and the words all sound the same

Feels Like…

You get
To me
Like no one else
Hoo-ray
Hoo-ray
You make me feel
Like a new day
Hoo-ray
Learn
Life lessons
We all gotta change
It’s ok
Hoo-ray
Hoo-ray

Forget The Metaphors

Drifting along
Learning I am my fathers son
Saying things no one cares to hear
Feeling so good and bad
Burning like a candle
(…sinking like a stone in the sea)
Not hard to defeat me
I’m tired, sad and lonely
Except when you’re with me
And they don’t wanna hear it
They leave me feeling guilty
Tired and lonely
(…I’m burning like a bridge…)
It’s ok
It’s alright

been awake for far too long today

Snow Day (b/w)

Drive through this white wall
Safe in my invisible vessel
I just want to be at home
Warm inside my black cacoon
Want to wake up in my room
Next to you
Tomorrow afternoon

Vicious

If I were a beast
I wouldn’t need to be tamed
You want to make me smile
Just remember my name
I live to love
I love to live
Works well
Sometimes these words I spit
They dig me deep
Down in the pit
Some got sick of it
But I got sick of them before they had the chance
To say something far from beautiful
So I left
To build my new home
A nest of broken dreams
Lined with some paranoia to insulate
My stability
Whats happened to my sanity?
I used to be so vicious
Or so it was said
But now I am oly vivious to myself
Get pulled in
Sucked down
Into the cycle again
Wait to wake up

Even/ing

but i hope hope hope for the best
because i love love love
the thought of this
and i dream dream dream
to wake up and see
i was awake all along
so please please please
don’t let me say a word
its your voice that needs to be heard
i’ll listen intently
so please sing to me like a beautiful bird
well i hope hope hope for the best
don’t know if i am as good as the rest
wish i could wake up
because i am alone and tired
maybe if i dream this again
i’ll realize i was never dreaming

Snow Day (pt 2 & pt 3)

The white roads
Reminescent of envelopes
They are taking over
Now no ones in control
Slide on ide
Turn the snow red
You know what to do

So once again I sit and wait
Hope and dream
Just want some warmth
Want some sleep
Can never get enough

so the weatherman says
tonight we’ll hit the single digits
lets not get too crazy
don’t you forget it
i just want to wake up

on the verge

November Will End

I awoke to tiredness
I fell asleep
Then woke again
Another day begins
Another day off
Can’t sit still
Help move you in
Where do I begin?
Things I can not say
I’m sick of my life being public anyway
Anyway
So wake up
We have so much to do
Let’s sluff it off
Have some fun
Chill in my room
And when I awake
I’ll be on my way to work again soon
So what do you do?
What do I do?
I like the progress I’ve made
Moving along from day to day
I wake up and I am happy once again
I told you it’s been awhile
Since I felt like this
Using words to describe
Feelings I haven’t felt in so long
Wake up
This is something new

so and so and so much more

Baker Street (Skeleton Key) 

Jokes that are never funny
And memories that can’t be erased
Dreams that tunr into nightmares
It comes down to this
The living on
The movements
Holes that need filled
But there’s no substance to this
Just a skeleton key
And there is laughter that never dies
Your words go unheard
The smoke has cleared
The storm is gone
At least it has left here
So say goodbye to Baker Street
You’ve already left your home
And you’ve left the minds of some
The dreams of one
So please stop trying to suck my down
Skeleton key in quicksand
I may be the one
But not for you
I may be someone
For someone else
So I can dream
New memories to create
New dreams to believe in
New directions to traverse
I am doing fine

i love when the snow comes

Shoes

Well my foot fell asleep the other day
Made me forget what I had to say
So I let it go
Say, hey, where did the day go?
So another day goes by
And I learn to be alright
Now I don’t want to talk it over
I can’t make peace
It’s over, it’s over
I’m sorry it’s so easy
But the days go by
And time will heal me
Will you let it heal you too?
Why do you let me get to you?
So tell all your friends
Life is pretty
Pretty shitty
And I will glorify existance
For the mear fact that I can
I will be happy to be alive
Just because I am
And now I really am
So I’m sorry we’re not on the same page
I finished the book
And I heard the movies not all that great
So don’t waste your time
I’ll tell you what happens in the end
He moves on
And she finds a better man

happy thanksgiving

“No man remains quite what he was when he recognizes himself.”

my new tattoo

yeah you were right about me

The Severed Halve Becomes The Whole

Learning to live
Is never easy
And I’m learning again
Is it ok to be happy?
Who’s the monster in the end?
Get caught up in the wind
Snow flakes fall
Give it all
Give it up
Let go
Conjure up
The spirits
To move along
To be someone else
Love is abstraction
Life is surrealism
Joy is a dream
The dream is life
So live it up
Little breather
Heart taker
Gut breaker
Don’t fall apart
This is the process of letting go
Like graffiti on the wall
What once was magic
Is mutilated and destroyed
Get caught up in the wind
This is no sin
We all need to breathe deep
From within
Float with the snow flakes
For once you are ok
You can be ok

The Other Halve Becomes A Hole

Tears
I am guilty
No need to wait for the jury
We all know the verdict
So they say
They say a lot
And it’s all bullshit
Anyway
Well someone is a liar
And someone is a theif
Whos to blame
Who thought this was a game?
Who is the victim?
We’re all casualties
So someone wants to burn this city
So I hear
Theres nothing left for someone
So why take up the space
In the end someones always a waste
Life is just too tragic
Some dying to live
Some living just to die

 Shift (Decline Reprise)

(…five, six)
Hold me or don’t
(Please touch me again)
Give me your hand
(I’ll get rid of the rope)
Don’t ask questions
Like did I ever have a chance

(seven, eight)
Does anyone ever get this far?
(Can anyone surpass?)

(nine)
So relate little breather
You have to live
Take in deep
Hold it in
I wish that she was around
But would I make a damn sound
Or smile in silence
Anyway
(That smile
Your face
I’m so over-rate
Much more than I can take)
So we wake
Time for a new day
Fall from grace
So I thik that it is safe to say
That I wear it on my sleeve
Everyday
And I think we can even agree
It’s not just me
Not just…
(Lack of sleep
Fall to my knees
You’ve got my eye)
Anyway
So I wish that she was around
Hold me while I’m on the ground
Maybe I’m a dreamer
And she’s just an actress in my theatre
But it’s the only reality I’ve got
So I’ll take it all in any way
(That smile
Your face
Mirror someone else
It’s all we’ve got
Who’s lost the plot
Anyway)
I’m just a guy
Waiting for a chance
Breathe, breathe in
Hold me again
I want you to see who I am
I’m just a guy
Waiting for a call
So call me girl
Call
