Notorious Details

You’ve got to find the light inside the dark when everything is turning upside down
And the world is going crazy
Now you can hide behind your mask and you can say it’s alright
But we all know that the truth is quite hazy
We learn to keep our distance
Our fight requires persistence
We come together while we all stay away
We march for lives that matter
While all the rich get fatter
But there is nothing left for you when it’s payday
I read the news but I didn’t believe it
And then we heard the cries of the grieving
Can’t get our shit together, feels like they’re lying
We pick a fight, don’t care what’s right as we’re dying
Now you can follow every post that stirs the anger up the most
Who gives a damn about the truth when you’re busy
You got to get behind your tribe, they know to conquer they divide
They will keep you spinning round ‘til you’re dizzy
I see the writing on the wall, it’s alarming
Instead of healing all the wounds, they keep harming
The ones who lead us are addicted to power
They take it all and it’s our lives they devour
They’ll take you, they’ll rape you, they’ll burn you, they’ll hate you
We’ll face them, we’ll chase them, we’ll rise up, defeat them
You’ve got to look inside your heart before this world tears us apart
‘Cause time is running out and we’re gonna lose it
We’ve got to rise above the greed and hate this doesn’t have to be our fate
There is another way if we choose it
Choose it, choose it, choose it, choose it

Unwound String
05:00

Well I’m about to come undone, it’s never fun, like a loaded gun, I want to run
I got to take it slow, try not to react, I try to lay it back and keep my vibe intact
So I keep the time, and I make it rhyme, ‘cuz they’re pushing my buttons nearly all of the time
I like to count it off, my lucky seven, maybe this time, it’s eleven
Gang stalkers
Gas lighters
They build the tension
Groups of three, they give release!
Well he’s about to come undone, we’re having fun, like a loaded gun, we just begun
Like a bird in my hand, you got two in the bush
State degreed haze, my job is to push
Gonna strip him, and rip him, and put in a ring, ‘til he loses grip, like an unwound string
He likes to count it off, his number seven, maybe this time, it’s eleven
Gang stalkers
Gas lighters
They build the tension
Groups of three, they give release!
He’s being followed, he’s got the willies
We’re saying these things about him, Yeah!
I’m being followed, I’ve got the willies
They’re saying these things about me? Yeah! It’s me.
He’s being followed, he’s got the willies
We’re saying these things about him, Yeah!
Followed!
Willies!
Saying things!
Me/Him Yeah!

Down and Out
05:45
|
|||
The morning light hits my face
Roll out of bed, hit the floor
Last night’s trials come full circle
Blow it away, don’t need it anymore
All I want right now
Is for the tire to meet the road
When the past is outta sight
Then the past can finally told
Light meets shadow
Give meets take
Muscles are burning, mind ain’t clear
Say hello to the demon, goodbye to the fear
As long as I can move
As long as I can fly
As long as I can find the route
Then I’m not yet...down and out
Check the mirror once again
Who will I be today?
Itchin’ and scratchin’ and clawin’ around
The pendulum will hopefully swing my way
All I want right now
Is for my fire to burn the road
When the past is all gone
Then the past can finally be explode
Light meets shadow
West meets east
Pistons are pumping, the sky is clear
Hello, Mr. Demon, goodbye Mr. Fear
As long as I can move
As long as I can fly
As long as I can find the route
Then I’m not yet...down and out

Presto Change-O
05:22
|
|||
One day, you stepped into my light
Then presto change-o, you were gone
Like heat that escaped out into time
The only thing that I got right, is that I was wrong
Goodbye, Bernice
You took my heart and you threw it away
So long, Bernice
You’re the reason that I'll always rue the day
We were a flash of fire and smoke
Then a real burn began...when I awoke
So clever again with your...magic trick
But all it did, yeah, all it did was make me...sick, sick, sick
Goodbye, Bernice
You took my heart and you threw it away
So long, Bernice
You’re the reason that I'll always rue the day
Another tease, another sting, another scene blurs
I want to see pictures, and all you got is words
With a flick of the hand, and a twist of the wrist
For you, I swore I'd always defend
But now I think we’ve reached the end
Screw you, Bernice
You took my heart and you threw it away
Fuck you, Bernice
You’re the reason that I'll always rue the day

Shade On My Sun
04:11
|
|||
I decide to trust again, build it up on stronger ground
We had come together, with you on your way down
You with so much beauty, I never had a chance
But I found myself inside your world, just following your dance
Now you’re always casting, your shade upon my sun
Make me doubt myself, you make me want to run
Always throwing your shade upon my sun
Sometimes it gets so hard
I’m feeling like I’m done
And I know I’m not the only one
It’s a subtle attack on me, shake me at my core
Find the little cracks, and you break me up some more
But you’ve got all that beauty, and throw it in my face
Make me feel so little, I’m feeling out of place
After all the rain, you start blocking out the pain
And it gets so hard to feel sometimes, don’t want nobody there inside
But then I saw your face and I thought I found a place
Where I could free my mind just one more time
Drown the past in a bottle of wine
I told you, I need you
You called me, your baby
I trusted, to touch you
But now you’re like maybe
You shade me, I can’t see
You make me, go crazy
You stick me, I’m bleeding
You hear me, I’m pleading
You call me, your baby
You call me, your maybe
You call me, You call me
You call me, You call me

So Many Times
04:11
|

I know you don’t need me as your friend
But you can hang here for a while
The story you left behind will end
But then there’ll always be more trials
You could be one, you’re on your way
You could be gone so far away
There’s never enough to make the grade
There’s only the hours in this day
You might lose your mind this time
But you won’t find it, you won’t find it,
You are not designed to tow the line
So many times that I looked for the answer
So many times that I fell so low
So many times that I reached out to touch you
So many times that you let me go
I knew you’d be wondering where I’ve been
But sometimes I just need my space
I heard that you’re coming back again
Maybe we can find that place
I can be bad when you’re so good
But I could be better if you understood
Sometimes it’s not what it seems to be
It just doesn’t mean that much to me

I Promise
04:11
|
|||
I know I haven’t been the best at times
But it feels like life is so damn hard
You drag your ass up out of bed
And you pray that you got it in you
One more time...
Another day…
Put your nose to the grindstone
And you just can’t wait to get home
But I try...to find some hope down deep inside
Yes I need to change my state of mind
‘Cause there’s got to be another way
And I promise I’ll find it someday...
I promise, I promise…
I promise, I promise…
I promise, I promise…
I see the lines getting deeper on my face
And it seems to get harder to keep the pace
The days are dragging but they’re flying away
And I don’t even know if it’s worth it
To play this game...
For another day...
Keep running on the treadmill
Keep grinding away
I remember being young I believed that I could fly
Everybody told me keep on reaching for the sky
But life is like a heavy bag you carry on your back
It weighs upon your soul...and then your dreams begin to crack
But I’ll find them...
I promise, I promise…
I promise, I promise…
I promise, I promise…

Eventide
06:19
|

Challenge me
Take me on an adventure
Where the blue of the sea meets the blue of the sky
Defend me
Against trials fact or fake
Breathe real deep now, cuz you are free
Briney lips
Salty eyes
The vasty deep is where Poseidon lies
Reject me
So I can push back against ya
Open up and swallow it all, once again
Funnel me
Into a world that I can feel
Sinking into my mind, deconstruction time
Briney lips
Salty eyes
The vasty deep is where Poseidon lies
The maelstrom comes
Blows me away
Even Tide is pandemonium

Humanity
06:22
|

I had it all in the palm of my hand
But I built my house on a pile of sand
The rain came along and it washed me away
Left me alone under these skies so gray
Can't find a fix cause I'm broken
Can't take a breath cause I'm chokin'
Strangers pretend not to see me
I put out my cup but it's empty
The loneliness eats at my soul everyday
I’m lost on this earth and I’m fading away
All that I ask is for some dignity
All that I need is for someone to see
My humanity…
Moving along like a ghost on the street
I’m feeling so cold then I’m feeling the heat
My only possessions are packed in this cart
Praying for luck as I tear trash apart
Can't catch a break when I’m hungry
Can’t find a place to rest easy
This world is so cruel when you’re nobody
They don’t give a damn, got no money

Return
04:50
|
|||
For years and years, I ran away
I didn’t want to face the pain
I finally came around to see
That I could find recovery and I stayed
Shared a positive vibe
I learned to thrive
I saved my life
I finally came around
Put my feet on solid ground
And my soul I found...my soul I found
I finally came to see
A better part of me
And my soul I found...my soul I found
The past still haunts me everyday
I knew there’d be a price to pay
Had to trust despite my doubt
Had to keep the poison out
Discovering what life is worth
And struggle to find my own rebirth
I learned to stand up to my fears
And slowly the days turned into years
I didn’t know, I couldn’t feel
I thought that it was so unreal
An empty shell, I pushed away
But black and white turned into gray
The road ahead is hard I know
Start over again, so I can grow
Grow up to see what I can be
I once was blind but now I see
Found my soul
My soul I found
I once was lost...but I have returned
Yes I have returned, I have returned, I have returned
