Walking the same road day after day
Doesn’t it get boring not knowing the way?
You see yourself as doing just fine
I see a kid who can’t walk a straight line
Ignore what you follow and choose not to care
Next time around you’ll be sorry you’re there
Maybe you’ll see me maybe you won’t
Maybe if I gave a fuck but I don’t
You say you do but you don’t understand
When do the lies end?
Failure to hold anything but the bag
Failure to see anything but a drag

Idiosyncratic Routine
03:01

if you dont want it you can turn and walk away
theres nothing holding you here no reason to stay
ive given up on giving in to whats accepted
and called it quits on trying to be what you expected
Taking out the parts that matter
killing time with empty space
Life is short theres no escaping death
How can you stand in line wait for your final breath
stop counting down the days until your day is here
stop this idiosyncratic routine of fear
youre making choices but there far from making progress
indiscriminate consumption wasteful in excess
would the guilty party please stand up or raise a hand
is it what you had in mind is this what you had planned
Ability to focus lost
Psychological mistrust
Life is short theres no escaping death
How can you stand in line wait for your final breath
stop counting down the days until your day is here
stop this idiosyncracy
Life is short theres no escaping death
How can you stand in line wait for your final breath
stop counting down the days until your day is here
stop this idiosyncratic routine of fear

A Matter of Non-Fiction

This war has just begun
It's taking one by one
Disloyal subversion loyal dissent
all formality aside
Two foundations collide
Dividing lines that define what it meant
The aftermath a silent scream
that we all heard
Freedom passed by here today
I stared but didn't say a word
The possibilities are endless
Fighting constant wars are senseless
Point your finger remain blameless
Assume every action
Equal or opposite
Has purpose because of its design
A momentary lapse in time
A slight hesitation
Two bombs into buildings would ignite
The ashes left like snow on screen
Of a black and white movie
Freedom could not find a word
I spoke but it could only see
The possibilities are endless
Fighting constant wars are senseless
Point your finger remain blameless

Short Stories

It's time to wake up
and smell the coffee
I need some speed to help me start the day
it's time to make up
all my excuses
to help me lack responsibility
I never wanted to think for myself
a nine to five stay in good health
a wife and kids affordable used cars
and working for a boss I hate
for thirty years till it's too late
to see the lives we've lived aren't really ours
it's not like you killed me
I saw myself slowly die inside you
what's left is all we have our memories
past present few
the time of your life
it's just another short story
I always wanted to aspire
to reach goals a little higher
than the average person would care to explore
but can I help my fellow man
by playing in a punk rock band
and never really wanting any more?
it's not like you killed me
I saw myself slowly die inside you
what's left is all we have our memories
past present few
the time of your life
it's just another short story

All these moments are just memories
stricken from some thought
replaced then sold and bought
what difference does it make that he believes
follows what he knowsnever will oppose
its all he's had it's all he'll ever need
the truth is clear following the lead
one thing preachers don't preach is the truth
and I don't think that faith
faith should be the reason
reason to concede that there is nothing more
it's all they know and they won't find the answer
atheist with nothing to believe
opposed to what he's heard
every single word
what difference does it make that he believes
this is all there is for everyone that lives
its all he's had it's all he'll ever need
the truth is clear following the lead
only cares what happens to himself
and I don't think that faith
faith should be the reason
reason to concede that there is nothing more
it's all they know and they won't find the answer
it's not losing faith it's just losing tradition
catholiholics all drunk off religion
time is against us and so are false threats
fearful needless leaders all placing their bets

Help Wanted

Angel of sorrow that shone like the sun
Her wingspan could encompass all save one
Turn your back on your life forget who you are
Watching you burn out like a shooting star
Twice as bright half as long
Its the thoughts spoken only in darkness
the confessions that no one will hear
its the moment before the end
when things become perfectly clear
Any last words one final request
If someone would just save her life
Help her survive and lay her to rest
Now it approaches the final descent
To close to turn back now to far to repent
With the thoughts of a million you've chosen just one
No one can stop you so just turn and run
Doesn't it make you feel good?
its the masochist dormant inside us
the blood from the wound running cold
its the moment you give in to death
watching life release its hold
Any last words one final request
If someone could just save her life
Help her survive and lay her to rest
Any last words one final request
If someone could just save her life
Help her survive
any last words

A little overwhelmed and really uninspired
Actions don’t speak anymore their words are tired
Alarms are deafening
As the air raid sirens sing
This is not the end but it’s coming soon
Standing on the brink of our impending doom
Then back to square one
But try to tell anyone
You get a blank stare and nobody to care
of incomprehension and it’s killing everyone
All you need to know is what you’re told
No sense of self no story to unfold
Try not to think for yourself
It could be hazardous to your health
Let everybody tell you how to live
See how much they take away before they give
It’s a strange mentality
Assume false security
You get a blank stare and nobody to care
of incomprehension and it’s killing everyone
Go back to sleep it was all a dream nothing you should fear
Everything’s okay go outside and play just stay somewhere near
Reality’s insane

California was okay
but I really wouldn't want to stay
hate the people love the weather
got skin cancer going to sue whoever
but to me it's just a place that I call home
how many hand jobs could you give?
is that really how you want to live?
heads up asses of social classes
trying to get a piece of that proverbial pie
but to me it's just a place that I call home
cause to me it's just a place that I call home
yeah, for me it's just a place

When is Liberte?
04:25

Who can I trust and how can you tell
Is this life we are living in hell
Full of contempt and remorse
Seems like par for the course
What good is a choice if unwilling to choose
Cause by default succession we lose
Half keeping hopeful alive
Paid to take our own dive
When is the time to do something now
Should I bother to even ask how
Empty I stumble around
Can’t find permanent ground
Where do the broke and promises stay
Have they quietly been tucked away
Nothing to fear or to doubt
Be silent or shout
Something went wrong this was going just fine
It just takes the right pressure to fall out of line
Maybe I failed to see
the problem was me
There is only so much left to say
Before the feeling fades and no ones wants to play
Sometimes you laugh sometimes you’re free
Sometimes the worst parts for you
Were the worst parts for me
Why question anything x7
This life support system is failing
