lyrics

uncurtaining catch a frame
hand held shout with the nameless
lock heads repeated lock heads
in a semi-sweet motion
conducting
reminiscent of the remaining
renaming
reaping
to full bodied and weeping
we're so sad
just a few life forms left
they'll be killed soon for prof it
buy them to save them make it quick
just a few forms left make us quit
monopolies design make it quiet
under the radar illegally
no permission needed
as they're under the radar
rewritten to fit rewriting to rob
no more illegal now the norm
new rules for everything
here's your form
in line hours at a time
next step one step behind
no rhythm no rhyme
novacaine us all
fears product placement's in the mall
from ambien to xanax
you think I'd feel relax
but it only covers my tracks
I cry grenades in crowds
supplying busted vision
I'm pleading simpler version
they're pledging join our legion
this blocking's my rendition of
time and space hates
more hardships
more head trips
more dead weight
when it all comes down to the wire
I won't be the one blasting missiles
I'll be ranting at the top of my lungs in the street
while tearing my hair you see me
some semi-mad semi-poetic eloquence
capturing the moment just right
cause there's always and anthem needed
one of the bravest endings known to man
tear jerking in all it can
knew this was a one way mission in tradition
steeped then swept it's in the genes
trapped for the length but this will be the f ire
I love you very much please pass me the torch
to burn our path f inal
the end is good going down in f lames
and I'm still here ranting on and on again
victory is ours but what of the scars
in my brain in my brain in my brain it's in my brain
at the perfectly wrong time
you're everything to me
all that I want to be
but never will
I keep mementos close by
with a carriage on call at a discount price
and I'm driven to the carnage
that I rent every week on a shoe string budget
and I deliver myself to the news daily
so I'm growing into the ever deepening
pinnacle of a blues singer gone singular and weary
with my busted guitar missing all strings so it's a drum
and I pound it repeatedly singing
keep smiling keep striving
keep defying keep defying
I expect the illusive team of Davis and Waters
to walk in at any moment and say you got us to defy orders
so we've come together for the f irst time
with you at the helm please spit that dope rhyme
but time's running out keep striving I shout
with no accompaniment it seems I've smashed my guitar to pieces
my illusions are serious
and I'm working with my friend delirious
