My alarm was set for nine
so I could sleep but still have time
to do the dishes from last night
before you're home

But it was late before I woke,
from all the promises I broke,
to find I ain't done a single thing for you
in years.

El Dorado's come and gone,
beneath the feet I'm standing on.
Like every magic show will end,
and once it's over we pretend
that it's not,
and that it's real.

So we're working round' the clock,
to be the things that we are not,
and if you think that I'm unhappy,
you'd be wrong.

So we focus on our youth,
and we sacrifice the truth
because I'd rather lose it all than 
cheat the dream.

El Dorado's come and gone,
beneath the feet I'm standing on.
Like every magic show will end,
and now it's over let's pretend
that it's not,
and that it's real.

El Dorado's come and gone,
beneath the feet I'm standing on.
Like every magic show must end,
and once it's over we’ll pretend
that it's not,
and that it's real.
We pretend
That it’s not
And that it’s real

Rat Crown - Set It Aside

Rat Crown - Piano Piece

heard your voice on the phone,
I am lost take me home.
where your warm winter fire
melts the ice you've acquired,
from the years you've spent alone
wandering aimless in the cold
lend an ear for my lies,
take my hand close your eyes

aren't you glad for all the miles?
take me home take me home

Every cent must be repaid
the destruction that i've laid
whispered voices from the past
have come to surface now at last

Watch how dawn will take the day
if you've nothing nice to say...
with plugged ears and bitten tongue
see the scratch marks where i'd  clung

Weren't you glad when spring had come?
Take me home take me home 

There is nothing I can say
I blink and swallow hand grenades
Fingers feeling for a note
the composer never wrote

I'll be glad to lose your face
Take me home take me home. 


Take Me Home - Rat Crown

Written, engineered, and mixed by Joel "Rat Crown" Kuehn @ Studio 5

Take the Blame

You didn't last to see,
the kind of man I'd grow to be.
No you weren't around to see your son.
I knew I'd scrape my knees,
along the road you paved for me,
and I never asked to be your son.

I know the game was fixed,
and I know the factors in the mix,
yeah I know the game was fixed,
but not who won.
I'm sure you did your best,
with the tools that you possesed,
yeah I'm sure you did your best,
with your gun.

And now I've come to see,
that in this two-tiered tragety,
we play our parts in blindness
till the curtain call's complete,
and if the tension gets relieved,
all the patrons who've come to grieve,
will learn the feeling trumps the plot.

You didn't last to see,
the kind of man I'd grow to be.
No you weren't around to see your son.
I knew I'd scrape my knees,
along the road you paved for me,
and I never asked to be your son.
