The Buck Stops Where?
01:12
|

Side-stepping, trash-talking, blinker-wearing, finger-pointing. The excuses come thick and fast to forgo action and do nothing. That's beyond my pay grade, and the buck won't stop here. Washed up and burnt out with no reputation left to lose. Gung-ho, cavalier, fly-by-night, wholly insincere. A walking, talking liability. Partially present and entirely incompetent. That's beyond my pay grade, and the buck won't stop here. Washed up and burnt out with no reputation left to lose.

Taking Stock
01:27
|

Analyse, evaluate, reflect. Who are you? Where are you? What's going on? Did things go according to plan? Has it turned out so wrong? Taking stock, taking stock, taking stock of your life. Be you safe? Be you well? Do you have a purpose? Does your fire still burn? Have you experienced both love and grief? Were you faced with problems or opportunities? Is it still worth it? Will it matter in the end? Should you feel accomplished? Are you completely spent? Celebrate, commiserate, change or don't. You only get one shot, but we all deserve a second chance? No one has all the answers or feels entirely in control. There's good and bad to it, you know? Taking stock, taking stock, taking stock of your life.

Sink into Despair
00:22
|

Nothing gold can stay. We are but dust and shadows. Set on a continuous downward trajectory. You can't cheat it. Resistance is futile.

Tempered Expectations
02:02
|

Take it down a notch, rein it back in. You've got to crawl before you can walk. Know one's place, keep quiet and stay in line. Button that collar, straighten that tie. Check those locks and tighten those chains. Aspire to be ordinary, mediocre, average. Just coast along, maintain the status quo. Don't dare do anything to rock the boat. Settle for crumbs, subsist on table scraps. Big dreams are unattainable when you start off in debt. Conform, submit, obey. Honour apathy, doubt humanity. No thought, no imagination. Follow and cooperate. They live, we sleep. Bow your head, stay down on your knees.

Just Money
01:15
|
|||
Got a problem? Throw money at it. That'll fix it, and if it doesn't? Chuck some more in. I mean, smoke 'em if you got 'em, right? I'm telling you, like it or not, we are all slaves to the almighty dollar. All that credit is a godsend till you've overreached and default on payment. Drowning in debt, it's a big mess. No one will help. Shit out of luck. Oh, please save me!

Persistent Bother
00:23
|
|||
No respite, no reprieve. Never a moment's peace. I guess some things are just not meant to be.

Visceral Manipulation
01:56
|
|||
Push it through, dig down deep. Movement creates distraction, break away unscathed. Locate the tension, target the source, rub out the problem, work it all away. Fit to burst, got a body full of rage. Condition and coerce, restrain and restrict. Beware what lies beneath...
