Well Played Wrong Move

If you can't be a scapegoat
then what good is your innocent look
If it only arouses inhibitions?
Living a life in spite of suspicions
Of clever little lies that tell the difference
Between where we have been and where we're going.
Just please stop thinking you're right
and I'll stop thinking:"Could you be anywhere else but here?
Is there any way?"
I never leave a candle burning unless i mean to return to
ignition, crescendo
I've convinced myself of answers to the questions
and I'm not the last one that i'm still waiting to become
what's worthwhile in denial
severed ties, strip the title
water burns this fire
it's you i need to rescue
one well played wrong move
away
this is the ghost that's chosen me

Don't Hold Back

Don't hold back
The edges look like me
Light bending colors bleed
A view askew so as not to allow
Another shade but I paint how
I see it not so different
I'm not innocent just dissonant
I spend half my time in pursuit of the other half
I've drowned several times in defense of my ignorance
and hope isn't gleaming in my eyes
for what we've become is not something to boast
we don't believe in anything that won't make a difference
we don't belong in this makeshift place of pain
what if our heroes died
and just became their graves
when we visit they'd hear what we say
You were the one to waste it
Change is failing, i am welcoming
Was I dreaming this demise?
This end of times at least for my eyes
I can reach right into those eyes
and draw the shades
phrase an empty innuendo back to back
with others made
and carefully sipping truth like wine
you say "lets have this all the time"
and there's not even a question
in fact, it's never spoke of again
If I could just remember
how it all got started
To see if where it ended
makes any sense at all
Do you remember how it started?
Don't hold back
do you know how far weve come
to mark these graves to come undone
to watch a star burn to the ground
an avalanche without a sound
do you see this violent dream
eclipsing those who tried to believe
now you know how far we've come
to find these graves to overcome
I will reach right into those eyes
and draw the shades
as if to stay intact
an image of abstract
And carefully, so carefully
A dream might have meant more
at one time
but now it's never spoke of again
Don't hold back

Offended, Maybe?

if i haven't offended you i'm certain it'll happen soon
if i haven't don't worry i just gotta dig deep into
i don't belong in this hell, this shell
i'm not meant for the everyday judgements and enemies
freedom is not about ending the pain
it's about being the one who inflicts it
if you're held down for too long
to remember what's wrong
if life could be a little more I could be a little more
and i can tell a little more's to blame
than i can see, it's perfectly
divided provided
you're not the ones they wanna see
If it plays out like its planned. just as its written, I think
they're gonna be a little disappointed, nothing more. nothing gained
I can't relive the pain so I'm content to dwell on the hate
apologies unlikely. a little bit too late
bit too late

Not even the stars
transcend the impending
perishing of the moon
fraught with contempt
the sun is birthed over a still-born world
which none can comprehend
no, not even the stars
Look up at the stars begin to fade away
ignore the monsters lurking the dark today
We could all perish tonight so have the time of your life
while you're here cuz in the blink of an eye
Nature runs it's course without offering you any remorse
Life is a deadly sport and it can trigger a deadly force
The name of the game is mix pleasure with pain
we complain when it rains but we're not willing to change
Just like the universe we're all gonna perish
it's a birthright that we all inherit
it's sad we gotta go our different ways
but there's nothing you can do
and nothing you can say that can change
that you'll sit back and relax, yea
blaze up a fat one for them cataracts
I can honestly say it's been one hell of a ride
so when it's my time to go, i'm just happy i got to be alive
chyea!!
I met a lot of cool people
I've loved and lost and, yea, been able to feel
lots of ups and downs, lots of smiles and frowns
seen some beautiful things, like my wife in a wedding gown
it all goes by so fast, you look back and laugh
at the stupid shit that you did in the past
and before you know it's your time to go

Us vs. Them

It was a smart line
from a young mind
not too bold
understated
i need to see this thru to the end
living well to serve a revenge
so cold and blue and perfect
all mine
I've grown to understand
a basic plan in the hearts of man
and I haven't seen a means of reprieve
as sound waves intervene for me
disperse and restore
no hesitation, what you cowards are looking for
what you'll find if you're
willing to wait and save the time
bottle it up and decline divine
distant so distant
So quick to judge and sentence
Strike first then ask the questions
There's just no point when we're all stranded
We're no different no matter what we're handed
just stop
And we've got a few mistakes to make
We'll make them day by day
It's either that or be afraid
And thats not the way
At least we believe
This doesn't add up.
When we're divided we're inspired
To point a finger, to blame another
I think we're all to blame...
its why we hate with such reckless abandon
It's become you against me
And us vs. them
I get so scared when i see
how strong hate is when it's free
to make some choices for itself
it's us vs. them
It was a smart line
from a young mind
not too bold
understated
I remain clouded, torn
I sustain the same
I remain clouded
but I'm still here
you think it doesn't matter who they are
hate hate hate hate
but we're the same as them
you're the same as us
you have to trust it doesn't matter
wait wait wait wait
your end's the same as theirs
just stop

under your breath
is that supposed to be sly?
i'm not shy if i gotta be
that's a side i don't wanna see
but when living with a circumstance
enthusiastic underclass
i'd say thanks for the
chance to make things right
but I got more love for dark than light.
you want to talk about not giving a shit?
but then it's so important if you're not heard?
and lately haters won't shut up, shut up, shut up
overworked, rehearsed
i've gotta leave it with the realization...
I need you right here holding strong
Even when the truth is looking wrong
yes please, i haven't said goodbye enough yet
what matters most is out of my hands
oh please, i'm out, i've just one excuse
and it matters that no one understands
hate is a lit match
it sputters and pops and drowns
leaving only ash and a shell and a memory
of a smooth and deliberate crown
fear is the blessing you make it
when you choke it into the perfect fit
tear it out from soft and sacred
make it bleed make it bleed
you said your fire will burn
as bright as a savior
but your hate shines thru
as your favorite failure
shut up shut up shut up
one piece at a time

It's not worth another scar
But it's been part of a war
that I've been meaning to win
But the odds are everything
But everything isn't anything
There is no real meaning
It's not as complicated as indicated
Just don't give up
I won't be anywhere far away
these colder days will fade away
A change
Save me
A hate
Not unlike the fear
It's all creeping in sincere
Scaring me to death
There's not a right or a wrong word
that needs to be said
to be sure of what's meant
We're not claiming any more
It's all been found now we just wage war
But nobody will calm down
And listen for a new sound
Listen for a message
Listen for an ending
If you wanna be serious
don't let it seep into your daily convictions
Endless and coincidentally
I'm not enough to blame, but that is good to hear
Because I thought I might have been the name
That was spoken and unintentionally
I look forward
This night is getting late
I won't be anywhere far away
These colder days
Will fade away
A change
Save me
A hate
Not unlike the fear
It's all creeping in sincere
