Sunny
05:11
|
|||
all out of focus
i’m in the stars
i didn’t notice
fixated on the scars
like a fugitive
on the run
every disappointment
led me to the sun
and you ran
and you ran
with it
be that as it may
i wish to walk
this earth
unscathed
trade in
the glitter soles
embrace
the soil
i wish to walk
these earthen halls
unscathed
trade in
these glittered soles
embrace
the soil
be that as it may
i wish to walk
this earth
unscathed
trade in
the glitter soles
embrace
the soil
faults in the optimist
can’t deny the pain
lights up the nihilist
suffering in vain
i was delusional
buying into all
the surface shit
i was sold

Sailboating
05:12
|
|||
you’re running
out of time
to make it right
for yourself
you're chasing
after chances
to make it right
for everyone else
and you will never sort it right
because every time you get it
you throw it away
you’ll wear yourself out
trying to
hide from
your shadow
you wear the mask
you’ve seen the glass
it’s all you have
to save yourself
and this will never make it right
because every time you get it
you run it away
you’re running
out of time
to make it right
for yourself
your boat has sailed
you stood and watched
it’s all gone
before your eyes
that boat has sailed

Sleeping Animals
03:55
|
|||
our children’s children
roam along
stripped of their agency
but still breathing
like sleeping animals
our children’s children
roam along
right as rain
posh as peonies
and these steel scented creatures
roam along
of their own volition
ungodly
like sleeping animals
neither superior
nor inferior
a fleet of roamers
feeding off love
the intentions
are there
festering
in a deep sleep

Mermaid
04:36
|
|||
why don’t you call me
we could be friends
comets and colors
you don’t understand
your best is the worst
you're my mermaid
the tickle of a tear
makes you human
while the surface blinds us
from cutting all ties
and drifting away
your worst is the best
you're my mermaid

The Mirror
04:41
|
|||
these dreams
i’ve been having
gave way to doubts
of simple living
the frequency
is so unclear
becomes static
when you are near
i needed you then
like i need you now
i wanted to tell you
but i didn’t know how
i got lost in all i wanted
i needed you then
like i need you now
i wanted to tell you
but i didn’t know how
this is the mirror i was afraid of
when i was locked up
you were locked out
i promise
i’m better now
they keep telling me
to let it go
but i have to
let you know
i needed you then
like i need you now
i wanted to tell you
but i didn’t know how
i got lost in all i wanted
i needed you then
like i need you now
i wanted to tell you
but i didn’t know how
this is the mirror i was afraid of
i promise to let you in next time…next time

Encompass
06:58
|
|||
i will join you
all will be released
we’ll float
not as bad as it seems
encompass everything
offered up
undeniably
extended yourself
yet got nothing
in return
encompass everything
every note you couldn't hear
every picture so much clearer
for what the sun can’t erase
i wish you well
forgive us, forgive
forgiveness granted

New Grievances
06:08
|
|||
you learn a language
to confide in your ghosts
i can’t compete with them
these shadow puppets
your old habits
are my new grievances
every time i had my back turned
you let the sadist take the wheel
greedy vampire
quite the glutton for pain
your old habits
are my new grievances
you‘ve paid your misery forward
now your mask is wearing out
predation for validation
beyond recognition
your old habits
are my new grievances
in a dilapidated stairwell
a fire brings us home
there’s strength in numbers
now serenity
marc my words
it’s a shame you have to wake up
and still be you
living with the things you’ve done
and the things you’ll do

Oxygenate
04:04
|
|||
in a white flash
i’ve returned
to the atom fields
i’ve returned
to finish what I started
but at what cost?
in a white flash
a sunny disposition
became
an antiquated notion
in a white flash
the catalyst
became
the culprit
for
deep breaths
oxygenate this man
oxygenate this plan
oxygenate this man
oxygenate this land
deep breaths
|

we swim
in distant seas
yet we feel
the same heartbeat
we know
it’ll never happen
it’s too late
to start again
we wait it out
on a desert bench
never knowing when
the tide will come
we know
it will never happen
it’s too late
to start again
we sit under
the same moon
cursing
our separate wounds
we know
it will never happen
it all ended
too soon
i won’t allow this
to suppress our joy
so keen on laws
to inflict suffer
i won’t let this
desecrate it all
let’s wash ourselves of
temptation to suffer

Catatonia
02:48
|
|||
some are born
to endless night
it’s only a matter of time
and nothing else
until we are
incapacitated
until we are
senile
until we are
catatonic
until we are
taciturn
til then….
be great
for all to notice
to destroy
be small
and escape
the intolerant great
until we are
incapacitated
until we are
senile
until we are
catatonic
until we are
taciturn
til then….

Cloaked
04:32
|
|||
waking up suddenly
during the matinee
to resignation
one for the books
out of nowhere
it grew
cloaked from the root
it’s the elephant in the room
it’s the ringing in your ears
it’s all you have
it’s all you have
its a deadly game we play
but we do it all the time
it’s bound to break
somewhere, someday
and it’s a struggle
to take the higher road
so you go
lonely downtown walking
to round up the pity party
you escaped
by the skin of your teeth
out of nowhere it grew
cloaked from the root
out of nowhere
it's cloaked

Synchronicity
04:09
|
|||
no one’s going to read what you say
no one’s going to hear you anyway
it’s bound to fall on deaf ears
a reception of blank stares
but we tried to make an effort
for synchronicity
we reached and we failed
our synchronicity
but we tried to make an effort
for synchronicity
we reached but couldn’t get to
a synchronicity
you don’t get it
it’s right behind you
sometimes always
sometimes never
breathing down your neck
but you wouldn’t know it
sometimes always
sometimes never
but we tried to make an effort
for synchronicity
we reached and we failed
our synchronicity
turn around
look up
turn around
look down
to be in sync with all
to be in sync with you
to be synched with you
to be synched with all

A Necessary Lesson
04:19
|
|||
by the time
i was at the deep end
you decided
you were done
you say you want it
but you don’t
i never asked you
to open doors
you’ve done enough
walked me into flames
you’ve done enough
i had my ignorance to blame
but it was needed
the setting sun
it had to happen
a necessary lesson
did i internalize too much?
should i have expressed more?
would it have scared you?
is my realness and truth
what we needed?
my biggest fault
was getting
wrapped up
and carried away
in your false promises
to fix it
to make it better

A Light in a Loss.
04:53
|
|||
the sky was black
the silver linings
didn’t shine bright enough
drowning in a shallow pool
is where it all went wrong
looking up the meaning
to every song
a let go is in order
like the skin we shed
distant not forgotten
as to not repeat our mistakes
again
things are meant to be
the things you said
things are meant to be
stay put
help is on the way
if something is awry
and nothing is alright
just take it in stride
don’t push it aside
we’ll get there tonight
stumble as you walk
and fumble with the lock
everything is too dark
some weird culture shock
in a sea of grey glows a white dot
miss it in the morning
miss it in the evening
it’s a delicate thing, a delicate thing
the skeptics are only pretending
kisses where it counts
and touches all around
the scene fades out
white noise from the crowd
the loss outweighed by what was found
