Malfeasance

Smile
Lift your hand and wave to man woman and child
My words are plague, designed to calm your rage
Can’t look away, you know I’ll make you pay
Up on a pedestal where you, truly can’t be seen
Our freedom is a lie we all believe
Do as I say, don’t do as I do, you’ll only get confused
To prove a point, you know I’m always right
Vacuous eyes, born to tell you lies
Up on a pedestal where you, truly can’t be seen
Our freedom is a lie we all believe
We won’t go blindly like they say
Up on a pedestal where you, truly can’t be seen
Our freedom is a lie we all believe
Up on a pedestal where you, truly can’t be seen
Freedom is a lie that we’ve been taught to see

It’s time to take these blank walls in our cities and our towns
Some things will stay but others will never be the same
Perspectives can change, try not to place all of the blame
This war has hit our streets, people are standing on their feet, there’s no retreat anymore
The lack of common sense has left red all over town
Some things will stay but others will never be the same
Perspectives can change, try not to place all of the blame
This war has hit our streets, people are standing on their feet, there’s no retreat anymore
Some things will stay but others will never be the same
Rational empathetic sentiment
Perspectives can change try not to place all of the blame
Open up your eyes clear thought prevails

What If
02:51

I can’t talk to you / You and I
Like we used to / What if I
Took it all on / What if I took it all on me
What if we’ve all been wrong
Doing this our way all along
From what we both thought that we knew
Look in the mirror / Who am I
What have I done / Can’t look back
All that I’ve seen / Cant go back with all I’ve seen What if we’ve all been wrong
Doing this our way all along
From what we both thought that we knew
What If I / Took it all on me
Who am I / Look in the mirror
What if I / What if we’ve been wrong
Who am I / And with what I’ve done
What if I took it all on me

The Fall
03:06
|

Do you do it for yourself
Do you do it for people to look at you
And if no one was watching would you do it at all Sadness solitude
Status quo platitudes
Falling on deaf ears
Held over childhood fears
Talk it out make sure you’re being heard
Or do the actions speak for themselves
Is anyone paying attention
What happens when you’re by yourself
Where is the peace of mind
Is there acceptance over time
Live life your own or follow along
How do they look at you
Whose watching the things you do
Does it help you sleep by closing your eyes
Brush all the warts out of the frame
Perform the role and take a bow, collect the praise
But do they really seem amused
Do the all roses flatter you?
When they wilt, they leave an empty vase
Sweep all the hunger into frame
Pass out a pittance, strike a pose, collect acclaim
Power always condescends
All accomplices no friends
All accomplishment is just a filtered lie wither on the vine

Save You
02:44

I hear you talking on the phone
I feel the air it’s heavy all around
I can feel something is wrong but
I don’t care anymore, so just say it loud
I can’t get through
I can’t get through
What do you want from this?
How can I fix it all?
What do you need from me?
I cant save you
This will come out one day
Cause stress always has its own way
Lifelong patterns are hard to break
When everyone you know has survived this way I want to get through
I want to get through

Insulated

I’m at war
Within myself
No more
Asking for help
I feel so alone
How in this moment am I on my own Reframe
And self reflect
Self doubt
From past Neglect
I feel so alone
How in this moment am I on my own

PEZZ - A New Capacity
03:07
|
|||
If I lead, will you follow me? If I do, will I pour it on? If an army mounts will I really lead? If a battle comes, will I stand tall, and fight with everything I got? Will I spill my last drop of blood, to lead us to believe we can really start to turn the tide? Now I really want to know, have I got what it takes to shape the future? Am I gonna make you known? If you want to take the wheel, I'm gonna let you. I wanna know. There's a voice inside my head that says, "Let's spark a rally!" It's saying, "If not you, then who? If not now, then will we?" There are muscles atrophied that are dying for some blood and work. Just waiting to be filled to show us a new capacity. Now I really want to know, have I got what it takes to shape the future? Am I gonna make you known? If you want to take the wheel, I'm gonna let you (right now). I wanna know.

This time I tried so hard. This time I tried, do you see it? This time I swear I’ve done it all. This time I tried. Am I beaten? This time, will I know? (no, I’m not finished yet). This time, will I see it? (no, I'm not finished yet). This time I tried so hard. (no I’m not finished yet). So tired this time and I feel beaten. This time I tried, will I know, will I see it through the end. This time I tried, will I see it? Will I see it through the end? This time I tried, will I know? Will I see it through the end? This time I tried. Am I beaten?

PEZZ - Hard Lessons
02:55
|

So you romanticize about an easier life, so you don’t have to pay the price for what you own. But remember dear, when the end is near, you will not regret all the hardships that you’ve known. And it’s the hard lessons that make you what you are today, stronger anyway. It’s the hard lessons that break you down and build you up again my friend. And I would not trade my callouses for your soft hands, and I would not give up anything that has made me a man. For I’ve been bent and broken, and now I understand, that every fucking fall I took helped me to better stand. And it’s the hard lessons that make you what you are today, stronger anyway. It’s the hard lessons that break you down and build you up again my friend. I’m leaving you, done everything I can do. I have to get out before this town breaks me in two. But I know what you’re made of, and I know you’ll be strong, and after a while you’ll realize that you’re so much better off, and it’s the hard lessons that make you what you are today, stronger anyway. It’s the hard lessons that break you down and build you up again my friend.

Maybe things won’t be alright. Maybe no one wins this fight. Maybe there’s no silver line. Maybe everybody loses this time. You can choke on your cliches, cause there’ll be no more better days. I refuse to accept his suicide was all for the best. Save your platitudes my friend for swimming in the shallow end. Life’s a lottery of beauty and tragedy, not some predetermined test. All this pain ain't meant to be. You just fear your empathy. See him sitting in that chair. Don't you tell me that he’s better off there. It’s an excuse, a dismiss (a lie). It’s an arbitrary twist. Why make sense of all this pain? Sit with me, wait out the rain.

PEZZ - End Notes
03:23
|

Sun it never lasts more than a day or so, like so many friends it came to stay here long enough to leave an indescribable impact on this place. This city’s sweating bullets and raining those cold November tears (All we are in this world. All we have in this world). I guess I never thought you'd go away. I guess I never thought you'd leave me here. Roses last so long here that the birds and bushes stay frightfully alive. This city really never ever just cools off I guess. It’s Thursday night and it's 23 degrees. Cold it travels all along the evening breeze. Fifteen gathered up and bundled tight. “We'll make it, we'll make it, we'll make it” is heard through the night. Portland, Austin, Asheville, New York and Providence. My friends, they've been called on so much further and further away from here. (All we are in this world. All we have in this world). I guess I never thought you'd go away. I guess I never thought you'd leave us here.
