Pardon me, sir
But I really don’t think it’s all that hard to see, sir
This grand experiment has been a failure
And we’re headed for the worst of it I’m quite sure
But it’s alright
It doesn’t matter if we fall yeah it’s alright
It doesn’t matter at all if we don’t unite
Just as long as I am wrong and you are right
Yeah
All
Your modern fears
Your modern spears
Your modern tears
Are bringing me down
Say what’s that look?
I’m just a pawn like you I didn’t write the book
Don’t you think it’s time we take a look?
A revision might have been all that it took
But it’s alright
It doesn’t matter at all if we don’t unite
It doesn’t matter if we fall yeah it’s alright
Just as long as you are wrong and I am right
Yeah
All
Your modern fears
Your modern spears
Your modern tears
Are bringing me down
So check it out
It's safe to say we don't know what it's all about
But I'm sure that we could figure it out
If we agree that we don't have to scream and shout
But it’s alright
It doesn’t matter if we fall yeah it’s alright
It doesn’t matter at all if we don’t unite
Just as long as we are wrong and we are right
Yeah
All
Your modern fears
Your modern spears
Your modern tears
Are bringing me down

In Hiding

Getting nowhere while running in circles, no you can’t get no peace of mind
Drink every last drop in the bottle and spent my very last dime
You’re running scared, cold, broken, and mangled – is this my lot in life?
Stuck in a fog of fear and paranoia, in life you suffer and you die
I’ve been locked inside for days, wastin’ time, waitin’ for something to change me, but I feel like hiding away to avoid my lies
Falling down, there’s no gettin' back up, kills your ambition and drive
Second chances for every sucker but my lack of interest is killin’ mine
Medicate me ‘cos I’m sick in the head, but now I’m just sick in my heart
Feeling alive is a fleeting thing, oh man, it’s tearin’ me apart
I’ve been locked inside for days, wastin’ time, waitin’ for something to change me, but I feel like hiding away to avoid my lies
If I could, I would get my toes back in the sand and try to escape this prison
But this feeling’s got me tremblin’ and shakin’ again, it all adds up to nothing
Somebody help, get me out of my head, I’m losing this fight
Desperate times call for desperate measures and I fear it’s nearing my time
I’ve been locked inside for days, wastin’ time, waitin’ for something to change me, but I feel like hiding away to avoid my lies

Six Days

Made a table and labeled all the days
Listed all that had taken place
Already the details beginning to blur
Triplicating Saturday through Thurs
Never sure what’s real.
Stop wondering if we’re built to last
Fucking using the rear-view to look ahead
(To) me, was said it’s all in the past
Tiny gestures - the pleasures and the hurt.
Oxford comma can win $10 million in court
Measure me up something intoxicating
Music that’s got goodness radiating
Never sure what’s real.
Stop wondering if we’re built to last
Fucking using the rear-view to look ahead
(To) me, was said, “it’s all in the past”
Organizing the chaos takes way too long
Can’t anyone here say what’s going on
Caught up in wanderlust; gave the wrong address
And we’re paying whatever it costs
Never sure what’s real.
Stop wondering if we’re built to last
Fucking using the rear-view to look ahead
(To) me, was said, “it’s all in the past”
Never sure what’s real.
Stop wondering if we’re built to last
Fucking using the rear-view to look ahead
(To) me, was said, “it’s all in the past”

Borehole

My mind's outside my head
Strip it down; bare the thread
Throw myself tumbling from a rocky bed
Tryin' to follow what she said
Make me better blue than red
Find some electrical excitement instead
I reach out and taste you with my arms
Total blackout when alarmed
Myth or superstition, this monster means no harm
Bore a hole right into my hard parts
Through my skull and through my heart
Guarantee you won't stop once you start
I reach out and taste you with my arms
Total blackout when alarmed
Myth or superstition, this monster means no harm
My mind's outside my head
Strip it down; bare the thread
Throw myself tumbling from a rocky bed
Tryin' to follow what she said
Make me better blue than red
Find some electrical excitement instead
My mind's outside my head
Strip it down; bare the thread
Throw myself tumbling from a rocky bed
I reach out and taste you with my arms
Total blackout when alarmed
Myth or superstition, this monster means no harm
Bore a hole right into my hard parts
Through my skull and through my heart
Guarantee you won't stop once you start
I reach out and taste you with my arms
Total blackout when alarmed
Myth or superstition, this monster means no harm
Tryin' to follow what she said
Make me better blue than red.

New Reel

It’s a limpid, dreary, long day
Nothing but our old ways
Something from afar
Challenged who we are
Hangin’ up above like a gold star
Move in a bit closer
Glide in look it over
Fascinating and so cavalier
Like nothing we’ve seen in so many years
Rising up
Hey man, it’s such a steal
Rising up
To the new reel
Spinning wheel over and over
Gears latch and catch the roller
Much the deniers those ones
I’m curious of their sources
Caught up and entwined
A twist in the mind
Can’t recall anything before it
Can’t swallow down
All the good that we found
Such pain no way to ignore it
Rising up
Hey man, how does it feel?
Rising up
To the new reel
Sisters strewn side by side
Feeding the machine on a long ride
Nothing to fear or to see, they say
But this ain’t no way to be. We say …
Rising up
Gonna show ‘em now what’s the deal
Rising up
To the new reel

Blackbirds, Blackbirds, sitting on a wire,
Whatcha see way up there, may we inquire?
Blackbirds, take flight
Blackbirds, Into the night.
Once upon a time, I tried to see it from your side
But no longer can we abide - eyes brimming with hate
Once upon a time.
Blacksheep, Blacksheep, giving all your wool.
Cut you down to the skin, with pockets already full.
Blacksheep, huddle tight
Blacksheep through the night.
Once upon a time, I tried to see it from your side
But no longer can we abide - eyes brimming with hate
Once upon a time.
Miss Merrimack dressed all in black, black, black
With silver buttons straight down her back, back, back
Can’t read or write, but she smokes her daddy’s pipe
Gonna get a whoopin’ from Mamma tonight
Blacksnakes, Blacksnakes, braiding through the grass
Woulda tell the truth of our present, future, and past?
Blacksnakes, unite
Blacksnakes, take back the night.
Once upon a time, I tried to see it from your side
But no longer can we abide - eyes brimming with hate
Once upon a time.
