Flightless/Fast Lane

Floods all gone got a cherry on the cake
Everyone left except the butcher & the rake
Wish it didn’t fall to the ground
I’m living in my house safe & sound
Swinging all around on the pendulum
Wash it all down with a keg of rum
I guess it wasn't meant to be
I guess it wasn't meant to be
I guess it wasn't meant to be
I guess it wasn't meant to be
Flightless that’s my name
I got it all held down nothing's staying the same
Write it down click record that sounds insane
That’s life I live up in the fast lane
Flightless that’s my name
I got it all held down nothing's staying the same
Write it down click record that sounds insane
That’s life I live up in the fast lane
Floods calmed down just picture to erase
Songs about done need a texture & a bass
Everything you liked you did it before
Everything you made you made it before
Need a volunteer whoever’s next come on up
Flightless that’s my name
I got it all held down nothings staying the same
Write it down click record that sounds insane
That’s life I live up in the fast lane
Flightless that’s my name
I got it all held down nothings staying the same
Write it down click record that sounds insane
That’s life I live up in the fast lane
I guess it wasn't meant to be
I guess it wasn't meant to be
I guess it wasn't meant to be
I guess it wasn't meant to be

Heated Black Top
02:25

(The last thing any drummer is gonna do is trade out his drum set for a like a macintosh...it's not gonna happen)
Depressive perspective
Fallen on the black top
Now I've got the time to think
Time to pull the fuckin' plug
Something in your eye it makes it hard to see
The bigger fuller picture guess it wasn't meant to be
Pull the mental drain leave you like a dead corpse
Pull you through the black hole watch you body fuckin' warp
You need to think before you speak
The future feeling all so bleak
Walk the wooden floor it creaks
Falling mentally asleep
Leave you on the floor like a fallen piece of meat
I'm going off the fuckin' rails so you can meet a piece of me
Fallen piece of me on the heated black top
Paint a mental picture fire burning in the backdrop
Listening to Guttermouth wasting the day
Looking out a little window seeing nothing but grey
Soul wrecked but I'm doing just fine
Voyaged through the dark sea
I guess it's in my bloodline
I Need a co-sign another name on the sheet
Swirling around like a tire struggling on loose sleet
Gotta keep it cool I gotta keep it fresh
Yeah I got some things say I thought I'd get it off my chest
I need a time warp I'm 21 years old
Time moves quick I lost touch with the goal
You need to think before you speak
The future feeling all so bleak
Walk the wooden floor it creaks
Falling mentally asleep
Opera to seize the day
Mold it life like out of clay
Running low on ocean spray
Clearest clearway on display
Get aroused by your dismay
Blame it all on fouler play
Live in this facade
Fallen piece of me on the heated black top
Paint a mental picture fire burning in the backdrop
Listening to Guttermouth wasting the day
Looking out a little window seeing nothing but grey

When I Was Younger
02:45

Wake up feeling so damn depressed
& then I'd go on back to sleep still feeling depressed
& then I'd dream about life that was so far gone
Open up the front door get up off my front lawn
& back then I was so different I was living so thin
I'd gotten used to everything living the life I was in
& thank god it all changed & now I'm feeling so bliss
What I say is sincere there's not a thing that I miss
Now you know how I was feeling all the time
Bad times had me feeling no sublime
Thinking about bad thoughts all the time
I wish I wasn't though
Old man had taken over my mind
I had to get back to it costing more than a dime
I used sit alone & think bad thoughts all the time
I wish I didn't though
Life is so meaningless
Life is so Bad
& I can't do nothing...
I can't believe I used to think like that
Gettin rid of bad luck by running over a cat
I'm seeing double seeing triple isn't that fuckin' weird
Put my energy to better things like growing my beard
& everything is alright for me
I got my family & my homies & maybe one day you'll see
The way I think nowadays you might think it's a joke
See you sinking in your feelings while I'm perfectly afloat
See you sinking in your feelings while I'm perfectly afloat
See you sinking in your feeling while I'm perfectly afloat
Now you know how I was feeling all the time
Bad times had me feeling no sublime
Thinking about bad thoughts all the time
I wish I wasn't though
Old man had taken over my mind
I had to get back to it costing more than a dime
I used sit alone & think bad thoughts all the time
I wish I didn't though

I’m the tax man knocking down your door
Not leaving here until I get what I came for
I could tell what I want but where’s the fun in that
Let me show you a little trick pull a bill up out my hat yeah
Better pay it real soon
Or I’ll come back knocking in a pristine suit
Work for your money but you still got none

Gonna fuck your face up & make you see the light (Light!)
Gonna hang out with my friends we’re fucking up the night (The Night!)
Gonna fuck your face up & make you see the light (Yeah!)
Look at my phone see one notification
I'm not dealing with that! I’m on a vacation
Hanging out with my friends
Listening to the bends
What could go wrong man I’m on a vacation
Let me tell you what could go wrong
You could die off in a fire by the end of this song
Cut your hands red fall off a cliff
Fall to your death in an endless pit yeah
Is that good enough? do you want more?
Do you want more reasons just to feel forlorn?
I could say a ton but it won’t do nothing
Wait one sec let me tell ya a lil something
Knocking all these doors down to claim a single prize
Little do you know it but I’m here until you die
Singing these little songs don’t worry they’re not long
Knocking all these doors down to claim a single prize yeah

Fallen off I can’t see the peak
Is it anger or is it bliss that you seek
I can’t tell if you're a joke
The grin on your face makes you look like a bloke
Part the sea & pick your side
No one else around that makes you run & hide
You talk shit you get what you get
It wasn’t me who put the plain scene into set
I can’t see my my eyes are assist
All this anger got my balling my fist
You can’t talk so you can’t say nothing
100 motherfuckers all around me bluffin'
Say my piece it stays the same
All these issues but no one to blame
I’m getting tired of this stupid shit
You’re mixture of a child & a stupid bitch
Just say what you gotta fuckin' say
I got bunch of fuckin' enemies so pick your case
& everything is going off the fuckin' rails
I don’t care about your life don’t give me fuckin' details
Just say what you gotta fuckin' say
I got bunch of fuckin' enemies so pick your case
& everything is going off the fuckin' rails
I don’t care about your life don’t give me fuckin' details
Used to have friends now I feel more defined
Wonder how they’re doing are they fun or they the simple kind?
The world is so easy to see
Everything that’s going on yeah it’s all on my feed
Guessing game is a myth
Either you know you didn’t or you know that you did
You play games you never win
All with a vile sane toothy grin
Wish I could go back to back
Hit a snare drum hear a little clackty clack
I’m not so fine living in the sack
Mental illness darkness fuckin' life hack
Wish I could go back to back
Hit a snare drum hear a little clackty clack
I’m not so fine living in the sack
Mental illness darkness fuckin' life hack
Just say what you gotta fuckin' say
I got bunch of fuckin' enemies so pick your case
& everything is going off the fuckin' rails
I don’t care about your life don’t give me fuckin' details
Just say what you gotta fuckin' say
I got bunch of fuckin' enemies so pick your case
& everything is going off the fuckin' rails
I don’t care about your life don’t give me fuckin' details

Hair Dye
02:48

Dye my hair now it’s drippin' in my eye
Wear a trench coat once & now you're calling me a spy
Call me once & then you call me twice
I’m not picking up that phone it’s nice
Not talking to you for that matter
I don’t have time for pointless chit chatter
Busy hanging out by myself
Don’t like it hmm put it on the shelf
Don’t see me don’t know me
The time is vast & i'm a dipshit phony
Put me down while your ego lasts
& I’ll pull you up with the spell you cast
More time more life more shit
To put up with its real fun isn’t it
We all gotta do it so get it done
Life’s not a sitcom no fucking reruns
Dying my hair again it’s looking alright
I think it’s gonna be fine again
Now I’m just looking in the mirror saying fuck it I might
Just rinse this shit out & do it again
I can’t decide
4/4 really got something to it
I got some more while you got me through it
Put me down through time again
Who what why & the other oh when
Stop waiting for the right time to come
You’ll live your life with some regret then some
Pointless shit will come up that’s why
I took advantage of my age & time
Did more now I’m looking from above
I got more reasons I got more love
Talk to you from time to time
There’s a reason for that not telling it’s a crime
Because I don’t really wanna upset
The people in question piling the debt
Student loans that’s a mutha fuckin' scam
Do you man finish with a grandslam
Do you man finish with a grandslam
Do school get a job I don’t really know
Figure it out.
Dying my hair again it’s looking alright
I think it’s gonna be fine again
Now I’m just looking in the mirror saying fuck it I might
Just rinse this shit out & do it again
I can’t decide

Ah, you made it to the end
I hope you enjoyed yourself
With the state of the world being how it is
It get's harder to just enjoy the simple things
Like checking in with a friend
Spending time with a loved one
Or listening to some great tunes
Well...I guess that just about wraps this up huh
See you later my friends

Merci Déhà for the download code. Lots of bands use these ingredients – pretty female vocals over doomy guitars always sounds good, but usually that's where the ideas run out. That isn't the case here. Each song is packed with ideas and evolutions, genres and references it's boring to list but not at all to listen to. A pleasure to have been introduced to this.

A solarpunk concept album set in the not-too-distant tomorrow, Tom John Hall uses elegantly wrought art rock to tell a winding tale.
