American "To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all." / - Oscar Wilde
If Neverland wasn’t so far away, I think I’d leave this place And go for the day. Where the morning light shines, With the assurance of tomorrow, And the warm gentle breeze Blows with a calm disposition. But, there’s no sign of a sign Telling me which way to turn. There aren’t any paths to follow. If Neverland wasn’t so far away, I think I’d leave this place And go for the day. Where right here is just as good as over there, And no one's out searching for tomorrow

Neverland
Its easy to say we’ve been bitten by the travel bug. It’s not so easy to explain why. Maybe it’s an escape from our own reality. A promise from this world that there’s both immense beauty and incomprehensible heartbreak . Some call it yin and yang. It’s this balancing act of the entire planet that convinces us things actually work together, especially when our world seems to slowly be ripping apart. So, maybe that’s why we leave it. We pack a few pairs of zip off pants and leave everything we have known in search. In search for this balance of life. And it is in this search for something bigger, that we take what we have found and bring it back home. We bring home new friends, a new family, and a new way to see the world. Maybe it’s just a fresh perspective, but maybe it is so much more.

Travel Bug
The December winds are taking hold now leaves come back again in spring Cause maybe, I just never told you lately I can’t feel a thing We lived by the river in the summer flew our kites down one lane streets And just like every road less travelled Oh, I guess some path’s just don’t meet Cause every time I saw you, we were reckless Shivering and shaking on our toes And just like every winding corner I didn’t know how far the journey goes. far it goes ah ohhh but I don’t want to know Who will take you home? Who’ll take you home? Who’ll take you home Oh, Once I let you go Now you’re on someone else’s shoulders The winter skies are darker on my own Maybe, we will meet when we get older Maybe we won’t

Fly A Kite
Well, daylight passed and the dark surrounds And I was feelin' like a child when I disappeared down   into the rabbit’s hole who will go here unnamed I was looking for something peculiar A tea party for the verifiably insane I’ll begin at the beginning Dreaming as the days go by and when the world comes to an end In Wonderland I lie In Wonderland I lie ………........................... On that dewey may morning as I was watching roses painted red The  Queen of Hearts yelled with force, off with their heads Well if all is fair in love and war then I don't know what we are fighting for So, I’ll begin at the beginning Dreaming as the days go by and when the world comes to an end In Wonderland I lie In Wonderland I lie Nighttime passes and the lightness shines unapologetically slow held prisoner by the sands of time I came out the rabbit hole to a world left unchanged I was looking for something familiar a fallacy the same   Well if all is fair in love and war then I don't know what we are fighting for So, I’ll begin at the beginning Dreaming as the days go by and when the world comes to an end In Wonderland I lie In Wonderland I lie

Wonderland
When a bird's song is so pretty That it puts you at ease There are not so many willing To go and get the key.

The Bird's Song
I see the best minds of my generation, destroyed by unrequited admiration. All my friends have turned green. The worst case of madness that I have ever seen. With a hollow eye, iridescent glow of infinite expendable information.

Fame
There are many things that humans touch, in the sea, in the sky, and the land. There are many things that humans touch, and build, and travel in, and stand. The neon lights shine proud through the darkness. The planes fly high, distant sound.   The freeway buzz keeping humans moving on, Lives revolve on borrowed ground. There, through the crack in the steel grey cement, A dandylion delicately stands. It flourishes with a gentle force, that is stronger than anything touched by man. There are many things that humans touch, in the sea, in the sky, and the land. The one thing that no human can touch, is mother nature’s hand.

The Dandylion
Tired hands, green eyes Breathing out, white lies Soft lips, blue skies Small room, big world Lines straight, sight blurred Same love, new girl And she'll say He's stuck in a daydream Been in love since 18 Allibys breaking the seams But he'll say She's beautiful blankly Burning down gently Till she screams.

Same Love, New Girl
There’s something about the harmonica that gets me every time. Maybe, it’s the simplicity. Maybe, it’s the rhythm and blurred notes that form a hazy melody. Maybe, it’s the whistling of inherent sadness. But for me, it touches something deeper. Some intrinsic instinct that connects music to our souls. To me, the harmonica is a promise. A promise that anybody can learn something new and can make a little dent of a sound in this big universe. A promise that there is a whole world out there to see. Small hands, big hands, blue or wrinkled hands can play the harmonica. No matter where you are in your journey, the harmonica will always sound inescapably like a harmonica. Maybe that shiny, metal box is just the kind of pocket-sized assurance I need.

The Harmonica
5 o' clock on a Tuesday, 73 and sunny once again. The 10's crawl is killing the patrons, who fight for a glimpse of the end. The blur of insanity, reduced to a sigh. A hundred years of living keeps passing you by. It all goes bye. But I’ll stay. And I’ll fight, for the beauty and magic, to reach for the sky. And I’ll stay. And I’ll fight, the demons and angels That keep me alive tonight.
