Tsunami Bomb

Tidal 

Your whispers echo louder than screams

We hear your call

Smoke signals rip the blue out of the sky

We hear your call

They can’t keep us away; we’ve always known right where you were

They’ll try to push us under we don’t drown

We’ll spit that water back in their face

Lost figures close their eyes; refuse to see

Won’t hear your call

Reduced to embers but time it would not kill the flame

We hear your call

They can’t keep us away; we’ve always known right where you were

They’ll try to push us under we don’t drown

We’ll spit that water back in their face

Your whispers echo louder that screams

We hear your call 

Keep screaming

Keep screaming

We hear your call

They can’t keep us away; we’ve always known right where you were

They’ll try to push us under we don’t drown

We’ll take them out with a tidal wave

We’re always listening
We were waiting for your call

Naysayers 

I’m so sick of hearing what I should be doing

How I should be living, what traits are redeeming

I won’t be adhering to what you’re defining as normal and standard

I have my own answer

I’m not asking permission

I don’t need your forgiveness

You don’t define the conditions

Your judgements won’t bring me down

Today — I seize the moment

Today —I live for me

Today — I won’t hesitate to live my own way

One day — I’ll look back

One day — Without regret

Someday — You’ll know that today was the good old days

Is it so wrong to create my own mission?

To not get wrapped up in your contradiction?

To choose my adventure?

To get past the fiction?

Your monotony is draining and I’m through with waiting

I’m not asking permission

I don’t need your forgiveness

You don’t define the conditions

Your judgements won’t bring me down

Do you not see that it’s an addiction to live your life only for admiration?

Today — I seize the moment

Today —I live for me

Today — I won’t hesitate to live my own way

I’m not asking permission — I won’t wait for tomorrow

I don’t need your forgiveness — I’m going to live for today

You don’t define the conditions — Don’t rely on the future

You can’t bring me down — Today’s the good old days

The Hathors

It’s not your eyes that I want to see

For once look past who you want me to

I don’t need you to approve for me to be

You can’t live your life vicariously

Don’t take your regret out on me

You insist on clinging to the past so desperately

You are the voice inside of my head

If you could only read between the lines

You’d see that I’m not broken I’m just flying blind

Even though I have let you down sometimes

Just know that for you

I have always tried

You speak with love, but you look with disdain

With regret, false amends

You pretend that I’m what you want me to be

Just relax, take it back

Understand that there’s more to you and me to comprehend

It’s not rebellion, I just need you to set me free

You are the voice inside of my head

If you could only read between the lines

You’d see that I’m not broken I’m just flying blind

Even though I have let you down sometimes

Just know that for you

I have always tried

 You were the voice inside of my head

Making doubt everything that I said

You were the voice inside my head

You were the voice inside of my head

Making doubt everything that I said

You were the voice in my

You were the voice inside my head

 If you could only read between the lines

You’d see that I’m not broken I’m just flying blind

Even though I have let you down sometimes

Just know that for you

I have always tried

Sinkhole

The asphalt breaks under my feet — under my feet

There are not bright lights in the sky tonight

A dark shadow it follows me — it follows me

I can run but I have to stand my ground

 This city is sinkhole, sinkhole

So sick of climbing — to the sky

While my dreams fall through my hands

This city is a sinkhole, sinkhole

But I’m still climbing— but I try

Wish I could change direction but it’s a long way down

Long way down

I’m falling down — I’m falling down

I’m falling down — I’m falling down

The thieves don’t have to run and hide — to run and hide

They stand up and stare you right in the eye

A child screams out in the streets — out in the streets

This isn’t life but I have to try and get by

This city is sinkhole, sinkhole

So sick of climbing — to the sky

While my dreams fall through my hands

This city is a sinkhole, sinkhole

But I’m still climbing— but I try

Wish I could change direction but it’s a long way down

Long way down

 The asphalt breaks under my feet — under my feet

There are not bright lights in the sky tonight

A dark shadow it follows me — it follows me

I can run but I have to stand my ground

Petaluma

With adventure in her eyes

She turned from their advice

Believed her happily ever after wasn’t that far away

A story as old as time

Isolated herself to disguise

That she lost herself along the way

Follow, follow, follow

Your heart until it breaks in two

 One step is all it takes

She’ll never look back

No matter the demons she finds along the way

And she’s leaving again to an empty space

Her pride holds her hostage the entire way

Follow, follow, follow

Your heart until it breaks in two

Childish dreams they crumble, until you feel hollow

The road less traveled will be the one that hits back

Her spirit - buried in tunnel

Her soul - left on the stage

Her reflection - dwindling on the river as she walks away

Her spirit — her reflection

You didn’t think she’d go but you never asked her to stay

She walks away

Follow, follow, follow

Your heart until it breaks in two

Follow, follow, follow

Your heart until it breaks in two

She Never meant to run away

Just needed to move on

Home doesn’t mean anything

If it means going back

Home doesn’t mean anything

She never meant to run away

If it means going back 

I just need to move on

Dead Men Can’t Catcall

A chill runs down my spine

You won’t look in my eyes

What do you think you see?

What do you want from me?

Don’t sit there lying to me telling me you understand

Your actions tell me exactly where you really stand

There was nothing subtle in your gaze

No innocence in the way you would not leave me alone

Let’s make this loud and clear, no misunderstanding here

I will not be afraid

Take your hands off me — I’ll never give in

You’ve already lost — you’ve lost

This is not a game and I am no one’s toy

You never even asked my name

You think you know, who am I

No, you don’t, that’s a lie

You think you know, who am I

No, you don’t, that’s a lie

I won’t hang my head anymore

This isn’t the last of you and me

I was stripped of my identity now you will know your place

See how it feels to be the one without a face

And I won’t give up the chase

 Take your hands off me — I’ll never give in

You’ve already lost — you’ve lost

This is not a game and I am no one’s toy

Take your hands off me — I’ll never give in

You’ve already lost — you’ve lost

This is not a game and I am no one’s

I am no one’s, I am no one’s

I am not your toy

Phosphene

The night is the brightest darkness fighting for my mind

I tell myself that it’s a dream, that tonight I’ll be fine

How can I sleep?

How can I dream?

When I only see you

Every time I close my eyes, I can feel you

Every time I close my eyes, I still feel you

Just as I think it’s passed; I can feel you pull me under

Every time I close my eyes

Silently the nightmares flood in filling up my mind

Paralyzed by paranoia, every night you are inside.

How can I sleep?

How can I dream?

When I only see you

Every time I close my eyes, I can feel you

Every time I close my eyes, I still feel you

Just as I think it’s passed; I can feel you pull me under

Every time I close my eyes

I know I’ll rendezvous with the devil tonight

Drawn back by a touch, a lust the I can’t fight

You’re out of sight, I’m out my mind

I can feel you right behind

You’re out of sight, I’m out of my mind

I can feel you right behind

Every time I close my eyes, I can feel you

Every time I close my eyes, I still feel you

Just as I think it’s passed; I can feel you pull me under

Every time I close my eyes

 The night is the brightest darkness fighting for my mind

I tell myself that it’s a dream, that tonight I’ll be fine

Last Call

If you make it through today

You can make it through anything

Even clouds have a ceiling

When you stop believing

That there is nothing left for you to fight for

I tried to be understanding

He found me so demanding

When I would ask him, “are you alright? What’s wrong?”

He didn’t stay for last call

He left his whiskey half full

I can’t remember if he even said goodbye

Found him hanging around

And when they cut him down

I couldn’t help but wonder how things got this far

This devil knew how to find him

Covered his eyes to blind him

From all the people he inspired

Like a parasite growing inside

He kept trying to hide

That it was over, he no fight, he was gone

He didn’t stay for last call

He left his whiskey half full

I can’t remember if he even said goodbye

Found him hanging around

And when they cut him down

I couldn’t help but wonder how things got this far gone

Why did I not see it

Did I have blinders on this whole time?

With friends like me he never had a chance

He had no fight, he was gone

He didn’t stay for last call

He left his whiskey half full

I can’t remember if he even said goodbye

Found him hanging around

And when they cut him down

I couldn’t help but wonder how things got this far gone

If you make it through today

You can make it through anything

Just hold on for today

And I’ll buy the next round

He didn’t stay for last call — last call

He left his whiskey half full — half full

I can’t remember if he even said goodbye

Found him hanging around — around

And when they cut him down — him down

I couldn’t help but wonder how things got this far

He didn’t stay for last call — last call

He left his whiskey half full — half full

I can’t remember if he even said goodbye

Lullaby for the End of the World

 We’re running out of time, we’re running out of time

Sands are flowing and we’re going slowly out of our minds

With our perceptions and false predictions

It’s beyond looking on the bright side

We walk around with our eyes closed and we can’t see where we’re going

We’re running out of time, we’re running out of time

Hope is fading, we have to stop waiting

For someone else to start the changing

Your prescription for this addiction just pushed us further in this mess

Don’t wait very long

To take control, don’t hesitate, the moment is nearly gone 

You say you want a change

Well I say take a stand

‘cause all I see is you holding out your fucking hand

Take a look around you this world is dying

And we get nothing if you sit around crying

It’s time to show your hand or sit back and fold

Do you want a future? A future where we grow old?

So, turn off that screen and let’s raise a glass

This one goes out to you, getting up off your ass

We walk around with our eyes closed and we can’t see where we’re going

We’re running out of time, we’re running out of time

Don’t wait very long

To take control, don’t hesitate, the moment is nearly gone

We’re running out of time, we’re running out of time

Sands are flowing and we’re going slowly out of our minds

Your prescriptions for false addictions

We’re way beyond looking on the bright side

Wake the Dead

 Last night I saw you standing over me

I couldn’t shake the feeling it must be a dream

I wouldn’t wake up

I wanted it to last

I’d stay here in this moment, live in our past

And I keep screaming, just trying to wake the dead

Are you listening?

I can feel you breathing like you’re here with me

Are you listening?

We can fight back, just don’t fall asleep

It was so cold beside you, I lied to make us both believe

I held you tightly to me as you fell asleep

You couldn’t fight it

I had to face alone

That this time you weren’t coming back to me

And I keep screaming, just trying to wake the dead

Are you listening?

I can feel you breathing like you’re here with me

Are you listening?

We can fight back, just don’t fall asleep

Are you listening?

I can feel you breathing like you’re here with me

Are you listening?

We can fight back, just don’t fall asleep

Are you listening?

I tell myself don’t hold you, let you rest in peace

Are you listening?

Tell me you can hear me, just don’t fall asleep

The Spine that Binds

 Make your words believable

Make an honest woman out of you

You will always be alone, let’s make your stories true

 Right now, it’s time to watch the pages turn without you

Now we are one and you are gone

It’s never meant to be goodbye

Just a break from all the lies

Now it’s time to right the wrong

This is my story, my fight, my song


This is our story our fight, our song

This is our story our fight, our song

This is our story our fight, our song

Make your next sip count

For it may be your last

You reach for any empty pack as you fade into your sleep, your drink

It’s time to watch the pages turn without you

Now we are one and you are gone

Don’t turn around — The ink is dry — There’s no rewrite — This is our time

Don’t turn around — The ink is dry — You had your chance — Now say goodbye

I won’t rip out your page, this isn’t your story to tell

I won’t rip out your page, this isn’t your story anymore

Don’t turn around — The ink is dry — There’s no rewrite — This is our time

Don’t turn around — The ink is dry — You had your chance — Now say goodbye

It’s never meant to be goodbye

Just a break from all the lies

Now it’s time to right the wrong

This is my story, my fight, my song

This is our story our fight, our song

This is our story our fight, our song

This is our story our fight, our song

It won’t be like it was before

This isn’t the story you thought you knew

Watch the pages turn and see there’s no more fighting

then hiding behind empty words and thinly veiled lies

Now we are one and you are gone
