1. Back and Forth
I’ve hit an overdrive
For a while
Of this I’m certain
Crack smiles and hold the line
Fortified by what we’ve learned
Reacted
Retracted
Comes down to mincing words
I’m looking for the times
We couldn’t grind
Hope you get yours
It’s harder just to let go
Than sitting here surrounded by what
Surely is the end
It’s harder just to let go
But I will not sit around and watch it
This will not be the end
I’ve heard a thousand lies
To my surprise
I could believe you
One solid renegade you will remain
To keep me checked
I want it
You own it
Won’t steal but I’d love to share
I’ve hit an overdrive
For a while I won’t come down
It’s harder just to let go
Than sitting here surrounded by what
Surely is the end
It’s harder just to let go
But I will not sit around and watch it
This will not be the end
We all want for something, but you want it all
I don’t care, why should you?
2. Considerations
I’m feeling reckless today
And not taking considerations
The only question is not what chaos you can make
But what disaster it takes you
To get yourself away
From all the things you do
And if you wanted to stay
And those leanings were untrue
You’d get lost in the fire of you
It’s been ten years to the day
Since starting your degradation
A decade marked by a hard steel rod through your face
Another plugged in your veins
So you can throw yourself away
With all the things you do
And if you wanted to say
That normal was uncool
You’d get lost in the fire of your own youth
3. Starboard
When you think back on all the good times
Does it line up with everything you want?
And you steal my bravado
Steal my bravado out from the ground
And you steal my bravado
Steal my bravado out from the ground
When you think back on all the bad times
Does it line up with everything you’re not?
And your name is still my motto
Your name is still inscribed on the starboard bow
And your name is still my motto
Your name is still inscribed on the starboard bow
And you steal my soul when you’re away
When you think back on everything else
Well, which side of the spectrum are you on?
Do you think you’ve won the lotto?
Or do you have a lot of sorrow to swallow down?
Do you think you’ve won the lotto?
Or do you have a lot of sorrow to swallow down?
And you steal my soul when you’re away
4. Nothing Doing
I got myself into a fight
What did I say?
It’s nothing doing
I heard you say you were alright
That’s fine
I don’t believe you
We go to bed and say goodnight
High time
For some complaining
For every rule there is a crime
And I like
To find the meaning
But it’s making me dull
And it’s putting us all at odds with the world
But it’s making me dull
And it’s taking up all my time
But it’s making me dull
And it’s putting us all at odds with the world
But it’s making me dull
And it’s taking up all my time
I got myself into a fight
What did I say?
It’s nothing doing
I heard you say you were alright
That’s fine
I don’t believe you
We shut the door and hit the lights
High time
For some back-seat blaming
For every truth there is a lie
And I like
To find the meaning
But it’s making me dull
5. The Big Sleaze
Try stepping on a wave sent to catch the sun
As it darts your gaze
Sustained remission of your brain as it sets to hunt
Where to place the blame
I’m alright, no defenses here
Just sit tight, a purpose will come near
Try stepping on the way to a simple life
Far from the flames
Let’s build a mountain
It’ll be our grave
Let’s build that mountain
We pour ourselves into a place that we both create
And it seems okay
It’s alright, you couldn’t cause this mess
I won’t fight, you are not worth the stress
With no degree of care, we just separate
To start repairs
Let’s build a mountain
It’ll be our grave
Let’s build that mountain
(Try stepping on a wave)
(Sustained remission of your brain)
6. Witness
Down
Shut it down
Shut it down
Forever, ’til you get what you want
A hundred miles is a long way to crawl
Dish it out
Dish it out
You’re never gonna get what you want
A hundred lies is the wrong way to fall into my heart
Seeing is believing when you’re a fake
Seeing is believing when you’re a fake
Seeing is believing when you’re a fake
Seeing is believing it
