Eldorado Park

Track 8 off the Self Titled sophomore album release February 23rd, 2016

lyrics:
We were fine before we lent ourselves 
Now we’re broken... 
Again and again I test these waters filled with sharks and snakes 
Still I’m distant from the instance 
Where by some stroke of luck they’ll bite and tear this chance I take 
Looking back on the past 
How many times can I give everything I have in me 
Just to break through the Thin Ice 
At age sixteen I swore by twenty I’d be out of here 
Told I’m still young my time will come 
Abandoned by the ones who once believed these goals were near 
Left to dry, one more try 
How many times can I give everything I have in me 
Just to break through the Thin Ice 
We were fine before we lent ourselves 
Now we’re broken...

Thin Ice

Track 9 off the Self Titled sophomore album release February 23rd, 2016

lyrics:
Come what will, come what may 
The slippery slope is as bad as they say 
We’ve taken it as far as all we can pay 
From the phones, to the pills, to the drinks 
They convince us we need more than we need 
We’re built to break and broken is what they want us to be 
Whoa, everything in moderation 
Whoa, we’ve all just become their compulsive Test Rats 
Come what will, come what may 
The studies show whatever they want you to see 
We’re gullible as kids 
As kids begin to believe what they see on the screens is true 
Their unpaid voices, unknowingly, used by the glamorous 
world of brands and apps and Hollywood news 
Whoa, everything in moderation 
Whoa, we’ve all just become their compulsive Test Rats 
I’ve reduced myself to listening to this morning’s news 
I lost my appetite from digesting the bullshit they spew 
From digesting the bullshit they do…and it’s nothing new.

Test Rats

Track 10 off the Self Titled sophomore album release February 23rd, 2016

lyrics:
Pales of hate and shame tossed upon your face 
Was it really necessary for the world to disown your name? 
Why apologize? 
Tiger in the Woods, inspire me to be all that I can be 
Mr. President, take a stand…tell us all; how was she? 
To the star’s defense, he sees life different 
Money, fame, and being on the road has its way of attracting girls 
Maybe you can tell the next generation 
Y’all don’t need therapy 
It’s completely natural to live wild 
Don’t let them tell you what makes you happy 
‘Cus we’re all just one big jealous classroom 
So Tiger in the Woods, inspire me to be all that I can be 
Mr. President, take a stand…tell us all 
Tiger in the Woods, inspire me to be all that I can be 
Mr. President, man to man…tell us all; how was she?

Tiger In The Woods

Track 11 off the Self Titled sophomore album release February 23rd, 2016

lyrics:
November came and passed so quickly 
I barely got to see the season 
Let alone this home 
The idea of having weekends 
Has been disposed so long ago 
As I wake I can think of only logical decisions 
I dreamt them but they all just fade away 
Hey there is nothing I can do 
I built this thing and I can’t bare to choose 
What Means More to me 
Support or sticking to what I’m glued to 
I’m not right 
This lifeline has made me all confused 
The memories of her make things harder 
She’s perfect from her words down to her deeds 
Would they be better off without me? 
She’d find someone 
I’d never have to call 
These games they scare me off so quickly 
My conscious tells me I’m invincible 
But there is nothing I can do 
I built this thing and I can’t bare to choose 
What Means More to me 
Support or sticking to what I’m glued to 
I’m not right 
This lifeline has made me all confused 
Just fade away...
