Man
i lick my lips
they taste of sky
my head high
in the clouds
but down under
things festered
still bubble
of what
for so long
i had
denied
I've got the January blues,
The Monday heaviness,
A kind of Tuesday Sadness.
I've got the Wednesday empties,
The Thursday lonelies,
And a Friday full of Madness.
Saturdays are cold and grey
While Sundays seem to slip away,
And the week recycles into blandness.

uncertainty
regret
i don't
know best
i just knew
that i was in pain
i did what i thought
would make me feel okay
i don't even
feel like myself
i dont even
deserve your help

i'd say sorry
but i don't know if you'd care
and if you did
that'd break my heart

Break down                    break down

Break down
Break down

OVER AND OVER AGAIN !

••

Break down           Break down

You make yourself what you are
You seem so in love

With your enslaved state
So enamored of your misery

You pretend that someone has done this to you

You gonna stay broken till you honor the truth

That it is all happening like you want it to

:::

Break down

You gonna break down

OVER AND OVER AGAIN

••

You say you're unloved but you are loveless , too

Can't be trusted

Cause if you abuse

Yourself it means

You also abuse

Anyone you choose

/././

Break down             Break down

Break down the hate inside of you

Break down your ego and come free

Break down your blindness and start to see

Break down the world of its insanity

••

Break down

Break down

Break down the walls you hide behind

And a new dawn you'll surely find

OVER AND OVER AGAIN

Probably I'm just bored
Can't fly to Istanbul

Or to Venice. Or France.
I think the flight is full

Small town America is small
Not much goin' on

But grateful conversations
Fatinah, Kelly, John

The meaning of life is living
But we wish there could be more

Every open window
Every closing door

Every time I wish
It would be just like before

Every time I wish
The Silence I implore

         Forgotten lore.

the exhaustion finally hitting
hear it in your voice
sleep if you're tired
it's okay

know you're worried for me
but you shouldn't drain yourself
to make me
feel safe

just at comfort's edge
where questions bite
beyond the flickering
wilderness of us all
you can sit and dangle
your legs, soak up
giddy pride and dare,
dare to answer
what we already know
inside, but cannot touch
