brave with such a strong deception
better defines the moment you
wasted your whole conception
I hate to admit it but I always knew
I'm writing you out of my recollection
it's better to fuck off, there's no exceptions
flatter yourself with every wrong direction
enjoy today, you're limited
you nest in investments that you've gambled away
I applaud this play you're living in
but soon the end will commence and nothing else remains
be for real
my, we trust
you must feel
fiction's lust
you are alone with your own autobiography
erasing the facts, replacing with acts of lame audacity
and yes I have a tolerance but I can't stand the smell
of a self-syndicated asshole with bullshit to sell
enjoy today, you're limited
you nest in investments that you've gambled away
I applaud this play you're living in
but soon the end will commence and nothing else remains
the root of your mind is so insubordinate
the word of your score is just a metaphor supporting it
the truth in a lie, signed when you start forging it
like never before have I spoke such truth so warranted
your scripted reality's a joke
deep in that hole you dig within
I'm man enough to let it go
and watch the walls come caving in

Grind

you can read me just don't page ahead
you're better off indifferent with everything I once said
like I am, so straight talk me please
I'm living in a haven for insanity pleas
communicate this so we can be
agreed that it remains judgement free
'cause pain is untold and felt alone
we ran through the cold to find our way home
in spite of all my doubts I'm breathing
yet my earth is shaking ground
in the absence of your sound I'll breathe in
but there's nothing to be found
and in the perfect company
nobody cares about tomorrow
we're living our biography
with memories to follow
add me up, subtract the past
the energy was negative but didn't seem to last
to a brand new day where I'll start from scratch
I'm finding out my everything is something I've gotta have
but I'm stuck on you and this fucking place
this entire experience is straight from grace
a sound is made if there's no one listening
but the time won't tick if I don't pay attention
in spite of all my doubts I'm breathing
yet my earth is shaking ground
in the absence of your sound I'll breathe in
'cause there's nothing to be found
and in the perfect company
nobody cares about tomorrow
we're living our biography
with memories to follow
us to bed, and they'll plagiarize our death
I'll breathe in
and every day is a fresh new danger
you wanna run but you're stuck to the floor
and though you know you just cannot stay here
when you're gone you'll be back for more

Kick

this one comes to you straight from the hills
now tear up the floor with them dancing skills
we've got to reach, got to reach for our dreams
we've got to tear doubt apart at the seams
well if you wanna know what I've got left in me
it's trouble and more trouble man
for any man that steps on my dreams
well so many times I've tried, so many times denied
now I got this pressure on me
so I call upon the pressure drop trying to make it stop
and from stress I'm set free
well I'm a pessimist, I need this lift, I gotta be quick to bust a riff
that'll bring mind some peace
so please, please, please don't stand in the way of my dreams
we've got to reach, got to reach for our dreams
we've got to tear doubt apart at the seams
well if you wanna know what I've got left in me
it's trouble and more trouble man
for any man that steps on my dreams
when you're old and gray and you finally realize what that secret is
it will be too late, your chance will have already been missed
after all we all just got one life to live
so be great and take all of your chances
we've got to reach, got to reach for our dreams
we've got to tear doubt apart at the seams
well if you wanna know what I've got left in me
it's trouble and more trouble man
for any man that steps on my dreams
with a solid, steady kick on a riff like this
originality's trendy so come back to basics
you look lame when you pout
embrace doubt and you're out
to the rhythm of the snare put them hands in the air
got a dream in your heart, now let your life be there
pull the sky to your eyes
and let me hear you say KICK

Not The Place
03:26

chased out of the homestead
by an eagerness familiar to me
and I know that time is getting old
and that's why I'm constantly
reassembled by my own words
drawing lines in the sand with my head in the dirt and
I'm not that firm in the earth I'm standing on
and I've planned it all along
better than better is the best to be
and the wetter the weather lets you test the sea
all the women and children left at the docks
'cause we'll never find home until we get lost
I'm in the wrong place at the right time
contrast, old friend of mine
this is not the place
I'm reminded every day
end all my past subscriptions
stuck in one place
it reminded me to change
out of that last position
this is not the place
I'm reminded every day
end all my past subscriptions
stuck in one place
it reminded me to change
out of that last position
this is not the place
this is not the place
this is not the place for me

Ugly

I burned the morgue
I beat you to the punch
I'm crazed by thoughts
while you're busy having lunch
so I prayed
eat dirt
I'll snack on the past
I'm underground
you're on the surface setting traps
so I stayed
everything's so ugly
the way life made me
but it feels so lovely
we're living energy
it was dawn
and every single car was gone
and if you ever want to need me
I'm in the middle of the lawn
everything's so ugly
the way life made me
but it feels so lovely
we're living energy
I'm telling you what
you're gonna get stuck
don't try to run from the sun
you gotta react
you're gonna get trapped
under the dirt and you're done
crack open a new can
you're just a suntan

May

when the cold air finally thaws it's a cure-all for depression
December took my happiness with such ease and aggression
when I'm finished packing up I'm gonna head out to the coast
the oxygen I'll breathe in isn't the same air that I know
the sun collapses eyelids, leaves a crack across your mouth
like summer slapped your face and just said, "Shut the fuck up now!"
forget the place that I have been
the second I take it all in
come this May
I dig my hands into the sand and watch them wash away
sweet breeze, I'm sold
anticipation made an enemy inside of me
leave me alone
looking back on it now my sweat still beads ice cold
like a refreshing reminder to my skin of nights old
my only innocent pleasure
a simple change in the weather
just keep the senses on defrost and trust that the five know
it's here the flower season
windows down, it's hard to believe I'm breathing
sunlight eclipses night
mercury conquers height on the Fahrenheit
and I found out this way
the year doesn't start 'til the first fucking day of May
the rich, rich sunlight thaws my heart and soul
and I'm not cold
come this May
come this may
the equinox came and some may say
we're like a preheating oven 'til the end of May
an old man lost his breath today but
hey, hey, I feel okay

Return To Paper

frayed edges
the story's been chased by margin for far too long
with every metaphor you find
you know fin is finally finalizing the way you want
and you're cut if you slip
the blood and the pain make it all seem legit
and it's almost as if
well it's almost as if you lived it
tell me, tell me can it not be so?
finish who you are and then return to paper
it's lived quick but written slow
so I return to paper
tell me, tell me can it not be so?
finish who you are and then return to paper
it's lived quick but written so slow
bury my name in paste
if it makes you feel like the page won't go to waste
and now you're left with a vacant space
and you know you're point can't wait to scrape away
no need to illustrate
you're eyes grew tired with every day's changing fate
and it's almost as if we read too late
tell me, tell me can it not be so?
finish who you are and then return to paper
it's lived quick but written slow
so I return to paper
tell me, tell me can it not be so?
finish who you are and then return to paper
it's lived quick but written so slow

No Service Project Long Beach, California
Inconsistent.
No Service Project will probably annoy you.The band has been bailing on every sound it's gotten you
used to since day one. Expect the expected, if you're expecting what you shouldn't expect. This band will get in your heart, make you love them, break up with you, get a makeover, then ask you out again.
