Searching for mother
Searching for “I”
Reaching to recover
Touching the sky

A pool full of circles
Implanted memory
Can’t tell what the work is
Everything’s sensory

Someone planted the seeds
So the sun you could kiss
But the roots were disfigured-
You’re not immune to this

Drafting the blueprint
Grasping the meaning
Don’t look at the fine print
While the stars are gleaming

Searching for “I”
Searching for mother
Reaching for the prize
Touch blue and hover

Soon these scars will bleed
Onto the canvas of my soul
Spent so much time on my knees
Put all my keys, time, and jokes in a bowl

And these thoughts will die with me
Along with all the wasted minutes
You can spin it any way you want
No one knows who started this war

And there’s a battle raging on
For my destiny
Don’t know what side I should be on
Only hope I return to the stars

Cause soon these scars will bleed
Onto the canvas of the universe
Wonder, if in heaven, you need to breathe
Wish I had time to rehearse

A body full of rocket fuel
And rug burns on my knees
To all those out there I hurt,
This is my apology

I wish I could undo
Everything I’ve done wrong
But since no one’s listening
I only have this song

And I know all the sorrys in the world won’t be enough
Would it please you to see me in handcuffs?
I know the road to redemption will be rough
But I ask, to this plea, please don’t wear earmuffs

I live everyday in the horror, in the guilt
How did I weave this never-ending quilt
The world is caving in, the sky is falling down
I know I don’t belong to this world, to this town

I just want you to know I pray everyday
For the turning back of time
I never meant to cause you harm
All I can do is rhyme
And pray for forgiveness
Pray for forgiveness

A body full of rocket fuel
And rug burns on my knees
Cleanse me of unknown faults
You’re the ones that hold the keys

You're the one that got away
Somehow I think I'm to blame
We were both looking for escape
But you beat me to it with haste

The passion we shared
The crosses we beared
I don't want to live a lie
The science of our love
Caused me violence when you left
And I don't want to watch our future die

I'm lost...

Coffee in a teacup
Hard-boiled egg
Remote control
Squeaky chair leg
And a butterfly pillbox filled with red white and blues

Watch the uninspired TV
And become a pathetic ghost
Excuse me while I implode

I wrote a check to Mother Nature
But it bounced
Strip the city of me
You’ll find nothing to envy

And when I die in my dreams
My eyes become the milky way
My body is a tree
With my mind and heart branching out towards heaven

I’m a lonely ball of blue
And I can’t exist without my moon
I’m spinning out of control
So fast, so fast
I’m tilted
I can’t evolve
How can I solve any mystery
In a hostile world
The colors swirl into nothing
I can’t talk
You must read my body language
I take a walk
Amid jungles and ice
Is this the price I pay
For losing my mind
Shortened days of time
I’m tilted
Can’t stop spinning
Out of control
So fast, so fast, so fast

The sounds were muffled
Still the people shuffled by
The living dead corpse
No one felt remorse
Except the king of course
These days, you’ll be put away
For all the strange things you say
While the masses chase wedding rings
He searched for the truth-
It’s been 52 weeks
It’s no world for the meek
Kiss your mother on the cheek
And say goodbye
A mysterious stranger
Gave you the falling sickness
