THE ONE SLACK MIND $2 CD DEMO
(Smoke U Out)

Heal my heat…the only way for me
Talk is cheap…keep it away from me
Taste my stress….the only way to…
Walk my steps…the only way for me

We’re gonna ride it…we’re gonna ride it out

Are you my treat…bring it here to me
Talk to me so sweet….keep it away from me
Feel my stress….the only way to….
Feel your best…the only way for me

We’re gonna ride it…we’re gonna ride it
We’re gonna roll you…we’re gonna smoke you out

Weaned from the teat…keep it away from me
I’m so complete….keep it away from me
I’m so blessed….keep it away from me
Fucking get dressed…keep it away from me

We’re gonna ride it…we’re gonna ride it
We’re gonna roll you…we’re gonna smoke you out

(3 Knockdown Rule)
3 knockdown rule is in effect
I come calling…calling you collect
You hear my voice and say HOW?
Do you like me now?
Haymaker with some know-how
Stagger you back with right cross
I’m the father of the big boss
And where is you’re high horse now?
Giddy-up and go…and don’t be a zero
Because they’re doing the math
Party girl…look what you did
You weren’t too careful
And now you’ve got a kid
And you ask me why…they don’t wanna hang now
Girl you’ve got the know-how
Staggered you back with a right cross
You the mother of your only boss
And where is your high horse now?
Giddy-up and go…and don’t be a zero
Because they’re doing the math

Repeat Verse 1

Bridge:

I’ve used up all my chances
I’ve used up all my chances
I’ve used up all my chances...now
I showed you how
I showed you how
I showed you how...now get the fuck out

(2 Many Wings 2 Fly)
Come one and come some
Nobody pays…there only room for some
Pardon me for the mess
I’ve buttoned up the world
And now I’m getting dressed

Chorus:

Pulling on the sky
Inhale…too many wings to fly
Bang the…bang the drum
I want you all to come and eat some
Pardon me for the meal
You're fattened up
Time for the ego-peel

Chorus:

Draining out the sky
Inhale…too heavy to fly

Chorus:

Drowning in shit
Have I earned my wings
Drowning in shit
Have I earned my wings...no

Repeat Bridge

WHAT WAS THE QUESTION?
(Slack)
Karma’s on its way
I told you it would make you pay
Oh! I’m so unfair…I want you here...now disappear

Pre-Pre-chorus
Wide eyed, I see it coming x4

This may take awhile
I’m borrowing your charismatic smile
Oh! You’re made of steel?
Well I caught a glimpse, I made you feel

Pre-Pre-Chorus

Pre-Chorus:
Nothing you do or say will cut me slack x 2

Chorus:
Don’t think you understand
Cant your smell off my hands…and you said it would be the last time

(Backstroke)
Verse 1:
Backstroke…while I implode, fuck you…I’m in a hate mode x2
Plenty of me to go around…don’t tell me to put the gun down x2

Verse 2:
Backstroke…while I implode, fuck you I’m in a hate mode
Sit and watch my plants grow…crush you then I implode

Creep to me
You’re creeping to me

Repeat verse 1

Reach for me
You’re reaching for me

All I had here now is gone
You stretched me until I was gone x2

You stretched me until I was gone x4

(1 Step)
Verse 1:
Frustrating, exhausting times
Don’t point me the way…don’t give me a sign
Your pulse is sure making me move
It’s not a scam I’m not that smooth

You say that you’re needing your space
Or you don’t like the way it’ll end…friend x2

What you do is make me love the cravings x2

Verse 2:
You’re renting the space in my head
I’ve sweated my weight in lives that I’ve lead
You call into truth my intent
Don’t see why your gone…don’t know why you went

What you do is make me love the cravings x2

Chorus:

1 Step, 1 step from crying uncle
1 Step, from giving up on you
1 Step, 1 step from crying uncle
1 Step to what’s left

Repeat Verse 1

Chorus:

Post chorus:
1 Step from crying uncle
From giving up on you…fuck you
1 step from crying uncle
From giving up on you

(Pornhits & Bong)
Please...pass your device to me x2

How do I define you?
You’ll never be more than I’ll let you (you motivate me)
How did I design you?
You’ll never see more than I let you (you motivate me)

Repeat above

Eyes don’t fail me now, not tired of looking
Lungs don’t fail me now, not tired of puffing
Eyes don’t fail me now, not tired of looking
Back don’t fail me now…are you tired of picking me up?

((40 Billion, Billion...) Candlepower)
I spent some time…..as the only one…as the only one
That would listen to you

We keep time with a broken sun…with a broken sun
We keep mine...in a wounded sun…
Never burned me at...
All my days I picked you to train, I picked you to blame
All my days, I picked you to blame, I picked you to blame
All those days, I deserved to stay, I deserved to stay
All those days, I deserved to burn
Well you wait your turn

40 billion, billion blisters on the face of your lies
40 billion, billion scars on the back of your mind

I deny, just a little bit, just a little bit, I deny
I deny, just the little shit, just the little shit, I deny

Didn’t do anything, didn’t do anything
I’ll do anything, I’ll do anything
Don’t say anything, don’t say anything
I’ll do anything, I’ll do anything
And the light shines
I’ll do anything…I’ll do anything

(Aircraft Grade)
When I roll through your humanity
You were reminding me that you were never free
When I strip through your humanity
You were reminding me that you were never free

Just calling it like I see it x 4

It doesn't matter anymore
The fuel splatters...spitting anti-matter x 3

Today it'll all be gone x 4

Over
We laid you lower

Breathe, the waves I have in my hands x 2

Over
We laid you lower

When I awake in your battlefield
Peel the casing away
The atoms melt your steel.
When I awake in your battlefield
Aircraft grade...vaporize your ass away.

Just calling it like I see it x 4
Today it'll all be gone x 4

(In Between)
You exit my haze
I haven’t slept in days, I haven’t slept in days

I ruin your dreams
And the in betweens…and the in betweens…and the in betweens

Charge me for your loss
You’re begging me, when you’re the boss

The way you manipulate me…makes me (sick)
Woman, I’m walking away, away
Repeat x3

I ruin your dreams
And the in betweens…and the in betweens…and the in betweens

I bet you bargained for more
I was your little whore…you were my little whore

Not as devastated as you think x4

Found partially deaf, from your whines, there’s nothing left

I’m not as devastated as you think x4
back to top

(The Way)
Thought you would forgive me
Or you would try
If you're in my service...dry your eyes
You called me ruined...big surprise
Just shut your eyes...shut your eyes
Cancelled weekends, worked all night
The way you ask me you make me lie
You called me ruined...big surprise
You make me lie...you make me lie
Salted weakness, peppered pride
When you have me, flush my eyes

Cancelled weekends, worked all night
The way you ask me you make me lie
You called me ruined...big surprise
You make me lie...you make me lie

Don't think I can put back what I have taken x 4
Shut your eyes...you called me ruined x 2
Don't think I can put back what I have taken x 4

Thought you would forgive me
Or you would try
If you're in my service...dry your eyes
You called me ruined...big surprise
Just shut your eyes...shut your eyes
back to top

(Spoils)
Just act how you're trained
And all you guys are the same
And I won't even try
And you won't even know why

I've got a plan that'll spring us all
Just wait...maybe I'll be tall this time?
Could I get mine?
Should I continue to whine?

Chorus:
You want to eat?
Can't you see we're hungry?
Feed them off of me

Repeat

Repeat Chorus

In the perfect light
All I see is white
Bring us all your fame
And we'll eat it just the same
We're attracting flies with our perfect lives
We're attracting flies
Not feasting on your mold
And all we see is old
Just bring us all your shame
We'll eat it just the same
We're attracting flies with our perfect lives
We're attracting flies
Just enjoy me
Just enjoy me...enjoy your spoils

ISOSCELES
(Puncher's Chance)
And you insult my mind
And invest in me calling on you
But I’m not going to

And I just can’t decide
Between you and taking their side
Imagine the poignancy

The pride that you swallow
The fog that you wallow in
Pleases me
It’s part of my infancy

Sometimes I am blind
Sometimes I am blind to your faults
And my wounds need salt

Sometimes I am deaf
Sometimes I have nothing left for you
And I’m not going to

The pride that you swallow
The filth that you wallow in
Pleases me

If you’re saying there’s a chance
I will try try try
If you’re saying there’s a chance

I’m the fetal position opposition
Your bootstraps have been pulled into position
I must reevaluate my place riding shotgun on this mission

And I just can’t decide
Between you and taking their side
Imagine the poignancy

If you’re saying there’s a chance
If you’re saying there’s a chance
I will try...Try...try

I’m the fetal position opposition
Your bootstraps have been pulled into position
I must reevaluate my place riding shotgun on this mission

(Rebuilding Year)
It never meant much to you
Well I’m here and I’m through
You heard it from the source
And you ignore me…of course

You didn’t see what I saw
You didn’t have what I lost
You didn’t pay what it cost
I think you owe me.

All your negative energy
Never did very much for me
You heard it from the source
And you ignore me…of course

You didn’t see what I saw
You didn’t have what I lost
You didn’t pay what it cost
I think you owe me.

All along…you took me for the strong one
But I’ve been weakened by your apathy
You took me for the strong one
But I’ve been weak

But I’ve been weakened by the years
You took me for the damaged one
But I’ve been rebuilt by the same guilt
You took me for the damaged one
But I’ve been rebuilt

I don’t think that I can resuscitate you x 2

The problem with you is that I’m in the equation
The problem with me is that you’re in the equation

Miles to run..to undo battles that you’ve won
Well I was waiting for some growth
While unwrapping yards of rope
While I was rebuilt

I don’t think that I can resuscitate you x 4

(Yin vs. Yang)
You think you’re smarter but you’re not
You’re scared and you wanted what you got
You think you’ve figured out a lot
Why am I wonderful (horrible) this time?

You think you’ve read up on the truth
I thought I could medicate your moods
Teach me how should I sleep at night
Tell me how would you make it right

You’re damn right you’ll find me defiant
Keeps me in line (protecting mine)

I’m thinking of my son
The setting is on stun
Don’t care what the hell you’ve done

No hurt is intended, all metaphors are blended
You saying I’m defensive?

I’m bluer than the sky...I think we all know why
My bed…I choose to lie

I’m thinking of my son
The setting is on stun
Don’t care what the hell you’ve done

I’m tired of leaving…I’m tired of weaving
I’m gonna drink in all your air…and stop and stare
Absorb all the ozone…calling up your phone
I think I’m making this the end, nothing to defend
