LYRICS
Forgot to get off in time
I’m thinking…
I’m along for the ride
Best to hop off
If there’s a next stop
Headed to the end of the line?

Missed stagnation
At the station
Forgot to get off in time
I’m thinking…
I’m along for the ride

LYRICS
Roll up
Sit back
It’s a hell of a show
Rock on
Blow up
A political hoe
Digging dirt
Rigging hurt

Get on
Stand up
A political woe
Digging dirt
Rigging hurt

Digging in the dirt
Digging up the dirt
Pigging out the hurt

LYRICS
Going out on…
Going out on…
Going out on a limb
But, if you were him

Baked in the cake
Baby comes tumblin’, tumblin’ down

LYRICS
Needed time for my head
After what you said
Needed time for my head
Having been put to bed

Forgot to take your meds?
My hearts done… bled
Bled out the red
Needed time for my head

LYRICS
There’s trouble and turmoil
Above the soil
A smother of brother on brother
(Oh, brother!)

A simple soul
… with an earthly goal

There’s trouble and turmoil
Above the soil
The twisted
Sister on sister
(Oh, brother!)

A simple soul
… with an earthly goal

There’s trouble and turmoil
Above the soil
Child gone wild
Rant upon parent

A simple soul
… with an earthly goal

There’s trouble and turmoil
Above the soil
The hostility in humanity
… beyond me

A simple soul
… with an earthly goal

LYRICS
Know that
Your brother’s insane
No, you’re not your brother’s keeper
Make your great escape
Before it gets deeper
Doesn’t run in the family
Runs out
Without a doubt
You needn’t remain
Run, run into the son
That he use to be
’cause he doesn’t know me

When the beat
Makes you complete
(Com-beat)
You can do so much more
Get up! And, on the floor
It’s time to shake your core

Open the door
To so much more
And the rhythm
Brings her to him

bookmark_borderIt Ain’t Pretty

LYRICS
Well, when you put it like that
How can I dispute the fact
Oh, worm and wiggle I will
Until I still never will
Accept reality
’cause it ain’t pretty
And my self-pity
Distracts me
So, for now
It’s a pity party
No self-respect
No self-responsibility
Just a reject
In regret-ability
