Social Arsonist

Classically trained in all thing cantankerous
A lunatic not provocative
Prone to a constant state of a bullshit agitation
A heretic with no nemesis
Satirical wit with drunken lips
Chastise the meek for their dull and provincial simplification
Everybody knows
It's a mad mad mad mad mad mad world
Where chaos is rule
Love is confused
Everybody knows
It's a mad mad mad mad mad mad world
Keep playing the fool
Delusion looks so cool
The holy the damned
With their capricious intentions
Logic-based fills the days with a lethargy and a hue of reciprocal depression
The magnificent, slaves and lords to mechanics
Utopian vows cloud the now
Always getting ran straight over when you're standing in memory lane
Everybody knows
It's a mad mad mad mad mad mad world
Where chaos is rule
Love is confused
Everybody knows
It's a mad mad mad mad mad mad world
Keep playing the fool
Delusion looks so cool

The Prophet
04:18

I sat next to the barstool prophet
Heard the epic tales of deceit
With a poisoned heart full of transgression
He spoke some kind of knowledge to keep
Like, reserve your strength and perseverance for when you're lost and cannot see
Your innocence will be tragically taken by the bounty hunter known as greed
You can spend this life fighting for the reason to justify repeated defeats
While the winners win, the losers will watch as their dreams slip into the abyss
A boxer fears a man's resolve, not the blows from his mighty fists
Keeps his head down low until he knows that courage is the form of a risk
And the truth is
There is truth in anything you believe
I've found truth in chasing the cold facts
How nothing's quite like it seems
Oh and death
I can smell it on your breath
It's the deal you can't appeal
Cauterized by blood and steel
The sentence given to you by your birth
Diagnosed with this curse
It's the same direction we all have in common
No forms of protection or oath to honor
Will deflect this destined fate
And the truth is
There is truth in anything you believe
I've found truth in chasing the cold facts
How nothing's quite like it seems
As I sat next to the barstool prophet
Heard the epic tales of defeat
With a crowded heart full of contemplation
He watches as the cycle repeats

Millennial Daze

We were invincible (forever, forever)
So deft with our touch (Always together)
Hung time on a hook and drank from the ever-flowing fountain of forever lust
Hot ass and traces of youth
Follow those trees
Forgotten names mark the prettiest spaces in the civil cemeteries
Pet my water panther
Old myths die hard
Run run horizons
I'm screaming, "Save me Hollywood!"
La la la la la la the song goes on
There's a royal road to the unconscious
We're all modern beast in Camelot
Riders ride for the journeys sights
You can lose all of your defenses
Let your freak flag fly
Doped up on stranger and fame
Throwing fake parades
Screaming, "Oh my god this is totally awesome living in the sunset days!"
Pet my water panther
Old myths die hard
Run run horizons
I'm screaming, "Save me Hollywood!"
La la la la la la the song goes on
There's a royal road to the unconscious
We're all modern beast in Camelot

Thief
04:23
|

Have you heard
How the sky is falling
Holding on to our unseen eyes
Never gave a day to the right kind of light
Have you heard
We put a man on the moon
Just to default to sad and depressed
From the comfort of a solitary room
Disconnected discontent
Entertained by parlor tricks
See them all crave the fame
Feel jealous and ashamed
Silent watchers growing in the blue light of a dark and twisted fantasy
Repetitive, endless content, repress
Feel nostalgia, feel disdain
Interconnected, never engaged
It takes a lot of effort not to be free
Every moment is so brief
Will someone please stop the thief
Have you heard
This is all a performance
Acted out wearing different masks
Sacred rituals and social dances
Disconnected discontent
Entertained by parlor tricks
See them all crave the fame
Feel jealous and ashamed
Silent watchers growing in the blue light of a dark and twisted fantasy
Repetitive, endless content, repress
Feel nostalgia, feel disdain
Interconnected, never engaged
It takes a lot of effort not to be free
Every moment is so brief
Will someone please stop the thief

Walking Down the Grain
04:57
|

Don't want to bite my lip
While I hold my tongue
Who says that I can't get stoned?
Lace up my shoes
Walk straight out the door
Head for a place where time stands still
Walking down the grain
Clouds are heavy, the fields are praying for the rain
Sun is falling while credits rolling
Exit the frame right stage
Days turn over
Repeat
There's a songbird singing
A mother father screaming
Who says we can define love?
Where I'm going my roads lead to nowhere
My home will have no doors
And I'll be
Walking down the grain
Clouds are heavy, the fields are praying for the rain
Sun is falling while credits rolling
Exit the frame right stage
Months march onward
Repeat
Give me that place to go
Where I can be alone
And grieve for all the half lived dreams
There is not enough time in this lifetime to be the kind of man to be
I'll be
Walking down the grain
Clouds are heavy, the fields are praying for the rain
Sun is falling while credits rolling
Exit the frame right stage
Years move on and on and on
And I stand here looking back
On all the time that I had waisted
And the choices I'll never get back
So when I go I'm going empty
No trills
I'm everything and worry free
