1 - To Hold

Written in the Middle of Another Existential Crisis pts. 1 & 2
Part 1
Broken down, hastily put back together
With glue and rubber ties and pills to take
Walk the world, become a modern stranger
Despised by every acquaintance that you make

An animal born, already bored
We took to fire and stakes
To place ourselves above the ones that we decide to hate
Laugh and drink and be merry and burn the witch the gay
Stone eyed, steel faced,
Try to keep your sympathies at bay
Well can I walk away?

And all you deemed so awful
Was it ever wrong?
And all you deemed so evil
Did you ever examine, imagine the cause behind it all

An animal born, already torn
We took ourselves away
From all the things we deem unsafe just watch as it floats on by
Never try to see the other side; it’s not your fight
All we need is here within the light
All we need is here within my eyes

As for me, I will kiss my brother
And pretend the world is a giant hole
Where we are thrown here, black and white together
To find the interlocking of our souls
Follow me, I will give you shelter
Follow me and I’ll show you the place
Where hieroglyphs are tattooed on each body’s soul
To tell their story, tell it whole

Part 2

I’ve been told not to trust in other people
But I still try, I still try
I’ve been told that there are too many heartaches
To fix them all, but why can’t I
Just play a little music, and help out who I might

God knows I’m two-toned tongue tied tragic
I don’t know why, I don’t know why
Venus roaming realistic romantic
It kills it all, kills it all

If everyone could see what they want to be we would all live in forbidden fairy forests
If everyone were alone how would we know where to go when the mushroom cloud rings out over our heads
And our lungs are stripped by toxins but we never smoked a single cigarette

Washed up, worn out, weeping Warlord Wheaton
Was such a sight, when he blew bright
General Jenkins over bloody sneakers
Curses death, curses life

Always remember the names that disappear and check behind the billboards
The ’85 All-American homeless man will eat you in the end
He will have his fill in the end

Come on my lover, take on another, run this world into the ground.


Written In The Middle Of Another Existential Crisis Parts 1 & 2

Turned on the news and it got me down again
Like an overdose on Lithium
There’s mist of blood in the air and hate on the streets
And there’s a man, pointing his finger at the statue of Liberty
And he tells me it’s all meant to be, like Manifest Destiny
But you stole that shit you know you did
Under a thin veil of propaganda’s charm
Go buy a gun just don’t shoot anyone
And love who you love, you know no one else can judge
I won’t change you if you won’t change me
And I’ll respect you, if you respect me
Worship god, or Krishna, or Satan, or nothing at all
Just don’t shove it down my throat when I don’t wanna eat
I’ll respect you if you’ll respect me
And that’s how we’ll make the world go ‘round
(4 Measure Instrumental Break)
And the left wing cries and cries and cries
While the right wing lies and lies and lies
And we all get text invited to the same party
And we sympathize but scrutinize 
And stare into our enemies eyes
With the same lack of care
That creates piercing cavalry swords
And the bad make lives
Off of everyone’s
Empty encounters

Oh I'm not so sure you should believe
In all the cash that you've received
It's paper thin and blows away in the wind
Just so you know
Oh and gold is like a cigarette
It calls you when you walk away
And always leads good men astray
From the path they hope to hold
As the world turns cold

And there's a time bomb hidden under the bank
But you can't walk away
'Cause you can't take your safe
And it's OK to wake up in a world blown
If you're covered in salt
And you tell me that I'm not supposed to feel
The way I feel, it's not masculine
But are your green slips really all that strong?

Oh another thing that's on my mind
Is how you claim yourself divine
Yet scoff at the ones who love the way they love
And you judge each man by the color of his skin
Man I don't get it.
Oh if Karma isn't consequence
Then the path you lead us on sure is
It's a world of hate and war and Calvary swords
Just so you know.

Oh Cement and Stone
Lay the nation
Over broken bones of the natives to this land
And call it good
When you give them some money and some barren land
And you tell your children it's the way it had to go
For the greater good

Oh Cement and Stone
Cement and stone
Cement and Stone
Why's the world so cold?
Cement and stone (whoah oh oh oh)
Cement and stone (whoah oh oh oh)
Cement and stone Oh no you make the world so cold

So shoot me with your favorite gun
I will not be your prodigal son
Oh shoot me with your famous gun
Oh shoot me with your famous gun
I do not want to hurt anyone
So shoot me with your favorite gun

Oh Cement and Stone
Lay the nation over broken bones
Of the natives to this land
And call it good
