So it goes. (Would you just calm down?)
Check this out…(Would you just calm down?)
Hey you guys…(Would you just calm down?)
I mean it this time… (Would you just calm down?)
It’s only what I choose to devote my life to, and that’s ok
You can’t take that away.

Head to toe… (Would you just calm down?)
Did you know? (Would you just calm down?)

You didn’t read it, you didn’t notice you didn’t get it
Until it was already gone.
You didn’t read it, you didn’t notice you didn’t get it
Until it was already gone.
Eyes upon on it, drunk and wanting
You felt so low
Needed something to fill the void up
With anything at all.
I sobered up (and it feels like dying)

Back to basics, study contract there’s this lawyer I know
She works in probate, once went on a date, could find a loophole.
You didn’t read it? (NO!) But still you signed it? (YEAH!)
What kind of moron are you?

Hindspite is 20/20

I know something you don’t know.
I get distressed from knowing
It’s better on the other side
You see much clearer with the clarity of hindspite.
Cut… Throat… Wasting time with backbiters and dolts.
Cut… Throat… Wasting time with backbiters and dolts.
Cut… Throat… Wasting time with backbiters and dolts.
Cut… Throat… Wasting time with backbiters and dolts.
I still know something you don’t know
And still you front just like a frenemy
The enemy of everyone
A mountain of bad will to high to climb, yeah.
Cut… Throat… Wasting time with backbiters and dolts.
Cut… Throat… Wasting time with backbiters and dolts.
Cut… Throat… Wasting time with backbiters and dolts.

If I didn’t look back in anger, well I doubt I’d look back at all.
If I didn’t look back in anger, well I doubt I’d look back at all.
I guess you take us for the fool
You are the paragon of fools though
So friendly as you slip in the knife
I see much clearer with tbe benefit of hindspite.

Palpable Disdain

Mission critical, heed the refrain,
discount it all, with palpable disdain
Watch it ebb and flow, chip away at your soul, here it comes again
Watch it ebb and flow, chip away at your soul, here it comes again
LET THE SILENCE GROW
Hear the sustain
Let it overwhelm
With palpable disdain
Watch it ebb and flow, chip away at your soul, here it comes again
Watch it ebb and flow, chip away at your soul ,here it comes again
The die’s already cast, boring and lame
Casual contempt and palpable disdain
Watch it ebb and flow, chip away at your soul, here it comes again
Watch it ebb and flow, chip away at your soul ,here it comes again
Incoming text, patience on the wane
Message received with palpable disdain
Watch it ebb and flow, chip away at your soul, here it comes again
Watch it ebb and flow, chip away at your soul ,here it comes again
MISSION CRITICAL
heed the refrain, discount it all
With palpable disdain
Watch it ebb and flow, chip away at your soul, here it comes again
Watch it ebb and flow, chip away at your soul, here it comes again
Let the silence grow, Hear the sustain

Time's spread, slides
and turns from summer to autumn red
And winter is welcome, and you're welcome to the fact
That spring may never get sprung and the ladder, well,
The ladder may miss a rung
Usher it in, usher it all in, like a friend
And like a friend from beginning to end
It is measured once and not at all again
So wave away what you have and what you've saved
And enjoy the day and the day dips and turns
And we yearn while we burn and cool all things cruel
It's going to be perfectly fine even if it ends in time
In time In time I'm mine it's mine

Does anybody know of a…
Can anybody bring me a…
I would sure like a… FUCK NO!
Does anybody know of a…
Can anybody bring me a…
I would sure like a… FUCK NO!
Expect people to bring you things
Indian food and diamond rings
Would it kill you to ask out right?
Passive asking here, all night…
Does anybody know of a…
Can anybody bring me a…
I would sure like a… FUCK NO!
Does anybody know of a…

So entitled the petulance it grows
Passive so nobody knows
Would it kill you to ask out right?
Passive asking here, all night…

Everything that you do, that you say
It is tied to the past that surrounds you (this is known)
Everything that you focus upon,
It is tied to the past that defines you (this is known)
All of your nostalgia is killing me

Throw back Thursday, hey! throw it all away
Burn the past for fuel.

Sunk Costs
02:33

We’ve been at this for so long, should pay off any minute now
Sunk… Costs
Sunk… Costs
We’ve been at this far too long, maybe it’s time to bow out.
Sunk… Costs
Sunk… Costs
When do you say “Enough’s enough?”
When what you’ve invested, you are handcuffed
These are sunk costs and it is rough
Sometimes sunk costs are not enough.
It’s past time to call this off, everything in and nothing out
Sunk… Costs
Sunk… Costs
We’ve been at this far too long, maybe it’s time to bow out.
Sunk… Costs
Sunk… Costs
When do you say “Enough’s enough?”
When what you’ve invested, you are handcuffed
These are sunk costs and it is rough
Sometimes sunk costs are not enough.

R.I.P. Anger
03:43
|

Consumed by rage, this story’s done
The die is cast, from hate’s heart this is spun
It always ends the same
We found our place where they can’t go
How long it will last, nobody knows
Just be in the moment.
So… rest… in peace…
Anger.
Anger.
Anger.
rest… in peace…
Anger.
Anger.
Anger.
A whole lifetime spent, besot by fools
The word is “rage”, all joy removed
So much pain, so mucn anger
This back seat driving, all the missed calls
Makes you wonder if it made any difference at all.
rest… in peace…
Anger.
Anger.
Anger.
rest… in peace…
Anger.
Anger.
Anger.
