My Insane
03:19
|
|||
|
Erase the demon that’s riding my insane
I’ll race it into the sunset shaking it off my brain
Gravity pullin salt from the rain
A coal army can’t throw me off that train
I want satisfaction to grow outside the realm of yr reaction
Blood pounding galaxies out ear holes
Jump on that vinyl ride
Centrifugal force throws me aside
Chase the dream that’s callin out my name
Sun-soaked ink spilled sheets let me know I am on my way
Gravity pullin salt from the rain
A coal army can’t throw me off that train
I want satisfaction to grow outside the realm of yr reaction
Blood pounding galaxies out ear holes
Jump on that vinyl ride
Centrifugal force throws me aside
I won’t break down
I won’t break down
I won’t break down
I won’t break down
I won’t break down
I won’t break down
I won’t break down
I won’t break down

Oak Tree
03:21
|
|||
|
I want to be an old oak tree
I wanna lose my leaves and brave the storm
I want my roots to run deep
I don’t wanna see feet as I reach towards the sky
I want to let you go, wanna let you go, I wanna let you go
I want to deserve the rain
To understand shade/be nourished by light
I want to embrace the gray
To sway and not break to surrender to time
I wanna let you go, wanna let you go, I wanna let you go

Hole Punch
02:49
|
|||
|
It was a hole punch to the stomach
I’m a paper doll w a void
Black hole inhaling the smoke, all the food, all the drugs
My world is a never ending bridge
My paper world tape and string
There’s a rousing sway most of the time
I wish the rocking lulled me
There are no lullabies
There’s chaos all the time
I know there are twisting shadows
Of scissors hole punches and rain
Lonely exaggerated monsters the sinking sandpit in my brain
Magnified unbalanced me 2D teetering
I’m tired of moving by the breeze
But I can’t stop anything
There are no lullabies
There’s chaos all the time

Monster
04:18
|
|||
|
My breath is a confused conductor
Letting bad electricity in
A bull let loose pitting myself against myself
I’m left a rodeo clown
Afraid of the monster in the ring
I feel each trampling foot as it explores
The cracking ice of emptiness- my solar plexus expanse
Telephone poles get knocked down like dominoes
I’m on my knees I can’t se the richness in the soil
I look up at the sky
I can’t see- there’s sun in my eyes
And I do and I don’t wanna die
My weaving tight rope tongue tension racket
Barks out rocks as the offensive player
A meteor ignites Aries Olympic torch
Cockroaches shuttle into the shadows I fight
Im relying on myself to shift the planets
Tho my shoulders can’t carry my own
My atmosphere needs a definite change for me to continue to live
I’m on my knees I can’t se the richness in the soil
I look up at the sky
I can’t see- there’s sun in my eyes
And I do and I don’t wanna die

Captain
02:55
|
|||
|
Caffeine quakes my veins
I travel the map that bleeds my name
My heart breaks like a tidal wave
My flags are up- the colors have changed
Oh captain, my captain
Oh captain, my captain
My image dissolves in the North Star glow
Exposes a chest that’s skeletal
The distressed- the pulse of wanting to know
Is the marrow good or evil
Oh captain, my captain
Oh captain, my captain
Oh captain, my captain
Oh captain, my captain

Lifeguard
02:46
|
|||
|
Lifeguard fell asleep again as we swim in this emptiness
I wonder what we’re needing as our hearts are bleeding
They’re broken but working... they’re broken but working
Lighthouse light burned out again- w navigate this emptiness
Future rebuilding as our hearts are bleeding
They’re broken but working. They’re broken but working
I wanna be whole but I don’t know what I’m missing
I wanna be whole but I don’t know what I’m missing
I wanna be whole but I don’t know what I’m missing
I wanna be whole but I don’t know don’t know what I’m missing

Planets
02:27
|
|||
|
As a solitary planet, I found a solar system
A sturdy foundation void bitter atmosphere
I’m nurturing an adolescent brush/starting a thriving thrush
Learning to play my cards, learning the dimensions
I need to embrace the swarms of questions that pullulate
Breeding new universes in every direction
I am my surroundings- afraid I’ll break the echo
My breath is hot and heavy supplying a rich vein of guilt
Gravitational push/pull chain I ride the pulsing waves of pain
Give birth to the realization I’m the only thing that stops
I need to embrace the swarms of questions that pullulate
Breeding new universes in every direction

Wire
03:45
|
|||
|
Wire fire hair branch towards the sky
It breathes for me and stings my eyes
Handwriting mumbles, river rambles
Sticks and stones are my reflection
It’s crossed my mind
It’s crossed my mind
It’s crossed my mind I need to rewire
The sun drains from the sky
My eyes close, my day dies
Photons bounce around inside
Little did I know... little did I know....
I was already asleep
Laying on my dreams
It’s crossed my mind
It’s crossed my mind
It’s crossed my mind I need to rewire

Black Holes
02:26

I deny the black holes I try to fill
I deny the black holes I try to fill
I deny the black holes I try to fill
I deny the black holes I try to fill
I sleep I sleep I sleep I sleep
I scream I scream I scream I scream
I sleep I sleep I sleep I sleep
I scream I scream I scream I scream
I’m alone, I’m afraid
Sleepwalker steppin day to day
I feel useless and alarmed
Death lives next door next door I
I deny the black holes I try to fill
I deny the black holes I try to fill
I deny the black holes I try to fill
I deny the black holes I try to fill
I street I street I street I street
I bleed I bleed I bleed I bleed I
I’m alone, I’m afraid
Sleepwalker steppin day to day
I feel useless and disarmed
Death lives next door next door I
I deny the black holes I try to fill
I deny the black holes I try to fill
I deny the black holes I try to fill
I deny the black holes I try to fill

Beyond
02:52
|
|||
|
Pansy and tulip bouquet cross my lips and perch on yr smile
I’ve had the seeds and bulbs since I was 22. I planted them and I knew
There’s a galaxy behind your face
B flat heartbeats drum waves of memory and atoms
Switch hitting molecules retain their structure yet they can change
There’s a galaxy behind your face
Moments when my brain gets stuck. The insecurity of living’s the forefront
Angels Mama L and WMG... seemingly just headstone
There’s a galaxy behind yr face
Twice I was in pain in every other circumstance would kill someone
My head was in the clouds when my body pushed out those human beings
There’s a galaxy beyond our brain
There’s a galaxy beyond
