Why can't we just admit
We're enamored with
The captors of our state
To say that we invest
in our own Stockholm Syndrome
would undermine the weight
Of how we hold the hand of oppression
With a smile on our face
We're on a leisurely stroll
Into the belly of the beast
Stand
'till they all fall down
Until they all fall down
They have poisoned the garden
Polluting air carbons
The water's not safe to drink
While they procure record profits
They work us like puppets
We cede and assimilate
We won't need this abundance
Of marginal substance
When unchained from restraints
There is value in sedition
When we begin to question
Those who subvert our rights
Expose their true intention
Don't be complicit in corruption
When power and greed unite
Dissent must ignite
Incite a protest call for justice
Fight the elite and alt-right
Let them hear you scream
Esprit de corps
We need to stand together
Until they all fall down
There are fat cats on the hill
Kneading the bleeding
And no one wants to touch them
They want us polarized
To turn blind eye
But now's the time to join and stand together
Know this:
Silence that breeds
Will one day bite the hand that feeds

Willett In Dresden

Who cares These beers
They aren't helping me at all
I can't have the hydro moments
Hide these tremors or withdraws
And I don't mean to worry
But did anyone, here, hear last call
'Cause I'm not even tipsy
So feed me whiskey
I've hit the limits of reproach
Look down my head in shame
To the rolling eyes
Every time I say
Never, never ever, say never again
This is the last time
No more lines crossed
No more last straws
No more close calls
These DT's
Have gone on
Far too long
Hey bro, can I buy ya a beer?
Nah man, I've had several already
Well not tonight
But in life...
I've had more drunken nights in Nashville
Than I care to admit
And that time while in Hawaii
I blacked out and took a shit
In the hallway
While on Warped Tour
Guff and I stole a forklift
But we legit got lit
When Willett brought us drugs
In Dresden
Double fisting
And through it all
I wish I could say
That we stand tall
But we fall down
Never, never ever, say never again
Who's got some booze

Best Friend

You used to wait By the door
You won't be waiting anymore
It will never be like it was before
But I will always have the memories
And all the love we shared
In this a solitary space
Where affection was once found
Now a quiet and empty house
Where you are not around
They say all loss
Will heal with time
I don't care about the future
Let's rewind
The swells of life bring misery
But they were honors for you and me
Now heartache replaced certainty
You went from soulful to suffering
I chose denial and disbelief
When you were loyal and comforting
I played it tough 'cause I needed to be
Like a laurel on your grave stone
There sets a plaque in my back room
A tribute to better days
But it won't erase the pain
And that's ok
'Cause in my heart, my mind, my soul
You will remain
I'll favor memories
Until we meet again
I think of you everyday
Find you in my stories and my dreams
I cherish the reverie
And honor life we made
As I adorn you into my skin
I hope one day we will play again
And I'll recite your name until the end
This songs for my best friend

Sedition

Erupt with rage
Burn down this fucking city
There's no shame in being angry
Lift up the seat
I'll hold your hand
While we vomit in disgust
Move through streets
Glass bottles break
Plunge the vein with medication
It's a scary thing, insanity,
When the sane don't know what
We all know they're crazy
Sedition oh yeah
Show me the violence
Chaos and riots
It's the only thing this system understands
When rolling through violence
So ride the surge enjoy the fall
How many martyrs paid in blood
To reform injustice
How many protestors for peace
Are planted in Gods acre
Who took a bullet to the brain
Or another smear campaign
From the fucks who pull the strings
Rats in the house
Rats on the hill
We work so they can rob and steal
Your cupboards bare
Your wallet's empty
While they're all left with plenty
So we crave
Sedition oh yeah
Show me the violence
Chaos and riots

Villians and Heroes

Hate works like a plague
Weighs the frailty of man
A flawed mind
Fueled and primed
Powerless in the hands
Of the orator of a historic
Disillusioned plans
They indoctrinate
Dominate and take
A dogmatic stance
Villains and heroes
Arise from bias and belief
Villains and heroes
Battles are won in the pages of history
Oh how they twist the lines
To stitch the wounds of war
Sewing history
To hide beneath
The skin of myth and lore
As the writer wields the sword
A regimented force-
Feeds mindless whores
Like fish on lures
To proliferate a course

Good Intentions

This world will leave you broken
That's what I've come to see
Small worries grow
Into a storm
Or Gather suddenly
They can sink a steady ship
In the calmest sea
I know Amy felt adrift
Her final breath left no relief
I wish I'd been a humane human being
I wish I'd been a better friend
If I had answered
Her phone call
She might be here today
We could go out to a show
I'd tell her I'm sorry
But it's what we do
Not what we say
From good intentions
The road to hell is paved
I'll never be the same
I don't deserve to anyway
When Amy was there for me
I failed to repay
Now all I own is shame
Ghosts in the haze of memories
Haunt me from the grave
Like scattered broken glass
Lives are shattered in the grasp
Of a clinched fist
From a senseless
Sudden tragedy
If my words were salvation
Upon a punk rock heroine
She'd curse the novelty of heroin
It makes no sense to me
Amy wasn't some junkie
At the fate of Hate City
This world may leave you broken
Down in the debris
Sifting through the wreckage
For some hidden meaning
Hidden underneath
There was no reason no relief
For a lost girl in search of peace
Much too sudden
Too young to die
