Track Name: Transition + Resistance
Written by Christopher Goett
(Undercast Music/SESAC)

woke up to gun shots outside my front door
dark blue sedan with the pedal to the god damn floor
sirens wailing and blaring closer this way

jimmy my window and flathead my steering column
steal my auto and joyride twelve blocks away
officer at the front arrivin' at the scene of the crime

well we hope to see this change subside
you're forced to get by, by means illegal and otherwise
understand your m.o. but man we can't condone harm to another

transition and resistance (myopic decisions)
transition and resistance (the youth are blistered)
transition and resistance (the youth are blistered)

you can't stop the market forces. only hope is to contain them
Track Name: Luminance (We Don't Dance)
Written by Christopher Goett
(Undercast Music/SESAC)

dense moisture envelops the summer air
once a time of drunken stumbles across campus courtyards and down dormitory stairs
careless memories, carefree attractions
yes, we all seek to find some kind of traction

we don't dance without consequence
we don't allow spontaneous exuberance

to become one with the artery or is this just a concrete vein?
a road that glows in the rearview
a visible, yet intangible energy seeps through this perforated scene

we don't dance without consequence
we don't allow for spontaneous exuberance

this duality suspends reality

the nocturnal and diurnal minds
yes they try to coincide
but they are wont to collide
the nocturnal and diurnal minds
tumulutous inside
seeking resolve for luminance
resolve for luminance
Track Name: Enraged
Written by Steven Rubin
(Rip The Knob Off Music/SESAC)

teens in limousines
big wig's child's just wild enough to be queen of the scene
news and magazines
tell me when it's bad enough, is it good enough for me?

now that i'm enraged, never to return it's all illusion anyway

adult drama queens
constantly complain all day and rain on my parade
hip stars and their cars
fascinated and agitated with paparazzi scars

now that i'm enraged, never to return it's all illusion anyway

plastic junkie dreams
the weakness is a sickness trying to get yourself clean
makes you want to scream or pop a pill, relax and chill
your mind and soul are weak

now that i'm enraged, never to return it's all illusion anyway
Track Name: Sleepwalking
Written by Christopher Goett
(Undercast Music/SESAC)

weary citizens hustle the pavement
and i cannot spare a solitary dime
shooting songbirds with barreled shotguns
unleash the murder to summon some truth

demarcations of death and achievement
in prominent places up on high
hey thanks for asking i'm doing just "fine."
another smile and nod to perpetuate that lie

where's the sound of protest drums?
voices inside have gone numb

on pins and needles, the mental status quo
we drop the social hammer upon the ones that stand up
we drop the social hammer upon the ones that stand up
we need and succeed with unbridled uniformity

where's the sound of protest drums?
voices inside have gone numb

sleepwalking. it's exhausting me
Track Name: (Twisted) Dolly (Voices)
Written by Steven Rubin
(Rip The Knob Off Music/SESAC)

so what if you're loaded?
the search lights' on the crowd
criminal minded
exodus out of town
look at your people stare at the wall
sit there and wonder which ones gonna fall?

it'll be you babe
it will always be you baby

look at your best friends
are you glad they're around?
will you sit by their bedsides?
turn those smiles to frowns?
by playing the blame game
it most certain is me
uncompromising
fulfilling your fantasies

mine will be you babe
they will always be you baby
all around you claim your down with this
but i tend to think your guessing is wrong baby
listen up as i present you your choices
clear your head or you will be fed
twisted dolly voices

medicated for leisure
people screaming in rhyme
trying to sell the concepts
about the denial of time
they ask the same questions
those have asked before you
it's a conflict of interest
believing your lies are true

they're true babe
they will always be true baby
all around you claim you're down with this
but i tend to think your guessing is wrong, baby
listen up as i present you your choices
clear your head or you will be fed
twisted dolly voices
Track Name: Shock to the System
Written by Steven Rubin
(Rip The Knob Off Music/SESAC)

this is a shock to the system
what you are hearing
what do i sound like?
what am i singing?
who do i look like?

can i break you down to the very elementary?
what are the chords?
can you bring it?
are you just another flake?

cause there was someone else before you
that did it better than you
an easy sing-a-long:
we all are fakes!

could you be more original?
is that asking so much?
cause i believe in throwing stones as long as they dont hit me

there was someone else before you
that did it better than you
an easy sing-a-long:
we all are fakes!

this is a shock to your system
what you are hearing
what do i sound like?
what am i singing?
who do i look like?
Track Name: Psychic Raygun
Written by Christopher Goett
(Undercast Music/SESAC)

i've got a psychic raygun
i set it to maximum stun

cold alien steel
knows how i feel

there's no need
there's no need
there's no need for thought

it will shoot itself
Track Name: Upstart
Written by Christopher Goett
(Undercast Music/SESAC)

there's no need to be an upstart
the government has your needs at heart
