PROVENTIL
Why can't I get a rhythm?
Am I working hard enough?
Bound by the laws i'm given
Better keep moving or I'll never catch up!
How will i find that rhythm
Hands tied behind my back?
Need another puff of my inhaler
Gotta have breath if I'm gonna yell back!
I'm gonna drown it all out
I'm gonna drown it all out
I'm gonna drown it all out
I'm gonna drown it all out
Portrayed by my weak condition
Nothing ventured nothing gained
Any act is gonna have a victim
It's gonna have loss
It's gonna have pain
(let's count my degenerate ailments...)
1.) got a chronic spasm
2.) got a fractured spine
3.) got a case of asthma
More bad days than i've ever felt fine
Will i mend my broken bones
For a chance to break my neck?
Depending on crutches to catch my balance
The faster i try to run
The slower that i get to my destination
(the truth will have to come) as i wait
(the weight adds on) more back pain
No words to hold back
It isn't gonna get much better
If i can't pull my weight
Slip or fade or step away from the crowd
Had enough of grind & trials for now
Wanna fight pound for pound
Had enough of the sound
Drift away now
Find a way to tune out
Put the blade down

WELL AS WELL
How will I father a minion worth the bother of keeping my glut?
Or will I falter and never reach the altar where fate is unplugged?
Am I worth consideration or the plausible elation that comes biting tongues?
Or will it always be a secret? fine, go ahead and keep it, i've got some of my own
Look at that kid, no son of mine
He reeks of pain and guilt soaked up and stained in his eyes
That he cleans with 'serpentine'
Rays in his mouth, he'll sunburn. graze where it is hot
Burns his throat, will he spit fire or will he learn to stop?
I can't calm down or sit back and watch you struggle
But i can just give up on myself
I'll carry a heavy load (on my shoulders)
For a pat on the back, or a star on your flag, or just be vocal
It's what it is when it's defined
And goes down smooth with a glass of grime
The conscience shifts to mark the times
Nobody's to blame, if they cover their eyes and act surprised
Will I father a son? tell me how he will be
Will he fall in traps that I have set & placed & scattered all around me?
Will he reach with his arms? Will he pull up his sleeves?
Have I scared him from work & love & friendship & success that's always avoided me?
Is it my fault? Am I sick, or sick in me? we've all got our own disease
I'm as well as well as i can be.

WE'RE NOT PAYING FOR ANYTHING ANYMORE
You won't spend a minute
To try to comprehend
So you will waste a million dollars
In a puppet's hand
Giving nothing but our best
So we expect consideration
We'll take the role of starving artist
If you don't brag and show off to friends
You can carry on immoral horror
And pretend you're still human
You should have been caught
Degradation needs company
Or at least the air fare
Weak heart beats need saving
Strong ones need some space
Dim lights need more energy
We're just one light switch away
Consider this-
You've got us in this mess
You've taken us out of our element
We'll wait for fruit of labor's harvest
And just pray it doesn't take too long
We're buried to our necks!
Are you done with us yet?
Or will we choke on more?
Are you done with us yet?
Are you done with us yet?
"You've signed your name and you're stuck with us, now you're regretting it?" -label
"You've got a square where a circle is, is that how your puzzle fits?" -boys
"You bite the hand that is feeding you? you dumb ungrateful kids!" -label
"We'd rather starve if that's the way it is." -boys
"Well, that's quite alright!" -label

TIRED OF NOT BEING AWAY FROM HERE
flush out the devils eyes.
they say he owns the tide.
he's happy to prove them right. (he's only 10% water weight!)
to flush out the devils eyes (i've been treading)
you might need the sea to rise (for too long).
"i've got a reason for my actions."
"we're all ears we'd like to know."
you'll find that gravity pulls you faster after you let go.
you have no need whispering.
you feel the need to be free. false oppressive safety ("you're such a bully!"-K)
from your own weight you suffocate.
you're either selfish or you're passive, ("wait! mine!")
they share a blade when carving up your soul, ("please pass the knife.") gravity pulls you harder in directions you first go.
the current is still
or a hesitant calm
a storm is never far away.
a fortune(teller) never guesses with cash beyond her arm.
let's raise a glass to your sobriety, propriety
your hypocrisy knows bounds farther than mine.
so how's it feel to pull a watergate?
(to be ahead and think you're far behind?)
you know we still need an apology, apology
you'd free yourself if you'd admit your crimes.
just choose a cave and go and hibernate,
bi-polar bear reprise/reprisal.

FIGHT OR FLIGHT
No one's ever really sober
Go spit it out
Cast a spell by what you conjure
Arouse the crowd
Every second second guessing
Decades of doubt
Doesn't matter if you're killing
If your goals are shroud
Let it simmer
Capillary
If it bubbles
You know it's getting ready
Let it simmer
Let it simmer down
Does the grandeur-
That you carry-
Reach the bones
Of shallow grave ancestry?
Gotta show them all we're proud!
We are the honorary culprits now
We keep the kingdom safe
We are the honorary culprits now
We shoot and run away
Heard you're very good in public-
Strapped up to cash out!
Poor education is contagious-
Cover your mouth!
A declaration will mean nothing-
If it's without
Acknowledged actions toward
Defensive crowds
Your 'precary'- that you're under
A final drink with "Aristotle's suffer"
You're just a fixture in your fairytale
Awh, is that your cover?
Is that your weapon?
Is that the way you stick it in?
Is that your weapon??? ahhhhh!!!!!!
This isn't it
This isn't done
This is important
This isn't wrong
So if it is...let it be done...
Wave your flag...
Till it's dawn...
For my buried forefathers...
Wave your flag...
Till it waves goodbye
Is it emphatic to attach yourself
To sacrilegious crimes?
It's not prophetic for a chosen man
To kill freely and hide!
Pain will find a donor
Blood-shed more light!
Magnify disaster!

WELCOME AWAY
The phase, the sound of penitence...
I laugh out loud at your attempt at it.
Is there a meaning among us
(Of pentagrams)?
And if there is, Is there a being above us
(To slap idle hands)
Well I felt there was nothing for me to say
When you speak with no regard for me
You might have been right about one thing,
There is nothing for me at all here
There is nothing for me at all
I fear the end is imminent
(But i'll wait and see)
You've gone from gold to pretension
Hooray for the hands that cheer enough
To break any silence they try to hide (away)
You've mastered the art of giving up
By shaping a vice to bade all your lies
Pace yourself, because I want more...
We'll need some time to communicate...
Pace yourself, because I want more...
We'll need some more time to get things straight...
Pace yourself, because I want more...
It never happens the way they say...
Convince yourself what you live for...
