1. Course Correct
An Old Friend just lied to me now
I believed what he said
When he showed me the article
Did I course correct?
Went back to the watering hole
Read from the source
They told me the narrative
Did I course correct
When I had the Chance
We Had The Chance
Its a social phenomenon
It took me awhile to begin the path
and walk with an open mind
When your faced with evidence
Especially when the stakes are high
Can Others Course Correct
I no Longer Convince or try
We Had The Chance
Its a Social Phenomenon
2. Technocracy
As Technology advances
I will watch the setting sun
Ad-hoc reasoning
Will convince you
That the nuclear bomb
Was the best invention
We had to drop it
In order to sing John Lennons song
Imagine
As Technology advances
I will watch the setting sun
We’re going backwards
Too much distraction
We’ve abandoned all religion
And Replaced it with
Something toxic
It didn’t work out the way we wanted
The way we wanted
3. Somehow We Keep It Going
There’s nothing on the calendar that
I Look forward to
Everyday is a reminder
That we have less time to
spend with you
Somehow I keep it going
Somehow We Keep it going
Theres a girl crying
in her car that’s parked
she’s all alone
Somebody just hurt her
And she tries to fight back sadness
On the Phone
Somehow She Keeps It Going
Somehow We Keep It Going
Keep it going
Everyday we get up and put our best foot forward
A 70 year employee
Gives his last two weeks up
On the job
He has no friends & family
To visit him in the retirement home
Somehow He Keeps It Going
Somehow We Keep It Going
Keep it going
Everyday we get up and put our best foot forward
4. Mr. Rotary Phone
The Millennials are finally waking up
To a Snooze alarm pressed long ago
There a cave and Plato takes your Hand
Its time to leave and to grow up
The Devils Watching You
The Devils Watching what you do
Watching what you do
These Narcissists are losing
Everyone is tired of everything collapsing
This was not the future your father brought you
Time to repeal all amendments
Wake up
Stop the madness
Throw your phone off a balcony
Stop pretending
Material goods
are not the answer
Stop addiction
Over therepy
Virtue posting
5. Unobtrusive
I stood silently
It served me well
In a time of need
I was a coward
And I won’t make
That mistake again
Everybody Moved together
I saw the shift but fought no further
So much, wasted time
Conformaty was not the answer
Accountability was not found after
No one saw a Crime
And I won’t make
That mistake again
6. Turf
Teach our sons
Tell them to run away
Away from their problems
Tell them it’s ok
Keep them contained
In a class
Where they can’t move
We are not the men
To defend this territory
Provision all the youth
Addict them to the expensive soil
Teach your children to
Be adults
Acting like they were Jesus
In modernity
Modernity
7. Faded Glamour
In your Wedding Gown
You took off
You Wanted to be the best wife
He lost his Job at 37
And Got no watch
Bankruptcy she’s leaving
Now
Watch it dissolve
Here in Canada
Watch it burn
The memories in you
He Can’t Afford his house
No one can’t afford anything
The Children will divorce themselves
Mom And Dad are leaving now
Watch it dissolve
Here in Canada
Watch it burn
The memories in you
8. Adams Digest
New Orleans is home
Its a place
Where I live for a few days
Then I’m moving on
Done everything
Read everything
No Ones Calling you out
You Get To Scream and Shout
I recommend this poem
By a French
1930s poet
You won’t get the joke
Cause your not
A dissident
No Ones Calling you out
You Get To Scream and Shout
Your World, You’ll See
And be the last guy
That she takes home
9. If You Let Them
Corruption
If you let them
It starts with an idea
That we Got the best intentions
Asking Adult
Questions
What are your views on this
Complex issue
Skeptical
When someone
Has all the answers
Don’t believe
Every hyperbolic headline
Getting the wrong information
Vibe Shift
(If You Let Them)
Make Way
For A Nautical Disaster
Its a ship
Its sinking
Its Sinking fast
And Im’ ok with it
Vibe Shift
10. The Other Side Thinks Your The Enemy
Fuck that guy
He disagreed with what I said tonight
Time to dismiss his life
He just wants babies to die
Come to this side
We never lie
and democracy will never die
Our man is not a child
He’s the leading expert
And what he says is Right
People are So Idiotically captured
If you can’t see that I got news for you
We live in an age of lies and deception on both sides
No one gets out alive and there are no winners and no losers
Progress only travels one way
Everyone is conservative at what they know best
There is no Left and right
We just here making mistakes
And The less you make the better
Cthulhu...Bless You

1. St. Anthony
These Theatre Kids won’t compromise
What a wicked time
It’s the best time to be alive
If you believe that there is Sincerity
Then why does it seem so fake to me?
It’s the get out and look at the best of me
Our Life Is So Temporary (Be Like St Anthony)
Why Be Cynical?
Esoteric ending
I’m raising kids
In a world
that seems Childish
when it’s actually Childless
And I’m not a saint
And I have no solutions
But I don’t do that
And I’m always trying to get better
Our Life Is So Temporary (Be Like St Anthony)
Why Be Cynical?
Esoteric ending
Giving them all and now they want it more
2. Sick Friend Texted
Think of all the tragedies you’ve earned
Your DM said
“Let’s go out and grab a coffee”
I know, I know
It’s a front for something
We were best friends
But that was when
We were smaller
I know, I know
Sacrifice of getting older
Were Getting Older Faster
Your suffering from Munchausen Syndrome by proxy
I know I know
I could be more nicer
Let make it right
And talk after we leave this party
I know I know
It was meant for something
Were Getting Older Faster
3. Navigator
I tried to Jog your memory
The time that you once told me
be an Astronaut
A Modern Day Amelia Earhart
Flying away
And when we return
We can laugh at stories
Of me taking off
Landing on giant rock
Far away….into the atmosphere
Far Away
Into The Atmosphere
Hope still lives on this planet
It’s hard to find
We can still get outta of this mess in time
4. The Best Suit
Hope They Show Up
Wearing the best suit they found
There not into it
But they’ll pretend cause you do
Them favours
They’ll let you down
You’ve seen this Movie Before
The one where they promise
To actually sit down and listen
And be involved
Think Differently
Is Not Where They Want You To Be
Lets Hope for the best now
fake it to get what they wanted
And not be involved
It’s hard to wake up
Wearing a smile on your face
Why am I here now?
Make sounds that don’t really matter
I’ll get up today
Wearing the best suit I found
Hope for the best now
One day this will all be digested
And you’ll be involved
Maybe it’s me
You can’t force, what you want them to be
It’s home for the rest now
fake it to get us to Sunday
Or be involved
5. The Grifter
Every 7 to 10 years
Every cell is replaced
You become a new person
Your body begins to shape
Then we call you “The Grifter”
Even tho your the same person
Your not the one who’s ever tried uplifting America
The more famous you become you act and spend just like them (oh no)
The whole language has shifted
Every definition replaced
We became a new Culture
Every opinion was erased
And now we’re fighting when we’re online
And pretend to be friendly offline
Your not the one who’s ever tried uplifting Canada
The more famous you become you act and spend just like them (oh no)
6. Red Writer
In your writing…..
There is no holding back
Its in your face
You stay anonymous
So nobody knows your name
If you are thinking Red
You can’t tell anyone
They will seem to care
About your situation
Cause your now thinking Bad
You Can’t Tell Anyone
You Can’t Express Yourself
A toxic Situation
Your Art needs space to breath
Where you can just run your mouth
In an environment
That’s not for everyone
Getting the best results
That seem relatable
To only a few of us
7. The Longhouse
Mystery is alone
With Progress
Always Moving In One Direction
Under the guise of good intentions
Most Cities
Look like a flaming hot mess
In the Summer heat
Alone Alone Alone
In The Longhouse
(Biff Tannens World)
Alone Alone Alone
Where Vacation Ends
And Vacation Extends
Without a world with conversations
We don’t get to hash out Ideas
That are taboo
No Soldier will dare to
Step out of line
Everybody must believe in the same things
I do

1. Let’s Tell On Everybody
Home is where the heart is
It is easy to understand
It wont happen
It wont happen
It wont happen, No
It just happened my friend
Lets tell on everybody
Lets tell on everybody
Lets tell on everybody
Who knows our friends
Lets tell on everybody
Lets tell on everybody
Lets tell on everybody
Who knows our friends
And will see us to the end
And who knows our friends?
2. NRX
Like all cults were In
This one’s no different
There’s a leader
There are sinners
The argument seems to be
Was the Enlightenment Necessary
Good for Humans
Can we move on now?
Consider the shape were in
Filling the gaps where Religion Left
Consider the shape were in
3. What Idiot?
You think
Everybody
Is an idiot
I think
People
Are more
complicated
Its a matter
Of educating
Your self
When you realize
Suddenly
Your an idiot
Your an idiot
I’m an Idiot
Let’s Dive Right In
2023 · Album
1. Purple Caesar
Looking towards the future some say
We’re not coming back
train is not moving upward
It’s fallen off the track
The air outside represents reality
Watching the west collapse has taken
Over….taken over me
Your out there
Living your Destiny
While the breakdown
Of society
We’re out here
Live in reality
The break down of America (Canada)
2. Go Easy On Me Now
Will you Dance with me
Will you Dance….Go Easy on Me
The Boys are back at home
Tip your cap we’ll make a run
Pushing into the heat
Pushing to….Go easy on me
3. Breaks The Mold
Standing in darkness again
Waiting for the light to come out now
I’ll be the one to speak out
no one receiving
Completing my cycle
To end it all
WhatEver Breaks the Mold
Turning my back against the Cold
I saw you called my name in the west end mall
It’s all I have on me
Take what you want now
Take off the collar on my coat
4. Shoelaced
you head for the exit
Trouble souls behind you
Makin a mockery yeah
It’s well deserved
And you know that
You apologized but that’s not
Good enough
You got cancelled
no forgiveness
But it’s not over
still more Business
The way I feel
The way you see it
Shoelaced
5. A Tocqueville Paradox
Imagine yourself alive in England
In a year ruled by kings & saints
An outhouse that you use for bathing
Hunting everyday instead of hitting
Walmart
Instead of the convenience of everything
You have it way better then they ever did
6. The Pond
We Slip into the Pond
And we fall in together
We Slip into the Pond
And we crawl out together
We’ve had our ups and downs
Just like a College Football season
Some get Injured
Some get healthy in time
Everybody makes Mistakes
That’s how you learn
7. Sowell
A man you’ve never heard of
Had the best ideas
Writen 50 novels
Lived over 90 years
There are no sollutions
Only trade offs
Compared to what?
At What cost?
What hard evidence do you have
He stood alone
8. The Belgica
I’m the captain of this fleet
We set sail to sea
(Years from now)
You came back to see me
(Ships grown now)
It’s been threw the ringer
(Years from now)
Frozen in wasteland
Trapped on a ship for winter
(Year’s From Now)
Not enough to eat....for all of us
9. We Spent
We spent our lives waiting for things to...change and now they won’t
We said a minimal amount of time, till things are back to...they way they were
I said id act and give...
The benefit for the doubt
I was wrong
And so were you
At Home Waiting
All Night
(and the aftermath Left still)
All day
(the youth are years behind)
10. Attention Spam
(Instrumental)
11. Renaissance Portraits
The art attracts me in
Without a smile
Here’s a weighted grin
A long trial
(Bringing it way back
To the start
With an Offer)
You said we could leave a memory (for others to see our History)

1. Ego Infiltration
Took down my degree
Brought changes in me
I’ve got no more Bias can’t you see
And need sympathy
I got my philosophy
Where everyone agrees with me
(Giving us the run around)
Im just not that tribal can’t you see
Bad policy
And I’d give it all away
Here it comes
Gave it away baby
2. Night Cycle
As we ride threw the night
Heavens on the way
Look out for the exit
Miles away
Pedal a little faster
To Make it through the park
I’m Open to all suggestions
Where do I start
I’m waiting inside
I’m waiting
3. Typewriter In The Apartment
Typewriter In The Apartment
Telling the story of a man
Who Saw Things Differently
Drown With Your Wicked Hand
Drown Tonight
Drown With Your Wicked Hand
Your Wicked Hand
Stay Inside
4. Adult Town
The time that we raided a boarded house
With friends from our
High School
We saw the glow from stadium lights
Tailgating, Tailgating
If your leaving come and get me
If your leaving come and get me
come and get me
5. Lion Men
Where does the Lion Men Roam
Where are the Lion Men
Into their cave I wonder
And when the men return
Who are the moral man
Into addiction I imagine
Where does the Lion Men Roam
6. Intellectual Illusion
I just put down a book by Faucault
Its easy to hate on those that are slow
What is the point
Pretending to be someone your not
7. t21
Took my picture
On your phone
Writing names down
On a card
Now we’re laughing harder
Then before
Paint a picture
Write a song
You and I around the sun
You and I are number #1
8. Cliché Farm
I’ve got a feeling
And I know what to do
Superman just got here
And he’s Breaking The Rules
Say the same Thing…..Madam
Watch The Same TV Shows….Madam
Eat The Same Meal…..Madam
Madam
9. What Lies Are Ahead
Do we go where the Internet goes?
Have We gone so far
We can’t look back
Can’t unplug anymore
Making Miracles
(Look at new Technology)

1. Will You Sleep
Will you sleep ever again
Thats where memories are made my friends
And we walk clean roads
And theres food back home
I found A dime In every room
And I feel brand new again
Begin
Taking on The Resistance
Was never part of the plan
Where Do I Order?
How Do I Get It?
Making It For Me
As Im Taking The Credit
Who Is This Man?
Who Is This Man?
Will You Sleep Ever Again
And thats Where you will Find Me
