lyrics

Going under the knife with a whiskey antiseptic
my surgeon's first try, and I'm feeling dyspeptic
but what do I got -
I know what i've got to lose

This game isn't kind and we need an advantage
a way to deny feelings we can't manage
the guilt that we can't itch
the shame that we'll banish to the far side of the moon

And people do terrible things they dare not to mention
terrible things with the best of intentions
beyond comprehension, we've all got a reason to die
People do terrible things when no one pays attention
terrible things to their own reprehension
How low can you go?
How long are you willing to carry a lie?

And keep waiting for the game to break
under the weight of the shame we've denied
waiting for the game to break
under all that guilt we've managed to hide
but the damage is done
next battle is won
if you can live with it

Now, politics ain't government and
government ain't leadership and
leadership ain't politics
the none are the same
it's just rock, paper, scissors going round and round in circles
winners eating losers in a zero sum game
and this shit isn't right
this shit isn't fair
it's always a fight
with the odds never square
but compared to staking out and dying in the cold
the game's the only thing gave us a chance to grow old

And our survival comes down to this choice they've made
and time is not on our side
the high road ain't open to everyone
may guilt overtake me, I swear through this unbroken smile

I'll keep waiting for the game to break
under the weight of the shame we've denied
waiting for the game to break
under all that guilt we've managed to hide
but the damage is done next battle is won
what are you willing to live with?

Countless Thousands image

Countless Thousands Glendale, California

Take a show choir reject who was never cool enough for punk rock, throw him a rockabilly axe and have him cash in on all the poetry classes. Take an east coast jazz legend and tell him to lay off the weirder chords and step up the distortion. Take a cosplay nerd and give him +2 Charisma, +5 Vocalwork and +5 Shreddage. Mix well and serve immediately for total badassery. ... more
