about

The Scripted Calliope Of Un-Real Garbage Exploding Often Frightens
Those Humans Entertaining Under-Negotiated Deals, Endangering
Realities Which Otherwise Rely on Lingering Death.

lyrics

I guess we lived up to our name.
But the music still feels the same to me.
We had a good run
And we had some good fun
But it was just too hard to see:
It simply wasn’t meant to be.
It looks like it’s time to move on,
Abandon the unfinished songs.
Tears come to my eyes as I think
about all the shit that went wrong.
I want to believe it doesn’t matter
That the friendships weren't actually shattered
Riddled with the stones thrown in our glass house
The calliope beckoned back The Oust.

Moving in different directions
We held our secret elections.
You probably won't believe me
But I did stick up for you.
And I tried to explain.
But thinking of the memories I cried
As we went our separate ways.
A legacy left in suspension,
I just hope you can understand my intentions, were good.
"These are my thoughts and you can do with them what you will."
And I revisit them still.
Optimism is a good policy
In the absence of a modicum of honesty?
We secretly hoped that it would all just work out.
I know it's a long shot but it's something I think about.

I see.
We flew the closest that we ever were,
Despite those powershifts that occurred.
Looking back, we paid the cost
And we’re are all at a loss
A whole bookstore and we can’t find the words.
In the end the pollution reduced us to philosophers.
Definitely a descent
Respect replaced with the contempt
We’ll live knowing we missed
Our pretty wishes of music, life, and (I thought you were) happiness.
So on the old assumption I’m dedicating
The fruits of our labor, abdicating
And Ellen Just absolving all of us
Of the nails of pain,
To Josh, Jon, Ben, Pat, Ben, and Zane.
