Johnny Neiman - Verify 03:18
lyrics
download
VERIFY Trapped between the walls of incalculable sums Ever conflicting stimuli leave me cold and numb Desensitized distortion, conditioned blind and dumb Give us this day our daily bread, I’ll settle for the crumbs Why, why, so can’t I? I can’t seem to verify Tired screams, wired dreams Can someone say what this all means? A chronic façade of scrutiny Airwaves repeating rhymes of fallacy Shredded sets of blueprints, of who you ought to be Succumbing to the self-fulfilling prophecy Why, why, so can’t I? I can’t seem to verify Can you, you see through Static masking something true? Is there a threshold, homogonous and clear? Unspoken judgment to which we all adhere? Skeletal systems, slashed, singed, seared A hidden history, occluded by fear

Johnny Neiman - Live Old, Die Slow 03:26
lyrics
download
LIVE OLD, DIE SLOW VERSE 1 You never left that has-been High school football town Bing Crosby record still spinning Screeching that same old sound Dying vicariously through Those who passed before The soil seemed richer on the other side Six feet right through the floor CHORUS Live old, die slow Pass forgotten and unknown Shittin' in everyone else's pants Except your own Live old, die slow Never had the will to grow Now the birds and the bees And the the wilted trees Decay on your headstone VERSE 2 Never had the chance to fade away Cause there was nothing to fade from Always had your trophy shown on display Who you could barely call a son With a straight face, in the hallway Where the family portraits hang Such a grand facade, an illustrious fraud Do you even know their names? BRIDGE I've lived longer in a one-night stand Than you have in eighty years Cower in the corner of a crucifix Succumb to all your fears Cobwebs gather on the telephone The black screen, your reality The letters stopped coming long ago Misery lost her company

Colorless - Circa 2008 03:57
lyrics

Circa 2008 And every day I've watched you fade away But you'll never beat, that light out of me And times they are changing But not for the better I wish that I could make good on my promises You know never stopped Never gave up But my skins still sore Yeah my skins still sore But I'm still here This path isn't void of struggle There's more to life than making ends meet I've failed a thousand times But I'm still back on my feet Resilience is the only way When you've got no one to fall back on The plot of life was never so bright and I found myself and I found myself Your heart was strong when I needed it most And in the end and in the end We're in control Is the glimmer still in your eye Did you lose your sense of home Did you let yourself feel everything I miss our past more than anything But you'll never get it back The childhood picture that you had Melted long ago Pushed into these situations And I'm sorry that you feel Oh so, oh so stuck I'm sorry that there's no way out

Colorless - Support Structures 02:33
lyrics
download
Support Structures When you lost the God you thought you had No dead man in the sky Your friends, they left you behind And your crippled mind is fried The bottles fill your floor and the razors line your writs You thought that you had everything but you gave up on the shots you missed And thats okay because I know that you can be Anything that you want to be You cut yourself everyday You drink all through the night Your co-workers don't notice shit because you don't have any pride And you loved your dying mother when the cancer took her life I'm sorry for the damage but the sun doesn't shine at night The coffee doesn't wake you up Your wife doesn't care You gave up on your dreams Mom was right, nothing is ever fair And you want to kill yourself Every fucking day But if you let yourself end it all Your sun will never be the same You do it for the wife that never loved you And you do it for your son who's too young to understand And you bring white tulips to your mother's grave Nothing is okay and nothing will ever change

Excelsior, my brother!
