Attention all corporate personnel An intruder resides among us here Do you recognize this man? Intelligence may tell of others in our midst Accomplices... If the slightest suspicions should arise and twist your mind alert the authorities at the first sign at first sight, fire at will, at any obstruction to the shock doctrine providing you now.... I know what you're thinking, a conspiracy... but how could this happen? We build the hierarchies! The armies! So listen to me! Listen to me if you want to live, as you do now! They Could Look Just Like You.

Unraveling 05:13
How did I get into this mess? Confessed to a crime predesigned as the myth of the arrest My fight against industries' eclipsed by my necessities Or so I think? So says the autopsy of my soul against the secret skies The only place that I feel recognized, in disguise Immortalized at my table of inertia My throne of things Silent as I ring the alarm, I know the alarm will ring.... This is not where I was supposed to go This is not how I was supposed to see I want the awaked eye, the unraveling If you think you've given up, thats because you've given up, don't give up, its not over yet... A caravan of thieves has stolen all of your beliefs You pose, deposed so bereaved Multiplied to divide This is the space where heroes and villains collide To form the facts redacted from the naked eye But one of these days! One of these days I'm gonna fight for my love I'm gonna fight for my stake I'm gonna fight for my take Because if these walls could talk, I know exactly what they'd say...

Richard Cory 04:38
They say that Richard Cory owns one half of this whole town... With political connections to spread his wealth around Born into society a banker's only child He had everything a man could want Power Grace and Style But I work in this factory and I curse the life I'm living and I curse my poverty And I wish that I could be, Richard Cory The papers print his picture almost everywhere he goes Richard Cory at the opera Richard Cory at the show! And the rumors of his parties and the orgies on his yacht Well he surely must be happy with everything he's got... He really gave to charity he had the common touch And they were thankful for his patronage They liked him very much So my mind it filled with wonder as the evening headlines read... RICHARD CORY CAME HOME LAST NIGHT AND PUT A BULLET THROUGH HIS HEAD But I work in his factory! And I curse the life I'm living and I curse my poverty and I wish that I could be Richard Cory

Not in Signs 06:09
You are just a technocrat Turning and yearning and making the pockets so fat From the rising black so quick and so slick Now the cost of blood is burning you down to the wick Through positions of omissions Your signatures and your dates You've consumed consumed CONSUMED Identity through fate Every move you make Your hands as they shake Understand and make no mistake now What you need cannot even be described not in words and not in signs Whisper the shapes that get left behind As they tunnel through your mind Did you see the news today? All you made the front page! You're boxed in black and white you've chosen your cage Did you see your wars? Did you shed a tear for your poor? Oh wipe that water off your face! For there is no erase! There is no backspace! and you cannot fade from the flames for those who will burn they may forget what they've learned but they'll always remember your name Turn to the dust.... What you need cannot even be described not in words and not in signs whisper the shapes that get left behind dont forget the faces dont forget their crimes

about

Accomplices is a modern musical trilogy.

It is told in 3 EPs that can be listened to separately or together in sequence.

This is the first part of the story.

The story focuses on personal liberation through public rebellion. It begins as an abstract narrative, weaving through different perspectives and characters. The prism of the Accomplices story is Phoenix. Articulate yet speechless, inspired yet immobile, Phoenix represents the common person and their potential.

The story follows Phoenix to and through a revolution, its many shapes and forms, and the many friends and foes along the way.
