Talas "Crystal Clear"

Angel in the Skies

(Verse 1) 
Shattered glass in silent rooms, 
Labeled whispers, they echo doom, 
Articulate, they say, but hold the line, 
A compliment wrapped in barbed design. 
Words fall heavy on painted skin, 
Like a riddle that’s locked from within, 
Exceptional shadows, a scripted play, 
While in the light, it’s a different day. 

(Chorus) 
Chains of language, bound in gold, 
Strong voices silenced, the truth untold, 
Articulate, they think it’s grace, 
But it’s a snide remark, a hidden face. 
Fluency in a world so cold, 
But watch how the stories unfold. 

(Verse 2) 
Echoes of ivory, automatic charm, 
While colors speak, and we raise alarm, 
Confidence wrapped in constructs tight, 
In their eyes, I’m a shining light, 
But cautious tongues betray the show, 
As if to say, we just don’t know, 
Why the colors break with every word, 
Articulate fight, but only heard. 

(Chorus) 
Chains of language, bound in gold, 
Strong voices silenced, the truth untold, 
Articulate, they think it’s grace, 
But it’s a snide remark, a hidden face. 
Fluency in a world so cold, 
But watch how the stories unfold. 

(Bridge) 
Articulated, disconnected dreams, 
Push through the seams, unravel at the seams, 
A strong personality cast aside, 
While they’ll never know the pain we hide. 
Flexible joints, but hearts in a prison, 
A melody lost, can’t drown the vision.

(Outro) 
Watch me speak, I’ll shatter your chains, 
With every syllable, release the pains, 
Articulate? I’ll redefine, 
In a world where my voice will shine. 
Words like chains can’t hold this soul, 
In the rhythm I rise, and reclaim control.

Articulate

[Verse]
I smile in the mirror
But it feels like a joke
Every hello’s a battle
Every word is smoke
They talk about weather
I just stare at my phone
I try to like people
But I just don't

[Chorus]
Oh they laugh
They shout
They sing their tune
I’m stuck in a corner
A social monsoon
I’m dancing in shadows
A ghost all alone
I try to like people
But I just don't

[Verse 2]
Coffee shop chatter
The noise drowns my soul
I sip my espresso
Play my silent role
Their words hit like cymbals
My patience is blown
I try to like people
But I just don't

[Bridge]
So give me the static
The hum of machines
The crackle of vinyl
Where silence redeems
No faces
No voices
Just space to atone
I try to like people
But I just don't

[Chorus]
Oh they laugh
They shout
They sing their tune
I’m stuck in a corner
A social monsoon
I’m dancing in shadows
A ghost all alone
I try to like people
But I just don't

[Guitar Solo]
(80’s hair metal guitar wails with ska rhythm punches beneath)

I Try to Like People, But I Just Don't

[Verse]
Shadows creep
Sharp and cold
Cracks in walls
Stories untold
Whispered chaos in my ear
What the fuck
Bring me near

[Chorus]
Raging tide
Pull me in
Silence breaks
Begins the sin
What the fuck
A burning call
I feel nothing
I lose it all

[Verse 2]
Metal twists
Rage unfurled
Fire scorches
Wrecks the world
Questions rise
None remain
What the fuck
Untamed pain

[Bridge]
Fragments fall
Scatter wide
Searching realms where truths collide
Broken haze
I can’t see
What the fuck is haunting me

[Chorus]
Raging tide
Pull me in
Silence breaks
Begins the sin
What the fuck
A burning call
I feel nothing
I lose it all

[Outro]
Echoes fade
A hollow cry
What the fuck beneath the sky
Winds still howling
Shadows stay
Indifference reigns
The price we pay

What (And I Can't Stress This Enough) The Fuck

(Verse 1)
Kerry O’
Kerry Add E Quit
Princess Potty Mouth
Love every single word you spit
Red hair, green eyes, an Irish queen
From Saginaw, you’re my punk rock dream

(Chorus)
Oh Kerry O’
Kerry Add E Quit
Princess Potty Mouth, you’re the fire in my night
Dancing like a dream, skankin’ left and right
With your heart on your sleeve, and your spirit so bold
Kerry O’, your story’s waiting to be told

(Verse 2)
NHL nights, cheering for the Red Wings
Your laughter’s the anthem, hear the joy it brings
Cruising down the road in that GMC E V Hummer, let the good vibes flow

(Chorus)
Oh Kerry O’
Kerry Add E Quit
Princess Potty Mouth, you’re the fire in my night
Dancing like a dream, skankin’ left and right
With your heart on your sleeve, and your spirit so bold
Kerry O’, your story’s waiting to be told

(Bridge)
Art Institute grad, creating spaces divine
Apothecary charms, with a punk rock design
Zona Fresca burritos, Captain and Coke
In a world full of chaos, you’re my favorite 

(Verse 3)
Wiccan in the wild, with nature you align
Dabbling on keys, your melodies shine
Hoarding all those books, you’re my literary queen
With every turn of the page, you fulfill my dream

(Chorus)
Oh Kerry O’
Kerry Add E Quit
Princess Potty Mouth, you’re the fire in my night
Dancing like a dream, skankin’  left and right
With your heart on your sleeve, and your spirit so bold
Kerry O’, your story’s waiting to be told

(Outro)
So here’s to corned beef and dancing barefoot
Mom’s A M radio Motown, that’s how we commute
Kerry O’, you’re my punk rock masterpiece
Together we’ll live, let our hearts find peace.

Kerry O’
