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

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

This Time Around
03:58

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
