lyrics
Brace yourself defensively
Cauterize what ails you
Codify your pleas
Wade into the violent stream
Maybe you belong there
Otherwise you’ll leave
Heights impossibly you scale
With your limits shy insatiable and steep
Did you notice them or did you let them fade
Estrange the frills you can’t afford to keep
And when your problems start to mete the punishment explicitly
Condition me
You bore me out and paid the keep and solved another mystery
Condition me
We place aside all horrible, horrible feelings
We grant ourselves improbable time
We’re in the grasp of torturous, torturous healing
We stop ourselves just short of the line
Compromise is medieval
Waste your time effectively
Solidify your vague and undetermined mien
Take what you should not receive
Cede the rest and claim your conscience isn’t clean
And, as urgently you bail
Out the vessel sailing, slowly springing leaks
Do you warn them all, as torrents breach the wales
You float until you can’t afford to sink
So let me out I can’t contend with all of these indignities
Condition me
You wore me out ,I’m overspent
Insolvency is bittersweet
Condition me
You’ll hear me out I’ll tell you this
You can’t dismiss what you should be
Condition me
Completely lost, you find your bliss - in what’s remiss: simplicity
Condition me
You’ll live beside your horrible, horrible feelings
You gave yourself these obstacles once
You’re in the traps of virtuous, virtuous meanings
You stop yourself just short of the one
Compromise you can deal with

and probably more.
Anything by him is worth checking if not owning. A true musical whiz with seemingly infinite hook-filled melodies and killer songs. Start anywhere and this is a good one. Jennifer Jupiter
The songs on this new album are either smooth but tight or rock your world. Above and Beyond their already outstanding sound, "Take out the Poison" will enter your inner being with songs that penetrate your soul through lyrics and music that are uniquely their own. These songs are the most diverse yet similar from their other albums. Listen to their songs they are awesome. The Bye Bye Blackbirds continue to exude their special sound of infinite talent. They have done it again and I believe always will; as if there was ever any doubt about these gifted musicians. Rock on Gentlemen! "Take out the Poison" is a winner ! I am me
