You’re comin’ up,
The sun is out,
The deck is stacked,
Nothing to cry about,
But I don’t wanna play this game.
Alpha bros and beta cucks,
Don’t pull your keepers,
‘Cause this tie’s made up,
But I don’t wanna play this game.
I’m tryin’ to keep my chin up,
But I’m lonely again.
Let’s get together,
Chat the weather,
Have some laughs with my friends.
Trying to relax and tip some back,
But some pro’s gotta flex,
And one up, and one up,
You gotta see who’s the best.
Are you still listening
To what those hot heads are saying?
We’ve lost control,
This shit’s so old,
Can’t hold this bluff But I don’t wanna fold,
And I don’t wanna play this game.
The cost is low,
The stakes are high,
On the same team
But somehow I’m offside,
And I don’t wanna play this game.
I’m tryin’ to keep my chin up,
But I’m lonely again.
Let’s get together,
Chat the weather,
Have some laughs with my friends.
Trying to relax and tip some back,
But some pro’s gotta flex,
And one up, and one up,
You gotta see who’s the best.
Are you still listening
To what those butt heads are saying?
When will it be fun again?
Will it ever be fun again?
I know it’s been tough for you,
I know you struggled
And you’ve hustled to get your piece too,
But it’s not the same.
We’re on the same field,
But it’s not the same game.
And who wants to play?
When will it be fun again?
Will it ever be fun again?
I know it’s been tough for you.
Please understand it’s not a “man thing”.
You’ve got nothing to lose.
I’m just trying to say
We’re on the same field,
But it’s not the same game.

I saw you standing on the bridge,
I saw you tangled in your fringe,
I saw you wince and sip your cup.
Let’s see how long you can keep it up.
I saw you standing on the beach,
I heard you question what you preach,
I saw you shrug and sell your soul.
It all feels different now since we got old.
I saw you pass along the blame,
I saw the guilt under your shame,
I see the wolves approach your door.
But then, you’ve never had friends before.
I watched you push the truth aside,
And then you mumbled as they cried,
You were the one to mend its sides,
And then you stumbled as it died.
Oh, I guess this is what you’re gonna be.
So many opportunities for coming clean.
Help me please.
Oh, I guess you’ve shown them
What you’re gonna be.
Missed opportunities for coming clean,
But we’ll see.
So you’re back with your old boys now.
You think you’ve made your mother proud?
’Cause once again the song repeats,
Could be the company that you keep.
I watched your conscience start to slide,
Tried to take it all in stride.
You took my trust, I’ll take my pride.
You gotta live with this the rest of your life.

Buddy it’s gonna hurt,
You’re gonna do it again.
Oh,
So this is the way you’re
Gonna treat your best friends?
Oh,
There’s too much to lose,
No time to choose
Which intentions have contentious flaws.
We’re gonna be ok!
We’re never gonna get saved.
We may have gone too far now.
This delusion, I’m confusing
With the truth crapped out.
Drop your guard, AND SAY
Hip hip, HURRAY!
Show us what you’re made of.
Integrity means everything.
Let’s talk it out,
Put down the gun, AND SAY
Hip hip, HURRAY!
The craving’s insatiable,
But I don’t know what it’s for anymore.
At the core, what is it that
We’re fighting for?
We just want more.
Look at what our lives look like now.
My conclusion, this illusion’s got us
All bummed out.
Drop your guard, AND SAY
Hip hip, HURRAY!
Let’s see what you’re made of.
Let’s get to work, let’s act before
The clock runs out,
Put down the gun, AND SAY
Hip hip, HURRAY!

We’ve got nothing to lose!
Our pack fits tight,
I feel alright,
Let’s shake up the rules.
I really want you to stay!
The timing fits,
Let’s go for it,
We’re dead anyway.
Your love it hurts, so cold.
Come on let’s shake it up, so bold.
Let’s do it fast before it gets old.
I love it,
You’re leaving,
I’m bleeding,
I’m sold.
It’s almost over now.
It wasn’t really what I thought
It would be anyhow.
You’re right, It’s all a joke.
Let’s sit in it for a minute,
And then let it go.
Oh whaddaya know,
I’m running for the door again,
You’ve gone and showed yourself,
You’re not a friend.
We’ve got nothing to lose!
Our pack fits tight,
I feel alright,
We’re chill and we’re cool.
I really want you to stay!
I’m feeling sore,
Can’t take no more,
We’re dead anyway.
Your love it hurts, so cold.
Come on let’s shake it up, so bold.
Let’s do it fast before it gets old.
I love it,
You’re leaving,
I’m bleeding,
I’m sold.

Such A Loser

I can’t find a connection,
Through your deception.
Disingenuine, you’re slick like slime.
Let’s have this conversation again.
We’ll act like we’re friends,
But I’m a porcupine,
Who’s still not fine.
For such a loser, you seem to get around.
Still reeling from all these ups and downs,
I’m finding my feet to get out.
You can take them to class,
But you can’t make them learn.
Start a fire, but it might not burn.
Get in line and wait your turn.
Let’s have this conversation again.
Please tell me this is the end.
My well is dry.
You’re such a loser.
You’ve got to keep your morals tight.
I’d teach you, but who’s got the time?
We never hesitate to spread the hate
And medicate.
Does no one give a shit we’re breeding
Fucking hypocrites?
Hello? Is there anybody out there?

Well what’s this?
I think you’re pretty,
And I’ve got some hopes and promises.
To tell the truth, I think you’re cute.
Can we go out again?
Let’s pump the gas,
And drive this trash straight off a fucking cliff.
Can we please start again?
I wasn’t ready for all this to end,
And now we’re all pretend.
Well, what’s next?
I’m feeling homesick,
But I don’t know where that is.
Please have a seat, I think you’re neat,
Let’s sort this out again.
This broken record’s gonna wreck her,
And she doesn’t care.
But can we start again?
I wasn’t ready for all this to end,
And now we’re all pretend.

Hey, what about the times
You told me you were sad?
And what about the times
You showed me what you had?
Don’t worry, I will keep you safe.
I still remember all the things
You made me do,
I still remember and I’m healing,
How are you?
Don’t worry, I will keep you safe.
I’m ok, that’s what you trained me to say,
I’m ok, it’s all my fault anyway,
I don’t want my skin anymore,
Wanna rip off the stain.
Don’t tell me that you’re oh so scared
Of what you’ll lose,
Don’t tell me that you’re second-guessing
All my truths.
Don’t worry, I will keep you safe.
It’s not for you.

Run With Us

When darkness falls,
Leaving shadows in the night,
Don’t be afraid,
Wipe that fear from your eyes.
The desperate love,
Keeps on driving you all wrong,
Don’t be afraid,
You’re not alone.
You can run with us,
We’ve got everything you need,
Run with us, we are free.
Come with us,
I see passion in your eyes,
Run with us.
When the cold wind blows,
Turn your collar to the cold,
Don’t be ashamed,
If you need someone to hold.
If you’re sinking in quicksand,
And it’s dragging you down,
And you feel you’re going under,
We’ll be around.
You can run with us,
We’ve got everything you need,
Run with us, we are free.
Come with us,
I see passion in your eyes,
Run with us.
When you’re behind closed doors,
All alone by yourself,
And you’re longing inside,
To be somebody else.
You pick up the telephone,
And there’s no one on the line,
Don’t be afraid,
’Cause there’s still time.
You can run with us,
We’ve got everything you need,
Run with us, we are free.
Come with us,
I see passion in your eyes,
Run with us.

A Prolapse in Judgement

Pen in some time to forget.
Why’s it so tough to let go?
Can’t shake that stuff that you said.
I think you’re fucked in the head.
Think you’re so smart, but I know,
You’ll only reap what you sow,
So whatcha waiting for?
You’re fading out.
What’s left?
Picking up the scattered bits,
I’m trying to relate.
Stick to the script,
And we’ll save what’s still ok.
Why’s it so tough to forget?
Pen in some time to let go.
Can’t take it back, you’re too slow.
I think I’m done with what’s left.
Pack up your stuff and let’s go.
Wish it felt good to say I told you so.
So whatcha waiting for?
You’re fading out.
What’s left?
Tripping up the protocol,
I’m trying to relate.
I tried to skip some steps,
But throes don’t go that way.
You’re fading out.
What’s left?
Run it up the flagpole,
See if someone relates.
Let’s get to grips with this,
And save what’s still ok.
