"Lip Service"

There's always another way
There's always an open mouth.
You can put the words in...
Or you can let them come right out.
Battles and campfires
Questions you shouldn't ask.
Where is the line in the sand that I drew?
It's barely a memory like you.
These days will overcome
The ghosts of another time.
Hardship and loss at a relative cost.
Taste their mind.
Elect to abandon
Neglected affairs.
Choke on the hope you can sort the arrears.
Correction is noted - Correction ignored.
Data is sifted and mined from the walls and the floors.
No one escapes.
The great hunt is done.
So put down your lasers and call in all favours and run.
We can't stay here we must go.
We have one day then we roam.
Off to nowhere to the show.
We can't stay here we must go.

"Grazing the 2.0"

Together we should build a bridge
So we can set a light
Passages from here to there that never worked out.
Hardly ever walk because they lead beyond the open song.
We like unfinished business.
Light a match - take my hand.
Stay and watch it turn to rust.
Turn to dust - turn to hope...
Give a little more this time.
Have a turn at the wheel have a moment you can own..
Get outside - come on back.
Through the window you will see.
In the crypt we store the grifted objects that we kept.
All the while the patient child grew troubled as we slept.
All lines connect the times to
Waking plots and choking vines.
Sinister is sometimes wise - but you know this and so do I.

"Serpentine Soliloquy Blues"

And the white got all tainted that day
She said anyone - He said anyone
Show me the option.
That's a mile down, hard times for now.
In the scope of the moment.
Rope is important.
Eloquent fortress for the Bastard of Conquest.
We can be friends - we could be less.
Let there be issue - let there be stress.
Bring on regrets.
Mines cover all sorts of ground.
And the remnants they give it that special - special sort of sound.
Through a long walk we long for those hours but they're gone.
Hopeless yet potent.
Noble in notion.
Show us your discontent.
Is there a magnet attached to this head?
Something is dragging the cells into reserves...
The new wells are a problem.
Cape Canaveral - a problem.

"If Monday Was a Sundae (bring your gun day)"

Friday compound Friday - until the month is done.
Then you can just sit back all day long.
Take another Monday - use it just for fun.
Always cascades freely - through the sunshine.
It's always sunny with a gun.
Sonic sister sundae.
Make the ears aware.
Aware of joy of something clean.
It seems they care and all we hear is little senseless bits of dreams.
