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

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

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

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

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)

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

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

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
