Destruction of The Powers That Be
from Autumn Dreary Daydream by Isaac Riley
lyrics
Doomed from the start
I feel like
Happy to be
Rich in my thoughts
Poor in my heart
Wish you were me
If you would please
Come near me
I will not bite
I'm not afraid
If things aren't
Ever all right
Won't you just please
Hold me up
Into the sky
I have a job
To do or
We would all cry
Hats off to those
Who want some
War without peace
Sanguine in spite
Of the time
Eroded from me
Won't God help me?
Why won't God help me?
Wish you were here
So I could
Yank the face off
Time isn't kind
To those who
Stay in the loft
If you would please
Come to me
I have questions
I want you
Not some middle-man confession
When I claw my
Way up there
Virtue earning
Speak for yourself
Mr. Boss
Look who's learning
It's not a sleight
Of the hand
It's just belief
I'm more deserving of this
Than you would think
Won't God help me?
Why won't God help me?
I feel like
Happy to be
Rich in my thoughts
Poor in my heart
Wish you were me
If you would please
Come near me
I will not bite
I'm not afraid
If things aren't
Ever all right
Won't you just please
Hold me up
Into the sky
I have a job
To do or
We would all cry
Hats off to those
Who want some
War without peace
Sanguine in spite
Of the time
Eroded from me
Won't God help me?
Why won't God help me?
Wish you were here
So I could
Yank the face off
Time isn't kind
To those who
Stay in the loft
If you would please
Come to me
I have questions
I want you
Not some middle-man confession
When I claw my
Way up there
Virtue earning
Speak for yourself
Mr. Boss
Look who's learning
It's not a sleight
Of the hand
It's just belief
I'm more deserving of this
Than you would think
Won't God help me?
Why won't God help me?

Isaac Riley recommends:
-
Flight of the Knife
by Bryan ScaryA wonderfully over-the-top album inspired by early Queen and progressive rock, easily one of the best albums most people have never heard.
go to album -
Really loud and abrasive post-punk oddball music. Is it strange? Completely. Delightful? 100%
go to album -
Soundtrack to the Clearance Bin
by theEndlessVacuumA close friend of mine's alternative rock project. Really catchy stuff here, if you're into that sorta thing (and let's be honest, we all are).
