Caught in the fray
Prodigal lost in the maze
Gathering flowers for graves
Volatile state
How can you not be afraid
Watching ‘em falling from grace
I'll be ok
Lotta mistakes
Balance new life with the outer decay
Plotting escape
Walking the opposite way
While they were talking with snakes

Offered the world
Off with their heads
Gotta get paid
Thats the refrain
Watch your step when you walk that edge
Paradise lost for capital gain
Same old song
And dance
Theyre all entranced
And fall in line like army ants
Ive been banging on pots and pans
Nameless soldier no olive branch
Peace'll come, peace'll come
It was all peace when this thing begun
No roman legions or bones in eden
No soldiers beefin for no good reason
Blind progress they impose to become
The God that that they dont believe in
Overreaching's an understatement
When you watch all the vultures feedin'
Who can say where the road'll lead em'
Thats not how its supposed to be
No sirree better slow your speed
One too many lost that were close to me
Nodding out, burning holes in upholstery
You know the code of the coterie
Love conquers all
And you hold the key
Don't keep all that locked away
Put things in their proper place
Caught in the fray
Prodigal lost in the maze
Gathering flowers for graves
Volatile state
How could you not be afraid
Watching em falling from grace
I'll be okay
Lotta mistakes
Balance new life with the outer decay
Plotting escape
Walking the opposite way
While they were talking with snakes

Same old song
Change the tune
I can see clear now the rain is gone
You dont have to fill your gut with what they consume
Or space out like major tom
Those days are gone
The nights are long
Remain calm till the break of dawn
If I could wave a wand
I wouldn't trade the here and right now
To head back to the great beyond
I'm gonna keep cooking with the apron on
Mix this with a touch of that
One spoke on a hubcap in the wheel of life
Once stabbed in the back with a wielded knife
Some fuss and fight with concealed delight
The wound wasn't healing right
I sought help and appealed to the source of all
To reveal its might
And like that I was healed on sight
The Bard and Dealz
Hard to kill
No holds barred
Guard your grill
I dont do tricks like a harbor seal
All I do is this, steel sharpens steel
The road kill pealed off the grill
Of an automobile's
No proper meal
Its all surreal
From the walls we build
To the lows some'll go for a dollar bill
