Filthy Clean

No one to trust, Know when to trust.
There are rats amongst us.
Gnawing at my integrity.
Betrayed from what I thought was a friend.
Thieves of honesty to lies.
No friend of mine.
Filthy lies or clean honesty. Time will tell what you will mean to…
Filthy lies or clean honesty. Time will tell what you will mean to me.
No one showed faith.
Know when to place my faith in you again.
Intentions sharp as knives.
They are in my back.
You never know when you need them back.
No friend of mine.
Lost in a valley of mirrors and smoke.
Sticks and shards, stones and broken glass.
To the end and I would do it again.
Know your enemies.
Keep them close.
They are listening.
An alibi to compose
No Friend of mine.
Filthy lies or clean honesty. Time will tell what you will mean to…
Filthy lies or clean honesty. Time will tell what you will mean to me.
No Friend of mine.

Daydreamers
04:08

Tell me, why you would sell your soul?
My confusion runs deep and wide
All because your morals have all but gone
What have you got to hide from?
And you will find
You will fall!
Your scheme, you search, a well-rehearsed verse.
Make me a better grave, I
Can’t dig out, tell me what I want to hear
We’re exhausted and we’re enslaved
Thieves to the right, liars to the left of me.
The truth is far from your deceitful lips. Can we have some Reprieve
We are nothing, nothing but Daydreamers. Falling asleep
Wake us up! We are nothing but Daydreamers. [Fallen asleep]
This is where we draw the line.
Get out; get out from under my skin
This is how we fall in line,
Sold our souls, torn from within.
You will fall....

This is surreal
The words from your mouth have never been sweeter.
You take the steering wheel
I place my faith in you, I’ll follow through.
These four walls and a little bit more.
I can’t believe we’ve made it to here.
Take your time.
I’ll wait; I’ll wait for you.
Take your time.
I’ll wait, to keep awake for you.
Quietly content.
Voice of Entitlement.
This is all too real
Time flies by with a blink of an eye.
As she dissolves through my fingertips.
I’m drained; it’s lost now I’m counting the cost.
Tighten my grip. Don’t let it slip.
Quietly content.
Voice of Entitlement.
I’ll wait, to keep awake for you.
I’ll wait; I’ll wait for you.
How long before, It’s time to Fly

Exit
04:24
|

|
Rambunctious riff raff. Rioting through the recess of her mind.
Thoughts of failure. Ideas to exit. Float throughout her consciousness.
You have lost all control
(Chaos comes at a cost) Weighed down by mountains that surround her
Do you know the way?
(Are you lost?) Paper sharks circling teeth at the ready.
Breathe in and exhale.
Slow down your mind.
Breathe in and exhale.
Hold fast and hope.
Burn it down. Down to the ground.
I will be there, there to ignite all your foes.
Will you be there?

Generation Loss
04:39

|
Opposites derived from the same assembly line.
Nothing’s sacred you just fake it.
Ideas are contrived, engineered and redefined.
Manufactured, calculated.
Cut the Line. Save yourself,
Cut the Line. No-one else.
Cut the Line. Save yourself,
Cut and sever the ties that bind you.
Carbon copy clones with no voice to call their own.
A fractured scene. A broken scheme.
Seeds have been sown, come down from your throne
Repeat your tape recorded dreams
Innovation is gone.
Repetition on and on.
Cut the Line. Save yourself! No one else.
Cut the Line. No one else but you.
Cut the Line. Over and Over, Deja Vu
Cut and sever the ties that bind you to the ground.
Hold your tongue. Heads must be hung.
Take a step back. Look what you’ve done.
Not every war must be won.

Drums Aren't Dead
03:37

Can this get better, my God?
I feel, so blessed, please don’t remove me.
The ocean, the thief, the liquid sneaks
The rhythm, the beat, played on repeat
This is so cardinal, but am I paying attention?
The levels of decibels, but am I still listening?
The ocean, the thief, the liquid sneaks
The rhythm, the beat, played on repeat
Past the shore, past the stones. She eludes my sight
It’s too late, out of time. It’s all so quite
Stop, Cease and Desist.
The sea has flashed her teeth
Stop, Cease and Desist.
My last breath, lost to the deep.
See says, she says.
That it’s just a ring. That it’s just a thing.
But it’s more, It’s more. It’s more to me.

Sirens Song
05:18

|
I meant it when I said that I will be with you.
Reset, Flat line and start all over again.
All I want, all I need is proximity.
And I watch and I wait.
‘Til your skin turns to me.
Too late, Your song has a hold on me.
You gave, I fold. I can take no more.
I would throw the stones that would bury me in my grave.
I would do all again for one more embrace
And you need two, to divide.
I’ll do what it takes to be by your side.
Too late, Your song has a hold on me.
You gave, I fold. I can take no more.
No one to stop.
Nothing to show.
Retired and out of time.
To look away would be a crime.
I saw the fire burn deep within her eyes.
To look away and I would find.
An inferno deep within her mind.
I know.
Yes I know.

Kids These Days
05:14
|

|
Always connected, forever apart.
One side of the coin, hiding from the start.
And to the bitter end, no fracture will show.
Darkened digital eyes, the screens reflect the glow.
The crown on your head, was all in your mind.
Pixels packed in a pretty box. Binary kind.
The harder you hold, the more it burns.
Fallout from the fiction you breathe takes an ugly turn.
You get by with looks and pouts.
It’s a matter of time before we figured you out.
And it will all fade away.
You get by with looks and pouts.
It’s a matter of time before we figured you out.
And it all fades away.
Your castle is crumbling down.
The kingdom you built is falling away.
Brick by brick, Stone by stone.
Lost and misdirected,
Decisions you made are in disarray.
The bridges are set alight, lost your throne.
You get by with looks and pouts.
It’s a matter of time before we figured you out.
And it will all fade away.
You get by with looks and pouts.
It’s a matter of time before we figured you out.
And it all fades away.
Hey kid. When it’s all said and done.
Hey kid. Have a look what becomes.
Hey kid. When you hold to clichés.
Hey! Kids these days.

Play What You Will
04:17

Arrogance does not suit you
I knew, her aim was true,
No intent in playing games
She saw through the façade. Keep calm.
Under the cover of darkness
Play what you will. Be restless, keep me breathless.
Her eyes that slice. If looks could kill.
My heart, be still. play what you will.
No words were exchanged.
Not a syllable nor a vowel escaped their cage.
Black and blue, beaten and used.
Black and blue, beaten and used.
Just one glance it’s all it took.
If looks could kill.
Then it would have been swift and skilled.
She said it was the stare you gave me. Gave me
That left me powerless.
Weak at the knees and clutching onto my chest
Her eyes that slice. If looks could kill.
My heart, be still now, play what you will.
No words were exchanged.
Not a syllable nor a vowel escaped their cage.
A message I received loud and clear.
I don’t want to be anywhere else but here.
Black and blue, beaten and used,
Black and blue, beaten up and used,
Under those eyes If looks could kill.
I said, play what you will!!!

Ascension Descending
08:12
|

|
It’s up and it’s down.
You push and you pull me around.
You refuse to commit to this.
Refuse to comply.
Close to the precipice.
A while way down, far from grace
Drag my body, for so long, by my neck
But when,
When will it be fine?
But when,
When will it be time?
But when,
When will it be fine?
But when,
I’m at the end of the line.
Has it come to this? I want to know, will it ever be fine?
To fix on the past, wont last, will it ever be time?
Close to the edge.
Far from safe, far from home.
You refuse to commit to this.
Refuse to comply.
Over and Over, it’s the same.
The needles, the pins, the flames.
Tear it down to rebuild once again
But when,
When will it be fine?
But when,
When will it be time?
But when,
When will it be fine?
But when,
I’m at the end of the line.
Has it come to this I want to know will it ever be fine?
To fix on the Past wont last, will it ever be time?
Ascension [I come up to you]
Descending [You come down to me]
When will you [Meet me half way]
