Cortez - The Firmament

It’s black and cold
Far beyond the light and gone
The secrets told
Drift into an endless hole
There we go
Fasten hope with chance and bone
Then we’ll know, then we’ll know
Face the light
Thrash about disrupt the hive
When these expire, consult the signs
Which of them had come to thrive?
Bear in mind
The barren mind is wrapped too tight
Release the bonds of your insight
We sail along with ancient myths
That light our sky
We sail the cold, black Firmament
Within our mind
We sail along with ancient myths
That light our sky
We sail the cold, black Firmament
Within our mind
Let’s tear apart the ancient myths
Let’s conquer time
Let’s rule the holy Firmament
Within our minds
Billions of years beyond the breach
The final goal so far from reach
The path obscured from journey’s end
We sail the lonely Firmament

Cortez - Close

I’ve been searching for the questions that I long ignored
And maybe I don’t know the half of things
Pictures on the floor can always just be hung tomorrow
Today is such a chore, it’s hard to breathe
Turn around, build a wall, and then we’ll make an open door
Where one had once been closed for you and me
It’s not what we know, it’s the way we rise above
It’s a farce you know, this way of lies
It’s more than we’re told, the way it truly binds us all
Is a state in flux like melting ice
I’ve been searching for a truth that lies in bitter cold
And maybe at it’s core is tragedy
Silence has a role, in every single story sold
Should I do what I’m told and gnash my teeth?
It’s not what we know, it’s the way we rise above
It’s a farce you know, this way of lies
It’s more than we’re told, the way it truly binds us all
Is a state in flux like melting ice
I went searching for the answers on a foreign shore
Well maybe that’s the point of inquiry
Speech is silver, silence gold, a picture’s worth more than we’re told
And maybe I’ll go make a masterpiece

Cortez - Fog Of Whores
04:55

Sad moments set to a pop song
Unfurl the flag, and we all belong
Let’s bring in business on climate
Stock market’s up... it’s a sign, it’s a sign!
One minute clip of a car bomb
One minute clip of a rocket launch
Portion control all the content
Digestible moments, a sign of the times
Know their design
Politics dressed up in Christ pose
Rhetoric sold to the common folk
Plucked like a rose from a trash can
Stock market's down... it’s a sign, it’s a sign!
One minute clip of Big Ag farms
One minute clip of a cop assault
Portion control all the content
Digestible moments, a sign of the times
They rape our world by night
Fog refracts all the light
