Master Plan

How will you know when it's time
That this is more than a change in weather
When will you recognize
You've had enough of (just) feeling better
You ran it though in your mind
You contemplated the risk of action
Until you realized
That nothing comes from sitting on the fences
Have faith
Find a way
Tell yourself the fear will always pass
It's just a temporary side effect
of the master plan
Steel yourself against regret
Turn your collar up against the wind
Muster all your confidence
Even when you're shaking through
Have faith
Find a way
Tell yourself the fear will always pass
It's just a temporary side effect
Instead of waiting all your life
for happiness to arrive
Open up your eyes
Go out and find it

The left and the right are perfectly aligned
Left to their own devices
People often default to greed and vice
The left and the right are perfectly aligned
It doesn't matter where you're from (we all turn out the same)
We all end up under the thumb
The nature of man exhibited without fail
The nature of man is something we know well
Left to their own devices
People often serve to serve themselves
Fake news and rosy glasses
Brainwash and blind the masses
'Til the only thing that unites the classes is...
It doesn't matter where you're from (we all turn out the same)
We all end up under the thumb
The left and the right are equally deceived
A product of willful ignorance and conceit
Left to their own devices
People only will see what they believe
The left and the right are willfully deceived
Fake news and rosy glasses
Brainwash and blind the masses
'Til the only thing that unites the classes is...
Fake news and rosy glasses
Brainwash and blind the masses
'Til the only thing that unites the classes is
The illusion of control
Left to their own devices
People often resort to greed and vice
Left to their own devices
People often serve to serve themselves

So Cruel

I don't know why it hurts
I don't know if I can take it
You say the pain in is the prize
But you were always kind of twisted
This is the crux
This is the conflict
I chose to flee
While you chose to fight about it
You may be wrong
You may be right
Maybe, somehow,
we will win in spite of...
You're so cruel
But I can't escape your pull
I don't know what this is
And you don't see a need to name it
It's all the same in the end
That's the way you chose to frame it
This is the truth
To answer your question
I walk it straight
While you claim the fix is in
Those are the roles
This is the game
I've got no choice
So I keep on playing
You're so cruel
But I can't escape your pull
If you must let your guard down
You must let the right one in
