PLEASE AGREE
(2021)
1. I promise
Singing for my supper
the canary got the diamond instead
bringing me down now with the upper
you always knew how to get in my head
*smiles are just the muscle not the bone
are you the mid-wife?
or rent-to-own wet nurse
are you swift with your heads or tailor
making everyone a sow-ear purse
I would kill myself if I had to die here
are you a make-believer?
have you heard yourself talk way too much?
now you’re a paid deceiver
who couldn’t be more so out of touch
*smiles are just the muscle not the bone
the cavity is better left alone
$
I would kill myself if I had to die here
I promise this isn’t a cry for help
I promise I couldn’t even help myself
2. All night forever
There are two types of people left here in this world
you and everybody else confirmed
but you can brave the weather
and you can make it better
it can’t just be your circumstance
it’s all night forever
all night forever
*Bad dreams again
when will this nightmare ever end?
There are two choices out there doesn’t that seem absurd?
Right and left belong to the exact same bird
but they’re birds of a feather
and they just work together
and we will kill ourselves, ourself
it’s all night forever
all night forever
*Bad dreams again
when will this nightmare ever end?
it’s all night forever
all night forever
all night forever
all night forever
3. Hero in you
If I said that I missed you
would I be able to misuse
all the intended miscues
that I planned that along?
If I said that I missed you
and that I missed out on bliss too
could I then dismiss you
so we could reminisce soon?
*Feel me in your arms
I’m the hero in you
Feel me in your heart
are you ready for something new?
And if I never see you again
then I won’t have to flee you again
I could just be carefree from sin
or free of caring from within
*Feel me in your arms
I’m the hero in you
Feel me in your heart
are you ready for something new?
*Feel me in your arms
I’m the hero in you
Feel me in your heart
are you ready for something new?
are you ready for something new?
are you ready for something new?
are you ready for something new?
4. Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
I know too much now
I forgot it all
don’t know no one’s number
so I don’t call
Wake up
Wake up
Now I don’t nothing
maybe I never did
30 seconds ago
I tried to sell my wit
Wake up
Wake up
there’s a big difference in our pipe dreams
mine are empty, yours are always full
there’s a big difference in our pipe dreams
mine are empty, yours are always full
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
5. Let Down
What if I was to tell you that I’m
that I’m somebody else
would you still be you?
What if I was to tell you I want to be
somebody else
would I still not even be your number two?
would I still be the last on the list for you?
*But I’m 1/2 a “handle” down
and I’m never coming down
so tired of being let down
*But I’m 1/2 a “handle” down
and I’m never coming down
so tired of being let down
what if I was to tell you that I…
that I’m no longer here
would you even know at all?
what if I was to tell you what you
don’t want to hear
would you just blame the alcohol?
or would you understand at all?
or finally see the writing on the wall?
*But I’m 1/2 a “handle” down
and I’m never coming down
so tired of being let down
*But I’m 1/2 a “handle” down
and I’m never coming down
so tired of being let down
I’m taking my ball and going home
I’m taking my ball and going home
because I don’t belong
I don’t belong
anywhere
*But I’m 1/2 a “handle” down
and I’m never coming down
so tired of being let down
so tired of being let down
6. Hear for you
I’ll request the number and identity please
and hope you don’t outnumber all our common enemies
*because we bleed at the same speed
with a real need to get out of here
but we’ll be taking one knee
and only we see what we need to hear
I’m here for you
I’m here for you
I’ll request nothing at all
from anyone anymore
and I’ll put all my weapons down
you can have your war
*because we bleed at the same speed
with a real need to get out of here
but we’ll be taking one knee
and only we see what we need to hear
We just to listen for once
and throw away our arrogance
We just to listen for once
and throw away our arrogance
*because we bleed at the same speed
with a real need to get out of here
but we’ll be taking one knee
and only we see what we need to hear
*because we bleed at the same speed
with a real need to get out of here
but we’ll be taking one knee
and only we see what we need to hear
I’m here for you
I’m here for you
7. My only brother
Alone on a tandem
I’ll be riding alone
pick the cologne at random
just to mess with Mary Kay
but when I finally get there
to the place that’s not known
will there still be any air
or will it all be overblown?
*death makes brothers of us all
my only brother is alcohol
keep your knives on the table
so I can see where they’re at
but until I am able
to forgive this still in my back
*death makes brothers of us all
my only brother is alcohol
I don’t have to hear your story
you told it yourself
but go on and take all your glory
to the personnel
*death makes brothers of us all
my only brother is alcohol
*death makes brothers of us all
my only brother is alcohol
my only brother
8. Meaningless
I don’t want to be here
It’s just too cruel
I don’t want to be seen here
it’s just too cruel
arguing with a fool
only proves that there’s two
*so I’ll just keep staring at the ceiling
and try to find some kind of meaning
I don’t want to be here
it’s just too cold
there’s just no room to breathe here
and too many molds
*so I’ll just keep staring at the ceiling
and try to find some kind of meaning
if there is any at all
if there is any at all
*so I’ll just keep staring at the ceiling
and try to find some kind of meaning
*so I’ll just keep staring at the ceiling
and try to find some kind of meaning
if there is any at all
if there is any at all
9. Pretty Death
Here I am as lonely as God
drawing trees on paper again
but the fact checker has taken the whole year off
and has eloped with a favorite part-time vegan
*pouring salt in the wound by saying
“pouring salt in the wound”
pretty death come hold breath
petty debt is all you will get
pretty death come hold breath
pretty death
Here I am again as lonely as God
tearing down the walls of wolves
but the logical thinker has taken the whole year off
and paid all tolls with their souls
*pouring salt in the wound by saying
“pouring salt in the wound”
pretty death come hold breath
petty debt is all you will get
pretty death come hold breath
pretty death
*pouring salt in the wound by saying
“pouring salt in the wound”
*pouring salt in the wound by saying
“pouring salt in the wound”
pretty death come hold breath
pretty death come
10. Ears of the wise
It’s hard to tell on one hand
the number of you that have made a plan
it feels as though we’ll have to escape at night
because in my life, I know I won’t see this place unite
*the sooner religion dies
the sooner humanity thrives
gossip and folklore and lies will die
when it reaches the ears of the wise
*the sooner religion dies
the sooner humanity thrives
gossip and folklore and lies will die
when it reaches the ears of the wise
The past has reared it’s ugly head again
tainting the hearts and minds of simple men
who think they should be ruled with an iron fist
but it’s their own book’s message they have missed
*the sooner religion dies
the sooner humanity thrives
gossip and folklore and lies will die
when it reaches the ears of the wise
*the sooner religion dies
the sooner humanity thrives
gossip and folklore and lies will die
when it reaches the ears of the wise
you’d burn me for heresy
when peace is all I want to see
if you think that I’m wrong
then think that I’m wrong
but if I’m right
everything will be alright
*the sooner religion dies
the sooner humanity thrives
gossip and folklore and lies will die
when it reaches the ears of the wise
*the sooner religion dies
the sooner humanity thrives
gossip and folklore and lies will die
when it reaches the ears of the wise
*the sooner religion dies
the sooner humanity thrives
gossip and folklore and lies will die
when it reaches the ears of the wise
11. Please agree
Spread a little common sense on the bread for me
try to live your life in the present tense is what she plead to me
hope to find the lining in the silver screen through the red in my eyes
and make believe your life can be your favorite scene is what she said before I died
*but we’ve all seen this told before
and we’ve all seen them close the door
a woman’s hardest job is probably juggling wolves in sheep’s clothes at home
leave a finger on the barely beating pulse before it goes alone
*but we’ve all seen this told before
and we’ve all seen them close the door
!
Because nothing’s left of me
who would have guessed I need
I need some rest from me
please agree
please agree
*but we’ve all seen this told before
and we’ve all seen them close the door
