Captain's Right
04:34

I’ve gone down with the ship
A real black, wet trip
The force of water won’t quit
You decide not to commit
As an ideal idea, I sound alright
When I need your help you’ve got not fight
It’s been a long swim up to the light
Still can’t breathe to claim my life
We spoke in promises
We spoke with broken hands
We spoke in promises
Then you, then you, then you...changed your mind
A Captain’s duty through “might of right”
No choice in a dark soul’s night
The wind and current shift
Anchor cut we set adrift
The hull is breached a serious hit
Sinking fast it hurts a bit
It’s been a long swim up to the light
Still can’t breathe to claim my life

Monsters
02:32

People who lie, some of them are monsters
Despite what you think, appearances matter
High holy reach, starts the clamor
Outward display, an image of glamour
Step on up and climb that ladder
People who lie, some of them are monsters
You do what you’re told, you good little soldier
Hurts to deny when you can’t rely
People who lie, some of them are monsters

Chalky Pale

A chalky pale maleavolence
Practised, brand new face
There’s some troubled talking
Struggling to keep pace
Telling is easy
Everything’s a choice
Anything is breakable
When executed in a certain voice
Integrity is shakeable
When the goal is low
There’s a price to start listening
Going to ask you to speak real slow

Watch It Shine

I watch it shine
Wish it was mine
Clean this corrosion with bleach and brine
Oh it’s just fine
To eat with crooked tines
Closed and crossed we pray before we dine
I’m breaking all of this down
In figures precise and round
I’m breaking all of this down
Pretending to be profound
There’s a definite line
Just admire divine
Greener pastures exist in the mind
To indulge and pine
You can watch it shine
This dark heart aspires to be your valentine
You can choose to cry
Wallow in a heavy sigh
Envy and want pair unkind
Always lie and whine
Wash the stain of grime
Invest in the ties that bind

In Depth
02:25
|
|||
I’m holding roses from the vase
There’s no more water, evaporate
Withered thorns close to my face
Crumbling it’s too late
Pock marks and evident mistakes
Silent forgiveness and permanent shakes
It’s all in depth, it’s in depth, it’s in depth
Crying for the cameras of your soul
I should be thankful for the lull
From expectations and unstated goals
Retire inside my hull

It’s been a long time coming down
Makes you feel under the weather
A string of hope to carry on
Emergent need is not better
Well, you mouth it to yourself
Consistency a sterling tether
I’m begging you
The slant is misconstrued
Change your view, move on
Outcomes not firmly bound
A mystery for the well vetted
Our precious comforts hang around
Wait to see where we are headed
With our sleeping mask pulled down
The latency is truly dreaded
Making change is unsteady
Full of mistakes, moments poetic
Fear and confidence are heady
Conflicted views and tones prophetic
The pain is ever ready
Unless we choose to forget it
