Good Luck In Baltimore

David Bloom is on the edge again
He’s going off his meds
He says nothing feels right
Tried to check into a hospital
All the beds were full
No dice this time of night
We’ve got no space for you
We’ll show you to the door
Good luck in Baltimore
Kinda weird but friendly music guy
Till his mother died
And his world fell apart
Some friends tried to keep him off the streets
Gave him a couch to sleep on
And rides downtown
Two demons collude in his brain
He can’t keep them at bay
They come out this time of night
They’ve got a plan for you
Kick down the bedroom door
Two dead in Baltimore

I am just an observer
On the board
In which I appear
Nothing to see here
Just me spinning around spinning around
I know that I’m a deserter
I can leave with no remorse
There’s no way to be here
Without letting you down
Letting you down letting you down
How would you notice how would you know
I am in no rush to say hello
Moving the pieces smiles for show
This house is just a museum
Of our time stuck living inside
How could I stay here
Without burning it down, burning it down
Im not content to just stay here
In this maze in which I was placed
Nothing to talk about
There’s me burning it down burning it down

You say your life’s a wreck
You can’t change it now
Well it’s too late so why bother
So you stay in bed pull up the sheets
Shut out the world don’t offer
Now you don’t wanna do all the things that you love the most
And I’m biting my tongue cuz you’re being so bellicose
I try to help you
But words aren’t enough
You drink alone
You’re losing touch
with everyone that you hold dear
You put it off til it’s all too much
You’re sinking in past your ears
They pick you up just to let you down
They lift you up but where are they now?
One moment it’s all smiles the next it’s tears and frowns
I can’t predict your mood still I offer
Yeah let’s head downtown go for a walk
Gotta catch em all try harder
You got your head in the sand and too much time on your hands
You been thinking too much
I got my head in the clouds making plans so profound
Why don’t you be the judge
I know what you’re thinking
And I can relate
You feel as though you’re all alone
How could they understand
Don’t see the point in forging on
While chemicals bind your hands
They pick you up just to let you down
They lift you up but where are they now?
To take your place, what I would do
To ease your pain
Well I would take your place
What I would do to bare your pain
Your pain
Your light will shine through
Your hopes will bare fruit
Your words will ring true
Your light will shine through

Thoughts And Prayers
05:54

Our thoughts and prayers go out
To all of the victim’s families
Nothing could have been done
To prevent this sort of tragedy
That plays out with such frequency
It happens almost weekly
Nothing they tell you is the truth
Unless we say it is
This doublespeaking serpent’s tongue
Gaslight is flickering
Go get yourself a firearm
Cuz you’re the good guy with a gun
Sir if you come back here
We will be forced to call security
And if you look at me the wrong way
We will escort you from the building
Stop resisting
Won’t you pretty please stop resisting?
Well he was resisting that’s why we smashed his ugly face in
His stupid liberal snowflake face in
How you like me now?
Our fists raised
To the people in control
They don’t care what happens to you
As long as the donors
Foot the bill
How dare you use this incident
To promote your agenda?
What kind of hypocrite
Would use that sort of rhetoric?
They stole it from of our playbook
It’s almost laughable
How easy to deceive them
Our base will handle it
And blame it on an immigrant
Just put it on the internet
There’s no such thing as a white male terrorist
Ma’am if you don’t shut up
We will be forced to call security
And if you take that tone with me now
We will escort you from the building
Stop resisting won’t you pretty please stop resisting?
She was resisting that’s why we dragged her from her wheelchair
And stripped her of her healthcare
All for a taxcut for some billionaire
Stop resisting, crack open an ice-cold Pepsi Cola
It helps digest the lies we sold ya
Enjoy an ice-cold Pepsi Cola on the house
One more time for the people in the back
You don’t think it could happen to you?
Cuz you are such a model citizen
Your thoughts and prayers don’t mean a thing
Your thoughts and prayers won’t raise the dead
Your thoughts and prayers
Your thoughts and prayers
Don’t mean a thing
They don’t mean a thing
To all the dead
To all the dead
It don’t mean a thing
It don’t mean a thing
Just empty words
To all the dead

I seldom talk about
The ways in which you shut me out
There’s nothing to concede
There’s no need to apologize
I always fixate on
The thoughts that you won’t dare reveal
I’m not your enemy
You can confide in me
Your deepest and darkest secrets
Stomp and shout and beat your chest
You kick and scream still you can’t seem to shake
The feeling you’re falling faster it’s the
Embers flying that force you to ignite
Force you to ignite
Keep it all inside you
Don’t Say
Don’t Say
Keep it all inside you
Don’t Tell
Don’t tell anyone
Stomp and shout and beat your chest
You kick and scream still you can’t seem to shake
The feeling you’re falling faster now you’re kicking up
Embers the embers around you
Cause you to come alive
To come alive
Ok one two skip a few
I guess we’ll call it even
Even if you don’t
Well even if you
Don’t think you’ll survive
All those sycophants
Burning you alive
While they ballroom dance away (Promenade!)
“Look out for number one” they say
“Are we still having fun?
Today is the last time you can course correct
Or keep your nose pointed at the ground
Divebomb and eject” (Bombs away!)
“Keep those pathetic thoughts at bay
Just close your eyes real tight and say
I can see so I refuse to believe you
I can see so I refuse to believe
You”
