Done Talking 03:02
"Done Talking" One final request For all the voices we ignore Give our regards on their behalf The gods have smiled on you today Or at least you thinking they have But in the cold Milwaukee nights Something is rising off the shore Crawling out from underneath the bridge Slipping through the streets Your abuses are our energy and tonight we feast Dear Mr. Governor We know you meant no harm But every time you were wrong You made great plans That took us to the darkest places And you vowed your mission unrelenting Even your constituents But assembly will always be real Even your constituents were tired Their position compromised Assembly will always be real But I’ve always thought of myself as a privileged motherfucker Oh cold hands we’ll be warm again And to defend Would be the greatest gift of all For the end be it all The gods have smiled on you today And just maybe the have But tomorrow’s coming swiftly You will be held accountable The tide will change Our minds so powerful will meet Your abuses are our energy And we will suffocate the beast But I’ve always thought of myself as a privileged motherfucker Oh cold hands we’ll be warm again And to defend Would be the greatest gift of all For the end be it all

“Give Me A Hand” Blaze! Failing to move through the Fire Those who blazed the trails before would never believe Never, an uninspired generation have squandered the torch Surrender to zealots and missionaries Our Mission is dead I can’t see a poetic ending And my arms are breaking I can’t see the spigot in my hand Amazed! Watching afar from a barstool As teatols live the dreams we forged Our lives desolate Buried. Our mouths wired shut with threads of ambivalence I can’t see And my arms are breaking I can’t see the spigot in my hand The greatest lies bring hope The bravest sons go dark The festering body. Swollen and bulbous. The Beast is calling and I can’t hide forever The rest of the offerings Fall short of the marking Face now the mouth that you’ve avoided.

Oubliette 02:35
“Oubliette” With substances failing worn out Pay up Bare chested beings, make no illusions this is your life Failure after failure Light the fuse, cut the cord, dream Here’s to the best days of your punishment But up in the tower Ringing the Bells For all you banal minded dimwits Awake again Adrenalin Is the greatest moment for some The damage in me proves I’m capable of something A tragic contraption. A magnet of maggots Low cognition keeps you distant. Keeps you hollow, unthreatening

“Trouble in the Engine Room” With bated breath and a lousy disposition We cling to anything resembling a solution Our hopes hanging on a fabricated premise So desperate to believe And for what Its fucking useless And for what Its fucking worse I built a bomb only to dismantle it But I built another one and I felt it go off When I emerged with burns and scars We were finally free When we thought we’d never see the day Without a chance in hell We made it possible again I will dust myself off And we will ride at dawn again I found the engine room Tucked at the end of a hallway Away from all the noise I stumbled outside into the alley I was in pursuit of something I couldn’t remember There was a hammer leaning against a dumpster So I picked it up. I found the engine room. I tore it down. When I emerged with burns and scars We were finally free When we thought we’d never see the day Without a chance in hell We made it possible again I will dust myself off And we will ride at dawn again

Black Earth 04:00
“Black Earth” When all is done We’ll commemorate you. It was a sound device, although brutally unkind And when we couldn’t take anymore You took us for miles But the clouds are getting closer All the way to Black Earth And the clouds are getting closer And you’re running out of time. Its nothing we didn’t plan for It’s our tenacious nature What makes us great is in the moments It’s not the mellow drama It’s not the failed approach What brings us down is the hubris The subtle aches, The mental breaks It all adds up for goodness sake Disaster years that you make The cryptic signs become your fate This place you know so well In his image you built this hell The empty spaces that you fill A frightened child that you kill Are we getting warmer? Or did these places come to haunt you in life And when we need you the most You cast us aside Four chances to get things right Three times the failing kind Twice now we sold our lies One hero who had to died Its nothing we didn’t plan for It’s our tenacious nature What makes us great is in the moments It’s not the melodrama It’s not the failed approach What brings us down is the hubris

“the Other Hand” You drained your blood into the boundary waters With pioneers and natives A thousand people who no one ever knew Red White and Blue in the closest quarters After the flags were burned After the cocktails proved too strong What will become of you then Another asshole with a pamphlet A wasted life, a broken gift, a pile of shit Is what was given to you But shockingly, you don’t feel much better now The battle broke the man Built your life on a bullshit stance and now you’re trapped with it Why wouldn’t you show me the other hand And I could rest on slower thoughts Like a foreign appendage let in like an intruder You are so different now You are so different now We never bother We cant be bothered The boldest never answer The baddest always win Why wouldn’t you show me the other hand And I could rest on slower thoughts Like a foreign appendage let in like an intruder You are so different now

“Anarchy in the MKE” We thought you were going to be okay Things were looking good When I think of you in that Wisconsin Hotel Alone Your anchor dangling into nothing Your oars swallowed into the ocean deep The shaking the anxiety the memories Finally left you alone You bled For years of shame You bled The circumstance You bled We let you down The circumstance How you were turned to the darkness It just never seemed quite right Won’t let it show, but I can’t let it go I’ve found an enemy not in the open It took you down Stop them, The thoughts the brought you Stop them, we lost you Stop them the thoughts that took you down We lost you.
8.
“Negative Coping Skills” Disobeying the rumbling of your stomach And how may times will you throw it in public Until your numb as fuck Until your bloodshot eyes bleed out Searching for that magical feeling Sweaty palms Your insides are bleeding Hanging by the horns Searching for that mythical figure Brittle bones, burning throats Seeing something bigger When its you against the bull Stay alive It's you against the bull The fight becomes it all This is not a phase, this is not in shape This is your life
9.
“Sad Riffs and Vicodin” You knew the motives When you heard the water running Don’t let these blue lungs fool you With every breath Aquatic Death But you weren’t invited to my permanent pool party This was not your fault I started suffocating long ago When the temperature’s just right and the water’s just so Please forgive me my friends Sad riffs and Vicodins just go so well. A couple of blue pills Sinking now to the depths A couple of Belgians The water now reaching my legs I’ve had my last liquid lunch But come on baby, everybody likes a dip… You knew the motives When you heard the water running Don’t let these blue lungs fool you With every breath Aquatic Death But you weren’t invited to my permanent pool party When the blue turns to black This is the last time we’ll ever be alone
