Wandering and Wondering
04:05
|
|
||
I close my eyes and everything is gone
I wander off and nothing is wrong
Oh I wish I could be all that I wanted
And Knock aside all the moments taunted
I open my eyes and here I am
Obstacles loom and problems still stand.
I want to hold on but I am afraid to let go
I want to move on but I need to know
Wish I could dock from time's forward flow
Walk by my feet and not by my arm's row
Sick of waiting for what's in store
I want it all and then some more
So here I am and there I'll be
Flying chained then soaring free.

Rediscover
04:03
|
|

I can't feel it
It as in anything
The tongue of a smoker
The memory of a thing
Close my eyes
To let it be heard
Constant lack of silence
With few unshared words
Ring ring go my ambitions
Stringless enjoyment has me on hold
Living near the equator of other's lives
But damn do I still feel cold
What was that? Oh you again
I had forgotten to shut the door
You caught me while I wasn't cleaning
And pointed out the floor
For that below is what holds me up
My feet upon its shoulders
Pack the bags we're going camping
Leaving home like soldiers
Well bye bye now, I'll see you later
But not when I want to
Blissful lost and bitter found
The feeling is born anew

Dues of the Undercharged
04:40
|
|
||
Marked with the sun's presence
Basking in the wants of others
Thank you for color coding yourself
I know who with not to bother
Twiddling your phone when comfort's absent
Speaking just to feel heard
Put yourself alone with you
Drive yourself absurd
A system of those who depend upon other's
Nods, glances and smiles
All in desire but none for giving
Stock the validation in piles
Give to them all they desire
For as little as they have to return
Hide your interest and sugar coat the coating
They've got nothing to earn
Here's the list, now check it off
Leave yourself by the door so they won't scoff
Become everybody's favorite nobody
Open up to the nothingness
Strapped through volunteering
To decline and changing fads
Holistic beauty and peace aside
The has beens have never had

Maybe
03:43

Maybe you're just beautiful
With potential around your neck
Moments seem to call your name
In your presence they want to be kept
Maybe you're just pretty
With smiles and fingers of gold
Feels like everything you touch
Is a treasure to behold
Maybe you're just better
Than those other girls around
Could be what I'm looking for
Is of yet to be found
Maybe you're just what I think I need
The cure to all the woes
But if this door isn't opening
Can it please now tightly close
Maybe I'm just a fool
With a dream inside my heart
Your life's actors have been cast
and I do not have a part
Maybe you're just beautiful
With potential around your neck
Baby, our ship has sailed
But I'm still glad we met

Not Like Before
04:23
|
|
||
One step out
But not two in
Nothing's like
It was before
Open up
Without the close
Not enough
I want some more
Horizon's mountains
Were only hills
The whole time
Didn't try the door
What a bounty
Phoenix ashes
How'd I get by
Being so poor
This feeling now
Abrupt regret
The woulds and coulds
Make me sore
One step out
But not two in
Nothing's like
It was before
Used "Knockin on Heaven's Door" by Bob Dylan's chord progression

Oh and Wouldn't You Know
04:23
|
|
||
Oh and wouldn't you know
I had to sit and watch us go
Drifting out with the tide's recession
Unspoken words, withheld confession
Oh and wouldn't you know
Time, it went so slow
Moments were in my fist clenched
But time it came and time it went
Oh and wouldn't you know
Neither of us would believe it so
This moment forever but there's the end
Watch the smile twist and bend
Oh and wouldn't you know
Can't say yes but won't say no
What is anything but nearly over
Abiding by the four leaf clover
Yet this fault isn't of mine
It ain't me wasting time
But yet I hate how I tease
Seems like I can't help but please
Oh and wouldn't you know
Your hearts harvest is not your own
You took it all and then some more
When I leave let's close this door
Oh and now you know
I hope I end up where I go
Dreams alive and a happiness that comes true
It hasn't been nice knowing you

The Court of Camelot
04:51
|
|

See the King sit on his throne
Lovers love and no one groans
Accompanied by his trusty hand
A lordship throughout all the land
Protect me with your soldiers
Give to all warm shoulders
When hunting for that boar of fun
Come to him, he's got some
The Queen lies nearby, batting an eye
Scoffing at who she pleases
As she does, not just cause
Some water for her Jesus
The hand of the Queen is to be seen
With her and always around her
She brings him to speak, to tell off the weak
Her thoughts no longer wander
Lords from around come to court
Requesting help with gold to export
Seek from him profit, loose from him trust
Do what you want but be who you must
A jester comes along
Humor in heart
Give to them laughter
Aim with a dart
Ah, the King likes
But the Queen's seen better.
Send him away
She says in a letter
Yet the King does as the King wants
Having some fun and fending the taunts
The jester is one of fire and ice
Moments of fun and feelings of dice
Think what you want but say what you need to
Part with but goodness as they will like you
Watch what you're doing but have a good time
Don't skip the moments just wait for a rhyme
So off from the night
It was as it could be
On lives the kingdom
Until just history

A World Shoulderless
03:44
|
|
||
I want to crack a smile
But not because I'm cracked
Thrown far enough ahead
Nothing seen when looking back
I want to be a happy
That wouldn't hold me back
Nothing to forget when
I remember why I laugh
When the world lives shoulderless
Tie me down - I'll float.
Conditions with no home to have
No bridge over my moat
Life, you weigh too much
What have you been eating
Life, what's your problem
Instinctually beating
Could there be a reason
Something to respond "Oh"
For now it's going to be
Can't say it isn't so
Tarp the mind, there's the rain
Came in past, comes again
I'll hold my breath, just say when
Down under then up again.

Splash
02:59

Even though life may give you lemons,
Sometimes it's hard to make lemonade.
The good things, they don't last long enough
And the regrettables resist the fade
A kiss of sweetness on my tongue
As the lemons rush to my aid
Too much though, and I'm left burned
Wondering how pain is happiness made
Find the right orchard
And a better tree
Grab too many lemons
And send them to me
Refrain from dissection
Take notes and let it be
Have help with the squeezing
But of help, be free
Add some water to make it last
And let plainness feel a splash
Of the sweetness you've found and live to hold
Let it make you warm when you're feeling cold
MIsfortune usually does not knock
Mistakes recalled solo, though of a flock
The hardest choices are when you have to know
With white on vacation and black a no show
So lemons though,
Those building blocks forgotten
Oh how do we want
A batch that doesn't rotten
Now grab a glass and take a drink
Let each drop taste of an always
When summer lemons give you life
Make their consumption rule all days

To the Gods
04:03
|
|

I'm feeling down, face with a frown
Then I hear this noise
Sounds of plucks and strums
These men with their toys
I don't know what they're playing
But I hear what they're saying
And this feeling I get
It has yet to be met
Moments and wisdoms
Crystallized in song
They make me feel alright
When the world feels all wrong
Not english or spanish
Can't be written in full
But hear that James' solo
With a black hole's pull
Don't give me a prayer
Just give me a note
I'll make you a playlist
Ten times Noah's boat
Find me an instrument
Doesn't have to have mods
Sunday school's in session
I want to play to the gods

The Swirls
03:00
|
|
||
Happening so fast
Memories to last
Mistakes set in cast
The winds on the mast
See your life stand up and high
And it's going for a swirl
Try to control by and by
But it's going for a whirl
Feel the wind of circumstance
Compel you, propel you
Try to stop and take a stand
It fell you, I tell you
That swirl you can as swirl you might
Know that nothing is truly right
Each pinch of sugar spiked with spite
No wound of black without white's bite
Close your eyes and there it went
Time was borrowed and time was spent
Life's tomorrow is hours new
Maybe then time won't flower blue
The wind dies down but the swirls are coming
A gentle air's kiss and a bee's hum buzzing
Hold on and stay strong for it's all you can do
Picture a future you'd want to claim you
As to not bleed blue
For it's all you can do
As to not need true
For it's all you can do

Mismatched
02:15

Mismatched
Detached
Together apart once more
Mind latched
This batch?
I don't know where I feel sore
Round keys
Square pegs
I want but it won't go in
Mind begs
Whole eggs
Knock knock, are you broken.
Mind lost
Who's boss
Where am I within myself
Map tossed
Time's cost
Too many books on my shelves
Reading
Needing
A sun from which to revolve
Turning
Yearning
This time from which I evolve
Mismatched
Detached
Together apart once more

My Handleless Cup
05:04
|
|
||
And the bells they go ringing
And my mind keeps on singing
Let me be free, Let me be me
I keep on turning but give me the re
Come out to play, I'll shake the string
Bring out the day, I'll push the swing
Knock Knock, where am I
And who am I to you
I want to solve the mystery
So lead me on, clue by clue
And the bells, they go ringing
And my mind keeps on singing
Through the halls of this soul of mine
Cracks and peels but I'll be just fine
Dishes pile up, Chores erupt
Through this is the how, my handleless cup
And the bells, they go ringing
And my mind keeps on singing
May my present be unwrapped
With hope pouring from my taps
Must learn how to follow myself
This is the now, my sleepless health
Still twisting, still turning
Still yearning, still burning
