Curtain Call
words and music by Eric Arndt
Everything you want
Isn’t everything you need
You’d rather be a tree
Than have to plant a seed
Water everyday
And watch it bare your fruit
Instead you’re quite content
With never taking root
Just go the extra mile
And you’ll have more to show
The things of this world
Can’t go where you go
Pretend to not hold on
To the world as you flirt
You know that your possessions
Are nothing more than dirt
You’re so far from, it’s amazing
While you stand there crystal gazing
Life moves on and it’s going to pass you
Curtain call, what are you supposed to do
You’re waiting there, all eyes are on you
Forgot your lines and you’ve just missed your cue
If honesty is the best policy
Then why would anyone want to be a Pharisee
Play a leading role on the stage of life
You need to cut the act with a pocket knife

Freedom To Fail
words and music by Eric Arndt
Awnings and yawnings, and I’m moving out
You were the one I knew nothing about
Stand in your circle, try to post your own bail
When facing the question you want freedom to fail
It was supposed to be nice
It was supposed to be fun
Now your introverted world
Is always coming undone

Officer Down
words and music by Eric Arndt
Officer down, officer down
We’re on broadway, and we need help now
We need help right now, officer down
Roy was a gentle giant, who clicked on the line
He had an entry wound in his neck, just missed the spine
He thought his training officer was already dead
Blood pooled on the grey upholstery, flowing from his head
Officer down, officer down
We’re on broadway, and we need help now
We need help right now, officer down
The friday before Christmas, Roy’s twelveth day on the force
Abe was driving the white squad car, staying on the course
Three miles away in Signal Hill, a man was up to no good
Abe took the call and turned around, Roy understood
They had probable cause to pull him over
Instead of a routine stop they ducked for cover
Shots fired, shots fired
Officer down, officer down
We’re on broadway, and we need help now
We need help right now, officer down

Reason and Rhyme
words and music by Eric Arndt
I don’t have a phone
I don’t have the time
For frivolous things
Beyond reason and rhyme
It’s a crime, a burning flame
Can melt away your smile
It was mine, a breathing dream
That now lays here in a pile
I’ll keep moving on
Till I find another song
I can sing over you
Look in your eyes and say I do
I don’t have a light
Or a ticket to ride
To where you’re going
See you on the other side
It’s a crime, a burning flame
Can can blow out in the breeze
It was mine, a beating heart
That you could stop if you please
I’ll keep moving on
Till I find another song
I can sing over you
Look in your eyes and say I do

We're Not Dead
words and music by Eric Arndt
You are a liar, you are a cheat
Even though you thought you were discreet
You plant a seed now, that later you’ll reap
You talk about me, cause you think I’m asleep
I’m only annoying when I sleep
Snoring loud as I breathe deep
If we wake up tomorrow
Then we’ll know we’re not dead
We’re not dead
You are deceitful, you are a thief
You take away from, instead of bring relief
You plant a seed now, that later you’ll reap
You talk about me again, cause you think I’m asleep
I’m only annoying when I sleep
Snoring loud as I breathe deep
If we wake up tomorrow
Then we’ll know we’re not dead
We’re not dead
