The Furious

We're all...
Done with the rat race
Enough with the stop and go
An answer in poor taste
Delivered hard to confront
Ugly eyes are staring at the stereo
Bitter smiles are tonguing at a paper cut
Comfortable with compromise filing all the edges blunt
We've had enough
We're all The Furious
Enough with the costumes
Stop teaching a class in brand management
A question of legacy
Sinking hard into shit
Ugly eyes are staring at the stereo
Bitter smiles are tonguing at a paper cut
Comfortable with compromise filing all the edges blunt
We've had enough
We're all The Furious
A question of legacy
An answer in poor taste
In love with the rat race
We're all The Furious
tonguing at a paper cut
tonguing at a paper cut
tonguing at a paper cut
We're all The Furious

She's A Mascot

You're so great
your weight in gold
is worth the time I'm giving up
I had a thought but now it's gone
true loves embrace is seen not heard
Tell me what I want to hear
Tell me what I wanna
She's a mascot
You're so brave how could your know
the way it feels to know your soul
to breathe you in and swallow whole
the things you are the things you own
Tell me what I want to hear
Tell me what I wanna
She's a mascot
Tell me what I want to hear
Tell me what I wanna
She's a mascot
a mascot.

Second Stage Malaise

Counting steps ahead
With a weathered eye on your friends
It might take any shape
It could hold any form
Growing attached inside... What are you waiting for?
When the dream dies... Trust me... It's dead
Picking a fight with your mind
One you will lose every time
Form in a single file line
And wait for your number
Learn to retrace your steps
With a clear mind on where you've been
It might take any shape
It could hold any form
Growing attached inside... What are you waiting for?
When the dream dies... Trust me... It's dead
Picking a fight with your mind
One you will lose every time
Form in a single file line
And wait for your number

Waste Paper Basket Case

New York City cut me in half
Left me stranded with a third of what I had
Caught me red handed with wishes inside of my bed
One day we'll make peace and finally start to break bread
Still running away
Steal just one more day
Out on the west coast no one (hardly ever) Gets dressed
Living a day dreamyou're painting inside of your head
I packed up a suitcase and left it underneath my bed
One day I'll break free... tomorrow it's time to pay the rent
Still running away
Still just one more day
I'm running away
Steal just one more day
New York City
Left me for dead
New York City
Taught me everything I am
New York City
Cut me in half
Tomorrow I'll break free right after I pay the rent

Shoelace Robots

you're walking away...I guess it's time
What a waste you let me slide
Trying to get caught before the bottom line
Giving birth to a child out of wed lock I'm starting to cry
Heartbreak
For sweat and blood
Heartbreak
Is never enough
You're taking me back... well I don't know why
I haven't said anything until now it's all starting to lie
Somewhere in between (everyday, every night)
I'm screaming a lot but (I think)
(What I mean) it's not quite right
Heartbreak
For sweat and blood
Heartbreak
Is never enough
It's getting better now
It's not quite right
You're wanting some more? Well l don't thing so
I'll crawl on the floor and I'll plug myself in
I don't want to say what I've been thinking
I guess that I'll end this soon and get lost in a night of drinking
Heartbreak and blood
Is never enough
Heartbreak
is all that i've got
It's getting better now...

We could stay here
One day we're gone
Restless, weary eyed
What a swan song
Red line confidence
Trusting all wrong
Spinning ceaselessly to watch the world turn
Hanging out on a wire
Watching the world conspire
Steely eyes to the ground
Lovely Love you are found
I could try to reach out my hand
Could it touch you?
Would you understand?
Red line empathy fueling all that I am
Spinning ceaselessly the ground calls again
Hanging out on a line
Watching the world pass by
Life through a window frame
Lovely Love you're in pain.

Steely eyes
when she stares she wont cry or wish she'd died
What he burns he leaves behind
On her way out
Somewhere I cant follow
May I lay my hand
While she lies, inflection waved and tossed aside
No one tried to find the truth inside her eyes
On her way out
Somewhere I cant follow
May I lay my hand
Promise Promise Promise
you'll never tell.
Steely eyes
when she stares she wont cry...

When It Scabs Over
04:25

Call me when the moment's gone
when the blood that clots is warm to the touch
When it starts to feel like you might come undone
Call me when the time is right
When you start to need a hot knife
to get inside and come alive again
Come alive again
Feel everything you know is real
A long long way to go...
Call me when your love is cold
when you start to feel what you don't own
When you wish you had that look inside your eyes
Call me when you're dignified
when you feel the need to rot inside
and find a way to die another day
Feel everything you know is real
Can you feel everything you know is real?
Call me when the time is right
Call me when you're out of your mind
I'll lay awake talking
Call me when the moment's gone
the moment's gone

Energized To Stabilize
03:03
|

|
Can't tackle a freight train if the breaks are gone
If you're here for the ending you stayed too long
Yeah it was over before we all got here
Yeah time is getting long in the tooth
Yeah we might be playing out of compulsion
Energized to Stabilize
Post a formal correction and smile wide
Cultivate a distraction and tell a lie
Identify as Red or Blue
Embrace the divide
Be sure to tell your children we were all just killing time
Yeah it was over before we all got here
Yeah time is getting long in the tooth
Yeah we might be playing out of compulsion
Energized to Stabilize
I swore I could fly
and stabilize
I was flying... past tense
I think I'm coming down
Yeah it was over before we all got here
Yeah time is getting long in the tooth
Yeah we might be playing out of compulsion
Energized to Stabilize

Out on the avenue
Looking for something new
I like when you catch my eye
Watch you while you walk on by
Freak
Walk in the afternoon
There's something about this tune
that's got me humming along
Do you wanna sing my song?
Freak
Watching the sun go down
I like the way we paint this town
Thank the good lord for this thing that I have found
Take it up to the stage
I wont grow up and act my age
I'm gonna go until that sun comes around again
Freak
