AT WAR WITH PEACEFUL MISBEHAVIOR The signs are often drifting out in front of you. You will sit there waiting for something to slap your face. All I wanted was some air to breathe. Now I'm looking out if I can find my peace. So speak thy name And pray for a dramatic change. The way things are going I doubt you will find your place. The signs keep flashing out right in front of you. You still sit there waiting for something to slap your face. All I wanted was some air to breathe. But now I'm looking out if I can find my peace. So speak thy name And pray for a dramatic change. The way things are going I doubt you will find your place. Waking me up, it's fucking 12 o clock, your cries are not enough. Wait til the day (THE DAY WHEN WE FIND) we find a better way to heal our misery. So speak thy name and pray for dramatic changes. The words you spoke, the words you broke. The trends you never started. Your head's held high, you are my spite. I wish you never started. So go, bring the change around you! And see where the fuck it gets you! Your home is giving nobody hope And your words are too damn slow. I wish you'd shut your mouth. Hoping just slows things down! So don't come around.

DAYS ON REPEAT My shades are closing when the sun comes up I lost my change, lost my watch Well, I seem to have found time on the tower To the top, to the top of the hat From the horizon, we fall to the black From the horizon, we fall to the black Well we met at the center but I kept walking It's so easy to walk away when I always come back I'll be damned if I'm stuck on the road to find my way to you My shades are closing when the sun comes up I lost my change, lost my watch Well, I seem to have found time on the tower To the top, to the top of the hat From the horizon, we fall to the black From the horizon, we fall to the black Well we met at the center but I kept walking It's so easy to walk away when I always come back These circles my feet keep winding in Are leaving me farther from the beginning These circles my feet keep winding in Are leaving me Farther from the beginning And soon you'll see I'll never make it 'til the end You're leaving me Farther from the beginning And soon you'll see I'll never make it 'til the end Let's go! I let go of the shackles that have me chained up to the ground Release any clutches that will mute my sound My voice is not wearing any thinner Nothing's gonna stand in my way where I keep my thoughts clear These roads are mine but there's nothing to find It's a constant relapse between space and time Revolutions every second keep ticking away It's hard to find a steady frame of mind in this empty place You're leaving me Farther from the beginning And soon you'll see I'll never make it 'til the end You're leaving me Farther from the beginning And soon you'll see I'll never make it 'til the end

ROTTING ON CAROUSELS WITH CLONES Pseudo intellectual socialites You're too caught up with your human rights But not strong enough to put up a fight Pseudo fascist brats Pretentiousness has you whining for a way back You'd rather run and I've got your bags packed Your screams for some redeeming change will never come this day Cries of hope, tears of difference Your eyes all melt into a conforming trance Those sightless eyes expecting to be saved never find their way Claws at the wall, cursing disgrace Your nothingness has shown its face You're walking so tall You can't break your fall I'm bringing you down This pathetic bullshit you brand is at it's end This is my purpose for screaming The copycat kids are never leaving HEY! HEY! Your songs all sound the same So give it up and obsess over the next trend You're walking so tall You can't break your fall I'm bringing you down This pathetic bullshit you brand is at it's end We are not the same In a perfect world Although you're still trying To have your difference heard

ELBOWS & ARROWS You elitist mother fuckers always talking about the Saturday life Walking two-faced, holding shamrocks while you're breathing in false glam tonight I will piss on everyone because I can tonight By setting up my bluffs to force the fold I've walked these empty streets that you call home (Through the entry, out the alleyway) To see the huts of shit you come from (Like something I ought to find you in) Like when I said I'd open your eyes to a place inside my head But what's the point of seeing when you're dead You sit and wait, never separate from your attaching hipster friends You contemplate, but you're too afraid to bring this to an end I'll chastise, because I've memorized every single word you said I'll devastate, never run away from your empty bullshit threats I've come to terms that you'll never to learn just to drop the ball You keep on struggling something as absent as the asphalt Time has passed and you make it last like you're some scrapbooking hero You keep on struggling, there's no way to bring justice to redeem your faults I'm watching you wash down You're washing down I've come to terms that you'll never learn You sit and wait, never separate from your attaching hipster friends You contemplate, but you're too afraid to bring this to an end I'll chastise, because I've memorized every single word you said I'll devastate, never run away from your empty bullshit threats
