What Kind of Man Are You

I’m a man of ambition - What kind of man are you?
One of us is in transition - With so much more to live up to
Not hard to figure out - You’ve got your share of doubt - Not much to fret about
Act like a man now - Don’t talk so loud
You’ve been around - Working the crowd
We are men holding position - Someone here’s cutting into the queue
Some of us are on a mission - Still waiting to find our groove
Let’s get it figured out - Then shake this nagging doubt - Too much to think about
Act like a man now - Don’t talk so loud
You’ve been around - Working the crowd
I’m the man that needs to feel proud
You’re the man that needs to be taken down
Act like a man now - Don’t talk so loud
You’ve been around - Working the crowd
Act like a man now - Throw that weight around

Created a Monster

I feel like I can’t go wrong
My senses burn so strong
You better move on, before I take you along
You better not look at me wrong
’Cause all my dignities gone
Lest I take you along, you better shuffle along
They created a monster tonight, that will fight
These sensations in me will ignite, tonight
Something went wrong…
You put a gun in an evil hand
You give a pen to an angry man
You’ll reap what you sow - And they'll never let go
They act like their circuits have failed
They feel like society bailed
They never move on - And all the empathies gone
They created a monster tonight, that will fight
These sensations in me will ignite, tonight
Something inside is twisted too tight - They’ll break when they’re alone
Nothing outside is making much sense - It’s too late to pick up the phone
They created a monster tonight, I’m wrapped too tight
And these sensations in me will ignite, but that’s all right
They created this monster tonight, that wants a fight
Someone here will soon pay the price, tonight, tonight

Can't Find Myself

Well come to the mirror boy - Look me in the eye
Stare at the mirror boy - Look yourself in the eye
Can you find yourself and get behind yourself?
Do you recognize yourself anymore?
Go look yourself over boy - Look inside those eyes
You’re not the same man you were - Something’s changed inside
Can you find yourself and get behind yourself ?
Recognize yourself anymore?
Well make yourself over boy - Work that charm a little more
Make yourself over boy - Work that charm just a little more
Go reflect in that mirror boy - Show what’s hidden inside
They cast a spell on you boy - Do you know that person inside?
Start to find yourself, go look inside yourself
Do you like what you see at the core?
Well make yourself over boy - Work that charm a little more
Make yourself over boy - Work that charm just a little more
Go make yourself over boy - Work that charm a little more
Go make yourself over boy - And go work that charm just a little more

Patience

Got a hole in this heart for sure
This place don’t feel secure anymore
I was looking around for what didn’t get burned
All the memories freshly stirred
All the context just gets blurred
I just don’t feel so sure anymore
I can’t stay like this anymore
I need more patience - I need more time
There’s a feeling of loss churning inside
I’ll need a little more patience
I need a better way to get by
Time moves too slowly to get by
There’s a heart that skips a beat for sure
Loneliness here has been underscored
Been looking around for some kind of cure
All my feelings won’t be deferred
There’s a focus that seems to be blurred
The longer it stays I feel less assured
I can’t stay like this anymore
I need more patience - I need more time
There’s a feeling of loss churning inside
I’ll need a little more patience
I need a new way to shine
Time moves too slow to get by
Soon you’ll realize, there’s no way you’re saying goodbye
Soon you’re gonna' realize, you’ve worn away that perfect disguise
I need more patience - I need more time
There’s a feeling of loss churning inside
I need a little more patience
I need a way out to shine
Time moves too slowly for me to get by

California Was My Remedy

Headed West, left behind allies and enemies
Went to a place where they crush your ills with prosperity
California was my remedy - Sick as I was before, she gave me vitality
And I hear them laugh, like they won some sort of victory
I’ll stand my ground - Push around this fantasy
This place I now call home has a certain vanity
Some criticize the style we threw/throw at humanity
California was my remedy - And sick as I was before, I’m healing gradually
Seem to laugh a lot, left behind those traps that troubled me
I stood my ground - Gave into these fantasies
It’s a mystery - That’s ahead of me…
Some may try to wrap you in their apathy
They can deride this place - But they can’t deny there’s mystery
California was my remedy - Sick as I was before, I’ve got vitality
Hear them laugh, like they won some sort of victory
I stand my ground - Push around this fantasy
I hear them laugh, like they won some sort of victory
I stood my ground - Pushed around this fantasy
It’s a mystery - Everything that’s ahead of me

The setting’s changed in this lifeless town
Where I left my past, and some old know how
Something’s missing, as I make my way around
Once this was home - My mind had to roam - Memories tucked away
Once this was home - My future unknown - So I went astray
I found my way back through these copper skies
All the storefronts changed, should I be surprised that something’s missing?
As I feel my way around
Once this was home - My mind had to roam - Memories tucked away
Once this was home - My future unknown - So I went astray
Then I walked away
Pulled away
Make me stay - Or I'll walk away
Hope gave in to this hard-luck town
Don’t want to chase old ghosts that may bring me down
Faces missing - There’s no need to stay around
Once this was home - My mind had to roam - Memories tucked away
Once this was home - My future unknown - So I went astray
Once this was home - My mind had to roam - Memories tucked away
Once this was home - My future unknown - So I went astray
Walked away...
