Headless Emperor

My blood is in this earth
I don’t look the part
My intentions never shook
Though petty hands will shape my worth
Soft destruction hovers here
Under shade of grand design
Hesitation scars get mined
Been here in name a thousand years
Conquerers are everywhere
From bitter tongue
In abject gaze
Shapes conceit
Nothing left to say
My blood is in this earth
Petty hands will shape my worth
Soft destruction hovers here
Been here in name a thousand years
Conquerers are everywhere
Afford my will to live
Dry by lavish pools
New fences never cease
Burdens all but give
Disaster done unto himself
Nurture life after the till
Another headless emperor
Been here in name a thousand years
Conquerers are everywhere
Who are they that names them
By what measure reasoned
Bastard man made up the meaning
In the weeds is the beginning
Its an open season
Conquerers are everywhere
Headless emperor
Been here in name a thousand years
Conquerers are everywhere

Raw Nerve

Flush with rookies blood
You offer up yourself
Caught up in a crush
Beneath the latest spell
Flexing out your wings
A bird of prey and prayer
You’re over everything
Relentlessly aware
Of all the talk and spin
Marching through the wire
That puts your hair on end
While stroking your desire
You can only work with what you got
Till the grind long at your bone strikes belief
Separating you from steady shock
To become another raw nerve for the greater body
You flutter and you drag
On faith's eternal fumes
Just long enough to have
something more to prove
Now the opposition has
Given you the chance
By virtue of contrast
To support your zealots stance
You can only work with what you got
Till The grind long at your bone strikes belief
separating you from steady shock
To become another raw nerve for the greater body
All the chaos under skin
You've given words to tame
It won’t bend to your whim
Or answer to your names

It was the last time
I thought I’d ever let you in again
When you told me
If I let you play me
I must be needing a friend
Well that much might be true
But Roy you’re still a god damned fool
And for the company I keep
Well, hell, I must be one too
Take the medicine and shut up
Take the medicine and shut up
Shut up
Take the medicine
Take the medicine
Take the medicine and shut up
Shut up
Even way back when we first hitched
I saw the signs ahead
Like how you'd park your car
Where the busses let off
The high school chicks
But Roy that’s how we met
Down to the same bus stop
Did you not think I’d catch wind of it
Or did you not care if you got caught
Take the medicine and shut up shut up
Take the medicine and shut up shut up
Take the medicine
Take the medicine
Take the medicine and shut up
Shut up
You crown me Anna belle of your ball and chain
But its no secret I never took to the name
I rather be known as anti freeze Annie
Take the medicine and shut up

The Center
03:54

I fear you will always find
What it is you’re looking to prove
is it worth what’s left behind
To stand right upon your truth
What a luxury to fantasize
Your take has it figured
Proceeding down an assigned line
Following your trigger
Can you read your own mind
Or is it read to you?
In dreams pedestrian
Colored in pencil gray
To Hush what tears confess
How small you feel today
Can you read your own mind
Or is it read to you?
One more story
From the others end
One more story
From the others end
I’m afraid you haven’t space
In your head for another
Valid point misplaced
Worked dull in your favor
Tear it from the ground
Knot it in something new
Graft the loose ends all around
Till the center's only you

Love Is All Right

I've told rumors on some
And I’ll admit that I knew better
See even I was loved once
And I’ll protect that love through whatever comes
Here goes another failed experiment
Here goes another failed experiment
I’m still standing
My wings to crutches
I’m still standing
My wings to crutches
Here goes another failed experiment
I’m always lying through my teeth
I’m always lying through my teeth
I’m always lying through my teeth
I’m always lying through my teeth
I’ve spread rumors on some
I’ve spread rumors on some
I’ve told rumors on some
I’ve spread rumors on some
I’m always lying through my teeth
Here goes another failed experiment
I’m always lying through my teeth
Here goes another failed experiment
I’m always lying through my teeth
Here goes another failed experiment
I’m always lying through my teeth
Here goes another failed experiment

Pull Me In

Pull me in I won’t go willing
Pull me in I won’t go willing
Into this fever dream alone
I need to know that you see me beyond what you are needing
Through the fantasy and filters sharper images condone
Don’t get the real deal twisted with the sweetheart one you’re working with
I’ve pacified my instincts with poison and play
I’ve traveled far too far staying out of the way
Pull me in I won’t go willing
Pull me in I won’t go willing
Into this fever dream alone
And as for my intentions
I’ve no plan to which I’m scheming
For the fantasy and filters
sharper images condone
I’ve long hoped for fate to step in
Trip the circuit I’ve been running
Trapped in endless negotiations
With the kid who couldn’t win
He’s got every excuse under the sun for keeping me in
Pull me in I won’t go willing
Pull me in I won’t go willing
Trapped in endless negotiations
With the kid who couldn’t win
Sometimes I let him pretend he’s pinned me
And remember no ones counting
Pull me in I won’t go willing
into this fever dream alone
I need to know that you see me
beyond what you are needing
Through the fantasy and filters
sharper images condone
Don’t get the real deal twisted
with the sweetheart one you’re working with
Don’t get the real deal twisted
Don’t get the real deal twisted
Don’t get the real deal twisted
Don’t get the real deal twisted
With the sweetheart one you’re working with
Pull me in I won’t go willing
Pull me in I won’t go willing
Pull me in I won’t go willing
Pull me in I won’t go willing

From the first viewing of the video and hearing 'Love U More, I had to get this album! Now, I can't stop playing it! I can dance to this all night! Amazing album. Other track of particular note is 'Strangers' but all of this is pure genious. Throbbing bass and haunting guitar with perfect vocals... What more could you ask for?
