Locking you away to make a handsome sum, son Pocket the change then taking your land humdrum done The other edge of the sword is a gun Glockin’ and coppin’ ‘til the warden’s done Whose hand is on the hilt? Earning from towns your kin never built Whose hand is on the hilt? You gonna find it in sepia tone ‘Cause those hands are gonna look like your own. You gotta be You look and see You gotta be harder than me You gotta know It’s all a show You gotta be harder than me Try to run and hide but it’s growing wide on the inside Purchased and plastered on every single cab’s side They’d rather see that your blood starts to clot Hospital bills rising stocks? It’s one more yacht. Whose hand in the till? Make up a god so you feel the guilt

What I’m waiting for Was waiting for me Just to take me out With a shot at the knees And you’re trading Your hating or fees Meet Mr. Crow Writes all the words they read slow He knows he’s wrong Blaming the beggar’s fun, so. We know he knows Painting the brown on your nose Singing along Pawn in a rich man’s sideshow Says you belong Don’t even see your shadow
4.
You’re gonna lie and lie and lie I’m gonna hear it all the time We’re gonna try and try and try You’ll push away and say it’s fine. Say it’s fine Are you flying, Or have you drowned? Are you dying Or are you found? Teach you how to be a gentleman real quick All you gotta do it follow this simple trick You know it’s not that easy Say you deserve that piece of mind But your plastic’s burning all the time Trying hard to make a dime Goes up your nose and you feel fine All the time

I’m not one for kneeling On the ground or in the aisle I can see you mangling by masses You’ve got style Lies you weave, they believe I’m not one for kneeling On the ground or in the aisle Brand new neon sign displays What will we find inside? Slide into the door A friendly foe greets us in kind Abattoir of youth Killing floor for truth Who is pulling who Naked in a booth? By all means your royalty Abuse that guise and guile I can see you strangling My father’s final mile Thick as thieves It’s larceny By all means your royalty Abuse that guise and guile Brand new neon smile describes What will she provide? Scroll that bottom third for me Absurdity’s the prize.

Direct deposit goes straight to the fat Fat cats keep a guarded gap form the pack Pack my bags to leave But there’s nowhere to go Go on living when I’m punched from above Above the law, I can’t feel the love Love, Love, Love me do Do, do me wrong So please, please, please Push me down So please, please, please Keep me down This room’s got such little air I know you’d love to suck it out I know you’d love to watch me pass out
7.
You think that the moon It orbits around you Wait a minute Hoodwinked you’re immune to what you are bound to It’s a gimmick Try to keep it closed But you cannot let it go Everybody knows Lost yourself again, oh no. Along with your terminal friend Your mandatory love Fits like those yellow rubber gloves Everybody knows Dishes and the spoon they need a rescue You won’t help them Wishing you’re a queen but nobody crowned you It’s all mayhem
8.
Pride, I’ll swallow it down I’ll take it on the chin As long as you are in The way it makes me be The fear it drags me down Whenever you’re not around And having a home is now I’m watching you love Watching me love you too They’re just these tiny things They’re made of us both Both of us can’t be wrong Our universe will change If we do or we don’t need a name Write it down just the same Or drive all night to stay sane And I’m watching you love me Watching me love you too

about

This album was recorded in Austin, TX. It is loud and soft. It was made to be listened to all the way through from song #1 to song #9.

This album is a scathing rebuke to the performative government of the United States, particularly Texas. A state government which finds glee in stripping rights away from its citizens.
