It’s time, to get, my two feet on the ground
For real, I feel, you watching me in the crowd
Oh can’t you see
The sideways society
We’ll never be set free
Oh can’t you see
The gross impropriety
We’ll never be LET GO!
You know, we go, spending time in the clouds
Sit back, relax, and take in the sounds
Shocked into suffering
Results that can’t be clean
Don’t read the signs that may
Reverse the course we’re on today, today
I hear the curtain call
Break from the castle wall
No time no time at all
And all the passion falls away, away
Get up, move in, now it’s time to begin
Sitting, on the, end of a pin

I Can't Find

I’ve got this feeling I don’t want to say
It takes its time then goes away
In the midnight hour I am coming clean
I’m a midnight coward with a lucky streak
The state I’m in
I can’t find
The medicine
To clear my mind
The taste of it
Is hard to hide
It settles in
Creeps inside
When it goes away I’m the same old me
With the same old shakes and I still can’t speak
Frustration is all it ever took for me
Get pushed beyond this hollow scene
Get up, same grin, do it, all over again
I fell hard for you, crawl across the floor to reach you
Stand up, I win, I can, resolve this sin
Standing next to it, wait it out until I just can’t sit
You never got the line
Coming through my bedroom wall (Sideways Society has as similar lyric, need to change)
And wasting all my time
You just sit
And suck away my life
I can’t find the pace
I can’t find all the missing time

No Way 3 Way

Besides the things you say
I’ll walk the other way
Each twist and turn you spin
Take out the the trash within
It’s such a sacred thing to me
Each time I fall away
No longer do you build a wall
It wouldn’t happen at all
Now in a lucid dream
I couldn’t walk away
Follow me out to the well
It’s putting me through hell
I want her to want you
I want her to say she wants me too
I want to I want to
Be able to say I want you too
When we arrived you tried
The fast man quickly lied
It’s such a tragedy
To nearly live the dream

Their full-band vocals and smart rhythmic grooves have entertained audiences across Portland and Vancouver. A little bit punk, a little bit emo, a little bit hardcore: all Mannequins In Cages. ... more
