lyrics
We lost disproportionately
They watched us devolve into vagueness
We mocked ourselves into demise
And when there’s nothing left but cold caprice
You guard your grievance like a dog in the manger
You’ll let yourself breed contempt until you die of common diseases
So let the sentences retain
Reinforcement judgments, consternated ruin
Your solitude will be confined
Glow in your penumbra
Efflorescent moon
You played for a peak full of fame & fortune
The heights of which you fail to climb or tumble down
You’re isolated from your savior
You’ll be jarred into good behavior
What costs us inordinately
Can stop ourselves from becoming the demons
We knock ourselves up every time
You sell yourself a print in bold relief
And hang it up like a portrait of Jesus
In vain attempts to repent for your decline
We know that you need to
Just let your temperance lay in wait
We’ll destroy the government
Elevate the faith
When all of you withhold the names
Will you hold us under?
Drown us with your weight?
You strayed incomplete from the shame and forced us
To side with none who justify your every move
Your convolution was your failure
You've been jarred into good behavior

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
