Confidence Squared

Sliding feet, pea gravel
Foregone the burial signs
Seeping lights in traffic
Forgot the usual lines
You won't get out of this one
No, not this time
Sit tight for dodging futures
You could or not be right
Feel the wind in your corner
Is it theirs or yours
Are you feeling tall today?
Operate the switches
Disarm emotion right now
You could get out of this one
You show you don't know how
We know you were the rooster
but it's quiet now...
Feel the wind in your corner
Is it theirs or yours
Are you feeling tall today?
Feel the tap on your shoulder
Take your turn and show up
Or are you older than you meant?

Robot Dude

Now who can really help it if you were born a robot?
Sink into an oil bath where you can almost
Feel
Emotions are a gas you over which
They bypass
A cylinder that knocks, a minister
Who never talks
You never lost yourself!
What was there to lose?
Now tell me
You're really something else
You're nothing of this world but still you bore me
Dude.
Robot dude.
You know you're my #1 agent of artifice
Fully automated to serve up the guidance
Useless
You never lost yourself!
What was there to lose?
Now tell me
You're really something else
You're nothing of this world but still you bore me
Dude.
Robot dude.

Solution A

Warm up to Solution A
It's the most obvious
The one that will find you
Form a wardrobe of brighter shades
Lose some of that martyrdom
Firmly behind you
And warm up for days
Pollution daze
Entire days...
Some of them behind you
Some of them designed you
Some of them will guide you
Some of them will try to
You can win
You can stick out your chin
Or you could stay
And warm up to Solution A
It's the most obvious
The one that will find you
The one that will find you...

Jo's Empty Shell
02:02
|
|||
|
A tobacco-stained sway
To the boring
Prettiest wave
You are a piece of cake
The news has been spread
All over the sidewalk
The sky is still green
A twister overhead
In Virginia
All four feet and ten
Floating in Budweiser
Flunked out of Pepperdine
Nuked her man at 45
Elephant ear
Drunk under the big wheel
Carnival crash
Visiting hard
The state of Montana
She can see the fresh start
Romanticizing the ranch
Where cattle don't react
And tax returns don't have to be exact
Fly down 93 engines are go
Her half-grey henna rinse blown dry
And it feels good just to be alive tonight
But mania does wane always...
So forget about the dry side
Of Jo's empty shell
The living ghost of a matriarch that never wasn't unwell

Mrs. Rat Poison

Hey, Mrs. Rat Poison
How do you do?
You've one question for me and that's
How much
Is too much for you?
Hey, Mrs. Rat Poison
What do you say?
You could take care of me another way
But not today
When we met at Gillespie Corners
Dropped the whole case
Shattered glass
You took me straight
To the place I live now
And I bled
All over the store
This trip is ill-fated at best
We made it all the way
To rural Utah
And we were blessed!
And we sang a lung out
To idols of flesh
And gods under ground
And we'll know
When we roll the dice
That it's: Run.
Run for your life.
And color the west
And die in plain sight
When given the test
Did you do everything you could?

Hit me with something light for a change
Lace me in boots knee-high for luck
Tromp with me everywhere
It's much colder than I thought
When we open our eyes
And build everyone up to size
Might will make right when you're in charge
Animals, creeps, and giants large
Oh, please be kind to me
Protection no guarantee
When we open our books
Exchange anything beyond looks

2.0
03:16
|

|
The road to 2.0 is paved with shit
I thought it'd be a golden trail but this
Is it
I'm too lost to function
I'm the cost, the junction
Where you took the wrong turn
And every future is burned
Around you...
Around you I can't even state my name
Fall apart, surround the drain
Around me I know you don't feel the same
Around you I am just a shame
The road to 2.0 is poorly lit
I thought I would feel better but I feel
Like shit
I'm too sauced to function
I'm the cost, the junction
Where you took the wrong turn
And every future is burned
Around you...
Around you I can't even state my name
Fall apart, surround the drain
Around me I know you don't feel the same
Around you I am just a shame

Don't Remember
02:30

"Hey, I know it's old and all..."
That toast was very nice
Thank you, Paul
And I know we're the last one-off
So I'll just watch you walk away
And if I'm honest with myself
Know there's nothing I can say
But I'm kidding always...
You see it doesn't do me any favors
I know it's old too
Borrow something blue
Wrap it 'round the neck of your mind
And watch your problems float away!
Every splinter, every day
Old as winter, hot as May
So laugh out of time
Don't forget the way
And please don't remember
(me)

The Sting
03:07
|

|
Wins, fits and starts, and dilapidated hardware
Way down into the bin
And sold
We've been out in the snow
and we've buried every lesson
getting colder with games galore thrown
You always said you'd be there
Around
You will know when it goes
that your ghost has separated
if you blow that it goes
at all
We took you for a patsy
Abound
How did you get here?
It's easy
Did you know you're not the only one?
And when you froze the flood so easily
You had the illusion to think
That victory was right on the brink
Short Distance Show
you could really take a lesson
it's the hook that I know
but the barb your only presence
I know the sting for I've been
Around here

I don't know why
I love you so
I don't know why
I hurt you so
When you go, I'll be sad
When you go, I will know
That's how it's gonna be
That's how it's gonna be when you're turned down

Doubt The Heights
03:37
|
|||
|
You've been wondering, I have not
Always blundering, I'm all I've got
Sacrificing the knowing when
To up the pricing to let you in
And climb for a second only
To doubt the heights
And question not where it goes
Won't even watch
Or know
I know.
Determined years, and nothing found
Stakes were high, but we were on the ground
The enterprise so resolute
And growing much too tall above the boot
Climb for a second only
To doubt the heights
And question not where it goes
Won't even watch
Or know
Or care to know
I?
No.

Supersuperstitious
V1
White rabbit, blink black tears, furious-
ly run dry…
Long shadows of past years, burnt memor-
ies you thought had died, the embers
shift, I rub my eyes…
v2
the diff’rence between a touch and a b-
ruise is the weight behind.
and cold settles heavy no matter the t-
ime. So I’ll ad-
mit, -looks strange when I
turn back from the light, but when I
see - the flame, I see the f-
ire in his eyes and there’s no
pool that’s deep enough for me to d-
ive beneath his gaze, no words that
anyone can say to turn the tide…
_
I freeze, he leaves, I’m left a-
live.
-
V3
You hold me close, my throat gets
tight.
Like you’re running along my skin with a
knife. Oh Christ, I taste bile!
Please stop! You’re not him, but
I’ve gone back in time. You’re touching
Weak spots! Defrosting
meat, I’m burning a-live. Can you
feel that I’m still cold inside?
_ What do you see? When you n-
otice I can’t speak and look
in my panicked eyes?
C1:
__ I hear nothing but my
Blood, a distant train. Your
shoulders on my face. Words like
keys, you thumb your chain.
__ chiming softly on your l-
ips, we’re at my door, hold each
other out’ve the rain, watch the
cars draw silent wakes…
v4:
Don’t think I said no to him even
Once…
Think that’s why I say sorry so
much… too much! - You’re not re-
fused, my love - my thews
don’t know how to give what he just
took, blow by blow, from his
prisoner in my skin, made me
fit him like a glove! Said it’s what
boys like me are meant to be, we’re
good for nothing else. – You
gave me back my body, but
I don’t recognize myself!
Reprise of C1:
C1:
__ I hear nothing but my
Blood, a distant train. Your
shoulders on my face. Words like
keys, you thumb your chain.
__ chiming softly on your l-
ips, we’re at my door, hold each
other out’ve the rain, watch the
cars draw silent wakes…
c2
the snows of yesteryear are
in my heart, it seems. They
frost the world I see, night falls
early on my dreams…
so I’m sorry if I o-
nly kiss your cheek, in your
eyes I see the spring, in your
heart the dawning day, in your
hands a place to be!

Heaven sent, you invited
I was spent, unignited
Blowing stars
I see you different now
I will make an effort today
I will hear every word that you say
And align with every cycle that you're slave to
Embracing a denial when I know it's true
I know who you crash into
Heaven sent the anti-hero
To take us from fat back to zero
Crashing cars
I see you different now
I will make an effort today
I will hear every word that you say
And align with every cycle that you're slave to
Embracing a denial when I know it's true
I know who you crash into
You got your way it's always so
Cry as I may, I will collapse
And waive my nights
To pick
No bones
Once more
Cuckold nigh...
