"May 16"

"May 16"


No more waiting on them
as you rise inside new rooms
It's official you've gone
you can live for no one else
Man the guilt must be huge
As there's no gain in failure you succeed at being mine
Yeah, old friend, see you there I will be proud from afar
I can paint a picture in a moment of memories and there aren't many left
I am extradited, uninvited

It's just another Saturday

Take a step to freedom
You and her against this cruel world
Take a breath of shelter and exhale
Trust and allegiance
Liberate yourself from hell

It's just another Saturday
It's just another Saturday

"Memoirs And Landmines"

"Memoirs And Landmines"


All that I know
Things are going slow
And we can not forego
Life on death row
And I'll miss you

Hail to the chief
Abusing his control
He could never weep
He lost his soul
To his ego

All that we've faced
Slowly being erased
These memoirs have no dates
It seems like such a waste

Memories and landmines
I remember where I'm from
Still fresh in my mind
I remember where I'm from

End it in a text message
I'm just so fucking sensitive
And away you go
Goodbye
Degenerated sound bites
Echo to the end of this meaningless life

Cartoons and creatures
I remember where I'm from
Unworthy teachers
I remember where I'm from
Straight through the stop signs
I remember where I'm from
Who am I driving home?

All that I know
Slowly being erased
These memories have no dates
It seems like such a waste

"Messengers"

"Messengers"


Late, I can stay up late
In and out of bed
Cleaning up the mess
Trying to be honest
'cause I know I am on it
In this, the last time I
speak of it
the loyalties that have been broken
Mine isn't dead
One thing is true
Nothing is sacred
When everyone's talking
and nobody's listening
When we confide in all
those friends
they're just messengers
One thing is true
You throw the matters into
blue skies
turning to grey,
falling out every day
One thing that's free
I confide in you with the truth
Late, I can stay up late
In and out of bed
Cleaning up the mess
inside my head

"Mission Unaccomplished"

"Mission Unaccomplished"


Rainy day I'm counting sheep in may
Woke up dreaming of the sun and the
You could have done mid-life
Lent I've come here to repent in a
Time-lapse document meaningful as when
We met through the laugh-track I'm still
Wailing for you mission accomplished

Hey man I'm alive I hope
They don't mind I changed my mind

Tumble down white hills in blue background
Even in this dream sequence you won't
Explain nor confess

Mission unaccomplished still out here

"Move The Car"

"Move The Car"


The story it grows older, the story is no story here
I never knew what it is, and there's no sign of it ending
As I am it and ought to be, they're telling me I am

[Chorus:]
Bowling race car driver, superficial hitman you're
On the list at every door, you don't bowl or race fast cars
Composition competition you drive

Just because I don't go, to the church where you reside
I might as well go for it, the nineties won't be back again
Until I'm forty-eight years old
I can be the hungry, as I eat my words again, appealing yet apalling
rising to my falling, I'm going to extreme ends, I'm gagging on their scene

[Chorus]

You shift, I'm the driver, over time in it's defense, I move their car
And for a moment it makes sense, but I fail them in the end

In the arms of old age, knowing only one to lose
Feeling nothing more to hide, consider life a forgery
As you're gagging on your scene, admit to fraudulence
Driven to this thought, death is certain, faith is not

[Chorus]

Composition competition you drive competition
Competition I'm losing I fail it in the end

"Mr. Coffee"

"Mr. Coffee"


Morning has broken
Mr. Coffee has spoken
The familiar wake-up call
sings to my ears
I wake with a shrug
To the floor with a thud
Where in this hellhole is my coffee mug?
I can now face the day
on legal speed (The American way)
I'm sketching
I'm seizing
I'm spazing
I'm shaking
I can not stop spilling on my brand new shirt
I-I-I'm wired
I'm so inspired
I drank the entire pot
so off to work
Here I come to save the day
on legal speed (The American way)
Drinking coffee
I drink coffee
Drinking coffee everyday [x5]

"Name Dropping"

"Name Dropping"


Cristy can't take all the pressure
Kevin hates the girls he dates
Mia says she's gonna snap I need a new car to drive away
Derek beats up all his girlfriends
Jessie like to comb his hair
Hanacek is on the wagon, I tried not to speak today

[Chorus:]
You slip and fall they pick you up and throw you down again
I left them there and found them here
I was rarely smart enough to dodge the careless words
You find them everywhere it breaks you into two

Emily had sex with Joey
Chris is weird he must be gay
Everyone is smoking h and I tried not to laugh today
Every word you hear you repeat
Every word you repeat you change
Here's a quarter there's a phone, why don't you call someone who cares

[Chorus]

I left them there and found them here, it breaks me into two

"Narrow Straits"
(tribute to Lynn Strait)

"Narrow Straits"
(tribute to Lynn Strait)



I want to mute the scene
Stop the clocks, turn them off
And feel your silence
Shut their mouths, block my ears
And I wanna hear
Of some way or down and out
And all else is separation
My watches when you heave
For the last
In a conscious moment
I could live in uncertain regret
Here in the past
My choose blanks memories and more
You clearly made me think that I had something to live for
Buried in the dirt
So I will dig and pull the fleet
For once I believe
And may you pray for me
Our worlds ran parallel
An indefinite promise to meet
Divided
And a colored frustration
As I enter the vault you breach
Unsubsided
Hit firm

"Never Stops"

"Never Stops"


I'm all right
Tell me you're all right
Almost there
Barely here

I knew that this day would have to come
Wailing on the wall
Watching giants fall
I know there's a message to receive
Written in debris
It's meaning's hard to see
The loss of innocence
Means nothing in the new world
All our hands are red
Everyone is guilty now

I'm all right
Tell me you're all right
Stop my eyes...
Open wide

Another idiot glued to the box
Frozen to the screen
Scared to turn it off
Quiet shock gives way to righteousness
Rattle on the bars
Vengeance will be ours
Fanatics on their knees
Pray for a swift and just revenge
Become what they condemn
Mirror image men

Hands across America, let's catch contact hysteria
Our flag erects from broken homes, July 4 for evermore
Colors of democracy
Fly from every SUV
The misspelled bumper sticker's here
Where did all the honor students go?

Numbers on the news
This time with familiar names
This time on familiar ground
This reality in your back yard
So the fences fall
Will you redefine them all?
Will you choose shelter or empathy?
The world we share has come too close
With borders blown from glass
We collect stones and cast them

They say the party never stops
But I know we cannot get off

Another idiot comes on the box
Breathing privileged air
Preaching to the fair
Rallying one muscle under God
Leading on the cheer
Leaning on their fears

The state of ignorance means nothing to the faithful
God is with us now
They disregard the world beyond the wall
