Holland 03:19
lyrics

Holland Don't come in here with your irony No one gives a damn about your art degree Pull in brother and have a drink End is closer than you think So many places without the roughness Do you come as sign of toughness? Just a bunch of working men Is this what you want to do with your friends? Holland Holland Holland Neon that once lit the sky Now hangs dim for older eyes Don't think that you own the place Out on the sidewalk on your face Late nights light a cigarette Mayor hasn't caught them yet Hang you head ‘til just/way past 3 Different kind of port authority

Lab Rat 02:22
lyrics

Lab Rat Pinned to a board waiting for dissection Against my will I take injections (spoken) Force fed grindings from an inhabitable substance Looks the same going in and coming out Measuring changes in palpitations There are hundreds of starving nations (spoken) The empirical data you are collecting is useless You're a human without a doubt Red Dye #5 I'll test it so you'll survive Watch as I slowly die I'm a lab rat Another day spent at the office I'm not the criminal but the accomplice (spoken) The ear you are growing on my back serves no purpose Try an experiment to solve the drought

Billion Stars 03:10
lyrics

Billion Stars Carl Sagan said there are billions and billions of stars So did Galileo and Copernicus I'm sitting on my fire escape but they seem so far I haven't moved a bead on my abacus Where are the billion stars? Tell me, where are the billion stars? Leonard Nimoy said there's life up in the stars And we journeyed in search of I listen carefully but I hear only cars There's got to be so much more above Annie Jump Cannon classified the stars Oh be a fine girl - kiss me I don’t see the twinkling and I wonder where you are It seems to be the mystery

Plastic Soldier 02:37
lyrics
buy track
Plastic Soldier Injection molded from a machine There're so many others just like me Stamped and sealed A gun I wield - to fight the war Our commander can barely even read Tell me to go and I will go Don't have much choice you know I 'm not the guy in control Set up on the battle lines An average Barbie has a better time Face to face Against guys my age - It's such a waste Senseless battles are victimless crimes The demise of the plastic soldier Where's is my crying shoulder In a box it can't get any colder Where's the higher power to rescue me? No salami in the mail Or letters saying, "do not fail" No jeering press Or ticker tape mess - we're just put away Valor for absolutely no avail

Gray Skies 02:07
lyrics
buy track
Gray Skies Faith gets lost Your time is the cost Plans that you made Slowly blur and fade Promises and commitments you gave Are options now Please unlearn the method of Torturing yourself Your skies can't always be gray Your skies can't always be gray The pulse of pain Wracks at your brain The life you attacked Now takes you aback Your skies can't always be gray

Drowning @ Sea 03:07
lyrics
buy track
Drowning @ Sea Seems like you have two faces One clever and one concealed Trying to fit in certain places Things you never will reveal While I'm searching for the ocean I'm drowning at sea Moving in contrary motion A divine dichotomy So desperate to reach you All this stupid technology Provides an instant rejection I guess you don't want to talk to me

Space Heater 01:56
lyrics
buy track
Space Heater See the skeleton embers No one remembers How it started, who left it on? Another hard September That's life in the blender Photo albums scattered on the lawn The bright red glow of poverty Don't you get a hold of me Family huddled around On soaking ground Choke on air that once was fresh All the memories drowned Never soon to be found Traded for a pound of flesh While sleeping in bed I turned my head I noticed that mine had fell Story you never read But how many dead Never noticed their life was hell

Plug Along 02:45
lyrics
buy track
Plug Along Rapunzel please let down your hair It can't be so much fun up there You don't belong in thinner air Trust me it's just stale I saw Miss Little Red Riding Hood Visiting her elders like a good girl should Until a monster came from the woods It's no fairy tale There's things you can't change Plug along anyway Put the screws to fate Plug along anyway Three Little pigs were so industrious Along came a wolf so blusterous Why waste your time it's frivolous You work so hard and fail Hansel and Gretel tried to mark their path But they encountered a similar wrath Is it fate you do the math It's no fairy tale Rip Van Winkle had it right Turned all of his bright days into nights Never had to see a horrible sight Ole Rip had life by the tail I ordered destiny in the mail It was broken beyond repair One person lacking tender care Can cause a heart to fail You work so hard and you fail It's no fairy tale

Last Mistake 02:29
lyrics
buy track
Last Mistake Got one foot stuck in a crater on the moon Other foot's stuck in my mouth Admit my exit's poorly timed and often comes too soon A carpetbagger who fled the south Punch me to the ground Take and take and take I'll still be making sound Not my last mistake Incarceration means getting locked up to get free. Work to avoid the corporate clothes No matter where you’re standing, there you're standing, understand me? So the dusty proverb goes Tried so hard to invoke changes to the air Not a single ear is listening Don't say you like my music I know you don't care about it A cut throat or a christening?
