Fears

Fears Others’ fears I have no fear It is not mine Let’s get that clear It’s just a note Stuck in a brain I cross it out Begin again Fears Others’ fears You just withhold With hand extending No empathy No understanding A pile of thought Lamenting Now who’s creating what Now who’s destroying what Fears Others’ fears Where is the line Who gets to draw it now I build a bridge I burn it down Who’ll witness it Who’ll be around Do you feel me Do you feel me Fears Others’ fears

The Wrong Man
05:14
|

|
I’ve got a lot of love to give But you give it to the wrong man
I’ve got a lot of life to live You don’t say it like you mean it Come on, say it like you mean it I climb up the stairs To the top of the tower Yes I go up there And I stay there for hours I want to fly But I don’t have the power I want to remember When it meant something To say something And hold something I’ve got a lot of love to give

Show Me How

I've got to get it down but the feeling is remote I'm searching for the words that are stuck down in my throat I could count a hundred thousand ways That I have tried To clear the overgrowth before The root just up and dies Two conversations Three explanations Four hands down If you can Can you help me now Can you show me how What could I've gained from an old satisfaction? Puzzle can't arrange from a broken tradition What have I retained except for porno religion You're lying when you talk about a business call Two way streak It's a three day weekend holiday Four weddings If you can help me now Can you show me how Justified and wrong tonight Hearing maybe die I might Justified and wrong I might Hearing maybe die tonight I will the world to change while I just sit and stare The chairs can rearrange but I remain right there I've tried up and I've tried down All the inbetweens are the Pieces I can't bring to ground Are you looking through me or is something kinda funny Still as stone but working on my bag of tricks, honey And you stare across the counter at the corner At the soda that I bought u like u own me Even though it was only 1.50 I thought that you were there with me Justified and wrong tonight Hearing maybe die I might Justified and wrong I might Hearing maybe die tonight Four hands down if you can

Billy

I only just found you You’re many years gone A ghost in surroundings A being in song Oh Billy What happened to you Couldn’t anyone catch you I only just found you You’re many years gone The frequency of you The heaven of song Oh Billy What happened to you Couldn’t anyone catch you How can I learn What are the words Touched in the throat A message for birds Enveloped in trill Curls crushed by beret How can I learn What words to say I only just found you A spectre in sound I’ve been summoning you When no one’s around Oh Billy what happened to you Couldn’t anyone catch you

Pro Control

You want it all Of course you do You’d crawl across a floor of broken glass to Assert control Pro control Pro control Your god is not mine Bodies that frighten Expressing joy Bodies to dominate Bodies to destroy You want to continue To board up the hole You want it all Pro control Pro control You want it all Of course you do You’d crawl across a floor of broken glass to Assert control Pro control Pro control Your daddy raised you Reared by the gun If one shot doesn’t hit there’ll be Another one You want to continue You’re saving our souls You want it all Pro control You’re coming in hot You’re leaving me cold You want it all Pro control

Grief In Space
03:51
|

I will carry your crown Golden crown And I will hang it in the sky A constellation in the sky Tears have formed a river For you to shine upon Please stay Don’t go Please stay Don’t go I can’t reach you I can’t know you Reasoning with a coin in my palm Sunday came Inevitably
And no sound Will be the same

Beauty In It
03:49
|

|
Everything’s been done So many voices snaking through the world Nothing new under the sun Another fake smile on a Sunshine Girl So look at your hands Look at the way they’re shaking Look at your plans Complications in the making The wheel of time runs by too fast You’re not the first you won’t be last Connection will save us all Can you find the beauty in it Is it worth it if you can’t Everything’s been done But aren’t you curious to navigate Nothing new under the sun You still have a voice we all can elevate Look at your table Have you pulled out chairs for everyone Look at a life Spent too long living as the lonely one The wheel of time runs by too fast You’re not the first you won’t be last Connection will save us all

No Control
03:57
|

|
Rationed on a diet Prepared for countless tables I was not inclined to sit down and Ingest all that poison Although it’s not my cup of tea I’m gonna face the music just to see How consequences shake out for me In the end How things are Where they’ll go What is the secret Who needs to know How things are Where they’ll go Who runs the show here There’s no control Picturing a future That someone mapped out for you Just because they’re frightened That you’ll figure out the reason No one needs to tell me twice I’ll weight my virtue and my vice And skip the notion of a price In the end

I’m going to pull away Going to realign Going to reassess Going to keep what’s mine You see me You hear me Not listening Not taking in I don’t care about speed I just want to get home A fall into bed A sense of relief A hit to the head A kick to the teeth I don’t care about speed I just want to get home

Demolition Days
05:00

Assess the lines Address the times Look at the way the body is changing Assess the lines Address the times Change is good I hear you saying Accept and move on Build and rebuild Don’t let the rot set to stay Accept and move on Build and rebuild Thinking on these demolition days Ending up sad Ending up cold Ending up old Tell yourself that’s what you want
Tell yourself that’s what you need to do Pull up the shades Put up your dukes Set it to time and the river Pull up the shades Put up your dukes Wait for the day to deliver Accept and move on Build and rebuild Don’t let the rot set to stay Accept and move on Build and rebuild Thinking on these demolition days

Doesn’t take a lot To be a boy The world opens up and you get
First pick of the toys Well let’s scratch that veneered surface To find the real purpose don’t be coy Minimum effort Maximum joy Are you getting tired Yes I see it in your face you’re breaking down The world’s on your shoulders and Your knees have hit the ground But your burden’s an illusion
No visible contusions on you, boy Minimum effort Maximum joy How do you look to the future With only the past as a path You can’t be convicted of crimes When it all washes off in the bath How do we walk to the future When you’re constantly guarding the door Are you scared when you see what’s behind it You’ll want more No it doesn’t take a lot to be a boy The world opens up and you get First pick of the toys Well let’s scratch that veneered surface To find the real purpose don’t be coy The grand queer agenda the obvious ploy Minimum effort Maximum joy
