you said so yourself [unreleased]
you said yourself you were against it. so why do i keep hearing stories? it's not the action i don't understand, it's disregard for your own principles. you want to watch yourself you're waiting, for opportunities to exploit. a noble deed is done to tell your friends, but things will change. unsupported words don't mean anything. you said so yourself.

the wrong way to hold a microphone [from os024]
when i couldn’t tell the difference, i knew that it was time to reconstruct my thoughts. blending in with your surroundings is not commendable, but knowing, that’s not much. but it all comes down to you. can you always be yourself? hoping ideas will come back, but you’ll never be the same. when pretending just won’t cut it and you can’t follow suit. the threat of being alone. ignorance is not a reason to disconnect yourself from what matters the most. helplessly aware. understand the truth. following support. shallow and confused.

trivial pursuit [from os024]
a useless guideline unfolds, but another choice won’t come to me. waiting for my standards to show, but when all is said and done, you are. but i’m always out of time, so nothing gets done. but it’s nothing i can’t change. i always seem to be behind, waiting for my moment. hope i don’t let it slip by, it might not come back. my total lack of respect will never stem from what you think. superiority’s not why rejection of beliefs occurs. maybe it’s all in my head, but it’s all around me. we’re all easy to convince, which has put us in a hole. everything’s been said before, but there’s no one listening. everyone’s stuck on themselves. support will never make you right, in fact, most times it makes you wrong. we’ve made life trivial pursuit. it’s your move.

rod pop [from os024]
insignificant talk doesn’t mean a thing. can you just say something that won’t punish me? actions without reason. empty rationale. useless thoughts polluting. can’t escape it all. can i run away? could this be the last time? do i need to be here? everything you say. i don’t see the humor. i would never miss it. sloppy indecision of what you need to say. rearrange your motives before they slip away. comforting yourself with hollow promises. wrong for the wrong reasons. is this all there is?

falling forward [from os024]
certainty is certain to be very rare. you put up your boundaries of what isn’t there. you wait for me to say what you already know. maybe you just need to hear it, but i don’t think so. peace of mind through anger that you don’t really feel. create complications to cover up what’s real. a common misconception seems to cling to you. maybe you just can’t accept it, but i don’ t think so. possible intentions of a different sort. create complications to hold down the fort. you made a conscious effort not to think things through. cause all that does is question what you thought was true. falling forward still counts as a step. when it’s me though, it’s not the same. reconsider what you’re standing for. keeping quiet is not that hard. why do you surrender your thoughts and emotions for limited surface acceptance? it’s easy to see what you’re going for. should i just be indifferent?

armchair general [from os022]
watching from afar, things are different from what they seem. expectations change i guess i failed to warn you. blame me for this one. it’s all my fault, i should have warned you. now it’s too late. and it’s nothing you did, things just weren’t the same. and, i didn’t change you thought i wish i had.

circus strongman [unreleased]
it just takes common sense, if there's such a thing. you can't use someone else to replay all that you want back. it all comes around, but you may be waiting. there may be some doubt of what you're really waiting for. flipping on your conscience as if it were a switch. pulling contradictions off with out a hitch. seems to me that there is something missing. if you were with your friends, what would you say? i have all that i need so it couldn't be so bad. i think i've blown my cover that's something i should hide. recovering from something that's not decided yet. i wonder who will notice... leaving out important details of how things came to be. everything you do affects me. break yourself of all connections to the outside world. it'd be nice if you were right. anyone could notice how you've changed. thinking what's important is you.

100 years of baseball [from mkr12]
what brought this on so sudden? i can hear myself think. words are watching over my conveyance. the rug’s been lifted. like a joke that’s gone too far, i can’t tell some things apart, and it’s all that i look out for. everything i do is dull. but that seems so trivial. everybody’s got their shell. you said that i could do whatever i want. but only if it’s on your list. problems come from all directions...solutions don’t. my problems all have become your concern. and i think that that’s a shame. broken fixtures seem to shine more brightly. who’s broken you? planning for a dead future, wasting every moment, digging for reassurance, wishing this is what you want.

dialogue (from a movie) [from mkr12]
bear with me, i beg you. i’m prone to change. bear with me, please. a new day, a new way for something done before. what if i said nothing’s what it seems? you’d shrug me off, ‘cause that’s not true. watch him, he knows more than you ever could. just look around, his face is everywhere. it’s not as easy as it seems to place the blame where it belongs. i can’t help thinking; if you changed your mind, would i still even care? honest thoughts become obstructions, and warped intentions drive us.
