A Forecast for Labyrinth Dwellers

Before the weight of the day lands on you

Straightshooter

You’ve cast a riot in my heart

there’s no need to take the elevator

if you learn the pace

you’ll have to be sharpshooter

you’ll have to be a straight shooter

if you take the dividends and let me dance 

if you saw the evidence you’d push it down 

I’m left out, i’m left out in the sunbleach

drying out, drying out

Greetings from above 

We won’t send help today or ever for that matter 

this is on you 

this is on you 

grant yourself a chance to dig your heels into this 

rise again to win

but there’s no guarantee 

you’ll get your soul back

your soul back

this is on you 

you come in; “i don’t like those terms” 

“i don’t like your tone” 

this is on you, this is on you 

After-all, you’re good at this

let your light guide you 

let the light call you 

you climb up  

this is on you 

this is on you 

that’s a beauty, that’s a spell, now that’s a light 

this is for me 

there’s no soul back guarantee 

you can hear the siren calling 

[scotchmistmusic]

The end will arrive in a silent spring

Come with me, if you dare, split this world in two 

All your words, are so pure, your cup runs deep 

but wait a sec, how’ve you been, well i’ve been fine 

and i’ve been known to be wrong, but 

I won’t gamble

Honeymoon(s)

Here comes the boogey man, he flips to survive

Here comes the hospital, you could be there too

Don’t snap on your honeymoon, gargoyles playing blackmail

If you learn to listen, then things wouldn’t be so hard

if you lift that smile, it won’t even mean a thing

Don’t play with two fires at once, you’ll get burned

Here comes a parachute, you could land here too

Don’t snap on your honey moon, gargoyles playing blackmail

if you learn to listen, you’ll untangle all those strings

if you lift that smile, this won’t even mean a thing

invest in your singing, you won’t always have a voice

Invest in your singing, you won’t always have a voice

Devil in the Details

There’s a devil in my back 

I carry this place in my heart

Bread and wine for everyone and me 

Oh mirage, mirage, oh mirage, mirage 

Without love in my heart I was quick to judge 

Honey runs through your veins 

It’s a fine line to cross but i’d do the same for you

[scotchmistmusic]

Solid Deal

I’ve been trying, to strike a good deal

but with every step that I take I land on square one 

I can’t help but think I wasn’t made for this 

stop, sit, and let it breath

you always run, scream, and shout, you never rest

I can hear a whisper that grows weaker by day (and day by day and day by day)

it’s nowhere near the closing time but why does it feel late

I can’t help but feel that i’m too late for this 

that I wasn’t made for this 

[scotchmistmusic]

Red Herring

I am not a distraction.for this game.in this way 

You’ve been overtaken.by some words.by a smile 

pleaseenlightenmewithyour                                            endlesswisdom 

pleaseenlightenmewithyour                                            endlesswisdom 

I am so over these things;your new ways.the old ways 

feel the river turn way~feel the air turn grey 

I'm not trying to step on any toes.        BUT     here     I     go     again

I'm not trying to step on any toes.        BUT     here     I     go     again

I'm not trying to step on any toes.        BUT     here     I     go     again

Tell-Tale

A little secret has slipped out of mouth, out of your tounge, you’ll burn down cities

A little white lie that’s spread like wildfire, like roots on the ground, you’ve taken hold

But I don’t mind, if it’s not you, I don’t care cause it’s not me, I won’t mind if it’s not you

A microsecond delay, have given a tell, have risen a flag, your smile betrays

A fraction inching closer, and you’ve taken a mile, you’ve taken a pulse, you’ll burn down cities with that tounge

But you don’t care if it’s not you, and you don’t mind cause it’s not you

[scotchmistmusic]

Make Room for the Warrants

Where the hell, are you taking me? 

This train has no room left

A prophecy that colors everything, everything you taste 

it tangles 

it loops 

it bounces 

it repeats 

“I can’t turn it off” 

Why the hell, are you so kind to me? 

Stop hinting and speak 

I can’t erase the lines in the sand 

complicit in this tragedy lines up a fabled truth that grasp at straws to make sense of the wind

and yet I can’t turn it off 

it loops

Raining Daggers

Breathless mirror can you tell, a lie for me? 

my intuition is shy, a parallel to the muses 

A weird feeling pulsing in your mouth, don’t get yourself in trouble

run home…

Nameless faces, resolve, to show me who I am

Faceless people, reside, and show me im not me 

it’s raining daggers 

pointless finger, will you point a safer route 

A sharp feeling, stabbing in your back, don’t get yourself in trouble 

the longer that I stare, the stranger that gets, to me 

Nameless faces, resolve, to show me who I am

Faceless people, reside, and show me im not me

it’s raining daggers

[scotchmistmusic]

Think On Your Sins

When you wash off all your sins 

an impossible road, one less traveled 

when you confess your crimes, I won’t judge 

an impossible road, a righteous man 

must not cast stones 

not catch worms

not cast flames 

not cast grades

all the things that’re pilling up, their crooked face, their crooked faith

(if you were to say....) 

““ 

Lay out all your cards 

can you sense trickery? (of course not)

Think on your sins

and get back on the right track

Don’t say that, your words get caught up in a tango of vetos 

if you don’t smile it don’t count 

if you don’t pray you don’t care 

if you don’t bend you don’t eat 

if you don’t sing go in 

if you don’t care you wont get in 

if you don’t follow my commands 

“If you were to say”

Lay out all your cards

can you sense trickery? (of course not)

Think on your sins

and get back on the right track

The Dream

I’ll follow your lead

would you follow mine?

life is but a nightmare 

could you be my dream 

everything is temporary 

or so they say

Your light is complementary 

I hope to find worth 

in your waking world

time slows with every passing breath

your light is complementary 

it guides me home 

it guides me home

this dream is where i am stuck

this dream is for the alone.
