Inherent Absence
⚠️ CONTENT ADVISORY – SET LIST 22 TRIGGER WARNING This album contains a wide range of emotionally intense, explicit, and potentially distressing material.

When You're Hammered (1) ANOTHER EPIC POEM As the cameras flashed Somehow I held everything back Oh, how I was so ready to snap Yet so caught up in the moment I knew I could not show it So I made it seem like I cherished it As on the inside I'd lie and try to hide All of my rough, jagged edges and my innermost blemishes While on the outside I'd smile, Shake hands and high five The people as they filed Up and down now They're crowding around both sides of the aisle This was before your time This was before your time This was before your time Back when you didn't know me Back when I barely knew myself This was before your time This was before your time This was before your time Back when I was searching for Safety in seclusion far away from someone else But when I heard the magic of your words As you sang I actually praised the lord! And those of you who know me would all agree That that's my own personal version of blasphemy… Why did I believe in you? Was it because I knew You'd come to believe in me, too… Eventually… Or was it because before you came around I found I was spiritually empty… I was oh so empty… Then suddenly, you appeared…dear And here was this well Ahh…Refreshing as hell Just then your voice rang out As clear as a bell, "Drink up, drink up… For we have more… Yes, there's plenty!" Since that day I have NEVER lost my faith My faith in me... My faith in you... My faith in our ability to adapt or escape... To either leave or lead this human race!
(2) STARS AND STRANGERS I've seen faces come and go Like seasons in a small-town square. Old men feeding birds, mothers combing tangled hair. You can tell a lot about a place By who still waves when you drive by, And who hides behind curtains pretending they're not lurking as they hide. There was a girl I met With a long silver medallion chain, We held hands, shared a dream and danced barefoot in the rain. She said even if the world is mostly pain, Why not strut our stuff and do our thang? I wrote her name in dust upon my dashboard, And then we drove until the letters disappeared. Take heed of the warning Things in your rear view mirror may actually be closer than they appear... We woke up to a radio preacher Saying time is running thin, But the clock on my wall don't scare me now Like it once did back then. I've been building little fires To light my way back home Finally stoking embers Feeling renewed in their warm glow. There was a note taped to my mirror — Saying: "Don't you dare forget who you are!" I kept on reading until the rain ran down the ink, Navigating distance only by the stars. Now I'm older than I ever planned to be, Still searching for the knowledge that can set us free. The road is cracked, the signs are bending, But the engine hums its familiar, steady key. Maybe all this wandering is just rehearsal for the end, A way of making peace with having to start again. If love is its own language coming through in waves I await the warm embrace I'm ready to be washed away! The moon hangs low above the pines tonight, A white yellow round against canvas black blends If she's listening, tell her I still write, I will write... And some day I'll return with what I lost back then… (3) TONY'S SONG I said weasel, let's talk About our favorite three letters (USA) As free men, we walk But only if they let us (yeah, yeah) Down the road we go Knowing well some of us won't return… (no) Yeah, another thing we know We've been watching this slow, slow burn… (slow) We're burning, burning, watching our dreams go up in flames, Looking for a reason not to treason, but the reason never came. Caught between the future and the mess we're in today Trying to get in, get out, trying to get it before it gets away… The fire keeps getting hotter But now I got a daughter It's up to me to teach her what she learns Yeah, I've got to find a way to cope When I know I'm losing hope And I'm gonna hit that point of no return! We're burning, burning, watching our dreams go up in flames, Looking for a reason not to treason, but the reason never came. Caught between the future and the mess we're in today Trying to get in, get out, get it and make our getaway… There's about a million people in the world Who are better than all the rest To have any more than that Is really superfluous So with that in mind What is my purpose? To be the Luigi In Mario's World? Should I strive to save a princess Or die trying to flip the turtles? Maybe find the king of the castle And shake up every piece on the board Be a twentieth-century Robin Hood Send someone bad back to the Lord! We're burning, burning, watching our dreams go up in flames, Looking for a reason not to treason, but the reason never came. Caught between the future and the mess we're in today Trying to get in, get out, and live to see the light of next day… I finally watched The Sopranos Two decades after it aired Whatever happened to Keanu Reeves? That kinda guy has all but disappeared... I've got a troubled mind During these troubled times Yeah, you say you're one in a million – And I say there's over eight-thousand of your kind! Yeah We're burning, burning, watching our dreams go up in flames, Looking for a reason not to treason, but the reason never came. Caught between the future and the mess we're in today Trying to get in, get out, maybe be heard when we got something to say… Trying to get in, get out, trying to get it before it gets away… Trying to get in, get out, t rying to get it before it gets away… Trying to get in , get out, trying to_______________________ Trying to get in, get out, trying to _______________________ My Great Godfather always wanted to die early Just so he said he would look good at the wake He's ninety-eight and counting.... Doctor says he's doing great (4) KILL THE SEED Don't go in the ocean Don't you dare try to fly in the sky There are sharks beneath the dark water Above fucking glowing drones that fly There's bugs in all our devices And roaches in the pot, yes Messages that are subliminal Are now entering our heads! A death sentence is now thirty paragraphs We all signed but didn't read, no…. Technology is bringing us backwards Save the chaff and kill the seed A crazy man wanting to to Mars When I just want to go to California (5) KEY TO BE FREE Why do so many believe That insanity Is the key to be free? I see zombies frozen asleep On the sides of the street! (6) PERFECT Eyes are watching but they don't see me While all the tragic people long to be me Don't know why that is Don't wanna play into the hysteria That's why I always try to break free Believing there's another way to live Than what they're telling ya… Am I among the few? Many would have you believe so What does your neighbor say? Why don't you go knock on his door? Alas, he moved real far away long ago Set out searching though he declined to define What he'd be looking for… Just said he'd know it when he sees it In his bestest version of broken English Funny how I've grown to understand it And even come to speak it You say screw it I'll just do it Doesn't have to be the perfect plan Start by doing Gets things moving If you wanna get into the Or outtava jam! You just say screw it... I'll just do it! For there ain't no perfect plan, man… For there ain't no perfect plan, woman… For there ain't no perfect plan, My child… (7) ACT FASTING Buridan's Ass... Buridan's Ass… I know I've become unstable because Lately I've been feeling trapped Buridan's Ass... Buridan's Ass… I look both ways And still here I'm at... With all this open field And all these things I feel And yet no clear path Buridan's Ass... Buridan's Ass… He died right here from indecision Left his bones to act as our map Buridan's Ass... Buridan's Ass… When you're empty, hungry and thirsty Sometimes the secret is just knowing when to act! Buridan's Ass... Buridan's Ass… You could learn a lot from a donkey If you just know the right questions to ask… Buridan's Ass... Buridan's Ass… (8) GROOVE BACK II I don't wanna know about my heroes... The same way I don't wanna know if my doctor drinks Being who you are has gotten you this far But you've stalled and hit a wall My guy… what are you doing to yourself? Didn't you used to be someone else? I'm trying to get my groove back (Groove back) And prove that (Prove that) The haters were wrong I'm trying to write a new refrain where I show restraint and not lose from where I came you know same old shit, same old song!
(9) CLOSURE / AFTERMATH Well, we're way past the Fourth of July... And I'm sinking fast by the riverside I see my possessions out on the block Everything I worked so hard for will be gone And I'll be left here holding on But I can't stay here So I'll be moving on…. Moving on… I'll be moving on... You could call it a midlife crisis I keep giving in to my vices But the thing is It's been like this since I was sixteen It never stops, sometimes it slows then gets real mean! Grows and grows… grows and grows... Some are calling it a midlife crisis Why I keep giving in to my vices While avoiding all the people who knew me back in the day Because if they saw what I've been doing I know what they would say My life is in ruins Since I came back from abroad I was broken from her powers And yeah, I fucking lost God! Yeah See, she made me hate my past It was all a landslide after that I did everything little she asked Now you'll have to bask in the aftermath… I just bought a gun and you know why… That fucking cunt is gonna die! A whole bunch of bullets by my side Just the latest murder suicide You watched her take her first breath I watched her take her last Now we're both left with the side effects of actions that can't be taken back The family is still craving the familiar while strangers mill over the peculiar How could one kill with such composure That's why you see me here seeking closure To a door, a cell, a tomb God grant me the strength to go on, to yell, to cry somehow It is time I'm a prisoner of my brain A victim of biology Slowly driven insane By a hollow graphic society I let a wrong turn define my path Now you're left dealing with the aftermath I felt like life had kicked my ass What I've done I can't take back... We can't take back… And since sociopaths are bad with names To you my kind it might sound strange Yeah, all you're gonna do is fan the flames It's just gonna be another attempt in vain We both know things aren't gonna change Feels like I'm screaming into a hurricane-cane-cane-ane-ane-ane……… (10) MY FAN FICTION She was more than a world away Yet this dream I could not shake Taking up the best time she had Shouldn't have done that now looking back Sometimes you can end the world With just your good intentions I needed more than refinement I needed reinvention Always driven by passion Maybe more an addiction? Why not self-improvement I'm now asking I was trying to make fact this fan fiction, yeah! I tried to find the perfect girl Inside of this imperfect world As I sit and trace my greatest mistakes My last decade alone - give or take I Lost a girl i never had On two planes I had to come back I was more numb than I was sad Crawling back home to my two cats I been trying to hide from my mind... but there's no escape I been thinking about the one that got away... every single Fucking day When I lied to myself I used to actually believe But now I stopped playing pretend, hell, nah, I don't even dream Lost from the here and now Now she's two worlds away To that other side Over in that better place… (11) DAYLIGHT SAVINGS I drive by school bus stops... Quite a lot To see who leaves their kid Alone in the dark. Daylight Savings Time, It could cover up a crime I drive by school bus stops quite a lot To see who leaves their kid alone in the dark. Daylight savings time, it could be a crime. I drive by school bus stops quite a lot To see who leaves their kid alone in the morning. Daylight savings time, it could be a crime. Take it from me, let this be your warning. Take it from me, it's your warning. Take this from me as your warning. Take this from me as your warning I drive by school bus stops quite a lot… (12) DIDDY MOCUMENTARY PARODY Voiceover: According to the 50 Cent doc, Diddy hired 8 lawyers at his trial for multiple millions of dollars… We right here? We gonna defend him for FREE!!! Diddy had great taste in clothes, and bows and hoes — fa sho! And maybe he had a darker side the public didn't know But hey, any man can kill a rap god or two — But to get off Dred Scott free with all that blood on your shoes!!! That's something only a true pro can do… Benjamin Netanyahu… I'm lookin' at you! And you too, Georgie Bush Two! It was Cassie, not P, who gave you that STD So classy is she, to not disclose…. Well she'll be spend that Diddy money When she's being deposed, exposed, You know these hoes!!! Can't keep their legs closed….

Gates, Bezos and Zuck and that Father Fucking Musk All sat at the loser table together at lunch Mad plotting against the world openly wishing me dead So all the good things I had they could have instead A quarter century later it's all crumbling down Now they rule the world they're making leaving town (15) RECKLESS GIRLS Nailing girls who are reckless.

Went chasing after her while still holding my broom… How did she get out of my Diddy room? Straight head first down the slip and slide. With all that baby oil, she glides and glides and glides and glides and glides and glides and glides and glides and glides and glides and glides! She glides. When chasing after her still holding my my broom, how does she break out of my Diddy room? Head first, straight straight head first down the slip and slide with all that baby oil. She glides and glides and glides and glides and glides. She glides, Escaped her chain She's now free to roam This is like some pornographic version of Home Alone... Looking up and down and searching everywhere when I finally found a trail of shaven pubic hair. Lucky for me, I'm gonna follow this clue, and I'm gonna follow this trail to happiness that's gonna lead me to you… I'm gonna lick your clit and twist your tits and then come in your ass so we don't have no kids.

I wanna go hit some trees... 'Cause I'm hammered! Good Night! Tip the waitstaff!!!!!
INHERENT ABSENCE

SET LIST TWENTY-TWO (22)


These songs navigate the absurd, the profane, and the painfully sincere—often within the same verse.

This collection explores the void left by lost connections, missed opportunities, and the spaces between who we are and who we hoped to become. 


From surreal encounters with fame to the wreckage of relationships, from absurdist humor to moments of startling vulnerability, this list refuses to look away from life's inherent emptiness. It asks what fills the space when love, meaning, and coherence fade—and whether we're brave enough to sit with the answer.
