It’s alright, I believe ya
I’d just double check your crooked media
We’ve been lied to for so long
But pretty much everything that you know’s wrong
We don't have time, here this evenin’
For litanies of things I don't believe in
Cuz we are all such
Ghastly creatures
Trust me I’ve read quite a bit of Nietzsche
All things must end
And some of my old friends are dead
I Guess I should be grateful then
God damn….
I don’t know how
You’re supposed to take this
But all your heroes basically were racists
The sea is full of
Mercury and silver
And all your favorite foods are gonna kill ya
The banks control it all
They Own Every nation
I’ve been keeping my cash in the basement ever since
I was a walking time bomb
Now I’m a lonely giant
And I’ll keep this up until ya’ll start to cry and
All things must end
And some of my old friends are dead
I Guess I should be grateful then
God damn….

Just couldn’t leave it alone I guess
a moment in time, a little white lie, what’s the harm in it
Would you believe I was so obsessed
I rationalized it, I justified it in my head
But I made a mess when I succumbed
Clearly this ugly thing I’ve done
Makes me wonder who I have become
And though my deception was real, it was really an act of lust
But it’s treasonous, treasonous, treasonous
Now I look back and wonder why
It’s hard to recall anything at all after all this time
Clearly it wasn’t worth the strife
I can’t dismiss it, man I’ve been missing my old life
But I made a mess when I succumbed
Clearly this ugly thing I’ve done
Makes me wonder who I have become
And though my deception was real, it was really an act of lust
But it’s treasonous, treasonous, treasonous

See ya bickering on the book about facts
incessantly braying screaming lies about that
guess these turbulent times will make a man crack
now ya satisfied lads are on the attack
Well I’ve thought insane things too
But I think we’ve heard enough from you
sick of monotonous paranoid rants about Joe
how he’s a rapist a criminal mastermind though
ya’ll are a pack of hungry wild dogs at our throats
half of the nation hanging from the end of your rope
Well I’ve thought insane things too
But I think we’ve heard enough from you
Yeah I’ve thought insane things too
But nothing compared to these fools
Well you’ve had your time
we just wish that you would be gone
but we can only dream of things that we would like to see for so long
When will you you realize that
everything you say is wrong?
Our patience is about to break, we’m be overtaken overrun and DONE
Well I’ve thought insane things too
But I think we’ve heard enough from you
Yeah I’ve thought insane things too
But nothing compares to these fools
Yeah I’ve thought insane things too

Time To Medicate
04:38
|
|||
When you got out
you left no room for a shadow of doubt
It Went without saying, that you weren’t the same but We all just
Tried to forget about it
So we took some hits
Many more than I care to admit
And something had just changed inside you
I barely even recognized you
Been that way ever since
What will it take for you to listen to me
try to find something else besides LSD
You can’t just walk away
Cause this won’t ever change
it’s time to medicate
You know I hate to judge
But your path to self-destruction is so obvious
With your Rapid fire philosophizing
Endless breathless proselytizing
Threatening those you love
So now I draw the line
Cause we have simply had this conversation far too many times
And in case there is still confusion
Doing nothing’s no solution
Asking for help is fine, so why deny
What will it take for you to listen to me
Gotta find something else besides LSD
You can’t just walk away
Cause this won’t ever change
It’s time to medicate
What will it take for you to listen to me
Gotta find something else besides LSD
You can’t just walk away
Cause this won’t ever change
It’s time to medicate

All the flagrant lies that I’ve been fed over the years
Every next one feeling more offensive to my ears
You’ve always been reliable and ignorant it’s true
That’s why these ancient tired men keep pandering to you
For all my life since you
I’ve been on my own
Never needed platitudes or sacred tomes
And Once I stepped up and over your hard lines
Then I remembered how you’d threaten and demonize
We’ll be losing rights by your hands, don’t you doubt it
It won’t affect your lives until your
Wives and children die and you can’t
do nothing about it
For all my life since you
I’ve been on my own
Never needed platitudes or sacred tomes
And Once I stepped up and over your hard lines
Then I remembered how you’d threaten and demonize

Empty Paper Bag
04:29

I can hear you from the hall
I can feel you through the walls
Wouldn’t claim to know it all
I don’t have the wherewithal
So I try to avoid a fight
Though i don’t really have the right
I only know it in hindsight
But you aren’t speaking to me
I’ll just have to leave things be
We both know that I need an overhaul
I fear if you knock down my frozen wall
You’ll truly see me and
walk out the door saying nothing at all
Before you were in my life
There was no inner light
Not one that I could find
It needed a spark to ignite
There is life within me found
This is why I need you around
You’re my feet on solid ground
But once you’re out of reach
I’m an empty paper bag on the beach
We both know that I need an overhaul
I fear if you knock down my frozen wall
You’ll truly see me and
walk out the door saying nothing at all
I never thought you’d love
I never thought you’d love
I never thought you’d love
I always thought you’d run
I always thought you’d run
I always thought you’d run
We both know that I need an overhaul
I fear if you knock down my frozen wall
You’ll truly see me and
walk out the door saying nothing at all

Over The Fray
04:42
|

So many things to which I can’t relate
But from the lofty tower I’ve had time to sit and contemplate
These crooked people can’t decide our fate
Our arms and legs are buckling, giving out under the weight
I haven’t lost that much in all of this
anything less than catastrophe is easy to dismiss
Yet I can’t help but feel so powerless
Just sit and watch the world keep sliding into the abyss
solutions are still far away
so many ways we could go astray
What can I even say
I’ve been so bent out of shape
But I’ll keep reaching my hands out and over the fray
Innumerable things we can’t decide
just how much of our history was really genocide
And will all of us make it out alive
While we’re at each other’s throats there’s almost no way to survive
solutions are still far away
so many ways we could go astray
What can I even say
I’ve been so bent out of shape
But I’ll keep reaching my hands out and over the fray

Stepped On The Beehive
03:45
|

Oh my, did worlds collide?
The conversation faltered and died
Why did her face go white?
Why is everyone being so quiet?
I just hear the kind of silence
Anyone would despise
I guess I must be the tyrant
And I need some advice
In my vacant state of mind
Went and stepped on the beehive
Didn’t take too long to find
Less than ten but at least five
I can’t even tell you why
Couldn’t I just have stayed quiet
I guess I go too far sometimes
Alright, it’s time to decide
The incident from the other night
in my mind it was really benign
Might’ve been too deep in the wine
Cuz I never did aspire
To be faded so long
I’m not even sure what transpired
All ‘s I know’s I was gone
In my vacant state of mind
Went and stepped on to the beehive
Didn’t take too long to find
Less than ten but at least five
I couldn’t even tell you why
Couldn’t I just have stayed quiet
I guess I go too far sometimes

Whistling lonely teardrops
Then it hits me obvious
My last line is so just like that
Sure I was digging it but now it must be scrapped
Another crash and burnout
Startin to think my critical mind
Is really nothing more than a curse
Spent an eternity just writing this god damn verse
It might seem to be real vain
But I want to know
is it appreciated
are we even being creative here
Ya’ll have been the height of patience
Givin me all the time I need
I know its been way too long
It shouldnt be so hard to finish a handful of songs
But Now I can only wonder
If these nihilistic dreams
Are really payin off these days
With no beliefs there just isn’t a lot to say
It might seem to be real vain
But I want to know
is it appreciated
are we even being creative here
It might seem to be real vain
But I want to know
is it appreciated
are we even being creative here

Dopamine Miracle

The scene
looking out at the sea
i wonder if we
and our like will remain
but now it would seem
in our systems of being
we are not guaranteed
a life or domain
how much existence can be seen?
are miracles just dopamine?
and what’s a miracle to me
I don’t believe
But somehow it’s got to be
Are we even really able to make our feelings clear
It would seem, that my only means of communication is this right here
What you’re hearing, through the speakers
what I breath and what we feel
is a glorious thing, but a thing all the same
And i have to wonder if it’s even real
how much existence can be seen?
are miracles just dopamine?
and what’s a miracle to me
I don’t believe
But somehow it’s got to be
how much existence can be seen?
are miracles just dopamine?
and what’s a miracle to me
I don’t believe
But somehow it’s got to be
