Blame Game
03:01

In teams of friends, some take offense
But refuse taking timeouts or the bench
They challenge their own and attack in defense
But those callous blame games, I no longer accept
So whose team is it if you’re the only one to play?
I guess you’re the winner and the loser of your own game
Sabotaging your own mates
When they go for a goal you can’t make
You always got a kick out of foul play
Boundaries never stood in your way
So whose team is it if you’re the only one to play?
I guess you’re the winner and the loser of your own game
Playing a player and referee
Always had a card up your sleeve
First flagged, but throwing penalties
The oxy and moron of contradictory
So whose team is it if you’re the only one to play?
I guess you’re the winner and the loser of your own game
Trying to even some made up score
Missing the point just like before
Attempting to turn your game into a war
But no one will let you take shots anymore

Faux / Foe Peter Pan
02:47

Like the ticking clock
It’s a frickin croc
Chasing us from the dock
To the final plank walk
I trusted he’d lead me where dreams are born, and time is never planned
He said “1 girl is more use than 20 boys in Neverland”
You’ll never land
Where you want again
On their command
In Neverland
Never land
Lost boys will play follow the leader as long as they can
Never finding their own direction, never growing into their own men
You’ll never land
Where you want again
On their command
In Neverland
Never land
That lost boy lost me when I found myself more useful unmanned
I knew I’d grow for the better letting go of that faux/foe Peter Pan
The moment you doubt whether you can
You cease forever to be able to do it again
And I finally grew to understand
He believes he can’t fly without another’s hand
No longer that naive kid
I grew up and out of it

Noble Rot

When their words are through the grape vine
Don't pick the first ones that you find
They may ferment in your mind
With a bitter after taste that never subsides
Don’t let every word spread through the grapevine
Handle the rotten ones just right
Try to cut them off at the source before it’s too ripe
Damaging ones can infest the rest like a fungi
In a grey area; noble rot is a sweet compromise
Concentrate on salvaging what you decide is worthwhile
Don’t let every word spread through the grapevine
Handle the rotten ones just right
They can be crushing in some time
Once you decide what to keep from the grapevine
It’s your choice if you bottle it up inside
And that’s when you let it ferment in your mind
Don’t let every word spread through the grapevine
Handle the rotten ones just right
When you know the timing is right
Open up & let it breathe like fine wine
Tastefully pour your heart out to whomever you’d like
Sharing can make it taste even more divine
But don’t worry about taking your time
Patience is a key ingredient in life
Patience is a key ingredient in life
Patience is a key ingredient in life
