Scandalized

Paralyzed, paralyzed, paralyzed
Feeling helpless
Feeling rushed, feeling rushed
I feel like I can’t stop moving
Got no time, got no time,
I’ll make time when I’m lonely
Scandalized, scandalized, scandalized
By our dear friends
Open eyes, open eyes
All their eyes are upon us
A disguise, thin disguise
A disguise when you’re near me
Take your time, take your time
Because we've all got our problems
I don’t mind, I don’t mind
I’ll just stand on the sidelines

Compendium

It’s a pen, It’s a lie
It’s a compendium of your mind
It’s a code, it’s a game
It’s an attempt upon your life, your life
The coat you’re wearing is too small
The weight you bear is not yours at all
It’s time to close your eyes and go
It’s time to close your eyes and go
Take another for your crimes
Take another for your tears
Make a mental exercise
To exorcise your fears
Come along, sing along
Tell your friends what feels wrong
Whether your dad, or your mom
Well, it’s no wonder
I remember everything
Watching from my window
As they waved goodbye
Don’t you ever change a thing
If she only knew, she’d change her mind
It’s time to shut the door, let go
It’s time to shut the door, let go
Your mom, your dad, are not your destiny
Plucked from the conveyor of adversity
Take another for your crimes
Take another for your tears
Make a mental exercise
To exorcise your fears
Until you master what you spin
The walls continue crashing in
We bend our necks up toward the sun
To contend with problem number one
I remember everything
Watching from my window
As they waved goodbye
Don’t you ever change a thing
If she only knew, she’d change her mind

She walks into their lives
But leaves as quick as she came
Armed with her ideals
But soon she is estranged
It’s cold in the winter
The bones of the city
Creak and break with the weight of the world
No love for the many
Tethered to this city
Claw and scratch for a piece of the cake
It’s cold in the winter
The bones of the city
Creak and break with the weight of the world
Cauterize, cauterize the cut
Incentivize, incentivize the poor and
Recognize your feet were never sore
Now, quantify, quantify the norm and
Qualify, qualify the war
Objectivize, objectivize your life’s work
It’s cold in the winter
The bones of the city
Creak and break with the weight of the world
No love for the many
Tethered to this city
Claw and scratch for a piece of the cake
It’s cold in the winter
The bones of the city
Creak and break with the weight of the world
We can’t afford it
We can only strive to be more
We can’t afford it
We can only strive to be more

Baltimore

Baltimore, she’s sure
Far from the long war
A well enforced snow
A wind blows so cold
And the wind, it kissed her slowly
And the rest, it blessed her chest
And of course she’s on a war path
To build her children’s nest

Please Come Home
05:18

I can feel my heart, it’s thumping
Midnight, the place is jumping
And where she is, I don’t know
where she is tonight
Quit my job and spent my money
Told my friends I don’t need nothing
With her I have no need to worry
I will be alright
I can see, I can feel
Now I know what is real
I am whole
She’s not here, she’s not home
I am all by myself
And she’s gone
You’re everything I need
You said to me
You’re innocent
It’s true
But, all’s forgiven if you please come home
Please come home my love
She said goodbye the night before last
Nothing good was meant to last
She’s gone, gone
How could I have been so wrong?
And now I feel undone, undone
Now I need to
I’ve got to get back up
I’ve got to pick myself back up
Where did I go wrong?
Wrong. So wrong.

Waste of Time
02:44

It’s a cup, it’s a wave
It’s a small piece of time
It’s some love, it’s some taste
It’s a waste of your time
Time
It’s someone that you love
It’s a waste of your time
It’s a book, it’s a line
It’s something on your mind
Mind
