Sleep
Relax
Chill
Let the rush of everyday life go
Crack a beer
Muster a smile
Melt hours for a while
In your hammock
without a care
Don’t you feel relief
For a change

Ever want to detach
Just be yourself
For a change
Come to me
Emotionally available
Internally empty

******* to ****
Is ******* pointless
This is a truth
That I’ve believed for so long
But I’ll go till I hit
Rock bottom

You can’t feel fulfilled
Until you lose yourself
Immunity doesn’t exist
Until you need a prescription

Loneliness is not an  ultimatum
Always wine and dine
Before you lay
Cause when you lay
Without getting laid
And sleep together
It’s a date
That’s a date she’s to remember

Wake and prepare breakfast
Think fast
Cause you know
Your cooking isn’t up to par
Doesn’t matter
You’ll be at the bar
With a mamosa before long

You’re deinking to celebrate
The fact that you beat
The notion and stereotype
That you **** for its sake
you don’t feel fake
Merely empty
Cause she left

But you’ll move on
You romanceced your way into bed
And didn’t succumb to your libido
A victory unto itself

Empty pulpits
It’s 5:30 on Saturday
People are praying at the pub
Giving sermons and political manifestos

Dingy hotel rooms
Mold pieces of a character
The scent of lavender and alcohol
The party never ends

I’m watching through
The watch towers scope
I’m not a parent
But it’s apparent
Tonight, I’m a helicopter

Skeletons in your closet
Are tearing ligaments
On tectonic plates
Now we’re in balance
Just don’t dance on the tightrope
Asking questions walking on coals
1000 degrees and rising

Groveling in his past mistakes
A vagabond helplessly searches
For direction and forgiveness
To absolve and adjudicate
His past wrong doing
He confessed to a priest
Who let him know he was eschewed
He said " Forgive me father for I know not what to do"
" My son" replied the priest with much valor and pride " I could tell you anything but I can't guarantee you'll like it or abide by it.

Your moral compass is lacking
Let's start there
You're living in an ostracized planet
Where no one can care
Your morals are allegory of a life lived in want
Your ethics and your standards of life won't assuage the need for self growth"

" So you're saying that in order to gain the fecundity in life I wish to see I need to stick to my morals and let anyone change me, never yield to learning on life's sequestered journey”

“ Well, now you’re starting to get it”

Believing politicians
Believing in just cause
Leaves us stagnant
Brain thirsting
Knowledge is on metapuse

Do we know no better
Have we not learned
To elect to have a conteneous diagloue

Sophisticated
Lumineer
Ultimate Truth Seeker

Strong and independent
Yet humble and reserved
Attraction by way of mystery

Start
light
Ubiquitous
Transmitter
The strength to go on despite everything

Stoic
Lovely
ultimate true

Free-spirited and loose

I love you
As you are
As yourself

I’m not sure if this’ll work
But I know that
I have to try
I’m not sure if this’ll work
But I’ll continue
To vie

Legacy
Isn’t me
I’m an amphorus
shape shifting celestial paragon
And I’m here
So lend me your ear

I bring you a show
Without cynicism
I’m bringing  you flavor
Of the year
Once you taste em
You’ll only want more

Legacy
Isn’t me
I’m an amphorus
shape shifting celestial paragon
And I’m here
So lend me your ear

Smoke.... The essence of dissolving into thin air
Something... That lived before your God was conceived
An entity
That existed before space existed
  
Something older than time
That no one can time
This time.... Time has no barrier
Expanded... But our minds are made up
Close mindedness.... A sickness older than time

Rise up and fight
Comrades in arms
Unify to disarm
The powers that be
Through bloodshed
And protest we shall prevail
No longer shall we suffer
Under the spell of falsehoods
Or empty promises

We’ll fight
The kremlin
Till death due us part
Russia shall be free

Rejoice
In your existence
The birth of the pure
Saccharine *******
You won’t devour
Rise up ‘guest
The arm of the state
The ones that never fed
Or gave a ****

Through the death of
Forbearers we’ve grown stronger
Unified in the cause
Of autonomy
The hammer and sickle
Of past trepidation
Have only served to make
Us stronget

The exchange
Of words, thoughts and feelings
Should not be censored.
I’m so tired of not talking to you
That it’s driving me insane

It’s a dangerous game I’m playing
Going against everything I know
If I could think about you a little less
Than I could entertain the thought

Friendship is a two-way deal
You’ve got to engage
Even though I do more often than not
And it’s not that I can’t take a hint
But nothing we’ve been through
Draws a conclusion that a hint needs to
Be taken

Leave me out of the spotlight
Make me a shadow
I’m more than ready
To be a footnote

So much fear
Musics an outlet
If I were to blow up
I’d be ousted

Conversations
Interviews
TMZ, tainted news
Leave me out
Of the public eye
I don’t wanna be famous

I hope this song goes
To the top
My message will be heard
I’ll sign a million autographs
Be a connection in social media
Make us trend
I’ll be your friend
Just let it end there

I don’t wanna be famous
I don’t wanna be famous
I don’t wanna be famous
I don’t wanna be famous

I’m a humble *******
Not an insolent *******
I don’t follow your trends
I’m not looking to make friends
Or amends
Anything I say can
Be taken however
By whoever

But lest you forget
That these are merely words
And this is music
Open to interpretation
Around the nation
Across radio stations
I’m telling you
I won’t do a *******
Interview

I don’t wanna be famous
I don’t wanna be famous
I don’t wanna be famous
I don’t wanna be famous

Summers here
heat is up
Disease Is fought
We’ve been caged
Long enough

A cry of lust
Is a cry for youth
Never before has spring been viewed
With such seasonal Indifference

What shouldn’t be is
What is right now
A present state
Of discontent
A feeling typically reserved
For winter is met by the glorious summer
And a passionate high
Let loose our lust
Where the cages this viruses creates doth rust

I left you
And I feel no regret
It’s not worth
Seeing you upset

I saved your life
But you must save yourself
Cause girl, when all is said and done
I’ll be back one day

Till than you take care

A hit below the belt
just so it’s felt
You’re a cynical *******
I’ll fight back with my words instead
Get this message
I won’t back down
I’ll flaunt victory
And buy you a round after the fact
We’ll get to fighting
It’ll be over fast
Let’s go have another, eh

Hotwired
For your fuse
Hardwired
To live fast
Burning petrol
Yeah, midnight oil
Till the gas lights fuming

The end of of days
Don’t seem so bad
When the nights are so long

Fusing
Under
Crimson
Kingdoms
In
Nonstop
Gorgeous
Serenity

Call it a holiday
Ain’t no hallow day
Just

Fusing
Under
Crimson
Kingdoms
In
Nonstop
Gorgeous
Serenity

Ian’s telling jokes again
Race Anderson is laughing
Despite his lack of understanding
Moonshiners have a way of cutting their teeth
on hand-me-down drinks to warm up
my so called friends never
Pick up the bill
Pretty soon
I’m gonna need a lone shark
And an IOU
I’ll pay off our tabs
in fifty years time

Beauty has a name
no need for  fame
Just a dame
Of unparalleled intricacy

Catch the nuances
In a jar
And save them  from later
If you forget a single thing
You’ll be ******

Trust me when i say
Every words a note
If you stagger or faulter
You’ll begin to drown

Beauty has a name
no need for  fame
Just a dame
Of unparalleled intricacy

Laced with syntax
Rhyming gets me high
Like ecstasy
Tripping on the the x
Factor, factoring equations
Analyzing every outcome
Call me dumb
Not under the gun
Having fun

Dial 9-1...
Im the one
living life
Without strife
You found God
I found the bar
I will steal your girl
And buy you a bourbon
Hast you learnt
She hit on me
Put a ring on it next time
I’m not responsible for your heartbreak
When I didn’t know
I won’t call her *** though
That’s low
And bro
Your lowest ebb has come
Learn from this

The marionettes dance
In synchronicity they look
Without regard to clairvoyance
In this world

Permanence isn’t given
You better start living
Stop existing in mere  memory
Life is present tense

Stop
Drop
Cop it
Conversations aren’t bits
Tantalizing me with empty promises
Of what could be
Only for me to find myself in a situation
Where I’m forcing you to engage
Despite knowing that that’s not healthy
Is this disparate... perhaps
Am I? No

I’m overthinking
Trying to understand women
You will never ein

A hangovers
A confession
Of the night before
But I live without regret
( live without regret)

Philosophers say
We ebb and flow
According to
Certain principles
(And moral standards)

I’m young
and Intelligent
I just play the
Fallout boy
  I’m innocent
Till proven otherwise
Leave me
Alone

Go your own way
Here I’ll stay
I’m a loner
I don’t need anyone
Right or wrong
I’ll never know
Until I use
Best judgement

On mind and soul
You’ll never know
Just how much this
Takes a toll

You can lead as many lives as you want
But you only die once
Who’s the memory left to?
Those in mourning
Or your spirit
Now free and meandering?
Because thoughts in passing
Are nothing more than
The passing of thoughts
That build a greater shared experience

Don’t mourn a loss
Gain closure in solace
Doves can fly too close to the sun
But passion fuels strength and notion

Life begins
Where it ends
And I tell you my friends
There’s no way to abort the mission
Transgressions of the heart
Passions of the minds
Never seem to balance

What is a human being
Defined scientifically
when proportions don’t seem to add up
What’s righteous and right
Depends on disposition
As if that **** ever mattered

What is a human being
Defined emotionally
When the stability of emotions
Isn’t always stable

A heartbeat can be measured
A pulse can be noted
But when are we truly living

The typical day
And typical night
Wake up late
And stay out late
Baby let me roll of your fingers
Like a joint
Let me be your genie
And fulfill your fantasies
Let me smear your mascara
Relax...
we’ll greet the morning as one
The sun smiles as we go our own way
Only to be led back again
Into the others arms

Whatever it means
For better or worse
We’re cursed to rehearse
Tradition and habit
Until we
Become products of circumstance


Robots
We aren’t
People, we are
Can’t wait
For life to happen
Because time waits for no one

Live while you can
Do what you must
Whatever feels natural
We may as well have fun

Routines and roulette
Time is your debt
Pay your fine
you’ll be fine
Dry your tears
With ****** Kleenexes
And rose-tinted glasses
And never kiss any *****!

Live while you can
Do what you must
Whatever feels natural
We may as well have fun

Young people
Have the most sage wisdom
Nativity is bliss

The moon lights a kiss
And a right of passage
You need fear your mistakes
Indulge in your
imperfections


Live while you can
Do what you must
Whatever feels natural
We may as well have fun

Life is beautiful
Life is hard
Life’s meant to be a struggle
At times
Sometimes we
Need a break
  nothings  wrong
With escapism
Indulge yourself
And others too
But Don’t close your eyes
to the possibility
Of something new


It’s never
An excuse
It’s a means to relax
We don’t need any drugs


(To Zone out)

At peace with reality
Born free
Not committed to anyone
But ourselves
You’ll find me contented
Laying in bed
Vacationing in my
Imagination
You’ll find in deep thought
Vacationing in my
Imagination

The worlds not ****
People aren’t ****
We’re collectively cynical
To our detriment

So what
If I get wasted
So what
If I work at a slower rate
I articulate
And get through
Thoroughly

You say
I’m mislead
That I’m my worst enemy
I drink from my cup
If cynicism
I’m overflowing with discourse
That you don’t wanna hear
Cause it don’t fit
With your *******

Call me dense
Color
Me unimpressed
The dearth of ideas
You claim
To have
Are as limited as your
Limited worldview

Hypocrite
You’re being a hyperbolic , jaded
Piece of work
It must be an art to be a living myoma

You’re a morning after
A morning late
A mourning coup de tat
Always throwing punches in your mind

Your not special
Join the crowd
And realize
You’re as vanilla
As every other **** snowflake
You associate yourself with

Don’t you feel proud?

And yes I’m happy
In case you were wondering
But I also know
You don’t have live like this
In your repetitive mind state

In this room
With my friends
And 50 others I’m alone
Zoned out, tranquil
I’ve managed to
Focus and tune out the speakers

“ he’s weird”
Until you talk to me
Know you realize
I can hear you
With clarity
Your voice is sweat like chocolate
Smooth like coffee
Subtle as a whisper
And more tuneful than these **** songs

Flowers, promise and punishment
Divided by walls of mind
Infiltrated by transgressions  of our heart and soul
Kiss the lips that you thought you loved
Misleading feelings and false euphoria
Combine to create a deadly resolution
Revenge in the most psychologically damaging ways
Are merely a means to the end for the ‘games’ we play
Love will run after you

Beauty on sight


She slipped me
Her room key
And an empty tab
“ Room 313
And I’ll be off in seven”

She looked like Rapunzel
Spoke in a Slavic dialect
Better yet
Maybe I’ll leave the rest to your imagination

Beauty and the *****
Fell in love with the moment
Please don’t be mad
I don’t recall your name
Did I ever tell you mine

We awaited the sunrise
After the fact
Watching the stars
Admiring the scenery
Making love on the bow
To the backdrop of the Danube

Ghost town
Population 100,000
Yet all I see
Is traffic and  tumbleweed
Where the hell is everyone?

It’s 9 P.M.
The kids are asleep
Hire a sitter
Let’s get lit

In the city
The night shift never ends
In the city
You kiss *** all day
Come to me
Non- cynically
Let’s indulge in serendipity
The practice of ******* off
And enjoying ourselves


It’s moments like these
That we live for
The cities dead
But we’re alive
Join me
Join us
Join we
Let’s party!!

She wanted more
Was I so wrong?
Was she right?
Her image is still visible... But it's fading behind the rain
  
Time will only tell
That it's been too long
I sit here and write these songs
But her image is fading behind the rain

Behind the rain
Behind the rain
Strange droplets of water... Is it my memory
Behind the fading rain

What do  I long for?
I don't really know
Hopefully it doesn't show itself
Behind the fading rain  


Blaire I

What was it what a I missing what time is ******* away the chances we had. now you're gone along the way and I can't let you go. You'll always be my everything no matter who i fall in love with because you Blaire were my first love.

Come into the romanticized void
Deep space
A million miles from anything
Staring at the stars and knowing that you still can't reach them

Being an astronaut realistically is boring
So in your mind you dream of floating about
On a rowboat
You underpass waterfalls of quixotic emotions
Dreaming of going home
But here you are so awry and devoid of emotion

You wake up alone
You sleep alone
And you realize
That everyone you sleepwith
Is fleeting
But that doesn’t seem to stop you
You’re on a quest to find connection
In all the wrong places
And as suns rise and sunsets
You learn to feel empty

Never ask about a next time
You know that’ll never happen
And when the stars realign
You realize that the person you wake up next to you
Has the intention of a no strings attached relationship
You reluctantly
Hop into bed with them
Only to find yourself
On the couch
When all is said and done
You feel no connection
Despite stating the contrary
You were betrayed by situational honesty  

Congratulations, you’ve officially

Donkeys cry
Elephants cry
This game of losers
Never ends
The dream
We call American
Became superficial
Growth comes at a cost
We must work
And earn accordingly
Can’t afford a token
Or pass
To immigrants or natives
Who believe it as their birthright
To call what elders
Worked so hard to build as our own
But not do anything to preserve it

Why worry
What’s the point
sit back
Life will go by regardless

Why ask
There’s no answer
Sometimes
Wonder is the key
Why push
When no ones pulling
You the other way

Sometimes I feel like we’re drowning
In repetition
Hoping to reap a different outcome
We’ve never learned

No inspiration
No cause
No notion
And no reason

Words are a drug
Words are a comfort
Words are a companion

I know
How original?

Saying nothing
Is saying something
Words escape
But I always find them again

Writers block only exists
In the minds of those
Who let it

How original
How original
How original
How original

Just take your pills
Get your thrills
pay their bills

Faux advice
Half-hearted wisdom
The tooth’s been extracted
And if you want anesthesia
That comes at cost
  
At the cost
Of your dignity
And mental freedom

Politicians are liars
Lawyers are crooks
And shrinks are the prostitutes
Of the  “respectable”
professional world

They work your mind
Stretch your head
You’re now confused
Much too your dread

Shrinks are the unsavory prostitutes
Of the  “respectable”
professional world

Never going back
To the 802
No WiFi
All hippies
  mom and pop
Art shops and coffee houses

There was  nothing to do on the weekends
So I’d sit by my stream
Smoke cigarettes
  And allow my mind to
Flow freely
As water

At 14 greenwood lane
Revisiting
high-school days

Others Mental illnesses
And 8 month winters
Might as well’ve lived in Canada

At 14 Greenwood lane
Revisiting high school days  

Ken burns movie
Staring us
Glorified PR flex
At least we had
Something to do
Finally

At 14 Greenwood Lane
Revisiting high school days

Vermont’s a *******

Over the wall
Across the mote
Make way for the siege

Their architects
And engineers
Defected to me
Without a fight

A shadow cast over the sun
And a heavenly light showered me
“ you will be great” it said
Free people from division

You are Genghis
You are man
You will unite all peoples
And shadow the sun

Sea of red
Festive and welcoming
Wined and dined
On the finest
poultry and swine
With a salad and discourse on the side

Sea of red
In my head
The ecstasy of intimacy
In our heads

Now I’m in
The thick of it all
I’m not sure if I wanted this
But it feels

(So **** good)

I see the moiety as one
The obsequious masses
Blindly burning in the sun
Tell me why
We aptly succumb to the norm becoming bystanders
And why we watch desperately
For the media to report the facets
That have lasted
And most of us still actively do nothing

The world won't stop without us
But we haven't began
To make our footprints in the sand
This world is ours
And as sentient beings
It's ours to protect
by dissecting each other's intellect
And reflecting
And accepting new concepts to protect it
Instead we infect it
The moiety still unifies
To eagerly and obsequiously
Burn themselves in the sun

Your Girlfriend’s A Lesbian (This Officially ***** For You)
She's loose
She's loose
You never kept her in check
She's loose
She's loose
This situation isn't over yet
  
You weren't thinking
You were just... what were you doing
No wonder she's cheating
She tried to warn you
But you weren't sober
She tried to warn you
You're sleeping next to *****... and she's gone
You always were a member of the LGBT
But now that she is... you don't know what to do
iI's heresy you say... but that's  low as hell dude (that's gay)
That won't nullify her fancy
Your girlfriend's a lesbian
___________

My Girlfriend’s a Lesbian (This Officially ***** For Me)

Advise me
I need help
I'm trying to save her and myself
My girlfriend’s a lesbian

I don't have a problem with her preference
Though her actions are confusing
I still for her deeply- I just don't know what to do.

She's saying she loves me
And I know
Over time
Imperfections will show
My girlfriend’s new epiphany

My girlfriend’s a lesbian
And neither of us will end the relationship
F this
Her girlfriends is more attractive than she
But the girl Still says she loves me

When They Hook Up

“Hey Travis”
“Yeah Dude”
“ Our Girlfriend’s are cheating on us”
“Thats Hot”
“No It’s not… They’re hooking up right now and we should probably find new significant others”
“Wait…how do you know?”
“Because I was getting suspicious so I read Brandy’s texts”
“Wait a minute- Your girlfriend’s name is Brandy, she’s a bombshell, she’s an athlete, she’s smart and she’s a social butterfly… how could not expecting her to ever cheat”
“... Your Girl’s the same way”
“Why are we calling them girls if their clearly women.”
“ Women are mature and sophisticated- girls are… well you know”
“ Aren’t we usually the ******* as men? I mean, this can’t be happening”\
“We need to agree not to say anything and treat them like crap by not talking to them”
“Can’t do that.”
“Why not?”
“Cause two wrongs don’t make a right and sometimes the right thing to do well be considered the wrong thing in the moment. One must ask himself if the situation warrants more pain to be dealt with in that moment or in the future”
“Shut the hell up Travis”
“ Dude I’m serious”
“ Travis, you’re over-compensating, we’ll just end it with them”
“...But Dude”
“ That’s what we’re doing”
“****, why you gotta be so like Harold Lee”
“ Because predictability is the spice of life”
“... Actually variety is the spice of life”
“ Yeah,,, that would be the right wording for the adage but I like mine more. Now, let me finish White Castle

Tattoos are beautiful
But temperamental
Why?


A stories worth something
But people fancy  images
Symbols stick
More than syntax
The artist knows
What  to do
but only you know what it is
You wish to say

It’s living ink
and it makes you think
Don’t blink
Or you’ll miss
The message behind
The person

Where it on skin
As a form of expression
Don’t overdue
Or you’re gonna miss the lesson
There the movies others wear
And free showing is always incentive
To admire

It’s living ink
and it makes you think
Don’t blink
Or you’ll miss
The message behind
The person

What’s your story, morning Glory?



It’s living ink
and it makes you think
Don’t blink
Or you’ll miss
The message behind
The person

We live life
As if we had
A permanent lease
Despite having knowledge
That it’ll end
Memories
Are good and bad
It’s what you do
That matters in the end

I smoke cigarettes
I drink beer
You don’t think I hear you?
You’re wrong
Call me stupid
*******
Insolent
Whatever you will
I’m living for the moment
Cause I know
Someday might be too late
To live my life

I’m cool
But not popular
It doesn’t bother me
Cause I’m me
Everyone’s an attention *****
I’m not immune
I’m in fact human

I love, I hate
I get caught in my head
I make mistakes
Just like you
I’m living in the moment
Cause I know
Someday might be too late
To live my life

MISSION STATEMENT

What we feel
Is what we’ll do
If you don’t like it
We can’t fault you

Define us by
Who we are
Not what we play
We don’t stray
From the heart

We don’t live and die
By the lyric
We leave most
To interpretation
We ain’t trying
To rock
The nation

We’re just us

Do justice to the music
( Don’t) think) we’ll stay the same
( Don’t “Know”) what we’ll be
Next, we’ll progress
Regress and digress as
A collective entity
Band, fan or otherwise


Who we are
May not reflect
Your exact ideology
But who said we had
To be agreeable
We’re good


Progression is a non-linear concept
Based on
The ebb and flow of life
The pain and joy that you feel throughout
I’d merely a test

Who are you
What do you believe
And what do you truly know
Believing is awakening

This is loaded but austere reflection

Liberate
Create the image you see of yourself
Beauty isn’t paramount
Mount your mind
And thoughts
To dress as freely as you wish

Show as much
Or as little as you wish
You shouldn’t have to cover
Or shoe modesty

I’m no fashionista
But girl, you gotta be you
******* up
**** the rest

Be yourself
Don’t be ashamed
Or let yourself be shamed
By anyone

Mimes mimic monotony
With cerebral and cynical gestures
Passionately “performing” the perilously
Tiring
