Manifesto

At the rate I'm runnin', I'm surely done in,
Guess I'll go out with a bang
Why bother now
At the speed I'm goin' there's no knowin'
So come what ever may
To bring me down
I keep tellin' myself I'll be okay
Just another little hit to get through the day
I can tell myself I'm not the same
As often as I like but nothings changed
So what can I put on paper to save my soul
And set my ledgers back in black?
All of the debts I owe and the lies I told
An overloaded train flying off the tracks
I ask myself how I keep these things at bay
Just another little hit to get through the day
I ask myself how I keep from going insane
Just another little hit to get through the day
So what can I put on paper to save my soul
And set my ledgers back in black?
All of the debts I owe and the lies I told
An overloaded train flying off the tracks
With twenty bridges burning, the last one's soaked in gas
I'm crossing at the middle and I strike-light my last match
With any bit of luck I'll be dead by the time it lands
To erase and scrape away the remains of this thing I am

Call Me A Liar
04:40

One more step
In the wrong direction,
Could send me over the edge and
Past the point of no return
I won't let
Myself fail to surprise you,
This much I can't deny you,
For you I'd gladly burn
Cause you've been to hell and back, you've got the wounds to prove
Punished on my behalf, beat down and broken and bruised
You walked through fire, they made an example of you,
Call me a liar, I'll give you my best excuse
Call me a liar [Oh oh oh], call me a liar [Oh oh oh]
Laying in the wreck,
Seeing red I fade to black here,
Wrestling with regrets and old fears,
Another page I've yet to turn
Raise me up, back towards the surface,
Never thought I could serve your purpose,
But I wish that I would learn
It hurts like a heart attack, try to hide it but I see right through,
Soul’s slowly growing black, from all of the constant abuse
I'll do all in my power, this time I swear it's the truth
Call me a liar, and worse and see if you get through
Call me a liar [Oh oh oh], call me a liar [Oh oh oh]
It hurts like a heart attack, try to hide it but I see right through
Souls slowly growing black, from all of the constant abuse
I'll do all in my power, this time I swear it's the truth
Call me a liar, I'll give you my best excuse
Call me a liar, and worse and see if you get through
Call me a liar [Oh oh oh], call me a liar [Oh oh oh]

Sick Seas
04:01
|

I don't know, if you've noticed, but we're inching, sliding, edging ever closer
To a state that we, that we can't control
All these black skies, politics, lies, unused puppets dangling limply from their strings,
Seems about time now to clean out this house
I'll throw my own name in the ring but it won't matter,
Cause the hands that count the votes they don't count for you
Pit us against each other in this cage-match of blood and borders
These Fake Lines separate us from the truth
And these sick seas, they scream to me, though lately more it comes out like a choke,
New fake news age, misplaced outrage, All our focus honed in on our phony scenes,
Our lives are lightless cyber lies gone cold
I'll approach the ocean and suck this poison from the water
Cause I'm not sure what else I'm supposed to do
And I'll strip these stone walls brick by brick until my bones show
That's the only type of fight that I've ever known
I'll approach the ocean and suck this poison from the water
Cause I'm not sure what else I'm supposed to do
And I'll scream these words til I spit blood up in the gutter
Cause I'm not sure what else I'm supposed to do

Little White Fences
03:56

You claim that you can see right through these eyes but have you any clue,
What's going on inside this mind of mine?
I'm not sure you do, cause if you did I think that you'd
Commit me and, you'd split right quick and make yourself a life
I'm not certain I can't tell when our little white fence all went to hell
And I lost this game of house and it cost me you
And so I can't find, all the things we held so close
They slipped by, as I hid behind the clouds of smoke
I know I'm all to blame but all the same,
I'll still try and do everything I can to change
Maybe when you've wrecked the best of us, it'll dawn on you what's left of us,
Is worth more than furs and gold and jewels to you
You jumped to rash conclusions, trust never was your strong suit,
Someone hurt you bad and now I don't know what to do
And still I can't find all the things we held so close
They slipped by as I hid behind the clouds of smoke
I know I'm all to blame but all the same
I'll still try And do everything I can to change
And still I can't find all the things we held so close
They slipped by as I hid behind the clouds of smoke
I know I'm all to blame but all the same
I'll still try and do everything I can to change

How Long
05:00
|

And with a subtle twist of the blade,
You take the pain away,
And for a while I'm whole again
Though it always ends the same
And with a sudden change of fate,
It's like a slap right to my face,
You've gone and shook my faith,
Yeah you always shake my faith
How long til I come to my senses?
Lettin' this slip passed my defenses
Think by now I'd learn my lesson
And recognize this misdirection
Or like when You tug with all you got but
You're just pullin' out the rug from
Underneath your feet and you tumble down
I try to go with what I know but
I only know what I've been taught so
I built this house of cards on broken ground
How long til I come to my senses?
Lettin' this slip passed my defenses
Think by now I'd learn my lesson
And recognize this misdirection
So tell me how long tell me how long? (How Long!)
I can't tell you how long can't tell you how long … [oh]
So tell me how long tell me how long (How Long!)
I can't tell you how long can't tell you how long … [oh]
Cause gettin' up is getting harder (Getting harder)
And staying asleep feels just the same (just the same, just the same)
And all my dreams they seem much farther (seem much farther)
And the nightmare's worst when I'm awake
How long til I come to my senses?
Lettin' this slip passed my defenses
Think by now I'd learn my lesson
And recognize this misdirection
