lyrics

I have seen you come and go.
Milk has spilt and blood will overflow.
This glass is getting low.
Which action can we take?
Sadly, friction holds you back.
No victory without the heart attack.
Ballistic weapons stack
The odds on your mistake.

I've come down with a bad case of some inertia, carry on, but watch the fall.
The first and second symptoms pass but the tertiary one will keep me bouncing off the wall.
Just because it's chaos doesn't mean that it's a free-for-all
And I'm inclined to cue the band. This dance is like a billiards ball.

You can't stop what's on its way.
Must you take off, choose the negligée.
That slinky thing will take
The stares. We've hit the ground.
Sink the shot, you end the game.
But you won't reap the fortune or the fame.
It's grim, you'll bear the shame.
It goes and comes around.

Satisfaction is your fate.
Good things come to those who masturbate.
I'd groan but it's too late
To change our destiny.
Moving on to push away,
The more you leave, the more I have to stay.
I'll push and now you may
Give all your best to me.

I've come down with a bad case of some inertia, carry on, but watch the fall.
The first and second symptoms pass but the tertiary one will keep me bouncing off the wall.
Just because it’s priceless doesn’t mean that it’s a free-for-all
And I assume the cost is steep. Momentum steals you when you stall.
We must kickback from every shot, regardless which ones we could call.
Alas, we’re smashed together; is there any sign of alcohol?
Bottoms up, but upside down, we’re gone again, away we crawl.
The spread expands, the length contracts, we contradict and pinch and sprawl.

Brimaxian Portland, Oregon

A persistently versatile mix of guitars, keys, synth strings, and more, in the rock, acoustic, and alternative genres. Dense, poetic wordplay sung by a semi-amateur baritone. Wry wit, hot guitar licks, and the occasional augmented sixth chord.
