Hey put something on
It’s too quiet and I need to ease my troubled mind
Come on please
Make it noisy make it loud
Speak to me and
Tear at my heart strings
Just want to
Wrap myself
In a blanket of your love
And your pain
No not that one
With the memories
Burned into my brain
Want to scream
Can only see the past
Where am I and
What does it all mean
Stolen my
Favorite songs
And I want them back
Entwined in my mind
Betwixt my thoughts
Deeper still until the core of it is wrought
It pounds my head
With thoughts that I don’t want to
Live again
Just want the intended feelings
As I breathe in that smoky sound
It clouds my eyes just like a malformed metaphor
And I wish that I could not be
The one staring back through the haze
Embarrassing
Mortifying
Tremendously lame
And I guess that’s how it goes

Looking for deer
Through the night
Sure am thankful for
Those warm headlights
Through the trees
Our gazes drift
Silently wondering if
This nice time we’re having will ever come to an end
Endless road
We glide down
Ensnared by the trance
Passing without a sound
Pothole laden
Mucks it up
Think I need some air
Would you like some coffee
I think I could use some too
Now filled with junk we head out
Along our merry way
I think we should turn around
There will be another day
More time to sit and stare
And waste our time away
We could go anywhere
Maybe we will someday
See the people
Passing by
What are they doing
Interrupting our time
Burst the bubble
The world falls apart
Magic fades
Into the dark
The sky screams
Droplets pound
Light flashing
With a sound
obfuscation
Refraction
Just guessing
That we’re done
Pull in
Blank stare
Ahead
Turn down
The sound now
The thoughts
Better left
Unsaid
Please just
Don’t go
now

The hole
In the sun increasing
Plasma flowing over it
Don’t know how plasma moves
Don’t really care
The eye
in the sky falling
Towards the giant splinter
That pierces through everything
With giant chunks of meat
River flowing
Ferryman stands
In his little boat
Better get a quarter
From your pocket
Did you make change
Take in the sights
They might be
The last you see
But don’t worry
If you fail
You’re already where you need to be
Down down down
Down down
Down
Down down down
Down
Down
Down down down down down down
Down
Down
The torch
Burning everlasting
Long as gas' a flowin’
Trying to remember
When it lost all it’s fear
The rock
rolling in the garden
Passing by the rabbit
Looking for the dog
Who will never come
Standing in a darkened bar
Denying death
Man comes over says you’re right
You can go on
Walking through eternity
Just looking for anything
Maybe even do some fucked up shit
And move on
Move on
Move on
And move on
Move on
Move on
And move on move on move on
Move on
And move on

Please tell me if I am okay
I think that I might not be today
Please tell me if it’s a good shade
Of red painted on my face
Please tell me if there is a way
To leave because I really can’t stay
Please just walk and leave me sitting here
I think I just need to be alone
And I know the heart beats slow
But it feels so fast
And I know the heart beats slow
But it feels so fast
Put the finger to the lips
Feel it bumping
Through my veins
Feels exactly like you’d expect it
Hey can you take a look at my shirt
It feels like I’m sweating through
Hey can you take a look at my hair
It has been an especially windy day
Hey can you please hold on to this thing
I need my hand to make a little change
Hey I just want to say sorry
I know I ain’t being very fun right now
And as the sun goes down
The mind fogs up
And as the sun goes down
The mind fogs up
This is when I know
I am alive
Even though I know
It takes it’s tole on you
Just hold me to the things I talk about
I know I don’t take my own advice
Just hold me to the things that come out my mouth
I know I am massive hypocrite
Just know that I try to shape my life
I know I ain’t doing so great
Just know that I feel every pain
Every failure is my personal badge of shame
And I know the song goes on
The song goes on
Yeah I know the song goes on
Right now
And I know the song goes on
The song goes on
Yeah I know the song goes on
RIght now
And I know the song goes on
The song goes on
Yeah I know the song goes on
Right now
And I know the song goes on
The song goes on
Yeah I know the song goes on
Right now
And I know the song goes on
The song goes on
Yeah I know the song
Is ending now

*sigh*
It’s kind of like uh
I’m back outside
Like around the campfire
That’s really a tv in an apartment building
Or maybe a dormitory
Just listening to the crackling
As I watch the flames
That comes from the speakers
And we sit there and uh
You know we’re just with each other we’re not uh
We’re not really doing anything in particular
Um
We had
We had just done something earlier and uh
You know now we’re just kind of just being
And uh
You know having uh
being able to make music during it is very nice
There’s uh
*laugh*
It’s kind of like having uh
Like you’re not really playing for an audience but you kind of are
And no one claps but no one tells you to stop either
And uh
You know like when uh
When I’m alone it’s uh
It’s a little different I guess
But uh
Yeah
*hums*
But uh
Sometimes times like that just feel like a waste
But uh
I think it’s something we all really need
In a way
I think
I think we all like it
Just uh
I guess just not being alone really
*sigh*
Can be nice though
I think it’s uh, bout time to get back to it though

I feel okay
I know that’s just what people say
Gotta get these thoughts outta my head
Stop them crashing into me
Just filling me up
And tearing me down
And taking my life from me
Mania is gone
Now I feel so sullen and withdrawn
The highs and lows have all left
And I’m standing alone again
Trying to fight off these disturbing thoughts
Until the bitter end
Once the seas were high
And the waves are crashing down
Now the waters calm
And there is no
Land
In sight
And
I don’t mind
Spend my time just wondering why
I can’t seem to think straight
If I could just find the time
To straighten my brain
Cuz all the rivers have run dry
The silt has washed away
I don’t think anything will grow here again
And all my thoughts just turn to shit
As I go down the walkway
Overwhelmed with the entropy of it all
So I go
Do do do do do
Do do do do do
Do do do do do
Do do do do do
Maybe there’s some hope
Some forgotten road
Rain down my face
Dirt in my soles
Train has broken down
Guess I’ll turn around
I don’t even mind
Happens all the time
I said happens all the time
Cuz there are some things
You can’t change
And I’m wondering
If it could be that I
Like bringing myself down
All the way to the ground

Floating
Out in the void
Jacked in
With my new toys
Feeling
Oh so alive
Body
Responds in kind
Cuz it’s been a few years
Since I felt the light shine
Through my long night
And all that time that I spent
In my little box
Is out of sight
See the face
Passing by
Watch it turn
Frozen Eyes
It’s not you
How could it be
My mind
Burning
With all the thoughts
Memories
Swelling
Can’t cover up
Oh man just
Gotta get another taste
Want to feel
Come on man just
One more time
Make it real
Those flashing lights
Hypnotising
Those unmapped sprites
Mesomorizing
Heart pounding and
Hands sweating and
All there is
Is just this
Through bloodshot eyes I peer
Where are we
Don’t even know
Where else I would be
But tonight I
Want you to know
That I am surely here
Flip on flip on
Into your eyes
Flip off flip off
To my demise
Everything’s been said
Except goodbye
No words are needed now
They no longer apply
Won’t be seeing you again
And that’s not right
But everything has been said
Except good
Except goodbye

Yet Again (Sleep Song)
03:21
|
|||
It’s been dark for so long
Where has the time gone
The horizon creeps
And there go the sheep
Can’t believe this is happening again
It drives me up the walls
Noiselessly I move around and sigh
Get ready for a hellish time
The colors return
Oh my how they burn
But this is nothing new
Still so much more to get through
Thoughts seem so hard to grab
And then the eyelids drop
You gotta watch out it comes in waves so fight
At least until a quarter to nine
Standing
Don’t want to
Be here
Just want to
Fade
Into the
Blind spot
Of your eyes
Your roaming eyes
The lines bulge and change
Never quite the same
Think you’d get
Used to it
What was that I saw
Could it be moth
Oh wait it’s
Just my hair
Cuz even if I said goodnight
Don’t know who I’d be foolin
Even I could try
To explain how our idea of time
Is a constructed lie
Brought on by
The need to be right
And if it’s wrong
Oppress it till it’s gone
Freedom in insanity
Might be the place to be
But not this way
Come on get it straight
Watch the path you take

I wake up
On the phone
Bagels come
I make noise
As you read
Life is nice
What shall we do
There is so much
Sleep no more
Or stay home
Sit with you
Maybe Doctor Who
But it doesn’t matter at all
As long as my skin does not crawl
And it never does
When I am with you
And as the mania explodes
You slap it down till it grows old
And freezes from it’s low energy
And freezes from it’s low energy
Seattle
Montreal
London Town
There is your face
Behind my eyes
Seeping through
In Bed Stuy
Where we lie
Dreaming
But home is where
I can say
Stupid shit to you
And watching you create
Elates my heart to a place
That I didn’t even know could be
The color forms
The lines and more
The ideas crawling up the shore
From the seas of my favorite mind
From the seas of my favorite mind
All the nights
Spent apart
In the dark
The tone chimes
Lights up the night
Soothes the wound
Walking down
The same old road
Feels so weird
But sometimes it’s alright
Remembering
Moths flying around the light
The lamp post that stands outside
As Mr Colton plays his silly song
The coach won’t stop falling apart
Charybdis opens up it’s jaw
I try to be the fig as you fall
I try to be the fig as you fall
Thinking how
Life is nice

Hey so uh

It’s kind of been a while and uh

I’m busy and uh

We’ll figure it out some time right?
Cuz uh
But uh
You know uh I’ll let you get going and everything
But uh
You know we should figure that out soon
So yeah
So goodbye my friend
It has been nice to see you again
And I hope it won’t be long
To see you again before we’re gone
Cuz it’s been so long since I’ve
Spoken to you
Just know that I’m still
Thinking of you
So goodbye my friend
It has been nice to see you again
And I hope it won’t be long
To see you again before we’re gone
All the time and the stories that I’ve told
Well I try not to lie and I hope I can count on you to do the same
And it is hard to see you again
Lately I just feel bad watching you go knowing it all has to come to an end
So goodbye my friend
It has been nice to see you again
And I hope it won’t be long
To see you again before we’re gone
So goodbye my friend
Goodbye my friend
Goodbye my friend
Goodbye my friend
See you next time
