You came on in and you bought it all, not a care to give but the bottom line Efficiencies Efficiencies Redundancies Redundancies How much juice can you squeeze from the same old orange People come and go but this is something else, farewells a plenty goodbyes are tough We’ve had enough so take a breath and slow it down Reconsider, recalibrate set the culture resonate You’ll see the tenor change a new gravitation Find out you’re next, Say your goodbyes Find out you’re next, Say your goodbyes It’s been hard on us all, we keep on punching in, cylinders grind pistons knock and ping Needles and pins and needles and pins everyday The times will change that is a fact, we are flexible and can deal with that Here’s an idea it’s free of charge run it up the chain Sure seems like a game that you play each day, trying to stay afloat can’t believe its gone Shifting sand no solid ground needles and pins Your decisions have ramifications Find out you’re next, Say your goodbyes Find out you’re next, Say your goodbyes Condition failing, Condition failing ...

Philosophies faded the table is set It’s a buffet take all that you can Gloated and bloated they rot in the sun Scavenger scavenge the remaining bits Elevation Fade, Elevation Fade Elevated to find it, tell them not to go It’s a mission to ruin, avoid at all cost

Scrambling 03:18
Fire drills always scrambling Will one day tear us apart No sustained deliberation It’s so easy to follow the wrong path All hands on deck over and over Crying wolf won’t solve the problem When will you learn, be decisive Stick to plan we’ll get there sooner or later Come again and be humble See the resistance dissipating Listen well, formulate Iteration favors the fearless

Looked Up 04:13
Can’t believe I looked up to you I can’t believe I looked up to you When am I going to learn The company man for fifteen years, corporate jets, bonus time Sold souls congregating again self image suicide, making some bank Modern day poacher a digital fiend, optimize the transfer lopsided transaction You took what you came for now go away, take your guilty conscience along with you Activism as art to sleep better at night, the gesture is lost on anyone who sees it Stop the charade, take it down a notch, integrity lacking was it ever there The stream of submission nothing obstinate there, heart pumps the green pollyanna persona Disassembled affection is so hard to hide, the truth comes out in every word you say It’s hard to forget the guidance that you shared, you should embrace it, remember the code We took different paths but ended in the same place, no deficit here no need to make things right 90 degrees perpendicular joint, it’s not a secret just be real with yourself No particle storm or fog of war, integrity lacking was it ever there

Lost The Way 05:10
Wake up each day, start fresh I tell myself But the routine sets in, habits renewed on the track again The books I read don’t do the job the cards I bought are just a fraud Empty without action transparent devices, broken, cast aside The scenery never changes like a loop repeating itself Slide into the landscape assume my position, eyes, cast down Never see it coming until it’s too late, on track again no exit ramp Nodding my head, interject when needed, waiting, for it Tell me a story about another time, when truth was told and lies exposed Rose colored remembrance, revisions reframing I, lost the way The trail never ends up and over the boulders, airways constrict into loss of breath Smothered confessions manifest self relations blame, cast away
