I've been thinking about doing nothing Spending the rest of my days not moving Wasting every breath that I'm taking Committing to being totally useless I heard that you spent time Spent hundreds of hours

Check Crosshair Overloaded Images floatin Far too fast to nest in your brain So you won't question Or learn no lessons See no moral for you to take And I will break Your empathy away With this Trigger warning So you ignore it You can't see what chose to hide But if you had witnessed This grand vision You'd be certain of your demise And I will break Your empathy away With this

Fire, flames Guitars with names That's who is left to defend your place in time You sold your soul to defend rock and roll But now she has gone and revealed to you the lie You could try to repeat all those lines Venue shut down, bands run out of town But you think that it's your right to stick around It's your life Curse all the kids and their lo-fi shit It can't stand up to your studio rig But why deny them that right? To prove that they too have seen the light I've got a truck worth a million bucks With a flat right tire the radio sucks We could get a couple miles 'fore we run out of gas What's the difference when it happens, we pull over or crash You kissed and you told, thought you'd never get old Not once in your life did you ever miss a show But now... All that is left is the low-grade thefts Sellin the same damn song that you sent But somehow you're still lost in that sound And you wonder if you'll ever figure it out I've got a truck worth a million bucks With a flat right tire the radio sucks We could get a couple miles 'fore we run out of gas What's the difference when it happens, we pull over or crash Got a couple tapes that I wish you could hear Worked on 'em every day for the past couple years Left 'em in the rack and a few on the dash I know that when you hear 'em you'll pull over or crash

Christ called and he wants his ring back So he can prove that he's a Super Bowl champ I deign to give up my power to thee Sponcon at the spite convention Write that one down I need your full retention Half-off if you know which words to repeat Once you know how to let yourself go Now you owe it to everyone else To be well, to be something they can sell Criss cross til your words have meaning One wants solutions, others to sleep easy Your credit card may have met it's final match Sports are for suckers, any takers? Entrance to heaven's for the hall of famers You thought you'd make it if you never learned to catch So what's the path of least resistance? Cause I caught a glimmer of light through that fence In my defense, I don't fear anything Once you start to second guess Your work for hollowed men Who sleep on sheets Soft and neat While they tell you That your art, Your soul's obsolete You're becoming a transition That speaks to something You can't define And if it touches Aspects of living That you'd been given Thought to leave behind Then you are careful A quiet judgement A tender loving That's unrefined You are a preacher Held back by nothing Let that complete ya So what's your price? So what's your price?

Cracks 02:56
Felt a lump in my throat A comfort I know Like a bad joke And what was that old quote? About the speed of the growth Fast flowers bloom alone Make a mountain, make a mound Out of those lost things that you found Leave it under an ancient curse Oh well You know you've had it worse These days pain comes greatly As if that might save me From something that I know well, too well Maybe a vision of a new hell, I can't tell I stare, it stares back at me Vision blackening Ripe with apathy Cracks in the mirror on your TV screen Cracks in the light that ignites your apathy Cracks in the mirror on your TV screen Cracks in the light that ignites your reality

Well the radio's playing the backfill And I wanted to take you back there Where we started from I had a good dang solution It was stopped up by institutions What were they running from? We don't mean to be distracted Call it an overreaction to the factions who disables all the ways we can create Expressive conversations From the umpire frustrated With the enforcement Of this archaic shit We wanted better than tradition That new yearly edition Of swift punishment From confidents I called it when they called you out Said to abnegation, we're devout Can't figure out Why they'd rather break it down Then I heard that I'm the foool Then I saw That I'm the fool Then I knew That I'm the fool

Lucky 04:44
I am lucky Lucky to love you Tonight I remember pink tones at the foot of your bed Tripping over every syllable deal that you said Wishing I had some kind of package deal Anything that might broaden my appeal to you And my phone won't stop going off but it's just the news And you've left me rendered silent so it's something to do Instead of soaking up your view I am lucky Lucky to love you Tonight It was mediocre the way I tried to impress Fretting over everything that I slipped over my head Practicing for hours some kind of fictional speech And imagining you'd have your own for me I think my friends said I'm obsessed but I was checking my texts Hoping at least one would come from you in response to my last sent Just a picture of a cat or something to make you laugh And I felt that quiet again I am lucky Lucky to love you Tonight

Waking Right into another dream when You look at your window, you're still quarantined Dampen your disappointments Your fears have been appointed By the grey colored sky Waiting for signs from someone you can't see While all that we need gets help up with receipts That no one could ever reject honestly Unless you connect all those heads to the same source of feed Shall we cast them to darkness? While they steer us from greatness How could it be those who say we are free Are the very souls who stole while we waited for relief They turned their cheeks Spent your whole life thinking you'd be fine Like you were selected for a frictionless time Until you died Well that was a lie
9.
Squid 02:41
Somewhere in the sunset There's a magical word that keeps me from losing my head I heard you repeating until my ears were bleeding Just to keep me from filling with dread Saw you took another one Just couldn't let that go In a dream-like parking lot I shook your hand In return I felt a mass You looked me in the eyes Said this shit is powerful Make sure you let this one last Couldn't tell you how it felt To be somewhere else right then You know there's no use in counting What's the use in trying to pretend?

Sergei 03:02
Sergei's playing that new film again And no one understands it And no one understands him Repeats the crucial scenes Explains them metaphorically Erases all of our blank faces He has these ancient thoughts He knows he must keep bottled up In spite of our trusting growing new love He saves them for a day They don't get in his fucking way And if that morning comes Fulfills a prophecy of none And when those lights go off inside his head He'll get over it, he says And if that darkness shows its face again He'll get under it instead (Extreme reality dreams) (Horror movie screams) (Echo distantly) Sergei came to me with problems that he couldn't speak Drew a picture of his curse Made it a million times worse And now I'm hostage to this ever toxic point of view In my brain Smog thicker as the time fades And I can't help but think that someone should do anything Providing The details aren't paralyzing The last I saw my friend He left my place Said never again Don't know what he's doing now And I sure hope I don't find out

Solidarity 06:15
Cause I've been waiting for Waiting for my time to come For that last breath to leave my lungs I've been waiting for it Some nights I think it's close My thoughts tighten in my throats My garden lays overgrown And my spirit quits Until I get juices flowin again Bridges closed and burnin The thought just wares me out That I might Keep doing this for my life Keep doing this til I die Breaking the whole way down What are you waiting for? To find the perfect metaphor? You've got one life, so make it a bore Make it a snoozefest Cause if the answers come Will they be gentle as they leave my lungs? Will they empty me and leave me numb? With years of regret Cause I've been Pushing forward again Making myself useless One note at a time Cause what they want Is something that can be taught Analyzed and redrawn To be commodified No more punk No more ministers It's only missionary From now on No more guitars No more squabbling It's only solidarity From now on
