it's the law so you told me you and your pointed finger and i remain unclear on which one of you to take seriously why don't you call up the papers like you do most everything and report to them on how i refuse to follow your decree and they'll thank you but you're making waves and you think you're standing on solid ground but you stand in the way of yourself you make up all of the questions that seem to fit all your answers to convince yourself that you live the life everyone else should lead well tell them all what you told me along with your third degree i don't believe that there's a single one of them who will agree but you're making waves and you think you're standing on solid ground you stand in the way and you can't afford to be wrong but you're making waves and you think you're standing on solid ground but you stand in the way of yourself why don't you call up the bossman like you do most everything to propose a new law passed to tell us all what to think and he'll thank you

i'm undercover to find the truth exploit the other i'm undercover be hard pressed to find another i'm underpaid and i'm insecure and no one will take me seriously i'm undercover and it won't take much to burst your bubble how could you abuse your authority to catch them from their fall you all should be ashamed 'cause you know you were wrong to use your authority to catch them from their fall you all should be ashamed i'll soon discover which one of you employed the other i'll soon discover just how i plan to blow your cover i'm not afraid but i'm uninsured and i've got nothing left to my name you'll soon discover why i'm causing so much trouble how could you abuse your authority to catch them from their fall you all should be ashamed 'cause you know you were wrong to use your authority to catch them from their fall you all should be ashamed i'm undercover to find the truth exploit the other i'm undercover be hard pressed to find another

you say you've had enough of what you call experience and to think you've had it rough well it's not easy to give up but i'm not one to trust i've gone back more than once much easier said than done help me i'm desperate (brace yourselves everyone) does this sound familiar? (let the machine take this one) and if we cared as much (when it was new, we were young) maybe we'd be scared enough but i'm not one to trust i've gone back more than once much easier said than done

careful with what you say it just reflects yourself anyway you claim you will upgrade it's not a game i'm willing to play loose grip on reality time will display what you couldn't see seems to me that your reason for love is not to be alone can't help but wonder if you've asked yourself why things really turned out this way can't help but wonder if you've asked yourself are there some things you can't face? don't care who's right or wrong it's the truth that stands on its own found someone who hid from me turns out, that someone was me and i know i was partly to blame 'cause that man kept telling me to speak up and i'm sorry can't help but wonder if you've asked yourself why things really turned out this way can't help but wonder if you've asked yourself are there some things you can't face?

don't make me go back to therapy because every time i try to say exactly what i think but they don't contemplate they just ask me "why?" and if they ask how that makes me feel one more time i'm just walking out 'cause i always find that i'm trying to convince someone else i'm completely normal don't make me go back to therapy because every time now i'm afraid 'cause now i'm second guessing myself if i'm completely normal

i don't know why you chose to be with me i'm just a wanderer at most and i always think i fail at everything you were always there to set me straight you carried a part of me and i still don't know why and i buried a part of me to protect you from my lies i used to see myself as you and me despite my selfish ways and you know it hurt when i had to deal with all of your mood swings there's no one who should feel sorry you carried a part of me and i still don't know why and i buried a part of me to protect you from my lies you carried a part of me and i still don't know why and i buried a part of me and i know there's no time you carried a part of me and i still don't know why and i buried a part of me to protect you from my lies

rest assured i'm on the case please allow me a little more grace 'cause i need to move at my own pace i'm sure you've lost all hope at this rate but i'm scared i'm going to throw my life away i can't spare more time for me to concentrate it's unfair that i have kept you waiting so long it seems like everyone else makes more time than i could ever replace please tell me now what does it take? to get ahead before it's too late i'll reach you somehow but i'm scared i'm going to throw my life away i can't spare more time for me to concentrate it's unfair that i have kept you waiting so long i'll reach you somehow

i was there standing next to me making use of my periphery i didn't catch her even noticing how soon she'd bring out the best in me pretty soon it was plain to see we needed one another's company tell me where this is going to lead look below it seems a long way down it's too late for us now it seems a long way down it's too late for us now we're alone, i'm in misery and i'm afraid what they'll think of me and the ones who looked up to me don't deserve this piece of history you don't know what i'm about to say no idea how your lives will change i had to watch your faces as you cried it seems a long way down it's too late for us now it seems a long way down but we can't turn back now
9.
you're waiting in line for some peace of mind let me spare you the despondency it's not what you know it's who you blow and i won't be a part of it so i've been disconnected and i've watched you try to embrace that lie you'll soon find that now all we need is a reason there's nothing left but our misfortune that we can claim it's not reserved for common people you're wasting your time standing in line you shouldn't want to be a part of it hold on to your independence and i've watched you try to embrace what you thought would give you some kind of purpose soon you'll find.... there's nothing left but our misfortune that we can claim it's not reserved for common people like you and me 'cause i have tried to take what's mine you'll soon find that now all we need is a reason

about

"The new music, by Scott Kimble, Don King, and now with drummer, Terry Wathen replacing the beat box of their earlier releases, has landed with a universal message. Within every struggle that we endure together, there are a million smaller, personal, heart-pounding, life-shaking struggles taking place.

Prevention vs. Intervention reflects such a struggle. You know from the first chord of the first song, “The Hands of Gridlock,” that what follows is a gritty depiction of something big, something important, and the band delivers. Their particular brand of alternative rock shakes the rafters in order to convey their reality, and it works.

Whether it’s the myth shattering, “Cue the Disclaimer” (stream below), telling one and all that life is mere smoke and mirrors, or Kimble’s tour de force, “Hopelessly Rehabilitated,” Terminus Victor is aging well." -Jeff Zolitor (excerpt from Smile Politely album review, 03/14/2013)

"The easiest way to describe them is plainly a wall of sound. These guys hit you like a tidal wave and when the song ends, you are left wanting more."
