lyrics

Balled up and beat down
I know where I stand now
Called out the re-route
Seed took to salt ground
Falter to keep crowns
Past due they speak now
There word I wrote down
Follow then float out

Let go don’t hold doubt
Suit up and ship out
Hold true with each pound
Go till your shot down
I won’t come back now
Make use don’t allow
Push past the how. Clouds
And walk from the crowd

Called our for keeps now
Lost with no way out
Broken. Less teeth. Clowns.
Polish their speech, sound
Ensure your worth, bound
By numbers and rock crowds
Contain the curse pursed
Lip service but worse

Not far from the curb, swerve
Where problems occur, jerks
Line up for their thirst irks
It hurts, like compassion but worse
Well trash gathers fast
We just choke on our words
We deserve what we purge
Man it’s time that we learn
Watch it burn

Suffocating the statement
No breath
I move like I could make it
But hopeless
I'm through having to take it
How they said
Let make moves past basic
We pretend



I don’t know how I got here
Or where to go
Thirty paces back
I thought I saw a ghost
Relax, snapped back on track
They say I gotta go
I told you so
I heard, but froze

I don’t know should I laugh here?
Or hold the phone?
When threats nest, taking stress
We're taking water folks
At best don’t second guess
Either you do to don’t
Either your bridge or moat
Sent on a frozen rope

I now know why they bother
And why they don’t
Ten years prior, tie here
Got vertigo
Between lies and the liars
you packed for home
But you didn’t go
Follow through, don’t choke

Regards, reset on die here
Conceptual
I’m moving parts, gears make sparks
Tin man credible
Write it down on the flyer
Keep it legible
Kids susceptible
We undetectable

Suffocating the statement
No breath
I move like I could make it
But hopeless
I'm through having to take it
How they said
Let make moves past basic
We pretend

No loose ends
