Broken Blinders Call me out on my bullshit, pit me against my belief system Challenge my words, my intentions, my actions Push me out of my comfort zone If I am wrong I'll take it back, if I was wrong I'll right the past
2.
Hazard Payday Laid up, laid off, denied, distraught Once deemed essential but expendable now What's the point of holding good jobs If the jobs do no good for you and yours You break your back for a pencil neck And you're left with nothing left but rent Stand with essential workers you say But the workers require a hazard payday Insane, in place, shelter, your face Exposure for a minimum wage Can't touch no one, nothing you love Remind them who's right, its the customer

Lukewarm Feelings Not a gospel or a good story, there's no meaning, no allegory Soul searching before being deported There's not a single ounce of truth left to be distorted They say timing is everything They say time will heal all wounds Ten years time I disavow What we don't know sure hurts us now its 1, 2, 3 strikes and you're done Time is everything, time will heal all wounds Everything this time is a long bad feeling We're all gonna be dead and healing Dead! We're all gonna be dead! We're all gonna be! I'm not gonna carry this weight up on my shoulders Clarity comes everyday I grow older

Texas, 2021 01:10
Texas, 2021 You're not pro-life, you're pro-birth You don't fucking know what life's worth You claim this to be the land of the free It applies only to your infidelity You're not pro-life, you're pro-birth You don't fucking know what life's worth You preach eve's pain, her fault, her curse But she knows better, she'll make a choice

Suppression or Security   Latent racist tendencies, Jim Crowe resurfacing The GOP are social vultures, voter suppression is cancel culture Too far to make the time, too thirsty to wait in line The GOP are social vultures, voter suppression is cancel culture What have we got? Suppression or security? No proven fraud that we can see What have we got? Suppression or security? What kind of nation do we want to be? It's not a toy or a children's book They're directing you where to look The outrage is just a distraction, there's no energy left for action What they want is a culture war So you forget what you're fighting for The outrage is just a distraction, there's no energy left for action What have we got? Suppression or security? No proven fraud that we can see What have we got? Suppression or security? What kind of nation are we?

Strength in None Snowflake this and snow flake that, I don't identify as democrat... Where's your mistress? Where's your taxes? Where's your gun and where's your access? When's the time and when's enough? When you get real and get real tough What we've got is strength in nothing! We've got strength in none! Where you've been and where you are Is not a list that can go far We've got strength in none!

Ode to You 02:21
Ode to You Ode to you, we'll pull through I put on this façade everyday of the week Get up, no direction but I move my feet With greasy hair and an empty stare A thousand miles can't compare Vacantly I smile at your face With greasy hair and an empty stare No one can know what lies behind But it's something that we all will have to face Too young, too soon, too much to fucking lose Can't justify or rationalize Sometimes you need relief, all you got is grief I want joy not misery When will it end? I don't know, gotta make room for the unknown Can't admit your existence is shit The ugliness, endless torment The pain, sickness, untimely death Is no match for the bond that solidified us, as one Too all the ones we lost along the way We aim to make you proud until our dying day Too all the ones we lost along the way We aim to make you proud until our dying fucking day An ode to you
