Ether and a Rag

And her thoughts are focused on mixed up emotions. Same as words, all she believed in has all fallen short from her. Meteor. Falling to the earth at hyperintensive speeds. Same as her. She's been falling for so long, trying hard to carry on. To her hope is just another word. And she's taking herself out of it. It is clear that she hides her pain like no others from the crimson in the sink and she falls beneath her covers using ether and a rag. And he is what she thought the answer could be until he proved her ignorant. And she put her faith in human kind just to find that we're not wise. We burn ourselves with fire everyday. And she is taking herself out of it. It is clear that she hides her pain like no others from the crimson in the sink and she hides beneath her covers using ether and a rag. I said tears are precious so don't waste them, he wasn't worth it so pick up out of it. I know it's easier said than done, but you have me and the prayers of the angels above. but she said I can't hide my pain like most others using smiles and laughs so I'll fall beneath my covers using ether and a rag.

Coffee Mug

My body's running, but my mind is not. Green bottle love machine indelible font. Sub-titles flashing you better watch it dude latitude is clashing with intangible longitude. What you say coffee mug? I don't care cause I'm not like that. What you want coffee mug? I don't care Inhale and Exhale. Inhale Exhale. I was an island on my own, but even Islands they need oceans to surround them on all sides. You've got to show some emotion or keep drawing brand new lines cause I'd rather let it die than keep my hope alive and I apologize. You floated right on past my shore. It's probably better cause our currents don't float in the same way. She taught me more about myself and all the things that I wish life to bring so simple and serene like a kiss upon the cheek wrapped in a summer breeze. Oh coffee mug and how I broke you. Just because I can't articulate the nuance of my soul, doesn't mean that I should aggravate the limits of my mind. My brain is buzzing and I'm on a roll. Sometimes I find peace when I'm not in control. My legs are Jello and I'm about to fall. It's just about time to pop me an Adderall. What you say coffee mug? I don't care cause I'm not like that. What you want coffee mug? I don't care Inhale and Exhale. Inhale Exhale. I was an island on my own, but even Islands they need oceans to surround them on all sides. You've got to show some emotion or keep drawing brand new lines cause I'd rather let it die than keep my hope alive and I apologize. You floated right on past my shore. It's probably better cause our currents don't float in the same way. She taught me more about myself and all the things that I wish life to bring so simple and serene like a kiss upon the cheek wrapped in a summer breeze. Oh coffee mug and how I broke you.

Rather Stay Inside
03:43

You came into my life at exactly the right time. But it way to hard to say so I looked for any way to play like I don't mind and keep myself inside. Just like the morning dew, you disappeared by noon. It was way too hard to prove that I didn't care for you so I told myself a lie and kept myself inside. I could have sang this song for you. Done anything you asked me to. I could have been the best you knew or I could have just done nothing at all.

Slowly Away

Table tops with bills on top remind me that I'm stuck to this name. It's not my name that makes me ill, but my debt that's driving me insane. It's my debt to those who came and went and it's my debt to those who haven't come yet. I'm loosing my touch as my grip, it slips and falls slowly away. T.V. shows with plastic folks can't hide the pain I feel inside. I've felt the burn I'll take my turn, but I'm not expecting paradise. This for those who've change my life. I think of you, but I'm paralyzed. I'm loosing my touch as my grip, it slips and falls slowly away. I don't know why my voice has died or the feelings that this silence brings. It seems so simple to turn to you, but I cannot turn to anything. So please forgive the wall inside and could you please this neurotic vice. I'm loosing my touch as my grip, it slips and falls slowly away.

Just Be
05:00

Take a break and find out what you're missing if you're willing to put an end to me. And see there's logic and there's chaos and it seems you're using neither to me. Away. Just be. Thought can wear the mind away like limestone walls against the sea. Please just pay attention to your breath not where and how it's going to be. What does it all mean? Does it even matter? The more you ask you'll learn the less you learn. Your overanalyzation makes the hours burn away. And I can break my habits, but I cannot change the truth for you. Today, today. There's never been a better time to stop and think about your ways. And shave the disillusioned gelatin that's swollen all around your brain. Away, I say none of this to anger you, but it will happen anyway. One day you'll learn that your intellect can't be used to solve all things. What does it all mean? Does it even matter? The more you ask you'll learn the less you learn. Your overanalyzation makes the hours burn away. And I can break my habits, but I cannot change the truth for you.

Leydy your smile, it lights up my life even though you've seen way more than a little girl should. Know that I'm here though a thousand miles separate us and that you're in my heart and prayers an emerald in my eye will try to be a solid man in your life is never free from pain. But hearts start their circulating blood thaws and begins taking interest in the plights of man minds deviating from their selfish plans. This ain't no crazy ranting, love is the word I'm chanting. Love, learn to give embrace the world and you'll learn to live again. Just like Leydy did. Leydy your heart so pure and so true, it hurts me to see the permeating world surrounding you. You have inspired and entire change inside me why won't I just take a stand and show the world that I will try to be a solid man in your life is never free from pain . But hearts start their circulating blood thaws and begins taking interest in the plights of man minds deviating from their selfish plans. This ain't no crazy ranting, love is the word I'm chanting. Love, learn to give embrace the world and you'll learn to live again. Just like Leydy did.

I rolled up a joint and I burnt it down. My body sank into the sandy ground and with a boom, it began to breath with me. I looked at my friends sitting next to me, we all began to laugh ecstatically because we knew that familiar frequency. The bugs overhead they were all in sink. I began to see that pattern in humanity although we try so hard to act so separately. I love my freedom and what it's given me, but it's all a joke without unity, you cut the left from the right and you get two personalities. Then up pulled some lights and out stepped a police man, but I knew my rights, or so I thought to life and pursuit of happiness. He looked at me like I was a freak a satan beast from outer space here to destroy the human race, but I'm not. Guess what guy I'm just like you with distorted thoughts and points of view except my open mind it seeks the truth. How about you? We traced our meaning into the sand, I was a paintbrush in the grip of a mighty hand. Some try to give it a name, but us and it, we are all the same. The sun fizzled out upon the rowdy lake. I was presented with the chorus of the cyclic waves. I stood and belted out "Hey Mr. Wave you know what it's all about" Then up pulled some lights and out stepped a police man, but I knew my rights, or so I thought to life and pursuit of happiness. He looked at me like I was a freak a satan beast from outer space here to destroy the human race, but I'm not. Guess what guy, I'm just like you with distorted thoughts and points of view, but my open mind it seeks the truth. How about you? And guess what guy if you hate me that much, heres my wrists you have the cuffs, you can take me downtown and book me up if you'd like, but I have learned through my pursuit to love all life including you and if I'm high or not that will always be my truth.

The Concert

So pack up your bags and I'll grab my things and we'll get all the change for gasoline. The venue's in sight and we'll dance through the night cause we're one in the light of song. I don't care what you say about me be it right or be it wrong. It's not up to them to find me a sacred place where my soul belongs. And I have heard of these places so lofty high or down below. Wherever I go my soul chases dancing all the way I go. Song is the language of the soul I can feel it taking control. It doesn't matter if you're young or old. All around the world, it's understandable. Music transmits from your ears to your legs spreading thoughts of love as the ecstasy rolls. All around you people are moving all inspired by their waking souls. And I have heard of these places so lofty high or down below. Wherever I go my soul chases dancing all the way I go. Song is the language of the soul I can feel it taking control. It doesn't matter if you're young or old. All around the world, it's understandable. Now I scan the crowd for faces some eyes closed some pupils wide. Everyone has been injected with the purest groove cut with vibe. I don't care what you say about me. I don't care if you call me a fool. I can't help it the music it moves me and makes me dance wherever I go. Song is the language of the soul I can feel it taking control. It doesn't matter if you're young or old. All around the world, it's understandable.

For 4 Days

You ain't got no sympathy and I ain't got no time to breath. It's hard enough I'm in between and you ain't got your shirt on and I don't have the strength to intervene. One nights stands, they come and go, but you weren't supposed to make me feel like a piece of shit wrapped in gold like dirt inside a banana peel and I still don't even know if it was real. You licked me once and licked me twice and stuck me to a block of ice. I was way too faded and way too gone I couldn't put my shoes on, but I didn't really want to anyway. The sirens song you sang to me came without a warranty. It was way too simple and way too sweet I fell into your bed and the morning came with a smile of disbelief. Then she got away, packed her bags, and headed for the coast. She left me in this barren state amongst the rows and rows of dying corn. I never let it get to me cause it was easier on my head. It wasn't love anyways. It only lasted for 4 days it only lasted 4. Try and find a way when there seems to be no light in you. You will find those better days just do exactly what you've got to do. And if you try to be like me, it will fall down upon your head. It wasn't love anyways, it only lasted for 4 days, it only lasted 4.

Green Heart Shaped Clay

I better close my eyes tonight for fear a tear rolls from these eyes and makes the pain so hard to hide. I've been dead not once but twice it keeps me thinking is it worth the price? When dead is gone and you are leaving my life. So they've taken mi hijada said someone else's daughter and hope that someone loves her just as much as I did. So it's saddening and it's maddening, but it seems a misunderstanding and it's clear that these emotions are two deaths I've died here. But I've got your hands in green heart shaped clay and I've got those pictures that you drew for me. Picture perfect memories. Fingerprinted memories. And I hope you move on in a way that makes you happy. Fingerprinted memories.
