Taproot Album

On your feet now rise, Defend yourself or hold your peace
Honored one's in disguise, to cast away or make believe
It's now a matter of opinion, be careful what you say
You want a stayed execution, plead the fifth which you may
Intended quiet makes a deafening sound
While missing nothing can be lost and found
That's why
Join us (what goes up must come down) this law effects us all
Join us (what goes up must come down) or together we'll fall
Await the final decision, torture at it's best
Guilty by association, but no more than the rest
A taste of heaven makes the world go round
Despite 11 jurors' votes don't count

On your feet now rise!

Game over now
Anticipating what's been done is done
My contradiction takes away the sun
Evolving sideways back and forth we sway, evolving sideways back and forth we stay
Every once upon a time, when vast apologies were fine
Exit silence and sweep the deck below
Reality's my bitch this time, and yesterday's now history
Outro silence, and I'm on deck alone
Participating inside of this mutiny
Our ship's been hit by less than a mystery
So what's the verdict do we sink or swim
Where I deserve to be, at the helm heading back out to sea
Unanchored in the storm, reminds me of old times before
I'm right here where I need to be

Your story only tells one side,
It's based on fact, but filled with lies
(you'd be rich if each was worth a dime)
I played my part and that's defined,
You played the field on borrowed time
(and i know that fault was all but mine)
I chose to let you in,
You chose to pull away
I jumped right out of my skin,
When I heard you say

"Everything I said was true,
Everything except that I love you"
If it's not me, than who?
I think I deserve to know,
Now we're through and through

No glory resides inside my mind,
At least I never crossed the line
(cause I don't need the distraction)
But an angel appeared on your devil's side,
Nowhere to run nowhere to hide
(I'm just a nickel with traction)
So should we say goodnight,
And give it one more try?
This isn't worth the fight,
So let's just say goodbye

Everything I said was true,
Everything except I love you too
And if it's not me, it's you!
I thought you deserved to know
Now we're through and through

Sad to see forethought after me
Cause that's not fair
Put yourself in my shoes
And become the fractured one cause
I no longer care!

Everything I said was true,
Everything except that I love you
And if it's not me, fuck you!
I thought you deserved to know now
I'm through with you!

Why rise and shine,
another 21 hours ruined by my voice
Fine gift of mine, offensive cloudiness showers though not by choice, yet
Not just unrelatable, just...

Release me, from what I've done
Release me, from what I've done

Tying the binds,
a bitter will still empowers, but wont fill the void
Blind by design, another stellar potential view has been destroyed, again

Not just unattainable, just...

Release me, from what I've done
Release me, from what I've done

I've let down what I care for most, it's hypocritical, and unforgivable
Lock me up when I'm intentional, and unpredictable, not forgettable, please

With so many unknowns, the many things we've lost
It's hard to find an example, worth defending the cost
With so many unknowns, in our future's past
Emerging from the shadows, let's take our lives back
You're not alone, in this fantasy
It's terrifying but it's not supposed to be
We've clung to many, we've paved some roads
But at the end of the day, we need to break down every door that's fucking closed
We tend to walk the shadows, it's getting cold and we've been spread too thin
Emerging from the shadows, survival's sake now next of kin
Daylight savings all around me, pockets posing, ashes falling down
It's not disturbing see, that all we've got to say
if it's best to do yourself, then the answer lies in me
Oh, it's okay, we've found it out before
We've got control back now, like it was meant to be

We're not the problem, we're not the cure
But at the end of the day, we need to break down every motherfucking door
The answer lies in me

Hello operator, I think I'm to be tried
For believing in my uncle, even though he lied
911, 911ost
Emergency, this blood on my hands isn't killing me
Take these broken reins, away from me
In the aftermath while eyes fade green
To black, his eyes fade green to black
His stare was strong and balding, As he flew
His wealth was military, health like me and you
No coming back

She's been a target before
And he knows her handle well
Emission nocturnal with envy, now
She's rang his bell, but doesn't know it
Universal in never ending, running from herself
No reversal though in his calling
Locked inside his, locked inside his hell
She's burning his cross, with his fingers crossed
Trophy Wifi
Not a soul can tell
He's got a show to tell
The object of his infection
hell bent on this sell, e-stalking profit
Crawling sideways among the darkness
Relentless in her escape for help
Or lack thereof she's unwillingly now become
His trophy to mount

Yesterdays were all the same
Independent, where were you
Nothing's changed, it's not a phase
Or two
Lakeside playing down on the docks, like a painting, skipping rocks
Killing time, awaiting nothing to be found
No one to see, no one to believe in me
Like a suspect walking free, anxiety is filling me I'm through
So where the fuck were you?

You said you'd work to make things right
You said that I wont have to worry
you said you'd stay with me, honestly

Now I know your words don't mean a thing
Killing time, awaiting, nothing to be found
Nowhere to be, nothing to instill in me
That I'm a part of humanity, the irony is splitting me in 2
It's not my fault, that it is here I stand
It's not your fault, that it is here I stand

Step right up, let's paint a smile
On a clown so it's upside down
Sarcastic impression of what we've become
Playing the part that's been cast by some
Lying in wait, trying to figure it out
Needing to make ends meet
Elephant's in the room tonight
Around and round we go, where we stop no one will know
Everything seems to be falling apart
Happens complacence can feed the spark
End over end, side by side
Lonesome while counting down clock's been tight
Praying for help we'll be alright
Nothing can save us until we've been left behind
One more time
View from below looking up's where we start to climb
One last time
It's not as bad as we knew it could be
Sometimes kind, never proud
Escort me into the light
Let's fake a smile, step right up

We don't have to see, eye to eye, as long as we get along
We don't have to hear, ear to ear, as long as it's a great song, playing
Different strokes for different folks, if

I've found no religion, but I still have faith
I've made some decisions, but I'm following my fate
I'm not so indifferent, everyone is the same
We're all just opinions, that extinguish the flame
No opinion, since no view is true
We don't have to feel, an eye for an eye
What we take can be a mistake
We don't have to sense, 666
When we can manifest hate, laughing
Different pokes, from different jokes
No view is true.

Can someone explain to me why
Everyone's in such a hurry to say goodbye
A rush into the finish line
With no time to spare
I'm not a loner I'm a miracle, so go save yourself
I'm not alone because you're never there, I choose to
I choose to take the stairs

We are all nothing but cheap wine
In a rush to become so fine
Ferment, grow old, live fast and die
With not a moment to spare
Time is of the essence, one step at a time
Don't fall from the ledge my friend, following the blind
Time is an illusion, fifth dimension's glare
Nothing in this life is free, but the complimentary stares
I'll accompany my own, for me
Not you, not we, judge me now jury
I just can't fake anymore
That's why I'll just take the stares.
