PLASTIC SMILE
I know you've been drinking by the way that you bite baby
I know you've been smoking ‘cause we ain't had a fight lately
I know you don't care, the times you hurt yourself
I know you don't care, but now it's someone else
Plastic smile
You're pushing a round peg thru the square hole baby
You're slapping a band aid on an amputee crazy
I know you don't care, the times you hurt yourself
I know you don't care, but now it's everyone else
Plastic smile
Your plastic smile
Plastic smile
Fake plastic smile
I won't fall back to you
I won’t fall back
I won't fall back to you
I won’t fall back
Plastic smile
Plastic smile
Fake plastic smile
Life-long denial

Alone

ALONE
Born to a broken land, learned to live to die
there's a pill for every problem, a logic for every lie
it's a battle of one and the same, the outcome: zero sum
combine no worries and know how, ain't surprised I got no one
Alone I came
Alone I go
Alone I stay
Alone is the one place I know
Found all my friends are false, all my women are fake
They're just waiting to watch all the ways one man can break
I can't stand the plastic party, I can't stand the cracked out crowd
I can't stand the bull chit chat talk that you call conversation
Alone I came
Alone I go
Alone I stay
Alone is the one place I know
We lack, we learn
We build and burn
We love, we lose
We blame and bruise
We care, we kill
Withstand so much but still
Behind the names
We find the same in us all

NOT YOUR MIRROR
I won't say high when you say low
I won't say stop when you say slow
I won't say I do if I don't know
I won't say shit ‘cause I got to show
I am not your mirror
Don't you look at me like that
I won't play dumb, ‘cause I'm not blind
I won't play games, I ain't that kind
I won't sympathize while you moan and whine
look at my face, I know you'll find
I am not your mirror
Don't you look at me like that
I am not not your mirror
Don't you look at me like that
I've seen those eyes before,
every time I lose this war
You stare at me as I leave,
and still you can't see me for me

Shut Me Down

SHUT ME DOWN
Systems, structures, I can ignore
Nothing to know, only believe
I feed myself, I'm never full
Hopeless weakness, slow suicide
Shut me down
Shut me out
Broken family, tied at the wrist
They push, we pull, nobody moves
We feed ourselves, we're never full
Hopeless weakness, mass suicide
Shut me down
Shut me down
Shut me down
Shut me out
Now shines a bleeding sun
Now walks a wandering one
Inside of every bruise
I found the need to lose

Reflections

REFLECTIONS
They look at me with your longing eyes
They call to me with your hungry cries
My heart reminds me that I once knew
They're all reflections of you
Portraits show me what words can't say
Faces know me, their thoughts betrayed
I close my eyes 'til it fills my view
They're all reflections of you
I feel and you feel and we feel the strain
I take and you take and we take the blame
Reflected reflections reflecting our aims
End this pain
How do I sleep with so much to say
What do I keep here to pass the days
These simple songs, conclusions I drew
They're all reflections of you
Too many years I left words unsaid
Too many tears and regrets I shed
I never learned and I never outgrew
chasing reflections of you
I feel and you feel and we feel the strain
I take and you take and we take the blame
Reflected reflections are what we became
End this pain

Cash

CASH
Cash ain't God
The system is breaking
Cash ain't God
The world is waking
Cash rules the world and everything in it
Slaves to the game from the very first minute
Played it long enough to know there ain't no way to win it
Gotta rewrite the rules and rip up the limits
Greed and consumption are the present presumptions
that occupy lives with a failure to function
We shop and we groom, never stop to assume
maybe happiness ain't in that big list of things that we bought to consume
A man with a dream to take a stand for the team
I got a plan to redeem the failed commanding regime
Demand is extreme ‘cause on this planet it seems
it’s all a scam or a scheme to cram us into machines
Too many comply, stick their heads in the cloud
but you don't need a third eye to see beyond that crowd
If you got half a mind, you better speak it out loud
What's the rule we defy, come on spit it out now
Cash ain't God
The system is breaking
Cash ain't God
The world is waking
You can’t take without giving
You can’t take without giving
You can’t take without giving
Too busy making a living we forgot about living
Cash rules me I won't dispute that fact
It's a pass thru key to the freedom I lack
but I only ask to receive so that I can give back
‘cause I ain't the last who believes we ain't just here to subtract
Lose the trend my friends, don't pretend to defend
some political propaganda as the means to an end
We can't seize and consume, there ain't infinite room
on this itty-bitty rock that will be filling up soon
Don't you see what I say ain't no need to delay
Gonna weave a new way to believe in today
Create to sustain, rejuvenate and maintain
Postulate and cultivate one world-wide change
If you ain't got a lot you got the most to gain
Whether you have or have not, you own a heart and a brain
Your freedom is fuel and your voice is the flame
Throw your fist in the air and tell me what we claim
Cash ain't God
The system is breaking
Cash ain't God
The world is waking
Cash is great, cash is good
and we thank him for our food
By his hands we all are fed
Thank you cash for our daily bread

MORE
Hunting the monkeys in my mind
Circular thoughts I can't unwind
My heart bends but it won't break
Until I find my next mistake
The more you lie you brake the deal
The more you lie you turn the wheel
The more you lie you make it real
The more you lie the less I…
Choking down your silver spoon
to mix the poison in your womb
Buying the fear you sell yourself
to pawn it off as mental health
The more you lie you brake the deal
The more you lie you turn the wheel
The more you lie you make it real
The more you lie the less I…
The more you lied you broke the deal
The more you lied you turned the wheel
The more you lied you made it real
and so your lies became your shield
and now you try but can't conceal
the reasons why your heart is sealed
You never cry you never yield
and so my love you'll never feel
cannot feel
will not heal
No

JUST LIKE YOU
Dearest one, you say it's over
that we have other ways to fill our beds
but I can't write the ending, and I can't turn the page
No I can't make believe this story is dead
There must be
one for me
just like you
who sees me too
Dearest one I don't know why
everybody tells me emotions lie
Well I still want your balance, and I still want your madness
yeah I still want to taste your poison bliss
There must be
one for me
just like you
who sees me too
What can I do to forget I knew
What can I say to step back away
I can't deny or look aside
I’ve come undone for you my one
There must be
one for me
just like you
just like you
Yeah I can see
there’s one for me
inside you
who needs me too

GIVE IT
Hey now girl I know we just met
but you put me in a cold sweat
Walk with me by the fireside
Talk to me tell me all your lies
Baby, baby, please
Tell me what you need
I'm'a give it to you
if you give it to me
A fine young thing like you is rare
Suicide hips and a guillotine stare
A touch so tender, so sweetly alive
Open that oven I'm gonna’ bake your pie
Baby, baby, please
Tell me what you need
I'm'a give it to you
if you give it to me
I don't wanna meet your Mom or your Dad
Don't really care what kinda schooling you’ve had
I don't mean you one little bit of sin
I just know I got to get you under my skin
Baby, baby, please
Tell me what you need
I'm'a give it to you
if you give it to me
Baby, can’t you see
you got to give to receive so
I’m’a give it to you
if you give it to me

No One

NO ONE
Scream aloud, become the sound
Let it out before it drags you down
Pick it up before it hits the ground
Hold it high while your world drowns
It fades and flows, but no one knows
where it comes from or where it goes
Precious rare, but no one cares
to keep it close or call it theirs
Yeah
No
I've worked my bones up until I bleed
Break my back to fill this need
Burn myself until I must believe
I am you and you are me
Yeah
No
Scream aloud, become the sound
Let it out, before it drags you down
Pick it up, before it hits the ground
Hold it high, while your world drowns
Yeah
No
It fades and flows, but no one knows
where it comes from or where it goes

All for You
05:36

ALL FOR YOU
I got a pocket full of a thousand songs, but there ain't one about you
It’s all for you, it’s all for you
I try to describe what's stuck inside, but I can't push it through
It’s all for you, it’s all for you
So I just hum the tune ‘cause I can't stand to hear the words
It took too long to teach myself, some things I can't undo
It’s all for you, it’s all for you
I can't let go even though I know, it's empty and untrue
It’s all for you, it’s all for you
There ain't no escape from this house they call alone
Say it now, say it slow
Let me in or let me go
Say it now, say it slow
Let me in or let me go
Mind so dark and days so long, a struggle just to move
It’s all for you, it’s all for you
Shut my eyes and hold my breath, kill myself on cue
It’s all for you, it’s all for you
I can't fight gravity, ‘cause gravity she always wins
Say it now, say it slow
Let me in or let me go
Say it now, say it slow
Let me in or let me go
Back up now
Turn around
Back up now
Let go
It’s all for you, it’s all for you

I Choose

I CHOOSE
A cold December, the coldest I remember
I walk to the river I used to ride on
The sun's gone down, to make room for night
I sit on my blanket and pray to the light
I choose the end
I choose how
I choose when
I choose now
I write to my lover, I wonder if mother
and all of my friends will miss me next year
Who'll keep my home, who'll keep my dogs
Who'll keep my memory when I let go
I choose the end
I choose how
I choose when
I choose now
I just want peace, I just want release
to flow like this river back to the sea
I choose the end
I choose how
I choose when
I choose now
