Minus One

Now it all comes down to this
A war of words and hate.
Something we both missed
Instead, retaliate.
I stab at you with empty eyes.
You parry with a fist.
And now we both feel
Slighted, cheated hurt, and pissed.
I’m mulling this all over now
Of how we got this far
When I spent less time home
And more time in my car.
The roads stretch on forever
When there’s nowhere left to run.
And now this perfect life
Is perfect, minus one.
I’m not fine.
And all those things I said
On that rainy night just
echo in my head.
So now I’ll try...
Try to change my fate
And it’s not enough.
But it’s not too late.

I jerk my hand back as you slam the door
on all I wanted.
And back it up with lies. Back it up with pride.
Without integrity, your only goal is profit motive.
And I won’t worship at your golden calf.
You got me spinning ‘round
Two feet off the ground.
And then you sold me out.
I never had a doubt.
And with your gold pen you spent
All the hopes of those that matter.
Scooping up your prize, you ruined all those lives.
I should have taken heed,
through crooked teeth you hissed and flattered.
And your blinding greed blindsided me.
And then you sold me out.
I never had a doubt.
But in the end, you’ll bend and take your turn.
So take a look around. Your bullshit topples down.
I’ll stand and I’ll watch your kingdom burn.

Vacant Stares

You roll the dice and bet everything you’ve gained.
You wait outside where your tears mix with the rain.
You’re winded.
When your dreams are met with vacant stares,
Can you salvage hope and carry on?
When everything you gave up
Makes you throw your hands up
Ready to give in.
It’s only you that you’ve got to rely on.
You wrote it twice, signed in blood, you’ve been resigned.
It won’t suffice, and raze every bit of your design.

Cova San Jose, California
Music is neither a contest, nor an auction.
That one thought is what has kept
these musicians together through several incarnations: Soda, Outline, Black Chords.
Over the years, they’ve seen it all--good, bad, indifferent--all the while never letting it taint their reason for being: music.
