I thought I knew you I thought we were on the same page About life and love and all of the above But it turns out, we weren’t even in the same library And you didn’t have the heart to tell me You have no courage Your mind swims in the deep end While your mouth dips a toe in the shallow You lack integrity You took what I told you and let it simmer In a *** of old stock that was never intended for consumption Your led me on Like the SAT when you left the difficult questions for the end Except this time you knew the answers but you couldn’t bare to tell me Should I be flattered? That you were trying to protect me from your feelings? I’m insulted that you didn’t think I could handle the truth And now, 5 years later I’ve learned how to fear love And how important it is to question intentions But that’s not what I was looking for So thank you For wasting my time

[You wasted my time]
If music were a person She would smile when I looked to her for hope He would hold me close when I was down And she would laugh with me when I needed it most If music defined the weather Sunshine would always follow me Rain would only fall when I wanted empathy And wind would carry me exactly where I needed to be If music weaved a pattern through my heart It would pump so intensely I couldn’t stand still It would glow like lava on the deepest rocks in the ocean And I would feel endlessly understood and fulfilled If music were a person I would never be lonely And I’m never alone

True metamorphosis Comes from deep desire To take an intention and light it on fire Shine your light on all things Illuminate the world around you Inspire intentions with your passionate truth

[Intentional]
Body and mind Your passion defines The moments behind And in front of you Chasing your dreams Through music and flow Sharing truth and love With your authentic soul Thoughtful and strong You swept me away And inspired my life In a beautiful way You manifest the future So bring it to life With the warmth of your smile And your genuine life

[Strong Soul, Tender Heart]
When you say something Is it fact? Or opinion? Do you apply judgement to a statement? Or speak to its true arrangement? There’s room for opinion In everything we say And every action we take Could be taken another way One way to reduce stress And increase our chance of success Speak the truth when you describe The moments of our existence Assumptions are one of our habits They can feel efficient and real But no one is a mind-reader There’s little hope for that kind of ego Request truth Advocate for honesty Inquire about reality Desire integrity It’s our human right It’s the key to life

[Opinion or Fact]
You can fake a smile And you can fake a cry But when you fake a statistic People can die Don’t pretend like you know it all Or like no one will notice Be authentic and diligent Then you’ll gain our trust

[A message to Trump]
Over and over I’ve become a soldier These moments, they solder My heart to my head When the two become separate Things become desperate Life starts to feel like **** Gravity, like lead Then come the butterflies Flipping me over Rekindling the smolder Alive, not dead When you feel the flip flop Don’t waste it on prim and proper Let love make you drip drop All over your bed

When physical pain translates to mental strain There’s little you can do to abstain From the hold it takes over your soul Especially when your body is your temple, your stronghold Worship it like there is nothing better Take care, and let it support you forever The mental withdrawal from the physical crawl There’s nothing to do but let it heal, or stall It’s your choice, as always, to take it or fall Deep into the darkness, it was there after all Choose your fate, it’s personal responsibility We all have to face it eventually If you choose not to care, you can live with it Watch as your friends move beyond the **** Leave you behind, because why would they sit And wait for you to make the commit Every moment, right now, that’s your agenda Live for it, take it back, life is full of splendor

[Pain]
Not if I die, but when Not why I fall, but how I land Not how I talk, but what I say Not where I go, but how I get there Life is about the journey Don’t forget it Everyday is another opportunity Don’t regret it
