Chin Up! (official music video)

Push push push beyond the groove
The optics haunt my every move
For laughs
Contrast that with the past
Chin up
The walls are watching
A snap of a camera
The ransom’s tremendous sum
Political chess move
A swing of the pendulum
Gone in a flash
I buried the way I feel
Your love’s just a topping
A toy in a Happy Meal
We better
Push push push beyond the groove
The optics haunt my every move
Refract
Contrast the Vantablack
Chin up
The walls are watching
The push
The push is gaining ground
At this speed the feed is cutting out
For now the killers clink their cups
Chin up
The walls are watching us
The walls are watching
The walls are watching us

The Minutes

I shouldn’t get to choose
Whose game we stand to lose
I tried tough love
I’m leaving it behind
The answers are in front of us
So they aren’t hard to find
Fuck the minutes
Check the cliffnotes
Smudge the margins
Add the air quotes
You didn’t want to lose
Your hard-earned leg up on the truth
The distance between Long Island and Duluth
It’s all a game of inches til we come upon the proof
Pause the minutes
Read the minutes
Trust the minutes
Heed the minutes
Count the minutes
Parse the minutes
End the minutes
Start the minutes
Claim the minutes
Blame the minutes
Take a minute
State your business
Somehow try to get it through your skull
Somehow try to get it through your skull
The proof’s in the pudding
The proof’s in the pudding
The proof’s in the pudding

You oughta come clean because
You’re putting on airs
You leave your mask on when nobody’s there
Daylight’s coming
So start dressing the part
Too much to keep track of and nowhere to start
Too many moving pieces
Too many moving pieces
Too many movable pieces
So what do we do here?
Imposters can stroll right through here
A morsel of recon
For other weirdos
Your math is exposed.
Too many moving pieces
Too many moving pieces
Too many movable pieces
So what do we do here?
Imposters can stroll right through here
Too many moving pieces
Too many moving pieces
Too many movable pieces
So what do we do here?
Imposters can stroll right through here

You’re losing your touch
Mars is reeling me in
There’s only so much
You could spread that thin
Just along for the ride
A worthwhile crusade
I feel centrifugal forces start to fade
I’m with you
In an underwater igloo
You’re losing the thread
So I’m following ghosts
The breadcrumbs we left mean we are toast
You’re phasing me out
It’s doing me in
You’re losing my trust
So to my chagrin
I’m with you
I’m with you
I’m with you

A routine surrender
Keep the truth from me so it’s a possibility
The repeat offender
There’s been a history I decided not to see
My capabilities only stretched to a degree
Peel another layer
Take the rhinestones off
Take the rhinestones off
Don’t mind my behavior
I don’t know to act since my candy coating cracked
But therein lies the danger
If you’re missing something small
You’re just centimeters tall
But most things by default
Will not have a fate at all
It won’t get better later
Rip the Band-Aid off
Rip the Band-Aid off
Don’t act like you are asking but don’t cut me any slack
If we take the high road, we’re not going back
We unearthed patient zero and it leaves me little doubt
You sugarcoat the worst parts and leave the best parts out
You leave the best parts out
Field mouse or a lab rat?
Make that choice for me or you risk me going free
Keep the truth from me
To act responsibly
If I had a plan B, would I scare so easily?
