Beautiful Friend
03:13
|
|||
I feel those days without end
When we used to be friends
Those summer days were spent
In search of hope and happiness
We used to while away our days
In a beautiful haze
I guess I knew one day
That you'd be moving long away
You said go back to your dream
Back to your wilderness
Go back along the walk
Maybe you'll find some happiness
I wept a thousand tears for you
For my love that came true
And soon I realized
I'd always dreamt it'd come to this
And though that time passes by
And that our lives have changed
But our love was special
Our love was strange
And though my heart broke
In time it did mend
Except when I think about the time
That we used to be friends

I don't want you but I hate to lose you
You got me in between the devil and the deep blue sea
I forgive you 'cause I can't forget you
You got me in between the devil and the deep blue sea
I want to cross you off my list
But when you come knocking at my door
Fate seems to give my heart a twist
And I come running back for more
do do do do do do do do do do
devil and the deep blue sea
I should hate you but I guess I love you
I should hate you but I guess, I love you
You got me in between the devil and the deep blue sea
You got me in between the devil and the deep blue sea

Black Angel's Death Song
03:12
|
|||
The myriad choices of his fate
Set themselves out upon a plate
For him to choose
What had he to lose
Not a ghost bloodied country
All covered with sleep
Where the black angel did weep
Not an old city street in the east
Gone to choose
And wandering's brother
Walked on through the night
With his hair in his face
On a long splintered cut from the knife of G.T.
The rally man's patter ran on through the dawn
Until we said so long
To his skull-shrill yell
Shining brightly red-rimmed and
Red-lined with the time
Infused with the choice of the mind
On ice skates scraping chunks
From the bells
Cut mouth bleeding razor's
Forgetting the pain
Antiseptic remains cool goodbye
So you fly
To the cozy brown snow of the east
Gone to choose, choose again
Sacrificials remains make it hard to forget
Where you come from
The stools of your eyes
Serve to realize fame, choose again
And roverman's refrain of the sacrilege recluse
For the loss of a horse
Went the bowels and a tail of a rat
Come again, choose to go
And if Epiphany's terror reduced you to shame
Have your head bobbed and weaved
Choose a side to be on
If the stone glances off
Split didactics in two
Leave the colors of the mouse trails
Don't scream, try between
If you choose, if you choose, try to lose
For the loss of remain come and start
Start the game I che che che che I
Che che ka tak koh
Choose to choose
Choose to choose, choose to go

Everything

You're a falling star, you're the get away car
You're the line in the sand when I go too far
You're the swimming pool, on an August day
And you're the perfect thing to say
And you play it coy, but it's kinda cute
Oh, when you smile at me you know exactly what you do
Baby don't pretend, that you don't know it's true
'Cause you can see it when I look at you
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, you make me sing
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything
You're a carousel, you're a wishing well
And you light me up, when you ring my bell
You're a mystery, you're from outer space
You're every minute of my everyday
And I can't believe, uh that I'm your man
And I get to kiss you baby just because I can
Whatever comes our way, oh we'll see it through
And you know that's what our love can do
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, you make me sing
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything
So, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
So, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, you make me sing
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything
You're every song, and I sing along
'Cause you're my everything
Yeah, yeah
So, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
So, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Gravity
05:31
|
|||
This remind me of a lover
Back when I was young and blind
And much too dumb to see the reasons
Why this love did not survive
My friends would talk
I hear the chatter
Growing louder in my mind
With all the warnings I denied
This regret feels like a mountain
That I've forced myself to climb
All the while becoming steeper
And stretching further from my sight
So does the height of this great mountain represent my length of life?
Or will I climb up just to be plucked from the side?
And gravity continues to force me down
But won't break me
And I will keep holding on til the end
But I keep wishing the mistakes that I'm making would teach me something
I'm reaching new heights of discomfort
Slamming doors inside my head
Reliving my past endeavors
Making up what would have been
I feel like I might go insane
If I start believing that this
Is how my life would be if I could change it
And gravity continues to force me down
But won't break me
And I will keep holding on til the end
But I keep wishing the mistakes that I'm making would teach me something.
Don't wanna waste my life
Becoming frustrated and lazy
I feel like letting go this time
It's a long way to fall
All the demons that haunt me
Can't hurt me
Demons that haunt me
Can't break me
demons that haunt me
Can't hurt me
Demons that haunt me
Won't break me
demons that haunt me
Can't hurt me
Demons that haunt me
Won't break me
All the demons that haunt me
Can't hurt me
Demons that haunt me
Can't bring me down
And gravity continues to force me down
But won't break me
And I will keep holding on til the end
But I keep wishing the mistakes that I'm making would teach me something beautiful
Beautiful

Inheritance
03:19
|

Mother, Father, I'm doing OK
On the other side of the country, far away
And though I know the things that you want to hear me say
Sometimes these things are hard
Mother, Father, I am your son
Right down to the long thin pointed face
And this muddled up and twisted tongue
And now I find that I'm doing
All those things you would have done
Sometimes these things are hard
Ch: So do I thank you? Do I curse you?
These tracks stretch out before me - the ones you left behind
What I want and what I feel - it's yours, yours, not mine
Mother, Father, all those battles that have been
And the long, long silences that lay in between
Please don't try to tell me all those were in vain
Sometimes these things are hard
We line up at the wedding in rows of deep set eyes
In our finest formal dresses and proper suits and ties
Like a family of Munsters in a really bad disguise
Ch: So do I thank you? Do I curse you?
These tracks stretch out before me - the ones you left behind
What I want and what I feel - it's yours, yours, not mine

I've Learned
01:35
|

"If I’ve learned anything from life, it’s that sometimes, the darkest times can bring us to the brightest places. I’ve learned that the most toxic people can teach us the most important lessons; that our most painful struggles can grant us the most necessary growth; and that the most heartbreaking losses of friendship and love can make room for the most wonderful people. I’ve learned that what seems like a curse in the moment can actually be a blessing, and that what seems like the end of the road is actually just the discovery that we are meant to travel down a different path. I’ve learned that no matter how difficult things seem, there is always hope. And I’ve learned that no matter how powerless we feel or how horrible things seem, we can’t give up. We have to keep going. Even when it’s scary, even when all of our strength seems gone, we have to keep picking ourselves back up and moving forward, because whatever we’re battling in the moment, it will pass, and we will make it through. We’ve made it this far. We can make it through whatever comes next."

I'm an outsider
Outside of everything
I'm an outsider
Outside of everything
I'm an outsider
Outside of everything
Everything you know
Everything you know
It disturbs me so
I'm an outsider
Outside of everything
I'm an outsider
Outside of everything
I'm an outsider
Outside of everything
Everything you know
Everything you know
It disturbs me so
Everybody tried to push me
Push me around
Everybody tried to put me
Try to put me down
All messed up, hey everyone
I've already had all my fun
More troubles are gonna come
I've already had all my fun
Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah
Everybody tried to push me
Push me around
Everybody tried to put me
Try to put me down
I'm an outsider
Outside of everything
I'm an outsider
Outside of everything
I'm an outsider
Outside of everything
Everything you know
Everything you know
It disturbs me so

Even in Hell
Sound spirals down
Alone in our torment
Our songs can reach to each other
Even in the void
Words bounce around
Echoes compound into another world
That we can escape to
That we can escape to
At least I hope there's somewhere left to go
And that we can all make it through
My heart always ached for a thing and I never even knew what it was
My broken heart
My broken soul
My broken songs
People made fun of the songs but
And it's true we're broken
But we blend in with all of this debris
So long as we're together
Hell's the safest place on Earth for us to be

Sorry Bro I Love You
01:31

Sorry, I love you
Sorry bro, I'm thinkin' of you
I don't wanna bug you
But sorry bro, I love you
You know I'm always thinkin' of you every day
And when I try to look at you, you look away
Sometimes it's hard to find the words I wanna say
Every day, I feel you fading
I know, I know, we always wrestle
I know sometimes I put up a fight
I know, I know, we always tussle
But maybe it's because I love you
Sorry bro, I love you
Sorry bro, I love you
I can't stop thinkin' of you
Sorry bro, I love you
And when we're kickin' it you know I think it's chill
'Cause I can count on you to always keep it real
That's why I'm singin', man
'Cause I want you to know bro, no homo
I know, I know, we always wrestle
I know sometimes I put up a fight
I know, I know, we always tussle
But maybe it's because I love you
Sorry bro, I love you
Sorry bro, I love you
I can't stop thinkin' of you
Sorry bro, I love you
Sorry that I need you
You know I always wanna be there for you
Sorry, didn't mean it, I love you
Sorry bro, I love you

True love will find you in the end
You'll find out just who was your friend
Don't be sad, I know you will
But don't give up until
True love will find you in the end
This is a promise with a catch
Only if you're looking can it find you
'Cause true love is searching too
But how can it recognize you
If you don't step out into the light, the light
Don't be sad I know you will
Don't give up until
True love will find you in the end

Walls Into Ways

I don’t care what the assignments are
I don’t care what new thing is worth living for
I don’t need proof to tell me that I’m good
you make me understand (that) Im understood
I care about these simple elements
I care how u feel and how u arrived at it
contagiously clean love your obsession with the path of development
turning walls into ways

I'm a musician who has collaborated with many better musicians over the years, but due to struggles with mental illness I
have devolved & decided to not release anything else to the public. This page is a document of what I created before and during my decline.
