Story Behind The Song

we all live in our personal kingdoms where others problems are not our own. our willingness to trust each other has started to deteriorate

Lyrics

SILOS by Lucas cates

It's another day gone terribly wrong
and I'll face this one alone.
No calls, no texts, no messages left.
No hugs no compassionate souls.
Rich white neighbors and they smile and wave,
but there's never really words exchanged.
In my back yard, yeah just over the fence,
but they couldn't be further away.

Yeah, help me out yeah for one small fee
Kingdoms filled with the skeleton bones of material things
Found my friends just like I bought my car
in a three piece suit, online, not without a loan,
in my silo all alone

Skies fill up with a poisonous gas.
Point the finger, someone other than me.
Oceans rise up and they topple the town
and the oil soaks up in the reef.
A hundred fifty species, now, going dying a day
and the forest made a desolate zone.
Gotta make this paper cause it's all that I need
to make a silo into a home.

Yeah, your walking on glass when you run by me.
Fragile egos, more depression, anxiety, and A.D.D
Keeping real busy but I'm so strung out
another day, another dollar, on an island, in a kingdom at home,
in my silo all alone

What you have's not what you need.
You better get up off your pedestal throne.
You buy new shoes when you should buy new heads,
but your selfishness is written in stone.
And on the day of days, when you're wasting away
God ain't concerned with what you saved.
Salvation lies in what you gave.

My island is a castle and it's drifting away.
Gotta learn to live within my means.
Cutting up the credit cards, toss 'em away,
yeah we're growing up and sharing the beans.
Never really neighbors 'til you're open enough
to let the bridge down over the moat.
But afraid of your battleship running ashore,
don't hesitate, get out of the boat.

Yeah, let you cross yeah for one small fee.
Kingdoms filled with the skeleton bones of material things
Found my friends just like I bought my car
in a three piece suit, online, not without a loan,
in my kingdom now, in your castle now, in our silos all alone.
