Situation Room

What’s going on in the house across the way
What’s going down in the situation room, I tell you
There’s a man, sitting at his desk
Unqualified to lead this mess
Who’s gonna steer the boat
Who’s gonna save our lives
Who’s gonna steal the day
Make no compromise, in bed with all the spies
Telling you all these lies, I can see evil in their eyes, I tell you
What’s going on in the house across the way
What’s going down in the situation room
I tell you, I tell you, I tell you
I tell you, I tell you
There’s a guy in the far right field
Publishing lies - Hitler in disguise
What’s gonna make his day is when you have to pay
Who’s gonna have your back
When your lifeline up and snaps, you don’t know where you’re at
Adrift in some lagoon, with some twittering buffoon, I tell you
What’s going on? In the house across the way.
What’s going down? In the situation room
I tell you, I tell you, I tell you
I tell you, I tell you

SFB (WTF)

Shit for brains, nothing remains
Bringing pains, ain’t it strange
Perspectives change, some other way
Views in time, the pictures that are mine
The sun, it rises and when it falls, a blanket of darkness covers it all
Nobody believes in the past, when everything seems to go so fast
Things they might depress, a meaningless process, that I protest
Allowing me to express, my utter lack of discontent
Looking past the deeper scars
Warming hearts to heal your soul
Seeing things for what they are
Accepting life is what I know
Shit for brains, nothing remains
Bringing pains, ain’t it strange
Perspectives change, some other way
Views in time, the pictures that are mine
The wind, when it blows, I hear it knocking on my window
Silence in the night, creatures lurking out of the light
Nothing to exchange, never was I even in the range
I hear it in the distance, getting closer every minute
Looking past the darkest days
Allowing minds to show the way
Seeing things for what they are
Moving on is what I know
Shit for brains, nothing remains
Bringing pains, ain’t it strange
Perspectives change, some other way
Views in time, the pictures that are mine
Shit for brains, what do you say
Please explain, your evil ways
People change, without shame
Tell me how, you think this is okay
Shit for brains, nothing remains
Bringing pains, ain’t it strange
Perspectives change, some other way
Views in time, the pictures that are mine
Shit for brains, what do you say
Please explain, your evil ways
People change, without shame
Tell me how, you think this is okay

Do You?
02:50
|

Do you feel inadequate
Is that what makes you act like a prick
I don’t think it’s an accident
That you are that way, everyday
Do you want to start a fight
Do you feel you’re always right
Do you do everything out of spite
Do you think it’s some kind of slight
Do you feel like you’re the best
Better than all the rest
I’d rather take an acid test
Than to be with you, another day
Did you ever listen to me, or did you just see right through me
I never wanted a contest, I was never really even impressed
Do you feel like I’m a threat
Is that why you are always on edge
It doesn’t really even make sense
Why you treat me this way, every time
Do you feel inadequate
Is that what makes you act like a prick
I don’t think it’s an accident, that you are that way - everyday
That you are that way - everyday, that you are that way - everyday
That you are that way - everyday, that you are that way - everyday

Just Wait
02:36
|

Wait
Cause if you want it you'll work for the day
When everything's crashing down
Run for your life, if you can
I had a dream in the night, about the most peculiar thing
Cuts like a knife, when I go to think about it
What is happening, to this wacked out story
What is happening to me
Wait
Cause if you want it you'll work for the day
When everything's crashing down
Run for your life, if you can
Guilty as charged, unopposed, this judgement might mean my demise
The ugly truth, wrapped inside a curtain of lies
What is plaguing me, this faded plot line you'll see
What is happening to me
Just wait
‘Cause if you want it you'll work for the day
When everything's crashing down
Run for your life, if you can
Just wait
‘Cause if you want it you'll work for the day
When everything's crashing down
Run for your life, if you can

In Your Head
03:24
|
|||
There’s a hook, in your neck
And it’s messing with your head
I look down at my watch, it is overtime
Bringing me peace of mind
Falling out the window, today
Seeing the ground below me, I wanna drift away
There’s a chip in your head, and it’s corroding you
Get off the streets and show your bloody teeth
A store across the way, selling hatred
Cut another line cause we’re only trying to do it right
Floating in my subconsciousness, right now
Seeing what’s all around me, fading into dust
There’s a seed in your brain and it’s taking over
Get out of here - or feel the wicked pain
Out to shore I go, floating off the way
Only pay to play, 10 more times
Nobody ever sees all the efforts
When passing judgements, please set it all free
C’mon to my friends, don’t get sucked in
Cause that’s just the game, and oh what a shame if you’re not okay

Escape
05:13
|
|||
Life has a way, of making each day
A challenge, a task, nothing ever seems to last
There’s no prediction to what has happened here
I cannot imagine what you’d say about this last year
I’m gonna get on the next bus
I don’t know where I’m going
But when the world treats you rough
You’ll know where I am
Escape, you know that you wanna
Be free, swim in the water
Run, as fast as you can
Away from all of this insanity
Woah, woah, woah
Alive, the thoughts in your heart, set them free
A solution will arise through the fire and the ashes
I could not explain to you, my thoughts when I was back there
Something always told me there was more than what was shared
I’m gonna get on the next bus
I’m not sure where I’m going
And the world treats you rough
You know where I’ll be
Escape, you know that you wanna
Be free, swim in the water
Run, as fast as you can
Away from all of this insanity
Escape, you know that you wanna
Be free, swim in the water
Run, as fast as you can
Away from all of this insanity
Woah, woah, woah
I don’t know what to say, I don’t have answers for your questions
You’ve gotta be kidding me, when you say that I’m wrong
I’m gonna get on the next bus
I don’t know where I’m going
But when the world treats you rough
You’ll know where I am
Escape, you know that you wanna
Be free, swim in the water
Run, as fast as you can
Away from all of this insanity
Oh escape, you know that you wanna
Be free, swim in the water
Run, as fast as you can
Away from all of this
Oh escape, you know that you wanna
Be free, swim in the water
Run, as fast as you can
Away from all of this insanity
Escape, you know that you wanna
Be free, swim in the water
Run, as fast as you can
Away from all of this insanity

Realize
01:56
|
|||
Just let it go, what you’ve held in
Give yourself the time to realize that you don’t have to quit
Oh, the weight that you are holding, you don’t have to carry
The voices in the distance, you don’t have to listen to
The love that you are feeling, isn’t going anywhere
Just let it go, what’s in the past
You, yourself can realize the pain is never coming back
The sadness on your face, I don’t have the heart to bear
Only you can set it free, leave it in the past
The love that you are feeling, doesn’t take vacations
Just let it go, what’s on your mind
Give yourself the love and courage to fight your worthy fight
Just let it go

Give
04:15
|
|||
Give me a break from this life
Give me a notion or a reason why
Try to forget yesterday
Give me a break from my own brain
Everything I touch, turns to dust
What’s in my mind, isn’t always clear
I look out the window, and ponder my existence and why I’m here
Deep blues in the mystic, whispers so softly and sincere
Does anyone know
Does anybody know
Give me a break from this life
Give me a notion or a reason why
Try to forget yesterday
Give me a break from my own brain
I tried to leave, it all behind
But it caught up with me, all in time
I wanted to fledge, my own path
But I don’t have, the strength to last
Does anyone know
Does anybody know
Give me a break from this life
Give me a notion or a reason why
Try to forget yesterday
Give me a break from my own brain

Little Creatures
05:06
|

Little creatures in the night, runnin' in my head
Scurry through the bushes, looking to be fed
How does he get back home
Think about it, the ones you discarded
They’re watching you, and all of your carnage
No more time for them, while you build a family
Left all alone, with no one to love
How does he get back home
Little creatures in the night, runnin' in my head
Scurry through the bushes, looking to be fed
How does he get back home
Do you know where she went, when you walked away
Like their only friend, stood them up on a date
She could have been killed, but you didn’t care
Just shows your compassion, fade into thin air
How do they find a home
Little creatures in the night, runnin' in my head
Scurry through the bushes, looking to be fed
How does he get back home
There’s a rat in the bushes, a skunk on the street
A dog running loose, in full blown heat
Just open that door, find it deep down inside
To look without judgement, and to be satisfied
How will they find a home
Little creatures in the night, runnin' in my head
Scurry through the bushes, looking to be fed, oh
Little creatures in the night, runnin' in my head
Scurry through the bushes, looking to be fed
How does he get back home

Pickup the Pieces
05:00
|
|||
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Always up for speaking, what's on my mind
I gotta get better, to handle this weather
Coming up ahead
Something nasty underneath my bed
Why can't I get it out of my head
Always around, when I needed a hand
Never had a better friend, in the times when I needed them
They always cared, when the dust fell down
Helped me pickup the pieces
When nobody else is around
Before anything had hit the ground
Nobody heard a sound
The news was all over town
Gotta pickup the pieces, gotta pickup the pieces
You didn't always sound so bright
Something’s changed deep down inside
All rusty parts have been replaced
Expect it all within the case
Ya gotta find a better way, to see what I'm seeing
The path that was chose for you, wasn't meant to be
Live life on a new track, living on a better path
See into the future
And turn off your lying TV, does nobody see what I see
People living in poverty, let go and it'll set you free
Don't judge the minorities for somebody else's deeds
Nobody will listen to me, my heart bleeds compassionately
Gotta pickup the pieces
Gotta pickup the pieces
Gotta pickup the pieces
Gotta pickup the pieces
