Fall Behind 05:26
See that man Standing in our way What does he want with us? Something tells me Not to even care Silence sounds better Still he stands Repeating the same words He doesn't know who I am Simple concepts Slip right by us Why can't he catch them? Saving our effort Sampling our own time Stop while we're still ahead Sacred to me He's never even seen Seems like a waste of time - Robert Traxler

Cameras 04:39
She told him that the door was open While she kept me hanging on Somehow he managed what I couldn't And I don't know what that means There's no way I can move forward When I'm worthless on my own Now I'm just one forgotten entry In the middle of a list Tell me his name Tell me his name Tell me his name He was born into entitlement Pampered and naïve He threw away a chance I never had For his vacuous life's work He made a game out of his negligence And ceded his control His platitudes displaced me But I'll soon put paid to that She put a target on your head For reasons you can't understand There's only one way this can end She put a target on your head For reasons you can't understand I'm going to show you your own blood - Jacques Granger

Histrionics 05:21
Don't call me late at night Don't call me anymore Don't tell me nothing's changed Since our lives have diverged When you came back around With the problems you create I was right to keep my distance I was right to stay away Someone beat you to the punch For the first time in your life You were finally overtaken By a slowly rising tide Lines of demarcation Have to stand once they've been drawn The memories are distant The artifacts are gone I don't care about the things you don't want me to know You could have it easy, but we all know that you won't You see what you want and just take it without thinking When nothing holds your interest, you can't entertain yourself - Jacques Granger

Dismayed 02:39
Ivan was dismayed when his good gear got out of his way Out of the way - Ryan Sisung
6.
And it rains sometimes in the desert New Mexico, Albuquerque, Santa Fe Where there's earth and there's sky and they combine in the distance There is a storm coming. . . on its way The water floods the road in the desert Then it dries from the earth and the air The landscape supports all in a singularity Where the earth meets the sky in the distance - Robert Traxler
7.
Lost Year 08:01
Maybe, with me, you were right to be hesitant I gave you no reason to hide your embarrassment I know what you were worried about And you were right I know it's best to remain deferential While my place in your life becomes more and more trivial The past is a weapon I placed in your hands - Jacques Granger
8.
Death Blow 06:11
Clear-eyed in the sweltering night Shots tear through the haze Something's coming down Something's coming down Fighting to keep the panic at bay There's blackmail in the air You can't reach me now You can't reach me now You cut my legs from under me Without a second thought Now there's no way out Now there's no way out You always look right through me I can feel the distance grow I can't change your mind I can't change your mind - Jacques Granger

Visitant 04:40
Chimney smoke colors the breeze Scatters resolve like burning leaves Autumn's chill surrounds me The sun sets as I walk Restlessness my only guide It leads me in the dark Look to the sky and ask myself why It doesn't matter, win, lose, or die Nothing is ever what you want it to be Nothing is ever what you want it to be Hoping for something better to happen Knowing it never does Taking all that's gone so wrong And making it "never was" I once believed there was one road To guide me where I'd need to go Followed my heart blindly I ran 'til I got lost The path diverged and now the way Is obscured with frost After so many tries, I realized The game is rigged, there is no prize This is all there is and nothing more This is all there is and nothing more If there were ever anything better to dream about Where is it now? Where is it now? It's the fear of failing, the fear of falling The fear of everything that's always pulling me down Pulling me down - Paul Blanda

Some things are always left undone Even when you know what's next When all the estimates are right And you turn into someone else The circumstances changed so fast We had no time to react As the familiar falls away Unwanted memories are made You steel yourself as best you can When there is no way to prepare When they all spoke out of turn You were right to shout them down - Jacques Granger
11.
Battle Chant 11:08
Watch us writhe Push us down We won't fight We won't move To any truth Night of Glass A crystal lake Herd this mass Herd livestock On bare rock Of Satan's throne A socialist Hear us groan Hear us concede Freedom isn't free Words mean things Comfort that Believing brings Believing me Moderately - Robert Traxler

Doctorate 08:06
With our best years behind us And an end to this in sight Made some passing decisions That I'll pay for with my life You lead me across the borderline Then you disappear from view You talk to me through the same wall That we've spent our lives to build There's no time for revision And no way to make it right When I'm trying your patience Tell me how to stop I need to keep you close to me But clearly don't know how You told me that I could be anyone Do you have to prove it now? - Jacques Granger
