Sophomore Slump

I'm broadcasting a dark energy
and streetlights are dying all around me
this lack of endgame is driving me mad
squeezed between vices i didn't know i had
disillusioned
and exhausted
the solution: fucking bail
Second time isn't always the charm
this city's reneged on every bet
and you bet i won't stand and take it
i'm not a gambling man
but i'm convinced i have honor
i just need to get home...

Morbid Curiosity

I've got a morbid curiosity: how far can I drift to see before the current renders me unreachable by normal means?
I'll get some peace and quiet
swimming along swimmingly with no islands left to bother me
'cause introversion breeds introspection
i need a leave of absence
memories are backlogged and overflowing
I've got no time to make new ones
i'm getting sea legs, now there's no way you'll catch crawling back on broken hermit crab legs
no, there's no fucking way
i'm treading water
every solitary day keeps me afloat
I'm getting stronger with each stroke
a perfect day to waste away
these raindrops give a perfect cover
to not admit that i can't recover
from my rendezvous with old habits that won't die hard

What the fuck?
Just my luck
found an iron in the fire but it's frigid
and my mind's just too rigid
this does wonders for my sense of irony
i snatched defeat from the jaws of victory
No!
I thought I could get by on intuition
Oh no -- Every one of my instincts is wrong
we're both striving to mold this world into one we'd wanna live in
but inaction is my battle cry for every facet of my life
I'm tired of fucking around in limbo
Please send me straight to hell
at least it's warm there and
i know what to do with myself
regrets, they follow me
i want a time machine

shaken up
when you finally alleviate this pressure
there's no telling
what kind of mess i'll make
but i'd like a new one anyway
i'm liberating ideas
i guess this shit's been on my mind more than i realized
but i think i get it now
hey man, i'll see you in a minute, think i'm gonna some fresh air
gonna shout
I'm drunk as hell
and I'm not gonna take it anymore
this clarity can't be ignored
Tonight I'm ditching passive drinks
for something twice as strong
Set my course & destination
Now I'm chugging along
I see the light
In fact, I can see it twice
I think I've figured out this stupid fucking life
mingling with spirits
yeah this shit is spiritual
an epiphany, it came to me
i can't recall
the last time i felt so powerful
catch a glimpse of my reflection
that act won't cause me pain
after the the plan's in place
this time it won't make me feel better
to hurl these insults at myself
Tonight I'm ditching passive drinks
for something twice as strong
Set my course & destination
Now I'm chugging along
I see the light
In fact, I can see it twice
I think I've figured out this stupid fucking life
Tonight I'm ditching passive drinks
for something twice as strong
Set my course & destination
Now I'm chugging along
I see the light
In fact, I can see it twice
I think I've figured out this stupid fucking life
i'm wandering the streets of this pseudocity
breathing in the frigid air
so cold but i don't even care
because i've finally put my present into perspecive
i see my future's bound to be fun to live

Command & Conquer

Just because you know the rules of the game
it doesn't mean you know how to play
I know exactly what I gotta do
But it's a fat chance that i'll actually follow through
Several times a day, my thoughts all return to you
what are you doing?
what am I doing?
this is no way to get ahead
they say "live in the moment"
i don't have a choice
'cause if i don't act now
i'll never leave this moment in my head
I'm scheming
And daydreaming
about the unlikeliest of possibilities
no give, all take
i wanna eat my cake
but i don't wanna bake
when it comes to striking out, i'm batting 1.000
they say "live in the moment"
i don't have a choice
'cause if i don't act now
i'll never leave this moment in my head
no, i don't want that
i'll change my strategy
feel and think and act in real time
Yeah, Just because you know the rules of the game
it doesn't mean you know how to play
there's predators that swoop down
and show no mercy to their prey
I make the same mistakes i always did back then
I watch my empire burn to the ground
too scared to rush right in
