Dear Detective
I’m sorry for your loss,
How was I to know
The clown would take it all
My admission
I bought him as a pawn
A coin with just one side
But integral for the fall
Your fallen soldier
You should’ve seen his eyes
The demon’s blood attached
I know he picked a side
The hatter and puppeteer, they are they rats
With them in the floor, we’ll never be free to dance
So breathe in your own destiny, and stand by my side
What this world needs, is a swift forceful goodbye
I’m tired of hearing all the bureaucrats
Forget their latency it’s time to act
You are the only one who stands a chance
Now let me show you true honest romance
Open your eyes, this ends tonight
My ancient scribe, the pit runs dry
Your parents would say, it’s better this way
The world at your fist, we’ll take more than this
The farmhand and that flightless bird, they are the rats
With them in the floor, we’ll never be free to dance
So breathe in your own destiny, and stand by my side
What this world needs, is a swift forceful goodbye

Mockingbird

Maybe if I lay down my head
I’ll forget, about the place I’m in
My eyes shut - just doesn’t silence the screams
Do you know - how long I’ve been out?
Can’t recall - anything but doubt
Could you see - through my surreal disguise?
I heard
A voice
It came - from inside my window pane
It said
It needs
The sane
Cold and scared - stretched out on the floor
I’ve been here - plenty times before
Hold the thought - visualize escape
I’m surprised - we lasted this long
I’ve not once - been listed as strong
There’s a chance - that one of us will make it
Regret mixed with hopelessness makes one deadly cocktail
Give me one more for last call, later explain the drunken tale
I forget - how we designed the plan
Scalpel, plus - the luck of the hand
Careful, now - this must be timed out just right
Wait til the guard gets a load of me
Syringe first - maybe one or three
The hunger - might take over, we’ll see
This is a message for someone though I won’t pretend
Who it’s for or why I wrote it, find out in the bitter end…
The bitter end…
The bitter end

On The Brink

Every part feels like observation
Like a cancer
But so the standard and predictable
For the normal
The smallest tasks are too daunting
The shame and guilt too crippling
Zero get through this life with no fuck ups
I’ll be there at the end to hold you up
I’m shaking too but I will be right here
I’m staying in place friend, so dry your tears
Why is my view so distorted and bleak
Burns in my head
No one asked to be here so why play nice
You fucking robots
The smallest tasks are too daunting
The shame and guilt too crippling
Zero get through this life with no fuck ups
I’ll be there at the end to hold you up
I’m shaking too but I will be right here
I’m staying in place friend, so dry your tears
We’ll silence Doctor Morrow with our song
And we’ll get everyone to sing along
I’ll make sure that no evil can get through
This world is meaningless…
…Unless it has you

The Pocket

Runaway runaway
Some might call it fate
Come with me come with me
I know just the place
No use for work when the world is burning down
We’re only here once - so pass the bottle around
One more shot one more shot
Then we’ll hit the road
Battle scars battle scars
Tales will be told
All of us orphans found out where we belong
Our magic differs but we still sing the same song
And we’ll hide away
We will hide away
We will hide away, together
From Oblivion
Sing with me sing with me
Be a friend not foe
Find a way find a way
Outrun tomorrow
No use for work when the world is burning down
We’re only here once - so pass the bottle around
And we’ll hide away
We will hide away
We will hide away, together
From Oblivion
We’re not lost, but cannot be found
To get your taste, just follow the sound
And we’ll hide away
We will hide away
We will hide away, together
From Oblivion

Lasso Of Truth
03:26

The embers fade
As a lonely campfire winds itself away
Getting kind of hard to see the light
You've built a maze,
Lies make their contribution to the haze
But your tinfoil plan can't see me right...behind you
Waiting right there where I knew you'd be
Put you to pasture what you've sown...you'll reap
No matter the stakes - I'll get to the truth
Whatever it takes - I'll get to the proof
I'll interrogate - we'll get right down to the bottom
You'll never escape - my Lasso of Truth
And through the mire,
try to appear innocent but then you fire
bullets of deceit I'll cast aside
It's time to pay
Your mendacious tendencies are on display
Destroyed by the truth you tried to hide...and (but) found me
Waiting right there where I knew you'd be
Put you to pasture what you've sown...you'll reap
No matter the stakes - I'll get to the truth
Whatever it takes - I'll get to the proof
I'll interrogate - we'll get right down to the bottom
You'll never escape - my Lasso of Truth
No matter the stakes - I'll get to the truth
Whatever it takes - I'll get to the proof
I'll interrogate - we'll get right down to the bottom
You'll never escape - my Lasso of Truth

The Way

A couple years back, when all the world was bright
A balanced sector, which stems the need to fight
How were we to know the changing tide
The rotting invite from inside
Intent regardless, you crossed the fucking line
Without a conscience, we’d never stand behind
Now all our ties cut, we’ll have to start again
Say goodbye to this old man
But wait, your name comes up again
And floods me with jealous discontent, it’s not ok
I still have questions, like what the hell’s the drive
I know it can’t be, whatever’s left inside
You really thought that the world would stay the same
Halfass it all, lean back on fame
So I will be there the day that you’re replaced,
The look of shellshock riddled over your face
It’s not about us, and at the very end
We’ll still lift up our rings again
I see the things I can’t afford
Delays my time, my life I move towards it’s not ok
So tonight, I won’t be looking back
Or focus on the past, so stay out of my fucking way
My friends are by my side, we’ll fly out in the night
Our shining lights will guide the way

The Corps Vancouver, British Columbia
As darkness slithered unnoticed into 2814 posing as music, few were aware of the ever dimming light. But there were four souls who saw through the lies. The gods they had served for years, still on the battlefield, will someday relent with pride and pass down the torch. These four will charge their rings and make a stand 'til the deaf hear the light. ... more
