Phunc Song
The words don’t always come easy
They keep me up every night
Scratching and tearing at
The walls inside my mind
To give you something new
To give you what you deserve
To play the perfect chord
To sing a better verse
Chorus
I’m gonna play till my fingers melt away
Till my bones are tired till im old and gray
This beat is in my soul and you can’t take that away
So i’m gonna play till my dying day
I love this more than life itself
Its all i ever wanted to do
I wouldn't trade a second
living in these shoes
I write down every feeling
And empty my soul on stage
So if you ask me always
I got one more to play

Our Story

Our Story
Working countless hours
And long into the night
Writing songs and practicing away
All of your free time
You stay up late chasing a dream
But you know that nothing ever
Well nothing ever came for free
This is our story
We write it our own way
This is our story
Let's turn another page
This is our story
We know it's in bad taste
This is our story
And we won't ever
Change no we won't ever change
These are my best days so far
And I know when I'm singing
I'm singing from my heart
It's a dream come true
Making music with my friends
And when we leave a show
You know we'll be back again
Good times and bad times
Well they always come ourway
But you got my back and I got yours
So things are gonna be ok
And everything I've said so far is kinda lame
But fuck it go

Eat Em Up

Eat em up
Gather round gather round
Everybody listen to the old pig
Sing along sing along
Everybody listen to Napoleon
Take out sheers and leave them nothing
We're all equal but some have gluttony
Sing along sing along sing along
Sheppard heards his sheep to the reaper as they sleep
And all the while you can't do a thing
Cannibals feast on the people who can't speak
And you can't do a god damn thing x2
Are you scared are you scared for yourself
Or the people you leave behind
Are scared of the gun are scared of the knife
Are scared of the box are you scared of the fire
Well if your not then your gonna be
So tell me tell me tell me
Are you scared are you scared are you scared
Eat em up eat em up
Take until they got nothing left to take
Go on tear em limb from limb
All the way down to the bone
I'm glad you had your seconds
I'm sure your glad of all your blessings
Eat em up eat em up eat em up

Lullaby

Lullaby
Judy's a single mother
With two kids to feed
She works day in and day out
To give em what they need
She's up at five am
strapping shoes on their feet
Sees em out the door
and walks on down the street
Hops on a bus to job number 1
She knows it's a long time before the day is done
She doesn't know when this pace will end
She's only doing the best she can
Your never gonna find a way out
The American broken and tumbling down
So sing your lullabies and hear underground
We won't ever find a way out
Judy works her first job
From 830 to 5
Then she waits those tables
Late into the night
Grabs a bus back home
Collapses on her bed
Wakes up in the morning
Starts it all over again
And hurts her so bad
When her kids are sick in bed
Cuz she can't take a day off
To take care of them
She doesn't know when this pace will end
She's only doing the best she can.

Trigger

Trigger
The trigger was spoken
emotions now broken
Running and hiding to your safe zone
Drama the burden
but some have out worn it
So fragile and tender
So don't cross their zone
PC sensitivity watch what you say
PC negativity your all to blame
PC sensitivity watch what you say
PC humility it brings you to shame
Drama free language
upholds your oppression
Controlling and scolding
Your use of words
How can you endure
The lines are obscured
So walking on glass
You dive into the past

This Is My Home

This is my home
These days I can't shake the feeling
While some has been done progression is fleeting
While a mob mentality triumphs
Over ideas that have no meaning
This isn't about Democrats or Republicans
It's about Americans with no goddamn sense
Political parties with no fuvking plan
Taking me down roads that only have dead ends
Oh and I know
This is my home
And it hurts
Down to the bone
And it feels
So cold
And I hate
That I feel alone
But this is my home
We call each other deplorables and elietests
When we're all just minimum wage minimalists
Creating division from nothing
And the media runs it till it's something
We embrace the lies like we've known em our whole lives
And the walls that we put up strengthen the divide
And the fat cats they won't et us rise
No they won't let us rise

Wiltern
An Army of Ancients at my ear
but Razorblade is all I hear
Opaque blue sings me Laments
Popular Manipulations screams out Violet
Every Minute Every Hour
I want to hear that Black Rose flower
Two-Headed Boy will March Into the Sea
Look alive look alive look alive not now don’t bother me
A Wasted Year comes to a close
Just then Kind of Like Spitting will begin to Share the Road
Sense and Sensibility catch my mind a fire
That pretty girl with broken wings is all that he desires
Every Minute Every Hour
I want to hear that Black Rose flower
Two-Headed Boy will March Into the Sea
Look alive look alive look alive not now don’t bother me
Where’d All the Time Go?
I spent it listening to the Ize of the World
Ain’t it Strange how its so Hard to Explain
That even though they’ve changed lanes
I still I still feel the same way down inside
Way down inside
Because Fuck You That’s Why
I want us in the Limelight
Just like we were Last Nite
Every Minute Every Hour
I want to hear that Black Rose flower
Two-Headed Boy will March Into the Sea
Look alive look alive look alive not now don’t bother me

As long as she still plays
She grew up with screaming in her ears
And all her parents fights fed her fears
She'd put on her head phones
And hide away
Idolizing words that the stars would sing
She sat up all night prayed and prayed
To be just like them one day
With a gutter trash guitar and some worn out strings
The song bird picked it up and she started to sing
This life is unfair and such a mess
And all this inequality gives me no rest
And even though I never want to stay in this place
It'll be ok as long as I still play
Hate anger and mostly fear
Is what brought us here
And though I want the world change
It'll be ok
As long as I still play
Now the song bird was singing on the streets
Trying to show off her brand new wings
People would stop and listen to her songs
And sometimes they'd even sing along
Until one day she collapsed
An old wound from her parents spats
The song bird passed away that day
And this is the last thing I heard her sing

Let It Rain
I take one look around and things aren't looking good
Everybody’s always angry being told what they should
Do and not do to fit inside the mold.
And with everybody fighting things are looking grim
World powers always clawing while we fight our fellow man
And this world is gonna burn if we don’t learn to choose
Chorus
So please let it rain
This world is burning we’re all going up in flames
So light this fucker up this place is gonna crack
Set up all your pieces for the final act
I take one look around and things aren't what they seem
A nation divided between war and prosperity
Some choke on their wealth while others struggle to eat
Someday this divide will grow and there's no looking back
We’ll be pushed into a corner and the people will have to act
And the fires will keep rising till there's nothing left

Lives Gone Bad
04:39
|

Lives gone bad
Sadistic attitude and violent mentality
Shoved into a skirt made for free
She sat on a sidewalk looking at her feet
Wondering what she is gonna
How did I get here chasing a dream
Of not being kicked around until I bleed
No one heard the cries from that young girl
Who really only wanted to be free
These are stories of lives gone bad
No they don't get better they only get more sad
And if you want a song to sing happily
Go turn on your radio or TV
Cuz this song is for me
So I can get some sleep
Cody was a friend of mine of only 23
He was out of the army contract free
Till one night he got far too drunk
The bullet in his gun he let it free
His friend was dead limp and dry
And now the only thing he does is time
And Cody I don't know if I'll ever see you again
But I'll always remember the man you could've been

This Is The End (TBD)
If you want come and get it
We got the shit to feed your fix
You got a question, well here's the answer
Six feet under the ground thats what Im after
Well you better push boy till it gets hard to breath
And all the work leaves you an empty husk of meat
So light em up raise em high
Scream it out let it pierce the night
Chorus
Gears keep spinning all around I’m wired up can’t hit the ground
Legs keep moving all day long trust your instincts it they won’t be wrong
Life keeps going by and time is getting thin
No matter what happens this is not the end
I do what I want this is all I know
I would do it for a thousand years or more
Times are changing and life is draining
And i'm rotting with chains dangling
I love it her in my personal cell
Im perfectly comfortable staying in this hell
So light em up raise em high
Let your scream it out let it pierce the night

Who's Gonna Pay

Who’s Gonna Pay
Choices that we make are adding up
Resources that we take are never enough
Continue to consume at a faster rate
Convince yourself that everything they say is fake
Chorus
So, Pay for meaning
Mindless breeding
Enjoy all the lies of a crumbling economy
Give them what they need so you can breath
Headed into communities shoulder to shoulder
Mass produce the meat to feed the culture
Confidence in the system shattered to pieces
Human beings are an invasive species
Bridge
And we are all the same
Tell your lies you never change
And we are all the same
Point the finger when your to blame x2
Finale
Cost is rising
Times expiring
One last chance to turn this all around
Or watch it all burn into the ground
So whos gonna pay
Whos gonna pay
Whos gonna pay
