Rainfall is a harbinger of gray
I can't stand to look at you
For another deceitful day
It's a cold and brutal purgatory
A stamped out spark in the damp and dark
You swear that you're not lying
But your first of kin ain't crying
Pass out as the concrete meets your head
No one there to catch you
No surprise to hear you're dead
It's a cry so far from your potential 
A bus ride down to a broken town
Your days are growing shorter
As you sing the Oath to Order

Oath

Coffee

Radical

In the psychedelic sun in the middle of another angry day
In the center of the melting pot surrounded by a million shades of gray
Would you say that it's been fun? Are you treading just to stay above the flood?
Do you love Lovely Lady Liberty? Would you please leave a sample of blood?
I am strong and I am mighty, for the banner I am fighting
I don't know but I've been told
In the valley of the loon, did you think that you had gone a bit too far?
In the center of the galaxy the void annihilating our stars
From the pulpit of the bar serenading all the drunks with your guitar
Do you keep it to yourself or do you brag about your battle scars?
I am strong and I am mighty, for the banner I am fighting
I don't know but I've been told
Burning heart is growing cold
I don't know but I've been told

Bathroom Politics

Melting Pot

Trickle drip drip goes my morning coffee like my morning piss
Body and the blood meet my eager and affectionate kiss
Compel me, my rationality, my sense of obligation
We're waking up across the nation
Trickle drip drip goes the faucet I don't know that I am clean
Body and the blood wash away all that I say that I don't mean
Compel me, my rationality, my sense of obligation
So fucking tired across the nation
Trickle drip drip goes my evening vodka don't you break the seal
Body and the blood fill me up but not enough for a meal
Compel me, my rationality, my sense of obligation
We're getting high across the nation

Body and the Blood

I know this is not what you had in mind
But baby I'll make it up to you in time
Was it ever meant to be?
How could I possibly become the one you need?
For real

These days we're looking out into the void
Minutes fly like a passing asteroid
I am not one to complain
You roll your eyes, it's such a shame,
They're full of stars, magnetars

I don't wanna give the wrong impression
But you fill my head with questions
Should I work a little harder baby?
Am I coming on too strong lately?

Do the fans at home adore ya?
Would you rather them just ignore ya?
I'll be sitting in the front row baby
Sitting in the front row baby

Today you nearly brought me to my knees
In a moment you can put my mind at ease
In a sea of brighter green
No better time to find some time for you and me

I know we’re on an island in the sky
But baby I say we give it one more try
We don’t have to rule the world and all the stars
But I am open to compromise, to fantasize

I don't wanna give the wrong impression
But you fill my head with questions
Should I work a little harder baby?
Am I coming on too strong lately?

Do the fans at home adore ya?
Would you rather them just ignore ya?
I'll be sitting in the front row baby
Sitting in the front row baby

Asteroid

I've been lost inside a complicated maze
I'm exhausted trying to keep my story straight
In the dark around the fire above my head
I don't want to let my guard down
I don't want to end up dead
From the bottom of my heart
I should have known this from the start
Every day the castaway is on an island in decay
Cannot blame this on myself
I could use a little help
Bit afraid to fade away but not today
No not today
I've been baptized in the fires of outer space
Feeling anxious growing lines upon my face
All around the nameless faces passing by
I don't want to be reminded
I don't want to watch you die
From the bottom of my heart
I should have known this from the start
Every day the castaway is on an island in decay
Cannot blame this on myself
I could use a little help
Bit afraid to fade away but not today
No not today

Lost

Everything at once
Stack it up so high
Looking for a reason
Reasonable lie
Changing of the seasons
So familiar
Tell me all about it
Maybe I'll remember

Look me in my eyes and tell me we're okay
Cause I can't stand to see you torn up in this way
I'm not giving up, no I'd lay down my life
Cause I'm not going down
Without a fight

Such a noble cause
Do it all for you
So I tell myself
I eclipse the truth
Now I'm superstitious
I can't run forever
Time to face the music
Pray for better weather

Look me in my eyes and tell me we're okay
Cause I can't stand to see you torn up in this way
I'm not giving up, no I'd lay down my life
Cause I'm not going down
Without a fight

I'm not going down

Changing of the Seasons

I'm too young to feel the ache inside my bones
I'm too dumb to know I can't do this along
I'm too skeptical too apathetic a total heretic
I'm out of control
I'm electrified so fucking terrified
It's just a figure of speech I've been told

I'm too young to pull the hair out from my head
I'm too young to fathom life after I'm dead
I'm undoubtedly seeking the guidance of martyrs before me
To show me the way
I'm exhausting my options and begging the question
And looking for something to blame

There's no need to fear
I'm looking forward to the new year
Take my own advice
Make another sacrifice

There's no need to fear

Too Young (To Jung?)

Take one more look at my former apartment
Turn back around and step out to the cold gray morning
And I can't see you through the fog in my helmet
Only a faint silhouette but the outline fading

Just when I'm no longer paying attention
I catch your eyes up above me, they're phosphorescent
Alone in a million, the voyage unheard of
The voices are louder than ever, but yours is silent

I know I won't find you, I know you're not there
But still I feel you like you're in the air
The people around you, they come and they go
Do you change when you move on? 
Well they'll never know

To Mars

I found a better excuse this time
I'm not immune to the call of restless fate
Fix my eyes, but my attention wanders 
Can't help but wonder if I'll make it at this rate
I'm not a martyr, no...but I'll do what I have to do

I found an answer I didn't like
Ran off to war and I'm fighting to this day
We dedicated our burning hearts
Forever learning how to keep the dark at bay
Another rising sun....as the many become the few

I will not compromise
I won't apologize
I'm tired of moving on
I won't be proven wrong
Your violence comes around
But I will stand my ground

Erase my mind
Confess this time
My reconciliation fuels my
Fire away
Confess today
My reconciliation don't betray

Confession

I'm still riding high
I'm bound and determined
To watch it all go by
To catch another sermon

Cleaning up my act
Throw it on the fire
Make another pact
Now that I'm inspired

Raging on, same old song

Feel it in my bones
Nothing like it prior
Work as hard as stone
Now I'm getting tired
This is what I craved
The feeling should last longer
Thought it was engraved 
I'll have to be stronger

Raging on, same old song

Still Ridin'
