CLIFF NOTES
We can try to predict the future with false expectations
Where does this road go with our time limitations?
I never asked to shed light on my sealed Pandora’s box
And disrupt my well perceived healthy paradox
Won’t you give me, give me a sign?
Won’t you give me, give me a sign?
I have no directions for this detour of my mind
Won’t you give me a ride through the Cliff Notes
Cliff Notes of your life.
Can’t go back and relive old faded photographs of strangers you don’t remember or claim that you never met.
We’ll never get caught up, never get up to date.
You won’t know all the things that make us tick or appreciate.
Won’t you give me, give me a sign?
Won’t you give me, give me a sign?
I have no directions for this detour of my mind
Won’t you give me a ride through the Cliff Notes
Cliff Notes of your life.

TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES
Silhouette of the witness
The guilty framed by the burning back light
The ropes are cut and the truth bleeds from the bite
Walking through the static
with his right leg on fire
Catching haze and embers of their dead desire
The softer the fur
The sharper the teeth, he’s learned
His cold innocence has now twice been burned
Technical Difficulties
where the wires cross
Technical Difficulties
where the signals lost
Technical difficulties
Silent alarms, inner screams are deafening
drowned in the storms of wonder
Keep your distance from her thunder
Technical Difficulties
where the wires cross
Technical Difficulties
where the signals lost
Technical difficulties
The one that got away
is like the one that never happened
Now he’s wiser and stronger
Rising above the spell, he was under
Technical Difficulties
where the wires cross
Technical Difficulties
where the signals lost
Technical difficulties

GHOSTS
Caught in a crossfire and no one is to blame
But, I’m taking numbers and I’m naming names
Uneasy feeling that made me sick inside
Like a part of me laid down and died
I see ghosts floating through walls
I see ghosts coming down the hall
They’re walking and talking
Now I know their names
Half their blood is running through my veins
I see ghosts not the kind that shout
I’m not scared, but it freaks me out
Never thought I’d see the day
More spirits floating with my DNA
Dark shadows of my family
Out in the light with transparency
I see ghosts floating through walls
I see ghosts coming down the hall
They’re walking and talking
Now I know their names
Half their blood is running through my veins
I see ghosts and it freaked me out.
Haunted soul drifted from a distance
I was invisible to your existence
I never waited for you to arrive
But, now it’s like some part of me just came alive

MUTE
I’ve been informed, I talk way too much
I’ve been told my heart is too cold to touch
On the subject of my roots, I go mute
I disposed of the curiosities of my youth
But, you weren’t satisfied, satisfied
Guess you weren’t satisfied, satisfied?
But, you weren’t satisfied, satisfied
Guess you weren’t satisfied, satisfied?
Kid with kid, nowhere to run
Nothings more appealing, then the burden of a son
Baptizing water inquired, where’d I come from?
My dry mouth moved and whispered nothing from my tongue
Are you feeling satisfied, satisfied?
Are you feeling satisfied, satisfied?
Are you feeling justified, justified?
Are you feeling justified, justified?
No means no and yes is yes
It wasn’t up to you, to second guess
Buried between all the questions and the lies
Instant validity locked in our eyes
A truth unearthed as he sat there still in doubt
No right way to act
We just gotta figure it out
Are you feeling satisfied, satisfied
Bethcha feeling satisfied, satisfied?
Are you feeling justified, justified?
Betcha feeling justified, justified?
No means no and yes is yes
It wasn’t up to you, to second guess
On the subject of my roots, I go mute
I disposed of the questions of my youth
I’ll just keep my mouth shut and try to forget
So I don’t say something I might regret
Yes means yes and no means no
Certain situations you shouldn’t try to control
Like a bomb, strapped to my chest
It’s detonated, let’s see what’s left
Are you feeling satisfied?
Are you feeling justified?

Take One for the Team

TAKE ONE FOR THE TEAM
Something’s different in the air tonight
Tension so thick, cuts like a knife
They want a reward, or another sacrifice
Don’t challenge the codes or laws
Don’t you get caught thinking twice
Take one, take one for the team
Take one, take one for the team
Pretend you like it
This is yours that is mine
Don’t resist the plan of the great divide
Dream
But, accept the class you’ve been assigned
The place you were born is where you’ll return to die
Take one, take one for the team
Refuse to take one, take one for the team
Fictive legacies by design
Built for the deaf to lead the blind
The damage is on the rise
It’s the same machine in a new disguise
Lies lies just don’t buy it
They’re just words, they’re not actions
Take one, take one for the team
Take one, take one for the team
Don’t you take one for the team
Take one, take one for the team

RUNNING OUT OF TIME
The hum is at a whole new level
Hearing voices of the angels and devils
My skin’s aging before my brain
Looking different, but, I’m thinking the same
I’m running, running out of time
I’m running, running out of time
Full tilt, reckless abandon
I’m a bit broken, but, I’m still standing
My dial’s up past eleven
What might be your Hell, you know is my Heaven
I’m running, running out of time
I’m running, running out of time
Danced on the edge of a wrong turn
To the point of no return
Hid my claws for long enough
Now I’m scratching and ripping my way to the good stuff
I’m running, running out of time
I’m running, running out of time
Running, I’m running, running, running out of time
I’m running, running, running out of time
