Golden Aging (2018)

Recorded at Bedrock.LA in Los Angeles, CA

Bluff

I tremble

All over

Play it off like a sign of the times

My

Decision

Is final

No need for you to remind

My

Word we

Got to

Have to stay in the lines

My

Friend you

Can’t keep

Hiding and loving the quiet

My

God, I don’t wanna mess it up

But I gotta call your bluff

Gonna go all in

Hit me

Gonna go all in

Hit me

Gonna go all in

Excuses

Bar none

Should be a point of concern

My

Opinions

“Just mine”

Yeah right, I’m gonna burn

My

Boyhood

Habits

Ones that I need to unlearn

My

Instincts

Need work

Always

Meeting adjourned

My

God, I don’t wanna mess it up

But I gotta call your bluff

Gonna go all in

Hit me

Gonna go all in

Hit me

Gonna go all in

Stroke of Luck

I’m at my wit’s end

You threw me for a loop

Didn’t see you coming

Sun was in my eyes

Time is of the essence

Counterclockwise 

When your mind’s made up

Make out like a bandit

No way we coulda planned it

Some kinda stroke of luck

Some kinda stroke of luck

Some kinda stroke or luck

Some kinda stroke of luck

Some kinda stroke of luck

Some kinda stroke of luck 

Voices like to travel

Down a digital cave

What’s got ya tied up?

What could it possibly be?

Stuck on a playground

Playing make believe

When your mind’s made up

Make out like a bandit

No way we coulda planned it

Some kinda stroke of luck

Some kinda stroke of luck

Some kinda stroke or luck

Some kinda stroke of luck

Some kinda stroke of luck

Some kinda stroke of luck 

Some kinda stroke of luck

Some kinda stroke of luck

Hold Your Own

Check, please

The vultures are out tonight

They don’t mind

Running every red light

Never took the note,

To dial it back

Though they heard you loud and clear

Still they persist,

And try to impress ya,

Hey dude could you hold my beer?

Hold your own / Hold your own

You were king in junior high

Hold your own / Hold your own

She just clicked unsubscribe

Hold your own / Hold your own

You’re toxic beyond belief,

Hold your own / Hold your own

Your brand is killing me

Mayday,

You’re spiraling out of control

It’s hard to watch you,

Dig yourself into this hole

A regular playboy,

With tricks up his sleeve,

Never known self-doubt

You bought all the books,

Can’t buy charisma,

How’s that working out?

Hold your own / Hold your own

You’re not fooling anyone 

Hold your own / Hold your own

Why bother put up a front?

Hold your own / Hold your own

Just like your old man 

Hold your own / Hold your own

Gotta love the promised land

Ten & Two

Sped along at ten and two

Circled ‘round the awful truth

I could use a change

Long as the good parts stay 

I’ll be fine

Such a pain to stay awake

Climb into bed and hibernate, well

Goodnight moon

There’s a fire in the other room

Raising hell

And I lost my voice, the one in my head

Now all I wanna do

Wake up early, paint the town red

Instead of feeling blue

Ooh

I got nothing to lose

Never meant to make a fuss

I’d rather build than reconstruct

A time and a place

Civil war of mental states

Place your bets

The way our hands interlaced

Superpowers activate

I know it’s true

I can take the world on with you

What do you say?

And I lost my voice, the one in my head

Now all I wanna do

Wake up early, paint the town red

Instead of feeling blue

Ooh

I got nothing to lose

Composed myself and I took a stab,

Somehow kept my cool

No more baggage, no more to unpack

Everything to prove

Ohhh

I got nothing to lose

Damn Fools

Got me riled up

Got me out of breath

Won’t leave my mind

Won’t put it to rest, It’s a 

side effect of living in the present

They can use time as a weapon

Know where you’ve been, n where you were headed

We’re damn fools

Acting foolish get fooled into doing whatever they want us to do

Hey!

Shoulda read the fine print ‘fore I went and jumped in but so did you

So did you

We’ve been here before

We’ll be here again

Let’s not make believe

Let’s not play pretend, You’ll be 

busy angry, checking the facts

No shit Sherlock, do the math

Make sure to carry the one

We’re damn fools

Acting foolish get fooled into doing whatever they want us to do

Hey!

Shoulda read the fine print fore I went and jumped in but so did you

Falsify and fossilize

What you believe to be true

Call yourself a guru

Oh I prefer to be televised 

To whet my appetite

Ohh

And be sure to tune in

To all our confusion

Juneau

Waste away

With eyes glazed over

That stuff will kill ya

Mind you

Comes with age

Just a phase inside your mind

As you watch from the sidelines

Can’t go it alone

Can’t go it alone 

Can’t go it alone

Whoa

Phone the folks,

They’re diagnosing,

Say you’re running,

On fumes

Compliments,

Ever since you made them smile

The number they always dial but

Can’t go it alone

Can’t go it alone 

Can’t go it alone

Whoa

Leave em stunned and spare no effort,

Underdog is under pressure

Spade

Here to interrupt

Here to erupt

Don’t shake it off

Shake it up up

In the air

Up in the air

If you wanna go

The doors right there

It’s a golden age we’re living in

Google yourself,

Google for help,

Buy buy buy

Sell sell sell

Sellers remorse

Taken by force

Oh well what can ya do?

Let the chips fall where they may

A spade’s not just a spade

Yesteryear feels just like it was yesterday

And they cater to you and your needs

The ones they defined and made

We play the game in their arcade

Enjoy your stay

No peace of mind,

Piece of my mind

Want a piece of me?

Live my life

Life’s all nice

Life’s all nice

Follow my lead

Get in line

Become a person of influence

Twiddle my thumbs

Twiddle for crumbs

Know who I am?

Know where I’m from?

Here’s a brochure

“Most def, sure sure sure”

You got yourself a deal

Let the chips fall where they may

A spade’s not just a spade

Yesteryear feels just like it was yesterday

And they cater to you and your needs

The ones they defined and made

We play the game in their arcade

Enjoy your stay

We’re open late

Til the moonlight swallows you whole

That’s all folks
