Finster Sown

Met Ryan at the label place
Said he could fill that space
The roomy wanted nothing
But generic drums and cover songs
So went our separate ways
A journey to a common place
To Estacada, then to Boring to Jam with uncle Don
Embarking in the anger building seeds are laying Finster born in time
Paid to bring William on
From Longview, Texas he did come
All the way to Oregon on a Gray Hound bus
Said he could play the bass
Uncle Don he did replace
The fact that he had nearer tastes was certainly a plus
All the pieces are now in place for the journey to begin

Douche Bag Moments
02:39

I’ve just come to this plain fact
My voice is bad for this hard sound
Because this I know through time
In the mix it should be drowned
Got to find another to sing but fire goes out so fast
In the end we all agree, we will make no changes
A couple douche bags came and proved
Singers are a special kind
I guess I’ll try to fill the groove
Swallowing my fragile pride
Magic moments like a fart in the wind
Shall dissipate so fast
In the end we all agree, we will make no changes

Awaken to a different round
Keyboards add another sound
Valerie has joined the band
As a four piece now we stand
Right before our eyes will hide
Unstable ground of fragile pride
Recalling days with silent fights
Hide from evil, scared of…
Hasten to a distant star
Like my lyrics subpar
Lazy writing, boring songs
Nothing right from two wrongs
Blind are my eyes at this time
Asleep I am to rankled minds
With 20/20 hindsight
I’ve lived I’ve learned, to find

Watchful This Guy

Witness this guy
His name is Ryan
We only play
What Ryan likes
I’m half to blame
I freely admit
Most of this time
I’m writing shit
We all know this guy
He knows he’s right
We only play
What this guy likes
Frustration seeps
And looking back
I hear I reap
The songs all lack
Basking in the buffer zone
5000 days away

Some Senses
08:16

The Cd released
Recorded lame
Sounded like shit
Who is to blame?
Maybe myself
I do not know
Maybe this guy
It might be so
All senses lie
On which relied
Mediocre
Next Season tried
Another wreck
A thousand pressed
I cringe at thought
Ever depressed
Unopened box
Still mocks the goal
In my garage
It never sold
To hear this sound
My soul is wrecked
Next Season was a piece of dreck
No drudged up pain or Finster cry
Will penetrate my ears tonight
All senses reel
From nerves of steel
The tears I shed you cannot feel

Write in Plain Sight
06:03
|

Welcome to the unmade road
A vision stilted in time
I drag down this ugly road
To find that I’m not mine
Always feel on display
Whether off or on the stage
I need to hold it near me closer
Or compromise my integrity
Hide my songs and guard them better
For the road is lined with scrutiny
Now I, no matter what I write
For Ryan, they won’t see the light
And the ones that do
Sound bad when we’re through
Realize too late
Can’t reverse manipulate

To Lose Grace
06:31
|
|||
|
Nights
Alone
Stage
Seek
An end
Feel the end
A lapse of life
And begin to doubt
Real minds
Begin to shout
Rage
In siege
Dead
The need
Fake
Lame
Hate
The same

There is naught that I can say
To erase how you behave
On and on you quit the band
Time to leave or take a stand
We won’t gain from making you
Stick around until we’re through
So I forget and forgive bad times
All in all, it was alright
Alright
Over for me now
Can’t stay here anymore
I see a future beyond hazy turmoil
What was there for me
I’ll find in pastures green
Eternity it seems lasts only until need
I hide in the face of rage
And cry for the wasted days
I hide from the masses call
And writhe in my own refrain
Will and I shall find
Someone else and then refine
Paranaut will rise from empty freefall
Fruitful days await us now
Many years of fertile ground
Unless Kenny sells my shit I’ll always be around
I stare in the face of fate
Trying to not ever look away
Never hiding from the future’s call
Dim, dingy, and ungodly days
