(Know) I Don't Wanna
05:37
|

Know I don’t wanna
See I don’t wanna
Aware I don’t wanna be
To what you’re doing
Without me
Text no more
Post no more
Snap no more pictures
In your wine and dine dinners
Without me
Muddled gets my head
Full of led
Band members, co workers
See you more than me
Our gazes are no longer
Intertwining
Wheel around the block
Cast your Heart shaped box
Like your locks to the wind
Don’t tell me where they’ve been
Without me
I knew a countess
You racked experience
Shameless we were known to be
Let not the past say our futures
Without me
Know I don’t wanna, Know I don’t wanna, Know I don’t wanna know

Up and down
Streets I strut
Face to face
Bluetooth people never looking up
I’m getting the tightrope bends
From trying on the trends
There isn’t anything I can do
Except approach each day a new
Wearing my brown suede shoes and my blue suede hat
My studies continue
In the club
Among the devoted
I stand out with my mug
I’m dancing with gin and Jack
To make up for my lack
Of letting myself go
I was born in another time ya know
Wearing my brown suede shoes and my blue suede hat
Now to the college
Where scholars
Lecture themselves
Ragging for hours
How insular their egos
Where’s mine to go
I came here to be heard
Not shut out by every jargon word
Wearing my brown suede shoes and my blue suede hat
Evening to night
People’s voices
Speak in trite
Surface level phrases
Wake up can’t you all see
I’m looking for more than routine
CNN’s depressing, I’m leaving this city
Looking for conversation with feeling
Wearing my brown suede shoes and my blue suede hat

Friendly Interruption
03:54
|
|||
Be kind, rewind, don’t stir the water
Is what you’re calmly shouting
Be nicer, heed, stifle your speech
You got my monologue wrong
Don’t pretend, or veil, your language
I listen more than talk didn’t you notice
Don’t say, my ego, stands me apart
I’m no individual, I just don’t act, the fool
Better than, never am, I the best
At accepting what others disagree
To forgive, I will, my friends
But you and your posse, are nothing to me, but acquaintances
After Accusation, I concede, nothing
Remember you whispered people never change
One on one, stead of mob, mentality
I appreciate, only your face, addressing me
Rise against, against me, with words
Draw blood from my character
Stronger, with willpower, I can withstand
Words of those, who refuse to know, themselves
Are you-attune- to this friendly interruption?

Past Fiction
04:09
|
|||
After two slaps in
I’m falling for an artist
She wants me to enlist
In her next portrait
I promise next Sunday
As my boot heels click away
Come Sunday I’m bothered
By mornings arrival
Why can’t I feel more mild?
As she picks her pencil
My distrust melts into night
As she works to get it right
It remains to be seen
What will happen when
John’s blue train pulls in
Sanity sits on a pin
But when the saxophone refrains
Fates scale looks okay
Before me glints the work
Of one aiming to tame
Don’t love belong to the insane?
Must this pang bring pain?
She’s past any fiction
I’m past any indecision
I bring a Bic to my picture
Of Dorian in the wind
Objectivism a dying trend
Finally meeting its end
To the artist I run
To promise my every sun

Learn Lonely
05:36
|

Off in Spain you are
To learn what’s far
Hard, hard it’s gonna be
Hard, hard it’s gonna be hard
I flew to France, Italy
Ferried Zurich, then Si bu ple
Out, out, of time
Out, out, of time I am
How I hope your soul will hold
In the Spanish Mediterranean
Waves fold over you swimming
Try, try, not to sink
Try, try, not to sink deep
Can’t fight the day’s sway
Your back a year from today
Learn, learn, the long
Learn, learn, the long lonely
How I hope your soul will hold
Your message sent yesterday
I’m sorry you feel that way
Cry, cry, you
Cry, cry, you will babe
No emogi can express
Distance, you feeling left
Out, out, of everything
Out, out, of everything you know
How I hope your soul will hold
When time comes to return
Tell all what you learned
Hope, hope, I hope you
Hope, hope, I hope you know the
Long loneliness
Long loneliness
Long loneliness
Long loneliness

Lead Head
03:52
|
|||
A nine pound hammer/ cold has my head
Can’t see can’t think/ Must ‘ave snorted lead
Grimace lil liquid/ For the pain
Leave me flailing/ mace without a chain
That lover said they/ wouldn’t get me sick
They lit my candle/ trimmed my wick
I’d reach out/curse them on their way
But this tinder meal/ left me in the drain
Dr. Robert/ says hello goodbye
Knows I’m rotting/ my life’s a life
My fever catches/ my mind rags
About the beautiful thing/ heaven had
Back in black/ hammer to the spike
Sickness won’t be/ a one punch fight
Rolling’s the thunder/ sweat beads wet
My vision folds/ I lay spent
Ring ding ding dong
Sing the heavy head song
Ring ding ding dong
Reclaim your life gone

Juggling Aches
04:55
|
|||
Your tombstone teeth your fig fresh mouth
Are doing time down south
Outsides’ an eviction war
Inside my skull’s being worn
I must say I’m grateful
You’re juggling my being
And ignoring my honesty
But beware the true me
Lacking weathered hands, always laughing
With imposters always ignoring
It’s never clear what your kind makes
But it’s not the color that makes a fake
Chorus
Tonight your sister Cindy who
Has the nerve to ask is it cruel
To follow the nasty brutish lore
To spit on those of lower rapport
Chorus
Your friends are regurgitating parrots
With their pedigree merits
All alabaster with fair hair
They’ve gone to college so they think they care
Chorus
I’m implicated by what I abhor
Objectivism’s at your core
One more fix then I’ll leave your fence
Gone with every single pence

Don't Love Me Do
04:26
|
|||
I wear a four hour stare
Late, but you curled your hair
You know you’ll be leaving me vaguely
When the wine licks your lip
I refuse to submit
Ah I still can’t resist
When pearls caress your breast
But I mustn’t no I can’t
Babe don’t love me do
Do me, don’t love me
Let me understand that were through
Babe don’t love me do
Why do you think I want talk
My interior’s chalk
Your presence captures and festers
Me in ways I could paint
Or sketch like a fresco saint
My morals are all tangled
Laying me down in the stable
But I mustn’t no I can’t
Chorus
You keeping me up weekly
Heavy talk and petting
Born with a serpent tongue
You think I willingly agree
To bow, be naïve
Sure I’ve paid your way
So that you might stay
But I mustn’t no I can’t
Chorus
It’s clear you fear
Losing me to commandeer
Confusing me to be part of your being
Your minds full of Reddit
And I’m tired of being bent
Leave me, I’ll hang in your museum
A reminder of false freedom
I mustn’t no I can’t
Chorus

Quiet Rain
06:44
|
|||
Morning lays steaming
Gleaming sun’s irritating
A pale preacher preaches
A message that hardly reaches
Your mother’s mind ablaze
Over what he didn’t say
He didn’t even offer to pay
As the wind blows a quiet rain, my love
At home your eyes crack
Knowing he won’t be back
Both, you with no wealth
A sweating glass, you medicate yourself
You yell, “why’m like him”
“I can’t share the same grin”
“with a man who leaves on a whim”
As the wind blows a quiet rain, my love
His exit pushes you to repent
God answers raising the rent
You’d ask the church to help
But you’re tired of the Bible belt
Breathing of conformity
You long for new territory
The next chapter in your story
As the wind blows a quiet rain, my love
In another insomniac haze
You remember when the world wasn’t grey
In your academic bubble
With definitions available
Alone you must take the loan
A role model he was never known
Mother must go her own
As the wind blows a quiet rain, my love
Debt with a fractured family
You heed the incessant urging
To cast aside routine
To rattle your own tambourine
And with executive decision
You vow not to be that person
Life will be how you envision
As the wind blows a quiet rain, my love

Captain's Call
06:01
|
|||
When the weed brings us together
Friendships a foggy lens
Casting a tarp
Over our hearts
I shared dead head secrets
Only to have you hawk
Post my thoughts in chalk
Erodin our harmony
Stay down, don't pretend, your kingdom won't fade
Stay down, don't feign, friends we won't remain
You said it in front of everyone
Ignorant I was trying to connect
Aren’t you thee king,
Learned in diplomacy?
Self-appointed describes your rule
Cutting those whom lose
Try to sink my ship,
I’ll give you the slip
Chorus
You had your artists’ hack
Axe chip at my psyche
Shouting, grow up
Come on, be an adult
But drugged they fell up
Faces mush others down,
J’s all strewn around
Vultures force fed their lifestyle
My boats built to stand
On sands your kingdom
Soon my sword
Will cut our Xinyang chord
A companion don’t pretend
We know business ends
With the warp and weft
Unraveled to death
Chorus
Why keep it bottled up
Admit you’re a parasite
Living off others cents
Sleeping with new admits
Appropriating religion
Claiming loves your mission
Go ahead toss your die
I’m already walking with a sigh
Chorus
