BARFIGHT
It all began with an intro song
Rolling in and ready for wrong
Can’t remember if it was Seger or Stones
Doesn’t matter as the night was our own
Like in a movie there were fools at this show
Primed on White Claws and ready to go
Wreaking of failure and forgotten talk
Becoming prey with the turn of the clock
Will you bleed like a goddam’ champion
Un-wise and adrenaline blown
Eighty proof is proof enough for me
Will you bleed like a goddam’ champion
Un-wise and adrenaline blown
Eighty proof is proof enough for me
The time runs and full glasses are gone
Along with a move to terrible songs
Johnny football serenading his boys
A round of shots doesn’t lessen the noise
Thinking back earlier in the night
We all knew this was setup to fight
The bartender has a look like he knew
Serving us like to make it come true
Will you bleed like a goddam’ champion
Un-wise and adrenaline blown
Eighty proof is proof enough for me
Will you bleed like a goddam’ champion
Un-wise and adrenaline blown
Eighty proof is proof enough for me
So ya’ see
There is only one way this can go
We are gonna’ dance to the songs we know
There is only one way this can go
Damn it feels so good to be alive
Damn it feels so good to be alive
So ya’ see
There is only one way this can go
We are gonna’ dance to the songs we know
There is only one way this can go
Damn it feels so good to be alive
Damn it feels so good to be alive
Damn it feels so good to be alive
Damn it feels so good to be alive

LISTEN FOR GHOSTS
Ultrasonic catatonic altered states of droning phonics
Thoughts melt with the candle’s flame
Empty stages Macbook sages fist pumping repeated phrases
Mesmerize the empty minds
I bite down on my tongue while the pain whispers that the jury’s hung
Lower the denominator to corral the most in favor
To follow in lieu of creation
I can’t say where it’s going
I only know where has been
The further we go the deeper the hole
Can rock n’ roll be dead
Heretic the cynic who describes the sounds as photogenic
Beauty crying I deserve better
Holding on like nothing’s wrong when you can’t even sing the song
It’s addiction to comfort’s tones
Shame’s a game best freed when tamed after you have shifted blame
Bitters better when you’re right despite the loss you always fight
Pride alone on a dying vine
I can’t say where it’s going
I only know where it has been
The further we go the deeper the hole
Can rock n’ roll be dead
Ya’ see
I can’t say where it’s going
I only know where it has been
The further we go the deeper the hole
Can rock n’ roll be dead
Ultrasonic catatonic altered states of droning phonics
Thoughts melt with the candle’s flame
Empty stages Macbook sages fist-pumping repeated phrases
Mesmerize the empty minds
I bite down on my tongue when the pain whispers that the jury’s hung
Lower the denominator to corral the most in favor
To follow in lieu of creation
Welcome to where it’s going
Fall in line with the trends
The further we go the deeper the hole
Can rock n’ roll be dead
Shame
Rock n’ Roll is a ghost
Shame
Rock n’ Roll is a ghost
Shame
Rock n’ Roll is a ghost
Shame
Rock n’ Roll is a ghost

Pity The Backseat
It’s that guy with the rings man the guy with the rings
I’m white trash with long greasy hair
A young punk who don’t fight fair
I don’t care if I live or die
Only I know the reason why
Don’t tell me to stay cool
I’m gonna’ do what I gotta’ do
Don’t tell me to stay cool
It’s that guy with the rings man the guy with the rings.
A broken bottle and a switchblade alright
Pity the back seat.
They got two more to even the score come on
Pity the back seat.
Another night another fist fight
I hit ‘em hard because it feels right
A broken bottle and a switchblade alright.
Pity the back seat.
I'm told to stay gold
It's hard to shine every day
I have a need a need to bleed
Nothing gold can stay
Don’t tell me to stay cool
I’m gonna’ do what I gotta’ do
Don’t tell me to stay cool
It’s that guy with the rings man the guy with the rings.
A broken bottle and a switchblade alright
Pity the back seat
They got two more to even the score come on
Pity the back seat
Another night another fist fight
I hit ‘em hard because it feels right
A broken bottle and a switchblade alright
Pity the back seat.
Can you see the sunset from the South side
Can you see it from the South side
Can you see it from the South side
Can you see it from the South side
You can see it from the North side too
A broken bottle and a switchblade alright
Pity the back seat
They got two more to even the score come on
Pity the back seat
Another night another fist fight
I hit ‘em hard because it feels right
A broken bottle and a switchblade alright
Pity the back seat
Pity the back seat
Pity the back seat
Pity the back seat

SPACES

Spaces
Never see it through
All that’s wrong in view
Always wanting more and more right now
It’s easy come and go
All that I don’t know how
Comes around in time the price is paid
There’s only pieces left
Beauty’s in the wreckage
Alive the most when chasing close to death
Falling further than before
And the road is longer than you know
Digging holes and eating crow
The road goes on and on and on
I can see the value in what’s seized lost but never gone
Holding close to the spaces in between soon the peaks erode
Patterns come in view
All that’s old is new now
Revive a time when valued was the life you lived
There’s only pieces left
Beauty’s in the wreckage
Alive the most when chasing close to death
Falling further than before
And the road is longer than you know
Digging holes and eating crow
The road goes on and on and on
I can see the value in what’s seized lost but never gone
Holding close to the spaces in between soon the peaks erode
Clear your mind and share a pint of truth you’ll not be worse for wear
Breathe it in along with sin you’ll find failure will fade away
You’ve heard it all before
And the weight is aching in your bones
Digging holes and eating crow
The road goes on and on and on
I can see the value in what’s seized lost but never gone
Holding close to the spaces in between and soon the peaks erode
Clear your mind and share a pint of truth you’ll not be worse for wear
Breathe it in failure and sin fade away

WEAPONS OF CHOICE
04:31
|

Weapons of Choice
Middle ground is hallowed ground to fall
This culture of against consumes us all
The signs of civil war come into view
A loss of common sense becomes the fuel
Extinction of reason their cabal
Seppuku the path if we should fail
Weaponizing globalizing fear
Weaponizing jeopardizing all that you hold dear
This is how they failed you
This is how we failed you

PREACHER

Preacher
Guiding lights are dimming
The dim are tough to sway
Against to be against
Polarize to paralyze change
Preaching from your pulpit
You see I just don’t care
Big men hiding behind their fences are rarely self-aware
Blank in the stare
So unaware
Tuning with the heart strings
Feelings chokehold the mind
Belief in everything
That’s read and said is proving not wise
Often it feels like we are
So close no matter how far
Stuck in the dark between
the truth and lies are holding us down
Unity through division
Suffocating the chance to bring us back together
Rioting the decision
Forging the fate through rage and scarlet letters
Guiding lights are dimming
The dim are tough to sway
Against to be against
Polarize to paralyze change
Preaching from your pulpit
You see I just don’t care
Big men hiding behind their fences are rarely self-aware
Blank in the stare
So unaware
Tuning with the heart strings
Feelings chokehold the mind
Belief in everything
That’s read and said is proving not wise
Often it feels like we are
So close no matter how far
Stuck in the dark between
the truth and lies are holding us down
Unity through division
Suffocating the chance to bring us back together
Rioting the decision
Forging the fate through rage and scarlet letters
Unity through division
Propagating the lie that together will be never
Rioting the decision
Carry the weight of wearing scarlet letters
Unity through division
Suffocating the chance to bring us back together
Rioting the decision
Forging the fate through rage and scarlet letters
Unity through division
Rioting the decision
We carry the weight of blood-soaked scarlet letters
We carry the weight of blood-soaked scarlet letters
We carry the weight of blood-soaked scarlet letters

JUNGLE SONG

Jungle Song
The jungle’s breathing the cadence a threat
Warning me of this march of death
Craving and cautious the night finds a way
To sing a song that calms me
Chalk lines are drawn around a dreamer’s cause
A search for more than I am
Lost so long fatally flawed
A path that now betrays me
Where do I start and when do I end
The trail is dead where I have been
A stone jungle decorated in danger
I swallow dry my throat cracks with blood
Eyes that burn eyes that wait
Fortunes are turned eyes that burn
Now I burn as I become one with the earth
Kings in the shadows not of this world
Colourful doctors chanting unwelcome words
These visions come and my mind slips away
Becoming more than I am
The night falls to the rhythm of drums
I breathe in ash still tasting like blood
Eyes that burn eyes that wait
Fortunes are turned eyes that burn
Now I burn
Now I burn
Now I burn
Now I burn

ORIGIN

Origin
Most days I feel like we are
So close no matter how far
Believe believe in anything
Anything is everything mind’s eye
The sky they’re arriving from
Like gods we would worship them
Explain explaining everything
Everything objectively made clear
Reach high pyramids and heavy stone
And why how else could they reach the sky
Believe believe in everything
Everything aligning made clear
The time to accept the truth has come
We are not alone nor ever been
The past has left the clues to follow
Shaking the foundation
The time to accept the truth has come
We are not alone nor ever been
The past has left the clues to follow
Shaking the foundation
Origin

SEASONS OF FAILURE
05:46
|

Seasons of Failure
Sorrow is a commodity you barter trading future at the cost of gold
Prophecy like tomorrow isn’t viewed any farther than your vision through stone
Holding on to shallow threats of change in a choice of wars that stays unwaged
A cycle of seasons with an ever-rising tide
You’re wearing failure like a shining badge of pride
Romanticizing this choice to fall below the waves
Wasting time passing on your turn
Waging war with hollow words
A cycle of seasons with an ever-rising tide
And the cause is lost when they know there was a time that they could do better
Self-excused it’s refused to take control over and over
There is always another next time
There is always a reason to fall behind
Sorrow lined with apologies you garner trading apathy for reaching goals
Authoring a story line behind your back both hands are tied destiny has taken hold
Sing along to shallow threats of change the key of fear limiting range
A cycle of seasons with an ever-rising tide
Wearing failure like a weathered coat of arms
Romanticizing this choice to fall below the waves
Praising scars self-inflicted burns
Waging war with hollow words
A cycle of seasons with an ever-rising tide
And the cause is lost when they know there was a time that they could do better
Self-excused it’s refused to take control over and over
There is always another next time
There is always a reason to fall in line
And the cause is lost when they know there was a time that they could do better
Self-excused it’s refused to take control over and over
There is always another next time
There comes a time to become someone else in your own eyes
There is always a reason when it’s all on the line
It’s on the line

STALEMATE (LIVE)
04:08
|

Stalemate
What is this that stands before me
And threatens to swallow the sky
So dark is the vision of tomorrow
I just don’t know how I may rise
Living in the past is evident
Stalemate
A stalemate of internal war
No regrets
No regrets is no excuse to tear the wound
Stalemate
A stalemate of internal war
Who is this with tears that mourns me
And questions ignoring her sight
Accustomed to the practices of sorrow
All this before anything has died
Living in the past is evident
Stalemate
A stalemate of internal war
No regrests
No regrets is no excuse to tear the wound
Stalemate
A stalemate of internal war
How can I reach inside and heal
This pain that hides
No longer do you feel
Lashing out with words
Find their mark with ease
How can I overcome disease
Living in the past is evident
Stalemate
A stalemate of internal war
No regrests
No regrets is no excuse to tear the wound
Stalemate
A stalemate of internal war
Why is it never ending overcast
I just
I just want what’s beautiful to last
How much
How much more time must come to pass
I just
I just want what’s beautiful to last
To last
