At Our Lowest
02:42
|
|||
Here we go again
Charging head first into opposing wind
With nowhere to run to
At our lowest when we all fall
who's there to catch us, to bear it all
Late night chasing tail lights
waiting for inspiration to strike
Any indication that things will be alright
At our lowest when we all fall
who's there to catch us, to bear it all
I'll be here waiting for you to call
It's never too late, we'll carry on

Wit's End
01:59
|

Standing at my wit’s end, nodding in reply
Searching for the correlation between what was said and what you’re driving at
We’re sick to death of your clever tropes
You’re half as interesting as your tired jokes
I never thought I’d have to say this
I never thought I’d have to say this
As many times, as you heard you’re wrong
You never stop to think that you cause the problems you’re trying to solve
It’s useless I’m done spinning my wheels
It’s time to pack up and move on, there’s nothing left to salvage here
I never thought I’d have to say this
I never thought I’d have to say this

Never Worse
03:40

I’m a freight train
Expecting the rail to bend to me
Willing the ties to break
Longing for the ballast to wash away
Worthless effigy
Better crumbling
I wish I felt better
But I've never felt worse
Always hoping for the positive and thinking I’m cursed
Outside I’m fine, but inside I’m dying
Faking it, rotting from the inside out
Clinging to the narrative drowning in doubt
Outside I’m fine, but inside I’m dying
How can I ask you
To tell me what you need
When I’m not even capable of
Processing my own feelings
My punishment for all of this
Is knowing every night
When I close my eyes to get some rest
I’ll toss and turn knowing that you’re right
Worthless effigy
Better crumbling
I wish I felt better
But I've never felt worse
Always hoping for the positive and thinking I’m cursed
Outside I’m fine, but inside I’m dying
Faking it, rotting from the inside out
Clinging to the narrative drowning in doubt
Outside I’m fine, but inside I’m dying

Night sweats on the middle bench seat
So much Pabst I can barely see
Staggering around palm tree lined streets
8AM and eighty degrees
Rolling in on life support
Third coffee on a two hour drive
Lungs full of death and secondhand smoke
Not sure all five of us will survive
Forty more beers and three more shows
Eighty bands down only twenty to go
Everyone in Gainesville looks like someone I know
Terry’s posted up at Fest wrestling
Norm's looking for a set to smash
Bobby’s wandering around Bo Diddley
Dan's looking for a place to crash
Rolling in on life support
Third coffee on a two hour drive
Lungs full of death and secondhand smoke
Not sure all five of us will survive
Forty more beers and three more shows
Eighty bands down only twenty to go
Everyone in Gainesville looks like someone I know
Night sweats on the middle bench seat
So much Pabst I can barely see
Staggering around palm tree lined streets
8AM and eighty degrees
Forty more beers and three more shows
Eighty bands down only twenty to go
Everyone in Gainesville looks like someone I know

Future Killer

Have wildfires, burning forests changed your day to day
Poverty anxiety what’s it mean to me
Do human rights and distant fights affect my bottom line
And from their towers they wield the power but not for you and me
The world is shaking has its breaking brought you to your knees
But can you hear that voice it’s screaming to break free
We’re all bursting at the seams
To breathe new life into a dead dead world
We’re breaking out, we’re breaking out
We’re breaking out from your control
Tired orders hateful borders to separate our lives
Once a friend but now a foe can't you hear the lies
Now it’s profits over planet they can’t see past today
Did the bomb that hit your village say “made in the USA"
The world is shaking has its breaking brought you to your knees
But can you hear that voice it’s screaming to break free
We’re all bursting at the seams
To breathe new life into a dead dead world
We’re breaking out, we’re breaking out
We’re breaking out from your control

Perspective
03:06
|

The man I am now, not the boy that I was then
I’ve caused as much distrust as I have made amends
The hard work comes when it’s time to forgive yourself and separate
My life is perspective
It’s been changing over time
As I age, I wonder
How much do I have left
When will time catch up with me
Keep my body in a state of disrepair
Watch me lose my graying matted hair
Circles under my eyes, a version of a man I hoped I’d be eventually
My life is perspective
It’s been changing over time
As I age, I wonder
How much do I have left
When will time catch up with me

A thoughtful mind walks away from this life
Leaving all the pain and strife
Inherent human nature strives
To live for good but everybody dies
It leaves me thinking every time
Why this common bond doesn’t unify
To push apart with a wedge between
Like an impassive ghost to never intervene
We’ve got our whole short lives
To get ready to die
But when we look back
We want to know that
We left our marks behind
All those years back when we were just kids
We could never understand what the adults did
To learn about war and all those people who had died
was enough to make us want to run and hide
Now we’re grown up and it’s the same
But in this life you’ve gotta seize the reins
To end the violence and suffering
Like an old departed friend once said to me
We’ve got our whole short lives
To get ready to die
But when we look back
We want to know that
We left our marks behind

Defeated
02:34
|
|||
Been chewing on glass all night
Working on turning it back to sand
Grinding my teeth, still at it for weeks
Falling forward in time
I look defeated
I must have nothing to look forward to
Sitting waiting disappointed
Just like you
Spent my whole life up to this point
Trying to drown everything out
Spent my days waiting for night
So I could rinse, repeat
I look defeated
I must have nothing to look forward to
Sitting waiting disappointed
Just like you

Dreamer
02:42
|

You've been wearing lots of blues and grays
Why don't you come out and say it
I've been absent, distracted, neglectful and distant
I had a life that fulfilled me but now it just drags me down
I'll never chase another dream ever
I can't, I won't
I'll never chase another dream ever
This one last time I'm done
I'll never chase another dream ever
OK once more, I'm through
I'll never chase another dream ever
This rat race gets exhausting
And introspection seems hardly worth it
I've spent most of my life wasted on fruitless endeavours
But I wouldn't have it any other way
I'll never chase another dream ever
I can't, I won't
I'll never chase another dream ever
This one last time I'm done
I'll never chase another dream ever
OK once more, I'm through
I'll never chase another dream ever

Retreat
02:40
|
|||
Being everything you can to everyone else
While trying to be the change you want to see in yourself
It’s hard enough to keep on breathing
Hold the pieces together, a smile waning
You’re at a loss
You’re retreating
You spend all your nights rethinking
All the bad fights
All your fuck ups
And your shit luck
Relief isn’t coming, it’s just out of reach
But I’ll chase it down with you on this sunbleached concrete
Until the wheels warp and the tires explode
Our bodies tossed to the side of the road
You’re at a loss
You’re retreating
You spend all your nights rethinking
All the bad fights
All your fuck ups
And your shit luck

Laundry list of flaws
Like I set out to employ them
The only time I’m completely honest
A mechanism just to shrowd them
My garbage mouth
My poisoned mind
My bloodshot eyes
And my crooked tongue
Live hard, die slow
Live sad, die miserable
I was a self-professed useless mess
Not aware my life was falling apart
In need of a direction a place to refocus
This frantic energy inside of me
It’s so much easier to be resentful
Than to see the other side of the coin
It’s so much easier to loathe the sunrise
Than appreciate another day to be alive
Welcome the warmth on your skin
It’s harder to change course than to just sit back
Let every week roll over you and still you stay the same
Live hard, die slow
Live sad, die miserable
Sway with me
Avoid incoming misery
Spend my days
Outrunning inevitable
Live hard, die slow
Live sad, die miserable
