All in the Name

I parted with the blues in aisle two
Scanning through the goods in canned foods
Read the labels, read the backs
Crossed off all the things I no longer lack
And it calms me down
Well it’s all in the name
No strain to figure out
When you bring ‘em home
They don’t change
I believe I had it all it all confused
Looking backwards to figure out
If the intentions were good
Granting chances so it lasted
‘Til next impact had me blasted
Found only pieces of myself
In somebody else’s truth
But now this calms me down
Well it’s all in the name
No strain to figure out
No half truths, no games
No games

Blank Generation

I heard you’ve been alone
No leads from the girls on your phone
We ain’t made for these days baby
I keep feeling there’s something wrong
Tryna keep up with the next thing baby
But we end up in each others’ arms
Don’t go and tell your friends it’s a lil' thing, they’ll call you a liar
They’ll read it in the breath that you wasted so don’t try
Even in the winter when sun don’t shine, you cannot break away
You’re mine, you’re mine
Down to design
Grim views on the news today
A blank generation lead by pixels, they say
But we all crave the real thing baby
No, they’re leading us astray
They’re tryna distract with the next thing baby
Don’t forget about what they take
Don’t go and tell your friends it’s a lil' thing, they’ll call you a liar
They’ll read it in the breath that you wasted, so don’t try
Even in the winter when sun don’t shine you cannot break away
You’re mine, you’re mine
Down to design
Down to
Everybody gets lonely
Everybody here knows it
Now that you’re feelin' lonely
Everybody here knows it
Now that you’re feelin' lonely
Everybody here knows it
Now you’re feelin' lonely
Everybody here knows
They know
They know, they know, they know, they know
Go and tell you’re friends it’s a lil' thing, they call you a liar
Read it in the breath that you wasted, so don’t try
No, even in the winter when sun don’t shine, you cannot break away
You’re mine, You’re mine
Down to design
Down to…

Strange Orange
04:09

My folks think I’ll come around
Fulfill their purpose somehow
My old friends have settled down
They seem far away to me now
It’d be easy to get swept up a little
Harder to say it’s not so simple
The air abandons slow
Late August up in smoke
Strange orange hue it glows
Blue sky, now just a winter’s cloak
It’d be easier to surrender a little
Hard to avoid getting stoned off the fumes
Not what was meant by live in the now
Our prodigal past dons our present shroud
Taking small pleasures by zoning out
While I wait for the plague to drown
It’d be easier to lose focus a little
Harder to change; imagine anew

Rivermouth

This has made it easier now,
No longer shaky, grounded in doubt
Relief pours, splashes shores by the river mouth
Hearing’s getting clearer now,
Figure a way to parse it out
Mind is moves, matches meaning to sound
Nobody’s heart breaks
Over past mistakes
Ones you over and over and over make
Turn your gaze to the coastline
Trees bending but won’t break
So still stood the weathered wood,
Through the windy days
Must be ease to it,
How age breathes peace it, now
It’s so clear to me now
Nobody’s heart breaks
Over past mistakes
Ones you over and over and over make
But I’m not gonna wait

To Feel It Deep
04:20

I am heavy-hearted
You have already parted
Darling, you’ve laid out your moves
You’re after a flash
I got nothing else to prove
And I’ve been wonderin' why
You ain’t thinkin' to call back
Oh, what a waste to lose your place
Vainly wishin' for the past
Sometimes our eyes carry too much weight
Fixate their gaze on a changing face
Mistake familiar for a resting place
And as illusions break
Spilling ink stains on a poet’s page
To feel it deep is a blessing
No mistake
And I’ve been wonderin' why
You ain’t thinkin' to call back
Oh, what a waste to lost your place
Vainly wishin' for the past
If you say your goodbyes
I’ll stop hoping you’ll come back
Oh, what a waste, still remember your face
Through rosy visions of the past
Through rosy visions of the past
Rosy visions of the past
Rosy visions of the past
No this won’t last
