Made of Potential

Aimless and arrogant
Unsure of what's in store
I know that I'm above it all
The world should come to me
And lay down at my feet
I don't fear any consequence
Unsubstantiated
Fondness for myself
I've done nothing yet
Always hedging bets (Always edging back)
The universe owes me
Everything I want
I'm made of potential
Made of potential
Others are pushing me
Toward things that I don't need
I know I'm too unique for that
Can't I just chase my dreams
The pieces will all fit
And neatly fall into their place
I know I know it all
I'm walking history
I know I'll never fail
Its simply destiny

Don't you wanna take a trip with me
Feelin' blue tonight, Red Flag City, Red Flag City
It's only me and you this time around
Shut 'em out for life, Red Flag City, Red Flag City
We're going places no one ever goes
If its yours, it's mine, Red Flag City, Red Flag City
You're gonna miss your family and your friends
But I'm all you need, Red Flag City, Red Flag City
I'll crawl my way inside you
And take everything you knew
One way street signs, darkened skylines
And you'll get nothing returned
Just broken, blistered and burned
(Next time take heed, so you don't bleed)
I know you might be feeling kinda trapped
Rest assured, you're not, in this city, haunted city
Change your ways and don't look back tonight
Fight their fire with fire, in this city, shadow city
Dive further into my heart, we cannot be apart
Smoke fills your lungs, clouds your eyes, all hope remaining dies
Forgot the life you once had, try not to look so sad
Your future's brightest with me, don't ever try to flee
You remain unswayed by the constant let downs
I believe you'll stay despite what you have found
Dive further into my heart, we cannot be apart

Best Laid Plans

We enter this world with only instincts
Navigating with the guidance of those
Who are trying to survive the hurricane
Clinging to common ground and consciousness
We never knew what was round the corner
An ancient blueprint that has grown obsolete
So we take it, take it, take it to our fathers
Blame it, blame it, blame it on the prideful
Face it, face it, face it for our mothers
Chase it, chase it, chase it for the wrathful
We wait for our chance to arrive some day
Assaulting ceilings that we cannot break
We're stuck inside of what we kindly call
A serendipitous anti-disaster
We're running so fast, but not so far
A burden placed upon each generation
To live up to the standards of the last
The measure of success keeps moving further
With forefathers believing in the past
Imagined narratives
Determining our worth

You see the world in blue and green
I see everything in between
And when we meet it's never a scene
I like the life I choose to lead
And on most points we are agreed
It ain't like I am one to impede
But when you say that we are fine
Everything that happens is by design
It sends a feeling right up my spine
I cannot be here always
Looking back to make sure you are there
It wouldn't be right and it ain't fair
For me to just stay out of your hair
You never cease to amaze
Not saying it's pointless, just unnecessary
Not saying it's pointless, I'm not saying it's pointless
Not saying it's pointless, just unnecessary
Not saying it's pointless
I know you can survive alone
You have the smarts and the backbone
I'm pretty sure that you're fully grown
But sometimes you need to pull back
And get your life on the right track
But maybe I should cut you some slack
And I wanna believe that you'll do well
And this won't become your personal hell
You know I'll always be here for you
And maybe the whole concept is new
But to you I will always be true

Vanquished

The dam has burst as teardrops fall
You've been holding back so long
A needle sharpened point
Making scars like marks on wood
You're floating in the sea
Past panic and disgrace
You will not be reborn
After failure to fly
Too much to do, we're out of time
Ground into fine powder
And when we fall we're paralyzed
Just so defeated
It's been a long week, it's been a longer life
And all those sleepless nights
Wrap themselves around your legs
You're carrying the weight of your mind
Misleading shadows
Make you cower
You're fearful
Hour after hour
It makes you cower hour after hour

Wolf in Wolf's Clothing
03:15

You stay always sheltered from the rays of our days
Our air it chokes you, unable to breathe, we all knew
You'd fail to be there, criticizing all, our nightmare
You're a wolf in wolf's clothing
I can't keep from exploding
You're a wolf in wolf's clothing
Filled with selfish self loathing
You're a wolf in wolf's clothing
My good will is eroding
You're a wolf in wolf's clothing
And the end is approaching
Stay helpless because you cannot be reckless
You prey upon me hoping I won't leave, never free
You refuse solutions to problems that you created
You like complaining that you don't know why you're hated
I want to see the light
I want to find a way out
You're sure your grip is strong
You're never living in doubt
You're a wolf in wolf's clothing
A feeling of foreboding
You're a wolf in wolf's clothing
Your empire is decomposing
You're a wolf in wolf's clothing
Take comfort in not knowing
You're a wolf in wolf's clothing
That your window is closing
