Did the missteps trample you; or
Trip you up with some “TO DO”
Roaming haunts, up, sore, pissed well past 2AM?
Learn to love the life you have
Millons pray for less than half
Stop your sulking and get off your growing ass
Will you tilt your view when there’s no one…
To shield your gaze as you lust for the sun?
You followed your feelings to their logical end; and
Wonder how you’re here again…
Let’s bend the rails in front of you
There's a better other avenue
Transpose the prose wrote by your spirit’s wrecking crew
Learn to live the life you love
Since you’ve still got time above
God save our gray who paved the way in soleless shoes
Could you correct course if there’s no one
To say you did all that could be done
You’ve followed your feelings to their logical end; and
Wonder why you’re here again...

Along the Wire

Along the wire, we're listening
And Hanging on in the air around
Filling in your memories
You'll never get to forget about
(We're) never too tired for listening
better than best friends that way
listened long and hard enough
Tell ya what you should think and say
Your warnings only slow us
(We'll) Cast them (in) conspiratorial lights
The ugly truth is steamrolled by stories (that) make us warm inside
You're neverpresent long with friends
You “SMH” at your family
You know better for them than them
You know better for me than me
Your warnings only slow us
Your cautions, paranoid asides
Your elders’ advice will be replaced by artificial life

So she says
there's never time enough
And lately it's been rough
And I know...
...she's sure there is no way
So all the weight will stay
In your home
Keep up fixer
You're a chump
When you offer plans
To fix, you're such a typical man
You don't know
Work is an escape,
An indulgence just the same
What do you know?
Keep up fixer
‘fess up fixer

Whose corpse did you want to raise
On Friday’s sanctioned celebration?
You rained on our perfect parade, with
Unbound interrogation.
Once you’re started, you can’t stop
If she gets hurt it’s her fault
Your thirst is primed for every drop
You take each word with a grain of salt
Have you reached your holy grail
(since) when you said “with or without you”?
Your urgency (was) a craved cocktail;
Are we background people or did we cut through?
Once you’re started, you can’t stop
If I noticed, it’s my fault
Your thirst is primed for every drop
You change each word with a grain of salt

Passing Dream
04:39

I’m running on four hours’ sleep
Always got somewhere to be
Drive to work while counting sheep
Or was I going to school?
Embers girl in a broken way
Way that shakes and haunts
Perfect if you could change one thing
I wanted you to want
My ‘90 Jetta's windows leak
Musty mold on the floor
Brakes refill with air after bled
My Sisyphean chore
Played a show 10 hours ago
Somewhere in the bay
Nearly died by my closing eyes
Rolling off the freeway
‘Cause I don’t want to miss out on a thing
Gonna follow every branch as I climb this tree
Avoiding false choice growing extra limbs
Making deals with the devil to avoid the day of rest
Warm my hands on the embers of this passing dream
Send my worries chasing smoke out the red chimney
To thin out in the wind like a wispy ghost
Howling ‘round the neighborhood looking for another host

The Silent Game Sacramento, California
The Silent Game is a dynamic Post-Alt Rock band which fuses grungy guitar and bass riffs with spacious drumming, melodic, arpeggiated guitar and beautiful computer-generated textures. Their sound, which has been compared to Radiohead, Placebo, Deftones and Elliott Smith may leave one feeling like they've been pleasantly pummeled by a 1990's wall-of-sound... with all the latest software upgrades. ... more
