Summer Blood (2010)
CURIOUS SERGE
You were 23 and dying alone
Jealous lovers, selling off the loan
Taunting me with every little goodbye
Begging me to touch you, touch you all night
It gets better, oh it gets better, it gets better…
(I can’t believe) then you showed me you’re not for me
(I can’t believe) with your style, with your smile
(I can’t believe) trippin over the same bad dreams,
I can’t believe you’re all mine
Wind is blowin out (wind is blowin out)
Bows creak, moving to the south
Time is running out (time is running out)
Seasons tease, rushing in and out
(I can’t believe) then you showed me you’re not for me
(I can’t believe) with your style, with your smile
(I can’t believe) trippin over the same bad dreams,
I can’t believe you’re all mine
You’re looking through me
RAD RACER
missing the nights that left us holding on
cause the city gets lonely when we’re not strong enough
lusting the pills that send us to the sky
now the lights are changing and taking us for a ride
I’m a rad racer, big city chaser, running away with you tonight
brake dust tears, but we’re still stumblin’ on
cause I’m shifting your gears, it’s easy when we’re gone
(city line fears were made for breaking)
I’m a rad racer, big city chaser, running away with you tonight
movin’ up, movin’ down, left to the right
GOLDEN SOMBRERO
Fighting off the future with pencil lead
A subtle life of lunacy and regret
I’ll go on without you
I’ll go on without you
I’ll go on without you
I’ll go on without you
Don’t take my words to heart
Don’t walk away from the stains of who you are (I Can’t forget you)
Don’t take my words to heart
Don’t walk away from the stains of who you are (I Can’t forget you)
Don’t take my words to heart
Don’t wash away the stains, it’s who you are (I Can’t forget you)
Don’t take my words to heart
Don’t wash away the stains, it’s who you are (I Can’t forget you)
Don’t wash away the start, don’t wash away the start
Don’t wash away the start, don’t wash AWAY the start
SUNSET JUNCTION
somebody told me the answers were in my mind
next to the reasons and under the love we hide
but I know where they go (everytime I lie)
(they ain’t comin’ for us) I know
somebody told me the future was mine was to lose
riding a wave and turning this white to blue
but I hope they’re wrong (it’s keeping me alive)
(they ain’t coming for us) I know
THIRD WAVE
it’s in the way you smile
I’m broken
spinnin’ just like the nighttime
unfolding
sailing away
down to the keys
loosing our rhythm to the ocean breeze
you and I are exactly where we want to be
the sea reminds me we’re not in love (we’re not in love)
holding on to nothing
diving alone into the water
looking for answers, I can’t be bothered
where did it all go wrong?
where do I want to be?
smooth sailin’
the sea reminds me we’re not in love (if I told you I want you)
the sea reminds me we’re not in love (if I told you I need you)
the sea reminds me we’re not in love(if I told you I love you)
holding on to nothing
DOG DAZE
trippin’ on the serials
surfing next to criminals
my mind feels the pull
independent soldiers
with confidential owners
my mind feels the pull
when you and me together
means you and me forever
my mind feels the pull
when everything is certain
and the ocean smells of nonsense
my mind feels the pull
even when we fall away
I don’t need your money
and I don’t need you pull
it’s so easy to fake what’s easily sold
even when we fall away I’m home
SUMMER BLOOD
this is our love, love, love, love charity
cause summer blood, blood, blood, blood feels the same
seasons always seem to tie us down
swimmin’ in the streets of this tired town
seven different ways to hold your hand
is it up to me to understand?
this is our love, love, love, love charity
cause summer blood, blood, blood, blood feels the same
is it up to me?
Insurgents (2014)
Insurgents
lady, I don’t want to follow
drills a needle up my spine
go and clean the glass and swallow
taking bullets for our valley wives
fosters can’t feed the pressure
hills are unfolding
yellow fortune teller
yielding tangents that the brail can’t hold in
I wish I could go back in time (for you)
maybe I don’t want to change it
love’s an open wound
just tolerate the mazes
we’re just pilgrams starved for rules
nothing’s predetermined
flies can change this world
but I’m still determined
time, can make us whole
I wish I could go back in time (for you)
accelerate our landing time
accelerate our love tonight
I wish I could go back in time
to where the pavement is kept alive
Time
everything was feeling new
packages half removed
stethoscopes know the truth
the whispers are the proof
compassion is my disease
you’re hurting just like me
this love is our relief
like chestnuts among the trees
everybody says they don’t know love
waiting on the one to rip you off
Everybody says they don’t know love
It’s about time
you never said you were a priest
you’re living on your knees
confessions run too deep
with lies between the teeth
polish up the glass house
fingerprints from the south
can’t fake your way out
everyone’s watching now
everybody says they don’t know love
waiting on the one to rip you off
everybody says they don’t know love
it’s about time
running away
Heaven or Farewell
crossed eyes
cameras sniping down at your feet
soft highs
don’t get lost in the opening scene
allies
in the hands of a stranger or priest
they choose the color schemes
so let’s blow off some
hanging on our hearts as we dance in the dark
inmates
where our jail is the closing bell
cheapskate
is this heaven or farewell?
collate
my name within your cell
you wear the look so well
one night within your…
hanging on our hearts as we dance in the dark
something in the night
can’t be right
let’s wait outside for the sunrise
something in the night
can’t be right
let’s take the train into the sky
just hanging on
Half Love
White lies
You really cut me up like
A patient with a tell-tale heart
Josh said
You were someone like me
Unchained to play the part
Summer days all fade to one
The trips west, our setting sun
Stolen nights with codes to crack
I won’t rest, or change this paragraph
Time’s up
Let’s stop before we wake up
We’re never gonna go grow up
Don’t wanna be your half time lover
Half time lover
Clichés
Are all around us it seems
A missing heart will never start
Bouquets and human robots are teams
Too cold to feel that part
Everyday I’m a little bit stronger
Life’s a muscle, I’ll feed my hunger
A lost soul can’t change its path
Another ghost that’s lost in my draft
Time’s up
Let’s stop before we wake up
We’re never gonna go grow up
Don’t wanna be your half time lover
Half time lover
Lights out
No excuses for the
The surprise now
This was never meant to be
Don’t work it out
Don’t wanna be your better
Half love is never what it seems
It’s just the beauty of it all
The Good in Goodbye
Suzy’s skating down the boulevard
Catch her eye on a bumper car
Wonder where she’s going, where she might have been
Met him once, we were 12 years old
Black glasses, a piercing in his nose
Mama swore that boy was no good for me
But I told her anyway
Turn back the clocks and take the bait
This is our mistake
Fold up our tongue and seal our fate
Little fate or maybe it was luck
Took a chance and chased her around the block
She was just a ghost inside my dream
Every year on an even day
I light a match and burn a rose he made
Just a part of blood inside the sea
But I told her anyway
Turn back the clocks and take the bait
This is our mistake
Fold up our tongue and seal our fate
You put the good in goodbye
(I never wanted you… to say goodbye)
Chemical Burns
birthmarks are burned with time
earmarks are lost in greed
ballparks are built to tumble
with memories
’cause living upstairs outside your window
I finally found a little symbol
carving our sins
a misfit groveling
harmless hearts (just raise your skirt a little)
countless starts (echos of tainted love)
anxious wounds (perfection isn’t free)
drowned in youth
love in a dark room
develop our past in photos
chemical burns and harmless hearts
classrooms where notes are passed
lunchrooms where drugs are free
costumes are made to cover the red eye thieves
sneaking out of class late in the morning
to find to find, a little trouble
amateur needs
we’ll shoot among the weeds
harmless hearts (just raise your skirt a little)
countless starts (echos of tainted love)
anxious wounds (perfection isn’t free)
drowned in youth
love in a dark room
develop our past in photos
chemical burns and harmless hearts
Modern Living
Empty parking lots
Liberties are soft
Bodies on the stage
Minimum wage
Burn the platform shoes
Yesterday’s news
Find another way
Cheating the game
Stand up and watch the room keep spinning
Checkered face of modern living
Get out and put your hand on my ceiling
The trunks too small to call this home
What took you so long?
Perfections undone
Who said no? who said no?
Hooked on violens
And the salty gin
Slide the pill to snooze
Snort till you loose
Let the pillows drop
And the dollars stop
Walls are colder now
Wizards are proud
Lay down and feel your face fall under
Content to watch the young girls stutter
Hang and make the road get tighter
Your family knows your given name is real
What took you so long?
Perfections undone
Who said no? who said no?
It took a mutiny of words to narrow the choices
A mutiny of words to change your life
You know you really like it
Jackie Kennedy
Judges say you win some and lose some
Teleprompters staring at the news clone
Pestilence is creeping up the east coast
Just choose your wave
Like a phoenix falling from the cross fire
Second chances, costing for the love sign
Looters always want something sweeter
Time it won’t exonerate
Your imperfections are perfect
Just cracks in the road
Your imperfections are perfect
Like diamonds in the snow
Your imperfections are perfect
We’re pedals in the falling snow
Now the futures drawing off the smooth blood
Like a teacher selling out of good drugs
Evolution was never enough
Your imperfections are perfect
Just cracks in the road
Your imperfections are perfect
Like diamonds in the snow
Your imperfections are perfect
We’re pedals in the falling snow
You and me under all the covers
I don’t wanna wake up
Digital Girl
you’re just a digital girl
with my keys in your socket
and I’m knocking
we’re on a non-stop
a non-stop
8 bit lovers demise
saved a piece of you
in a rusted clock
life is so obtuse
only measured by the hair we cut
blonde fibers fade
bending circuits like a 4 leaf clover
love was our mistake
slaves to logic in a complex coda
you’re just a digital girl
with my keys in your socket
and I’m knocking
we’re on a non-stop
a non-stop
8 bit lovers demise
it takes mechanical skin to let me in
mechanical sins to let me out
technicolors bleed out
blue follows green
microchips spawn real doubt
pretty robots they don’t need sleep
you’re just a digital girl
with my keys in your socket
and I’m knocking
we’re on a non-stop
a non-stop
8 bit lovers demise
Zeros and Ones
Blurry faces caught in the cameras
Copper cords, the threads of the feathers
Do you know you deserve something better?
News isn’t news
Tripwires on basement stairs
The IRS is braiding your hair
Strong memories fall somewhere
Reboot the shoes
Target practice in our backyards
ICE scratching the sky above
Big brother can work out the bugs
And choose us too
Give up on love
Just zeros and ones
Fantasy File (2019)
No matter what i say or do
No i can’t get enough of you
Oh maybe it’s love and now i’ve seen the light
I won’t go back to lonely nights
Do you believe?
This is once in a lifetime
Its time to believe
Baby make no mistake
You’ve been ruling my world since i found you
You got me like i can’t explain
You’ve been ruling my world since i found you
And now i dont feel any pain
I won’t feel any pain
I feel it when you call my name
without you know i’d go insane
Can’t give it up
I won’t move too fast
A love like this was built to last
Do you believe?
This is once in a lifetime
Its time to believe
Baby make no mistake
You’ve been ruling my world since i found you
You got me like i can’t explain
You’ve been ruling my world since i found you
And now i dont feel any pain
I won’t feel any pain
You’ve been ruling my world since i found you
You got me like i can’t explain
You’ve been ruling my world since i found you
And now i dont feel any pain
I won’t feel any pain
You’ve been ruling my world since i found you
You got me like i can’t explain
You’ve been ruling my world since i found you
And now i dont feel any pain
I won’t feel any pain
No no no i wont
Feel any pain
No no no i wont
Feel any pain
No no no i wont
Feel any pain
No no no i wont
Feel any pain
Burned
I never thought i’d pay so dearly
For what i thought i had, but now i know it clearly
Don’t put yourself down, hey desperado
Heaven help the one, cruising el dorado
Looking through some photos and how it used to be
Remember there’s just a trace of sorrow
Things i couldn’t see but know i know, nothing’s guaranteed
Compassion i can’t borrow
They saw the end, we put it back together
Starting to believe it’s true
Caught between the truth and the trust
Lived long enough you’d think i’d learn
Caught between the truth and the trust
The closer you get to the fire, the more you get burned
We face the moment, belief is betrayed
Broken hearts and victims on a judgement day
Feeling insecure, there dreaming of the past
Tears will fall and the heart beating too fast
Careful words cast off with cautious tones
How they haunt us till the end
So it goes the choice was mine and mine alone
Don’t ask me to pretend
No make believe, you thought it was forever
Now you know that gold is for fools
Caught between the truth and the trust
Lived long enough you’d think i’d learn
Caught between the truth and the trust
The closer you get to the fire, the more you get burned
The closer you get to the fire
make believe, you thought it was forever
Now you know that gold is for fools, golds for fools
Caught between the truth and the trust
Lived long enough you’d think i’d learn
Now caught between
The closer you get to the fire, the more you get burned
Caught between the truth and the trust
Lived long enough you’d think i’d learn
Caught between the truth and the trust
The closer you get to the fire, the more you get burned
Caught between the truth and the trust
Lived long enough you’d think i’d learn
Caught between the truth and the trust
The closer you get to the fire, the more you get burned
From Malibu
Feeling your heartbeat heartbeat
Feeling your heartbeat heartbeat
Feeling your heartbeat heartbeat
Feeling your heartbeat heartbeat
Feeling your heartbeat heartbeat
Feeling your heartbeat heartbeat
Feeling your heartbeat heartbeat
Feeling your heartbeat heartbeat
Still trying to play this down
But i can’t stay away from your side of town
And every kiss was like a drug
I could never resist
Now i can’t get enough
Now i know i should let it go
How you’re driving me wild everytime we hello
Remember friday nights dressed to thrill
Oh there still taking me down
Feel my heartbeat
Lost in a groove
Feel my heartbeat
It’s making it move
Feel my heartbeat
Axis love is bold
Or Something just like this i am told
Everytime we said goodbye
It left me counting the counting the minutes
And chasing the high
God knows this feeling i can’t fight
You got me so damn good, it don’t seem right
It dont seem right
Feel my heartbeat
Lost in a groove
Feel my heartbeat
It’s making it move
Feel my heartbeat
Axis love is bold
Or Something just like this i am told
How we’re holding on these dreams together
Got a contact high from a kiss
Ride or die on forever
There’s no surrender, without it, i can’t live
Feel my heartbeat
Lost in a groove
Feel my heartbeat
It’s making it move
Feel my heartbeat
Axis love is bold
Or Something just like this i am told
Wanna feel your heart beating
Wanna feel your heart beating
Wanna feel your heart beating
Wanna feel your heart beating
Wanna feel your heart beating
Wanna feel your heart beating
Wanna feel your heart beating
Wanna feel your heart beating
Counterclaims
We were young fighting so hard to keep it
Didn’t care about the doubts in their eyes
Somewhere inbetween we got lost in that dream
Maybe some stars they burn to bright
Was it real i don’t know
But the feeling never faded
Hearts can’t disguise
How its one need in the night that gets us high
Too late to offer up the impossible
Give yourself away to make it through
We’ve got nothing to prove
They say time has a way of revealing
In the end we didnt know who to blame
I can still hear that voice, it was nobody’s choice
We drag the past out to counterclaim
We were one in the same
Always looking to getaway
Hearts can’t disguise
How its one need in the night that gets us high
Too late to offer up the impossible
Give yourself away to make it through
We’ve got nothing to prove
In the distance somewhere
Straight into that night
Whatever keeps you running
Whatever gets you right
In the distance somewhere
Straight into that night
Whatever keeps you running
One day you’ll get it right
One day you’ll get it right
One day you’ll get it right
Your still damn good
One day you’ll get it right
Your still damn good and no one has gotten to you yet
Your still damn good and no one has gotten to you yet
Your still damn good and no one has gotten to you yet
Your still damn good and no one has gotten to you yet
Your still damn good and no one has gotten to you yet
Your still damn good and no one has gotten to you yet
One day you’ll get it right
L.A. Looks
Standing in the shadows trying to dissapear
Crusing down Mulholand so quick to reappear
Desperate moments, adolescence staring at the sky
Held the dream, made it up, thought you’d give it back in time
Breakdown, help me to remember
Body wishes left of center
So dont blame me, dont blame me
Hard to believe hard to believe in
So dont blame me, dont blame me
Hard to believe hard to believe in
My heart can tell you nothing, you dont already know
won’ t try to change your mind, go to places you won’t go
I want to miss her, i’ll pretend
By break of day they’ll find
Down the beat, lost in venice
With the burn outs i’ll resign
Breakdown, help me to remember
Body wishes left of center
So dont blame me, dont blame me
Hard to believe hard to believe in
So dont blame me, dont blame me
Hard to believe hard to believe in
Downtown their missing, the angels don’t listen
(my heart can’t tell you no)
Downtown their missing, the angels don’t listen
(my heart can’t tell you no)
It’s alright, its alright
Hard to believe hard to believe in
It’s alright, its alright
Hard to believe hard to believe in
Turning means to fortune, cautionary tales
Can’t you feel it brother, its in the look, its in the look
This time i’ve got to get back L.A. is calling me
This time i’ve got to get back L.A. got me back
Breakdown, help me to remember
Body wishes left of center
So dont blame me, dont blame me
Hard to believe hard to believe in
So dont blame me, dont blame me
Hard to believe hard to believe in

A MATTER OF DEGREES (2020)
WINTER KEYS
I dont want nobody else to hold
I’ll be coming back real soon
I kind of fault the words i’ve sold
But i swear this one’s for you
Turn my switch and set me free
With wild firefall
Wasted by the years gone by
But if you think you’re lonely
Crushing through the nighttime, you’ll see
November never leaves you alone
Coasting down through winter keys
Its over, don’t worry bout’ heartache, can’t forget we’ll do it together
Its over, don’t worry bout’ heartache, can’t forget we’ll do it together
Its over, don’t worry bout’ heartache, can’t forget we’ll do it together
Its over, don’t worry bout’ heartache, can’t forget we’ll do it together
Playing games with one eyed jacks
Remind me not to hold
You couldn’t even say goodbye
I couldn’t say hello
Turning two, and back to sea
Set yourself adrift
Undercurrents i can’t plan
Connections set amiss
Crushing through the nighttime, but you’ll see
December winter breaks
Coasting down to winter keys
Its over, don’t worry bout’ heartache, can’t forget we’ll do it together
Its over, don’t worry bout’ heartache, can’t forget we’ll do it together
Its over, don’t worry bout’ heartache, can’t forget we’ll do it together
Its over, don’t worry bout’ heartache, can’t forget we’ll do it together
All the way down to marathon, you’ll see
Oh come November, we’ll be hitting our stride in winter keys
Dont you give it give it give it, don’t forget , we’ll do it together
Dont you give it give it give it, don’t forget , we’ll do it together
Its over, don’t worry bout’ heartache, can’t forget we’ll do it together
Its over, don’t worry bout’ heartache, can’t forget we’ll do it together
Its over, don’t worry bout’ heartache, can’t forget we’ll do it together
Its over, don’t worry bout’ heartache, can’t forget we’ll do it together
Together together, cant forget we’ll do it together
Together together, cant forget we’ll do it together
Together together, cant forget we’ll do it together
Together together, cant forget we’ll do it together
Break Point
Only in my dreams
We were always and forever
Palm trees to Palisades
Only in my dreams
It was you and me together
Maxed out on a wave
Only in my dreams
Undercover
Trying to hold
You gotta prove it if you want to shake
In hands its really cold
Its 90 seconds until we take it
In the pocket
I won’t ever walk it back
Now you got it
You’ve set in motion now your trying to not react
Hangin tough johnny keeping your cool
(ain’t nobody else, ain’t nobody else)
With that sinking feeling, maybe it was you
Only in my dreams
We were always and forever
Palm trees to Palisades
Only in my dreams
It was you and me together
Maxed out on a wave
Only in my dreams
No fear, don’t hesitate
Everybody’s got to learn someway
Break, taking off
You wipe out, you’re sexting to get off
Gonna ride it, life’s more than just a chance
Now im on my feet, praying to make the dance
Adrenaline was never enough
(ain’t nobody else, ain’t nobody else)
It ain’t no tragedy to die doing what you love
Only in my dreams
We were always and forever
Palm trees to Palisades
Only in my dreams
It was you and me together
Maxed out on a wave
Only in my dreams
It’s been fifty years, im ready for that storm
Im riding out and its never enough
(ain’t nobody else, ain’t nobody else)
Chasing down that wave, ill die doing what i love
Only in my dreams
Only in my dreams
Only in my dreams
Waves crashing blue
We were always and forever
Palm trees to Palisades
Only in my dreams
It was you and me together
Maxed out on a wave
Only in my dream
We were always and forever
Palm trees to Palisades
Only in my dreams
It was you and me together
Maxed out on a wave
Only in my dream
Never Say Die
I try to find a way to move on
A final weekend until its all gone
We try to ignore but we can’t
It leads us back to the place where we
Never Say Die
Oh we never could replace
Dragging the line
Was it you that looked right through her face
Heaven knows why
Had to find a better place
This time its taken over
Or we just getting older
Lately been trying to create
A new condition to approximate
Fighting back the feeling for long
Someday we’ll come back and prove them all wrong
Never Say Die
Oh we never could replace
Dragging the line
Was it you that looked right through her face
Heaven knows why
Had to find a better place
This time its taken over
Or we just getting older
Is it all or nothing at all
Its better than nothing until it all falls
Astoria breaks at the sea
As if they know what we want couldn’t be
Never Say Die
Oh we never could replace
Dragging the line
Was it you that looked right through her face
Heaven knows why
Had to find a better place
This time its taken over
Or we just getting older
Never Say Die
Oh we never could replace
Dragging the line
Was it you that looked right through her face
Heaven knows why
Had to find a better place
This time its taken over
Or we just getting older
Never knew why we tried so hard make it
Goon dock dont cry this marble bag could save it
Never knew why we tried so hard make it
Goon dock dont cry this marble bag could save it (never say die)
Never knew why we tried so hard make it
Goon dock dont cry this marble bag could save it
Never knew why we tried so hard make it
Goon dock dont cry this marble bag could save it (somewhere back in her long ago)
Never knew why we tried so hard make it
Goon dock dont cry this marble bag could save it
Relative Contentment
If this isnt it, then why do i feel it
You tell me that its wrong, oh its just not fair
Go and cut me down, and tell me your sorry
Hanging on each word, oh its too much to bear
Spend most everynight, underneath your neon light
I close my eyes sometimes still picture you there
Thought you were my one and only
But you just left me lonely
Real love
Will i find it i swear
Needing real love
Ill find it i swear
I need a real love
I heard it from your friends
They saying you over
Must be moving on,
Cant help all i do
I wasn’t born to run
But ill chase it forever
That feeling that were done
Hoping you only knew
almost everynight, underneath your neon light
I close my eyes sometimes still picture you there
you were my one and only
But you just left me lonely
Real love
Will i find it i swear
Needing real love
Ill find it i swear
I need a real love
Real love, will i find it i swear
I need your real love
Real love, ill find it i swear
I need a real love
I need real love
i ‘ll find it i swear
I need a real love
Down the Shore
Nights are getting warmer
Boys are on the corner
Trying to play it cool from the heat
Girls are painted up
They never get enough
Can’t escape the lines or the beat
Are we just wasting time
Breaking up all night
It doesn’t really matter to me
You drank too much to think
Im feeling on the brink
Is this reality
You wanna tango
do it all night, we’ll make it alright, take it back to the sea
You wanna tango
do it all night, we’ll make it alright, take it back to the sea
You feel your dreams are dying
Lately you’ve been trying
Maybe find a lock for this key
Back to making up
We just were breaking up
You’d rather die than see
Someone else by your side
Too much left to hide
Nobody knows it but me
You tango in the night
And now your not so quite
Sure that you wanna be
You wanna tango
do it all night, we’ll make it alright, take it back to the sea
You wanna tango
do it all night, we’ll make it alright, take it back to the sea
We’ll Go down the shore for summer
Forget about our troubles
Turn it up and we could be free
We’ll go down the shore for summer
Ain’t no one above you
You’ll turn it up, and we’ll be free
Turn it up, turn it up
Take it all the way, we could go together
Turn it up, turn it up
You wanna tango
do it all night, we’ll make it alright, take it back to the sea
You wanna tango
do it all night, we’ll make it alright, take it back to the sea
We’ll go down the shore for summer
Ain’t no one above you
You’ll turn it up, and we’ll be free
We’ll go down the shore for summer
Ain’t no one above you
You’ll turn it up, and we’ll be free
We’ll go down the shore for summer
Ain’t no one above you
You’ll turn it up, and we’ll be free
We’ll go down the shore for summer
Ain’t no one above you
You’ll turn it up, and we’ll be free
Work Drugs – Third Degree
Better run, keep on running, gotta run so keep on running
Better run, keep on running, gotta run so keep on running
Can’t you hear them coming, better keep on running
Can’t you hear them coming, better keep on running
Hello, did you come here alone
They turned the lights out to practice
It’s so overblown
Asking why, this ain’t a reason to be
Taking your time, i’d hurry up
Now their bored with the enemy
In line, this ain’t a drill for the teens
Take advantage of the way, it used to be
All the news, their watching you bleed
It’s never over with those habits, down on your knees
With a shotgun in your back
My state of mind has got the best of me
Trying to hold it together with no guarantees
Would you mind and quit the third degree
Lately been feeling on edge in this jungle
But i dont want to be
Better run, keep on running, gotta run so keep on running
Better run, keep on running, gotta run so keep on running
Can’t you hear them coming, better keep on running
Can’t you hear them coming, better keep on running
Getting dark, is it too dark to see
Feels like the walls are closing in and we can’t get no relief
Take this gun, you’ve got the key
See im ready to run, in that moment you’ll see
Got a hunger, i can’t hide this disease
Until forever turns to never and your begging to leave
Now we’re drowning, all i want is to free
As long as everyone is paying and their begging me please
I know it’s overdue
My state of mind has got the best of me
Trying to hold it together with no guarantees
Would you mind and quit the third degree
Lately been feeling on edge in this jungle
But i dont want to be
My state of mind has got the best of me
Trying to hold it together with no guarantees
Would you mind and quit the third degree
Lately been feeling on edge in this jungle
But i dont want to be
I know i dont want to be
Another big shot makes a stand, now he’s packing heat, feels like a man
Another big shot makes a stand, now he’s packing heat, feels like a man
Another big shot makes a stand, now he’s packing heat, feels like a man
Another big shot makes a stand, now he’s packing heat, feels like a man
Soft rock
I wont back down
The truth is revealing
Ill stand my ground
Im in need of some feeling
Someone not quite you
From that misplaced verse
I shouldve placed that heartbeat break
And hungry eyes
Missed the chance
Pretending just to knock me out
Waiving those lies
Till forever
If only babe
So offer up, your best defense
See my soft rock was never gonna make sense
Alright there’s no easy way
If its got what it takes
All i need is another cliche
I know whats right
Why cant you leave her
Wont turn around since that full moon fever
Got one life to hold it
Hit that cruise control
Been running since to just keep up
Trying to disguise
Dress our tear for fears
But you keep singing little lies
Been taken in
Till they shine on, so on and on
So offer up, your best defense
See my soft rock was never gonna make sense
Alright there’s no easy way
If its got what it takes
All i need is another cliche
Another cliche
Time after time
You try to leave it
Looking back you tried to push and climb
Now thats all that you need, its all that you need
So offer up, your best defense
See my soft rock was never gonna make sense
Alright there’s no easy way
If its got what it takes
All i need is another cliche
Another cliche
So offer up, your best defense
See my soft rock was never gonna make sense
Alright there’s no easy way
If its got what it takes
All i need is another cliche
Another cliche
Another cliche
Another cliche
My soft rock was never gonna make sense
Prime
Could you wait, until morning
Nights get late, and hearts need warning
We just found love, i feel we’re gonna embrace
Mojo rising, swear we’re dying to chase
In need of some action
I’ve made up my mind
So call out my name
Retrace it through time
In our prime, prime
Ain’t no tears left to track
In our prime prime
We won’t ever look back
We’ll make it through if we just take it to heart
In our prime prime
I know what we got, i know what we got
Take a shot for the moment
Its our choice to be open
Been hanging on don’t leave me stranded alone
Nobody wins when these hearts turn to stone
Tired of feeling
I can’t tell you why
Spent years in the dark
Now there’s light in my eyes
In our prime, prime
Ain’t no tears left to track
In our prime prime
We won’t ever look back
We’ll make it through if we just take it to heart
In our prime prime
I know what we got, i know what we got
So into the night
Your hair in the wind
You’re serving me, something i just can’t defend
Caught in your sails
Wayfarer eyes
Ride like the wind, through the night, we can’t disguise
This is the way that we get back, if we’re gonna ever get back
This is the way that we get back, if we’re gonna ever get back
In our prime, prime (i know what we got)
Ain’t no tears left to track
In our prime prime (it don’t get better baby)
We won’t ever look back
We’ll make it through if we just take it to heart
In our prime prime
I know what we got, i know what we got
In our prime, prime (i know what we got)
I know what we got, i know what we got
In our prime, prime (i know what we got)
I know what we got, i know what we got
PRIDE AND COMPETITION (2021)
OUT OF TIME
Coasting down the skyway
Still talking in your sleep, can’t let it go
Trying to change a future
But how it shakes out nobody ever knows
So rise above it
She whispers ‘don’t be reduced by another soul’
Hit the gas and floor it
You could return change the world, but need some more
Clock strikes
Crash into forever
Got the sweet sound,ways when we were together
How, then we broke apart, you took it to heart
Laid it all on the line
Now were left out of time
Heaven better find a way
So for now were left here, taking shots
Flying with a tail wind
All across the city streets, getting caught
Truth i want it
Hard to handle all the lies that brought us down
Western union breadcrumbs
Couldn’t get back there even if i wanted now
Clock strikes
Crash into forever
Got the sweet sound,ways when we were together
How, then we broke apart, you took it to heart
Laid it all on the line
Now were left out of time
Falling now were out of time
Falling now were out of time
Falling now were out of time
Were Falling out of time
Clock strikes
Crash into forever
Got the sweet sound,ways when we were together
How, then we broke apart, you took it to heart
Laid it all on the line
Now were left out of time
Clock strikes
Crash into forever
Got the sweet sound,ways when we were together
How, then we broke apart, you took it to heart
Laid it all on the line
Now were left out of time
TENDER AGE
In this pleasure refrain maybe were just the same
For one moment, try to take back (the feeling insane)
She said pull back the curtain cause some grief so determined
Try to find a better way, to get through things i knew
Now im stranded, spinning , somewhere back to the beginning
There’s a way that everybody says, we’re only getting older
Now were taken dreaming, it was always for you
What becomes of the broken, how do we make it through?
Just hold on, tender age, dont look back, turn the page
Through and through you’ll remain how i’ve been loving you forever
Hold on tender age dont look back, turn the page
Through and through you’ll remain how i’ve been loving you forever
The hurt i can take, cross this heart i could break, wasted years i denied
I’ll find another you, flames getting higher, let it burn down this pride
I know we’re better off, I know we’re better off
Some wear it someway, some hide it each way
Some cry everynight while some laugh in the rain
You’re doing ok, and its all what they say
One tears it apart while the other fades away
Still i hear it calling, maybe we’re not falling
The fear of the unknown, uncertainty ahead
That haunting feeling, its got us leaving
We thought it could last, oh god it all went so fast
Just hold on, tender age, dont look back, turn the page
Through and through you’ll remain how i’ve been loving you forever
Hold on tender age dont look back, turn the page
Through and through you’ll remain how i’ve been loving you forever
Just hold on, tender age, dont look back, turn the page
Through and through you’ll remain how i’ve been loving you forever
Hold on tender age dont look back, turn the page
Through and through you’ll remain how i’ve been loving you forever
The hurt i can take, cross this heart i could break, wasted years i denied
I’ll find another you, flames getting higher, let it burn down this pride
I know we’re better off, I know we’re better off
Just hold on
Just hold on
Just hold on
Just hold on
Just hold on
Just hold on
Just hold on
Just hold on
DRIVE
Dont remember how it was, now its so complicated, frustrated
I wont believe everyone saying your so calculated, like they made it
Seemed unlikely, thought i caught it, the feeling remains but now you lost it
Trying to make things right, seasons change so take it or break it
Waiting on that moment take a chance, heart racing, still chasing
Aiming to take it, lately been faking, won’t ever get it’s been years in the making
Crazy, thought i knew you better, you got a boyfriend, got a boyfriend
She said later on maybe but for now better keep on avoiding avoiding
By friday night your asking why, he’s out with his boys couldn’t care if you were even alive
Oh shit it doesn’t seem fair so better take the wheel and drive wheel and drive
Say goodbye and turn our backs on all those times were given, were living
Count the years even lie it was all forgivin im still missing
I should be over, oh its been too long
You never told him but you don’t like his song
Another night, split decision that your undertaking, heart breaking
Its not closure doesnt matter got me feeling insane
Oh i want something real
Falling together, no matter whether
I’ll be your fool from now til forever
Crazy, thought i knew you better, you got a boyfriend, got a boyfriend
She said later on maybe but for now better keep on avoiding avoiding
By friday night your asking why, he’s out with his boys couldn’t care if you were even alive
Oh shit it doesn’t seem fair so better take the wheel and drive wheel and drive
Crazy, thought i knew you better, you got a boyfriend, a boyfriend
So later on maybe but for now better keep on avoiding keep on avoiding
Crazy to think now you got a boyfriend
Now you got a boyfriend
