BARFIGHT 04:53
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 04:42
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 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 04:01
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 04:51
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 03:46
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 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 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
