The Modern Goal

Choose your vice and roll the dice
Play it up and pay the price
Present your mask to devil
Get your participation medal
Bruise your heart
Scar your soul
Pave your path to the modern goal
Right and wrong, good and bad, it’s twisted
Fake a smile, give a wave, you’re gifted
Choke back tears for all those years done
Like a phoenix rising up, we’re gone
The mask’s too tight,
But it’s covering the shame
So the show goes on
The mask’s too tight,
And it’s smothering my flame
But the show goes on
So choose your vice and roll the dice
Play it up and pay the price
Present your mask to the devil
And get your participation medal
Bruise your heart
Scar your soul
Pave your path to the modern goal
Lie awake, drifting off, drowning
newly formed king of fools crowning
Take a hold of all your fears, break them
Every fox around the bend, take them
The masks too tight,
But it’s covering the shame
So the show goes on
The masks too tight,
And it’s smothering my flame
But the show goes on
And on and on!
So I'll choose my vice and roll the dice
Play it up and pay the price
Present my mask to devil
Get my participation medal
Bruise my heart
Scar my soul
Pave my path to the modern goal

"Sick"
Frozen in a trance
Wanting to go out
Searching for my soul
Don’t know what that's about
I'm looking in the mirror and I’m trying to smile
I’m looking in the mirror and I’m trying to know
I’m stuck in a prison of anxiety
You built it around me
(So I'm still here)
Around me in the shadows
(And I'm lost in the void)
I’m stuck in a prison of anxiety
You built it around me
(So I'm still here)
Around me in the shadows
Superficial thoughts
Have me tied down
Searching for a scar
Scouting imperfections out
Hoping for the best
Dreading it’s the worst
God only knows which came first
I’m stuck in a prison of anxiety
You built it around me
(So I'm still here)
Around me in the shadows
(And I'm lost in the void)
I’m stuck in a prison of anxiety
You built it around me
(So I'm still here)
Around me in the shadows
I’m stuck in a prison of anxiety
You built it around me
(So I'm still here)
Around me in the shadows
(And I'm lost in the void)
I’m stuck in a prison of anxiety
You built it around me
(So I'm still here)
Around me in the shadows
Every day seems a little bit warmer
Even in the pit without a light
I’ll try my best to swim and dive
In the shallow waters
We let the lake run dry
But it doesn’t mean it's...

Play the song and rewind
Take me back again
To all those times at midnight
Warm light guide me home
"daer dluoc I hsiw I"
Play the song and rewind
Take me back again
Play the song and rewind
Take me back again
Play the song and rewind
Take me back again
Play the song and rewind
Take me back again

Gary Come Home

Gary, now I know I was wrong
I messed up and now you're gone
Gary, I'm sorry I neglected you
Oh, I never expected you to run away
And leave me feeling this empty
Your meow right now would sound like music to me
Please come home 'cause I miss you, Gary
(Gary, come home)
Gary, come home
(Gary, come home)
Gary, can't you see that I was blind?
I'd do anything to change your mind
More than a pet, you're my best friend
Too cool to forget, come back 'cause we are family
And forgive me for making you wanna roam
And now, my heart is beating like the saddest metronome
Somewhere I hope you're reading my latest three-word poem:
"Gary, Come Home"
(Gary, come home)
Gary, come home
(Gary, come home)
Gary, come home
(Gary, come home)
Gary, won't you come home?
(Gary, come home)
Gary, come home
(Gary, come home)
(It's not safe in the city)
Gary, come home
(Gary, come home)
(Have you seen this snail?)
Gary, won't you come home?
(Gary, come home)
(I miss you, Gary)
(Come back to David)
Gary, come home

Hey baby, I noticed that something was wrong
Why don’t we try to escape
'Cause I found a place not too far from home
It’s like a tropical getaway
I know the way from here
We can have lots of fun
Sip piña coladas
And sit in the shade
No one said that we had to go
'Cause I found a place not too far from home
It’s like a tropical getaway
I know the way from here

Isolate
Tempted
Isolate the problems that you’re facing and cut them out
Educated to be easily tempted
They’re looking in taking their photos
Walking away leaving us for tomorrow
Oh, what a sorrow
Running away won’t solve all my problems
But damn, it’s a start so let’s give it a go
I want to be where nobody knows my name
Running around lost in the chaos
Keep me at arms length but pull on my heart strings
Forging a new start and fanning my flame
Cast aside by everything and everyone
They appear
They align and look into my eyes
They see the joy I see the sorrow
They see the pain and I see tomorrow
I see tomorrow
Running away won’t solve all my problems
But damn, it’s a start so let’s give it a go
I want to be where nobody knows my name
Running around lost in the chaos
Keep me at arms length but pull on my heart strings
Forging a new start and fanning my flame

This Wick

I wish I could say that we’d
Be happier if I just shut my mouth
But we know that was never a choice
It was made so you
Could find your voice alone
Alone
So I wish you the best on your journey
I wish I could walk it by your side
But I know that’s not a choice that I can make
So I’m praying every day
That you find in your own way
And you know I’m here for you
But if your path drifts you away
From the path that I am on
Well I’d say:
I'd close my eyes and
Send you away
Tears in my eyes
Fear in my heart
But a joy for you
