When I sleep
You want it all to stop
But it won’t
Abide by what you ask
Cause it knows
You can’t hold it down
You can’t keep control
And it moves with the same name
And then hides
Deep inside your veins
Is a lie
That you can tell yourself
That you can keep control
When I sleep I just have the same dream
These habits stay
To counter the cost
The weight it hangs to balance
The loss
That you removed yourself
You can tell yourself
When I sleep I just have the same dream

Quarter Moon
Chase the sunset to the sea
Bring your friends along and all their chemistry
Lost beneath the sliver moon in the
Half light your face just makes me swoon
The quarter moon will shine tonight
My imagination pales beneath it’s light
As long as you’re here next to me when the quarter moon is up and I’m coming down
Point your headlights to the sea I’ll be there for you
Can you be there for me?
With no directions to this place where your tragedy and loss are all erased.
The silver moon will shine tonight
I made it here I’m waiting for it’s light
Nothing hurts when you’re around if the quarter moon is up and I am coming down.

Lemonade
Ice cream sweet and so naive
Never met a lie you don’t believe
You say please and thank you too
And have a nice day how do you do
All life’s lemons taste like like lemonade
When you’re down you’re never out
When you hurt you don’t say ouch
Call it pleasure when it’s pain
Call it sacred when it’s profane
This world can use (will use) someone like you

Light Of You

Light of you
I had hoped you’d tell me
Where you hid the moon
Because this night can’t get much darker
Without the light of you
I had hoped you’d stop me
Before I’ve gone too far
With all this time caught looking downward
For a shooting star
To wish upon
And hope I’m wrong
Why can’t you just show me
Where the secret’s kept
With all this time I’ve wasted
Until there’s no time left
What can’t they just show me
Where the traps are set
Because I’m frozen going further
And there’s no going back
To home

Open Wide

Open wide
You try to close your eyes and sleep tonight but you can’t tell
If your dreams are real
These patterns move across your eyes and form themselves
Into a lie that’s yours to keep and not reveal
You carry it across the sand wait until
You understand
This desert doesn’t care if you
Stay here or make it through
You see it coming but you cannot step aside
You know better but your arms are open wide
The wind it knows the poetry of every song thats ever song
It doesn’t care to know your name
As you race against this clock the seconds drop
And never stop in hourglass that’s your life
That’s indifferent to your love
It’s indifferent to your pain
It doesn’t have the time to wait
And see if you’ll figure it out
Tell me how can just one drop leave you soaking to the skin
I’m telling you you can not stop
Tell me how can just one drop leave you soaking to the skin
Im telling you you can’t begin
I know the rope is frayed
The wind it knows the crack and crag of every grain of sand
But it doesn’t care to know your name
Cause who do you think you are

Turn It Off

Turn it off
She talks to you in silence
Whispers you can’t hear
And points in a direction
That could be anywhere anywhere
There’s a code to the static
There’s an order to the mess
Unless you rise above it
It never makes much sense
Toss and turn turn it off
There’s a burning in your head
An uninvited guest that never leaves
That wraps around your nerves
and tells you what to see
There’s a glaring white light
That’s always on behind your eyes
That never lets you see that your every thought is blind

Idiots All
When the last kid crawls out of the hole only to be.. only to see the wise men that look away..idiots all
When the last drop drips down off your nose feeling the streets filling my life with madness and Adderall
Innocent all
How come I’m the only one who can understand the way I feel today.
Long before the rooster crows at dawn with stars in the sky when I was a bright new child with a brand new ball.. innocent all
Who can run the fastest down the hall only to be..only to see the white men that turn away..idiots all.
When will the gun shot drone be a wake up call to say “here we go”
100,000,000 kids holding hands dancing around the fire burning black..screaming America.
100,000,000 kids holding hands dancing around the fire burning black what’s left of America.

Not Asking
When I woke up I was swimming in this dark aquarium
And I asked if you could listen
Where I’m coming from
When you know every corner
all these walls have been defined
And you count the endless pacing
In your own heart’s confine
I’m not asking ( how many)
I’m not asking ( how far)
I’m not asking ( for reasons)
I’m not asking anymore
And I’ll take back every step I took to find
Where the bodies buried and why we closed our eyes
And I woke up to this dull throb
Of a hungover sun
That’s been lost in all it’s wandering
But it’s right where it belongs

I Can Not Find You
07:14

I cannot find you
There is a light on the horizon
That you are always taken to
That never brings you any closer
But always remains in your view
There is a sad eye on the high cliff
Keeping watch over the rocky shore
There is a longing to it’s beacon
Whose warning welcomes home
That I can not find you anymore
I can not find you anywhere
It’s tired eyes are always open
Always searching always on
And the sea washes the detail
Til it blurs into one
That I can not find you anymore
