Artifact 02:02
It's a gift to be confused Knowing all is where you'll lose I can preach but you've heard it before And whom am I to call the score We failed you yet again How are you this misinformed Your empathy has me torn I know it's hard than ever before Those easy times are days of yore You failed us yet again

You're a bull, I'm no matador Your rumors add furor Such a criminal Uncouth Predictable No more will I be confessor Running, empty you can't hold onto me Those hapless days were long ago Running empty you can't hold onto me It's time for you to go Paths collide postwar Your rumors add furor Don't be physical Please don't be difficult Mark it down as our misadventure

Monroe 02:34
Your best intentions Show bitterness Now your name is spoken With indifference They no longer want you You've set the tone Those second glances Are all but gone Oh, you had a fall Monroe You got to let it go Be, Here in the now Monroe You got to let it go Shuffle uphill Your dilapidated soul is a poison pill Next moves uncharted No point moving forward half-hearted Oh, you had a fall Monroe You got to let it go Be, Here in the now Monroe You got to let it go

July 5th pre-noon Start drinking to soon Drove down to the river Dialed her number and shivered And he said Listen girl I'm short on time I messed up big but this is mine Pack up quick and bring the gun They're on their way and not for fun I'll explain when you get here Meet me at the Broadway pier I'm in a grey Silverado I'll be drinking horchatas July 5th pre fall She heard the voices down the hall The footsteps came closer She aimed as she loaded And she screamed You motherfuckers hit the floor I'll kill the first nigger who comes through that door Her courage high her nerves of steel The effect of 'good stuff' is very real Within that pause she painted on some jeans Threw on her sneakers and dropped to one knee The door swung open they meet eye to eye

Daylight stuck in bed till quarter to three Powerless to the darkness coming down on me Freeze frame yet spinning 360 degrees Connecting like a passive aggressive disease You've chased me for so long The suffering prolonged Then you tagged along To Break Me This Time Around I'll Beat It Down You say sit, I obey You seize my mind and you dance around like a drunken ballet Medicated, overjoyed Taking control of my time to make you null and void You've chased me for so long The suffering prolonged Then you tagged along To Break Me This Time Around I'll Beat It Down

Flash point, fire to an eerie calm Toast the moment not the host Watching, above like a peeping tom Nonchalant Aplomp You Bring This On Dictate the theme of all that's wrong The theme to govern all Target the easily cajoled Disregards the human toll You Bring This On You walk around unaware Longing to revere A past we do not share You Bring This On
