lyrics

Meanwhile, it's a risky gamble
Inside of embittered incantations hummed through powder marks emphatically supplied
Cracked tile in a cleaned house chapel
Don't vie for convenient little analog solutions like they're mail-order brides
Sometime, you'll have to choke down the artificial cherry flavored medicine
Chastised, and memorizing trivia that's useful just like paintings for the blind
Chapped hide, a paring knife is implemented to determine if you're worth the time
Anti-hero in a new revision, fiction that expunges every crime
Welcome aboard

Breadseeds flourish in beds by the east wall
Encircled on the floor to steep like tea in the windfall
Steering wheel in hand to banish the backtalk
If Rosencrantz and Guildenstern survive, then you don't walk

It's when all reasoning fails

In whims that vary, unpredictable weather
In anger, reconsideration severs the tether
Prematurely mirth consuming, worse or for better
The weighing of a heart so dense it launches the feather

It's when all reasoning fails
I'm eyeballs deep in details

Instead of lashing out I'll fold to the daydream
If you're in every home, I'll be only what you make me
I've been a problem child more times than occasionally
The echoes of the hammer are what's truly amazing

It's when all reasoning fails
I'm eyeballs deep in details
No love in driving the nail

And yet he acted selflessly
Or so he always dreamed, you see
He fought with honor, a closet goner
And flexed his way to victory
But he's no Michelangelo
There's several other cracks to go
A nonmasonic cross, he's on it
And reappropriates the known
But that's a higher rung to climb
Its Everest to tired eyes
A road to slaughter, dirty water
He spews the bile, a tired line

Welcome aboard
