Just cause they don't have to forage no more?
-what did you expect? They progressed so fast
Give em some respect, and address the past
This wound never had a cast. It's too soon to release the gas
Their souls have too many cracks, give them a chance..
-give them a chance? What do you think we been doing
And look at what's been ruined?
People, you have to remember
I don't know how long I can convince them you deserve a chance
I see the spark in you, the ember, but you have to advance
This life keeps you in a trance, praising the paycheck and man
Raising the kids to fans, or popping the Xans
Is it God or Allah? Who cares?
They're praising power and you serve 'em by loving the dollar

Remember!!!

You got to remember..

-Hmmm
-So what do you think?
-I think we should give them a chance
