Saved 04:06
Drawing lines and shooting hairs The best plans getting laid Traded in an honest wage The home that we had made Ain’t no past to wring me dry Save my soul don’t let it slip away Wounded man gonna leave his mount But I’m never gonna fold My 19 year old flew the coop She could never be controlled But she kept me from growing old Save my soul don’t let it slip away I’ll take you out and load you up You’re gonna show them what I love I’ll take you out and load you up We’re gonna show them what I love Your favorite son has a trigger hand The kids are out of luck The fear is building in their hearts Tonight they’ll self-destruct ‘Cause no one here is innocent Save my soul don’t let it slip away Save my soul don’t let it slip away I’ll take you out and load you up You’re gonna show them what I love I’ll take you out and load you up We’re gonna show them what I love Save my soul don’t let it slip away

Party 03:16
Miss teen liberty is a girl of taste Blind faith her addiction Broken gears, spinning wheels getting tied up in lace With allegiance to fiction When I’m alone I keep hoping for daylight Something that resembles a democracy Being held under by the weight of this travesty This ain’t a party for me Moving fast, burning gas, and I’m trying to change But my brain’s in a coma Fifty years, live in fear when I see my own face And I keep trying to fix it When we’re alone she keeps promising daylight Fed by the illusion of democracy Being held under by the weight of her fantasies This ain’t a party for me She’s gonna eat me alive I want a piece of myself She’s gonna eat me Hot sweat, cold feet, I can barely sleep The machine is calling me Are we believing there’s a separate peace When we’re thrown in the darkness When I’m alone I keep hoping for daylight Something that resembles a democracy Feeling like a burden, another victim of my own country This ain’t a party for me

You wanna decide Who’s gonna live and who’s gonna fry Who’s gonna join you in the afterlife And keep you warm into the middle of the night You’re gonna cry When boys head into your firefight And they bleed for your sake of being right ‘Cause on our hands and knees we look alright If you’re the queen It’s gotta be a little cold where you’re from If you’re the queen It’s gotta be a little cold where you’re from It’s gotta be You wanna decide Who’s gonna burn and who sees the light So you’re worshipped in the afterlife All God’s creatures need to hide in fright You’re gonna cry When they lose the will to fantasize You're so depraved you’ll never realize That your own ways are gonna suck you dry If you’re the queen It’s gotta be a little cold where you’re from If you’re the queen It’s gotta be a little cold where you’re from It’s gotta be Praise the queen of hot and cold

Gonna grit my teeth and pretend That I like it Where’s the end I smile while I’m shoveling shit It’s the last ditch “E” for effort Where they’ll bury me all alone Afraid that they’ll mark it unknown I gotta be released I’m out of my head I gotta be released I’m going out of my head I want to be released I caught a tough break Just say fuck it The sky is falling down anyway I smile with an idiot grin Here’s your chance, yeah But it’s your last Words are spoken, the spell is cast The enemy kills from within I gotta be released I’m out of my head I wanna be released I’m going out of my head I want to be released I'm out of my head I'm going out of my head I'm fucking out of my head I'm going out of my head I gotta be released I’m breaking down Don’t wanna fight I'm gonna get things right

Situation 02:49
I can't reset You know I can't rewind And I don't reflect On my peace of mind The situation's fine, at least I think it is I won't rescind The invitation's mine I'd never reject You'll never be declined The situation's all fucked up, yeah I know it is The situation's all fucked up, yeah I know it is I'm gonna give it all away I'm gonna give it all away to you Away to you I'm gonna throw it all away I'm gonna throw it all away for you Away for you The situation's all fucked up, at least I think it is The situation's fine, yeah I know it is

Whisper 04:26
I won’t be your whisper Landing calm upon your ear I won’t be your whisper Landing calm upon your ear I’m not landing calm upon your ear Just to lie about your fears I won’t be your gunfire Spraying cover for your crimes I won’t be your gunfire Spraying cover for your crimes I’m not spraying cover for your crimes Just gonna leave here when it’s time With all I give away You take so much that I can’t breathe Oh, you know I aim to please But it’s your bad fortune that’s got me on my knees I won’t be your hatchet Clearing brush to stop a fire I won’t be your hatchet Clearing brush to stop a fire I'm not clearing brush to stop your fire ‘Cause nothing flames up like a briar With all I give away You take so much that I can’t bleed Oh, you know I aim to please But it’s your bad fortune that’s got me on my knees I won’t be your whisper
7.
Chemical 04:12
Collecting childlike memories Piles and piles all headed south I want to be born again Just to feel your hand as it covers my mouth I got beat by your chemical I fell in love with your chemical You’re one wicked little thing I love the way you love yourself I’m hooked on you my medicine ‘Cause you make me horny while you steal my wealth I got beat by your chemical I fell in love with your chemical I’m tied up ‘cause you’re so sweet Coming for me Build you up a throne Present you with a crown At that perfect little place Where they’ll put me in the ground Carving up a stone Parade it through the town To that perfect little place Where they’ll put me in the ground I got beat by your chemical I fell in love with your chemical I’m tied up ‘cause you’re so sweet Coming for me

Lying in my bed at 2PM Find it hard to listen to my family or my friends While begging for their money Speeding with no cause just a heartbroken man Asking for assistance with another failing plan I’ve got my own ghost haunting me I’ve got a monkey on my back (Cannot tie him up or tame him) He never learned to act (But found success in entertainment) Dare I try to name him (I got my own ghost haunting me) Dare I try to name him (I got my own ghost haunting me) And I’m never breaking free I’ve got my own ghost, he’s haunting me Poison in my veins destroying every meaning With every pretty girl comes that sinking feeling I’m gonna bleed for nothing Always looking out for old number one Yet I can’t forget he holds the trigger to my gun I’ve got my own ghost haunting me I’ve got a monkey on my back (Cannot tie him up or tame him) He never learned to act (But found success in entertainment) Dare I try to name him (I got my own ghost haunting me) Dare I try to name him (I got my own ghost haunting me) And I’m never breaking free, I’ve got my own ghost haunting me

Murderer 04:06
One more thing before I go One more thing I'll ask you Lord You may need a murderer Someone to do your dirty work Don't act so innocent I've seen you pound your fist into the earth And I've read your book It seems that you could use another fool Well I'm cruel And I look right through You must have more important things to do So if you need a murderer Someone to do your dirty work

Jessica 04:06
Jessica, this shit's a mess It's probably best if we just say nothing I can't explain, I just give up I'm still thirsty and I just keep filling my cup It's never enough I don't need anything I don't need anything I don't need anything I'm not sure this is going anywhere Point blank, you want the honest truth And I've tried but the game's not paying off How far until you come back home? Around and round you go I don't want anything I don't want anything I don't want anything Just give me everything Just give me everything Just give me everything Just give me everything Just give me everything Just give, just give, just give Go on...

See No Evil 03:53
Bid farewell to those guys They’re so debonair with golden rings Dug us knee deep in lies But the more we ignore them, the less it stings We will see no evil If we don’t open our eyes So let’s pretend before we’re bored And inches turn to miles or more We attacked There are fruits of labor And there are pieces rotting over again But in our worst behavior You will always be my greatest friends We will see no evil If we don’t open our eyes So let’s pretend before we’re bored And inches turn to miles or more We attacked We will see no evil If we don’t open our eyes We will see no evil If we don’t open our eyes So let's pretend before we're bored And inches turn to miles or more So let's pretend before we're bored And spend our lives as corporate whores Let’s attack! We attacked

White Walls 04:30
Crossing that threshold Tearing with dull teeth Tempted to let go With no promise of relief Counting down the seconds ‘Til sleep needs to begin But if we just escaped We’d be outside looking in All your best intentions Disappearing here Among these white walls Building your shrine Searching for answers Your parents can’t find Mystery filled by The diagnosed kind But I still believe you I must be crazy With fleeting time and patience Our friends outside they bleed Skin splitting at the seams Now wolves are here to feed A faint natural light From places we won’t know Slowly filling up the kitchen On some homemaker show All your best intentions Disappearing here Among these white walls Building your shrine Searching for answers Your parents can’t find Mystery filled by The diagnosed kind But I still believe you I must be crazy Please turn these lights down low Please turn these lights down low Please turn these lights down low Oh, when will this feel like home

The smoke sets down on the avenue You know men rolling up piling revenue All going to work, another white-collared jerk And I’m becoming one of them Maybe it’s just consistency That I’m stumbling around through discrepancies My ambition is clear, but with this job I fear That I’m becoming one of them I’m becoming one of them I’m gonna be one of them Rolling in dirt, flying high We all line up in the blink of an eye We know war well, but it’s okay to be strong To follow that path, straight to death, to belong Still set soaked in my insolence You see I’m running amok til I hit the fence This company I keep Could make a grown man weep Still I’m becoming one of them I’m becoming one of them I’m gonna be one of them Rolling in dirt, flying high We all line up in the blink of an eye We know war well, but it’s okay to be strong To follow that path, straight to death, to belong Well, I'm becoming one of them Well, I'm becoming one of them I'm gonna be one of them

Oh, I feel lucky tonight I'm gonna get stoned and run around All aboard for funtime All aboard for funtime Fun! I was hanging down on Fairfax last night With Diablo and his crew All aboard for funtime Fun!

about

Ten years in the making...Burning Jet Black's first full length album.

In a Spotify world they're still FM radio pre-Clear Channel. It's good songs, good vibes, and no frills. Just music that's taken a decade to arrive.

Don't knock it till you've tried it.
