Poet Introduction
Been writing songs since I was nine. I can't be the judge of when they started being good, but I have a massive backlog that I'm going to be dumping here. Possibly all of them, even though a lot are rather embarrassing.

Don't Talk That Way
Oh, see, I been a-talking like the boys on the street.
Been a-talking that way to everyone I meet.
When I come a-home, Momma look at me and say.
"Babe, you know better than to talk that way."
But I keep on speaking like the gangstery men.
I saw a pretty little girl, you know what I did then.
While I was flirting, she look at me and say.
"Babe, you know better than to talk that way."
So I look at her and say "Don't talk that way."
Yay!
She's a foxy little girl in every single way.
Even when...

Radio Silence
When the quiet night gets you down.
You always like to take a walk in town.
Where you see young lovers walk around.
Holding hands and singing to the clouds.
You return home alone and you are found.
Sitting on your own without a sound.
There’s nobody in here to take you out.
So you turn to what always makes you feel drowned.
In the radio silence, the static takes your hand.
It carries you to islands covered in golden sand.
Oh, oh, radio silence, who’s coming through?
Carries along and holds on to you.
Drift in the...

Still Nowhere
Smear me, fear me.
Don't wanna get near me, cheer me.
I call you a crazy lady.
We'll fall in love baby, maybe.
Yeah, that's the right stuff.
Yeah, can't get enough.
But that's how it goes.
Make new highs and new lows.
Tapping my fingers to the beat of your shows.
Yeah, so?
That's what I mean when I'm in between.
A girl and the wall is still nowhere it seems.
Throw on a red dress.
Something to impress.
Babe, I'm not thoughtless.
I just need to top this.
Show what I'm made of.
Not what...
Don't wanna get near me, cheer me.
I call you a crazy lady.
We'll fall in love baby, maybe.
Yeah, that's the right stuff.

Hello Darling
Tune in to me when you’re alone.
I will make my way to your home.
Wisp around you, float in your head.
I will sing to you when you’re in bed.
Hear my voice caress your ears.
Allaying doubt and all your fears.
Listen to my sultry voice.
And drift away into the noise.
When you awake I will be there just the same as before.
I am just the empty air hidden behind your door.
Hello, darling, I’m the music and song.
If you want me, I will never be long.
Over the years my body has changed.
I’ve grown smaller,...
I will make my way to your home.
Wisp around you, float in your head.
I will sing to you when you’re in bed.
Hear my voice caress your ears.
Allaying doubt and all your fears.
Listen to my sultry voice.
And drift away into the noise.
When you awake I will be there just the same as before.
I am just the empty air hidden behind your door.
Hello, darling, I’m the music and song.
If you want me, I will never be long.
Over the years my body has changed.
I’ve grown smaller,...

Tomorrow's Rain
Well, there's a place you hide.
Where your soul abides.
And it's deep inside your heart.
Where you'd take a ride, but your mind confides.
And it's not your pride, it's shame.
You'd rather go to that place called home.
But you just don't know, so you play your card.
When you're lost, unknown, and you're feeling owned.
And you've sold your soul to tomorrow's rain.
It may bring you pain.
You may say it's a shame.
But the fact remains.
You can't buy tomorrow's rain today.
No, I don't believe in the...
Where your soul abides.
And it's deep inside your heart.
Where you'd take a ride, but your mind confides.
And it's not your pride, it's shame.

But you just don't know, so you play your card.
When you're lost, unknown, and you're feeling owned.

Down In The Jungle
Down in the deepest, darkest jungle.
Where the world's as good as old.
Some people seem to find the courage.
To do as they've been told.
Though as the nations crumble.
We'll always be the same.
We'll never be as humble.
As the crazed, mad and insane.
Down in the jungle.
No place for you and I.
Yeah, down in the jungle.
I'll stop to watch you cry as you watch me die.
Like faces of the dying people.
Repentance can't be called.
Like children dying in the jungle.
Oh, God would be appalled.
Down...
Where the world's as good as old.
Some people seem to find the courage.
To do as they've been told.
Though as the nations crumble.
We'll always be the same.
We'll never be as humble.
As the crazed, mad and insane.
Down in the jungle.
No place for you and I.
Yeah, down in the jungle.
I'll stop to watch you cry as you watch me die.
Like faces of the dying people.
Repentance can't be called.
Like children dying in the jungle.
Oh, God would be appalled.

Face Changer
It’s a sunny parade.
And the dark’s delayed.
There’s magic in the light today.
Just a walk downtown.
I can lead you around.
Until we are homeward bound.
My home is your home.
So come on in.
It’s so inviting.
You’ll never be seen again.
Face changer.
Behind the scenes.
Disguising the screams.
Face changer.
Drastic reveal.
Alluring appeal.
Come and gather round me.
I’m here for you to see.
I’m the greatest that I could be.
Lots of tongues will spar.
But I’ll...
And the dark’s delayed.
There’s magic in the light today.
Just a walk downtown.
I can lead you around.
Until we are homeward bound.
My home is your home.
So come on in.

You’ll never be seen again.

Changing The Seasons
You don’t even know my name.
But to you it’s all the same.
I’m still the one to blame.
Have you heard the cry?
Soft-spoken genocide.
Near the end of time.
I live in a world of journeys.
Darkness taking over the times.
So lead your own to the post.
Take your face off, it’ll be fine.
Heaven will be a place on Earth.
So long as we’re willing to sacrifice.
Unworthy will all fall away.
So show your fangs and roll the dice.
Changing the seasons.
Suffocate reason.
Bringing out doubt.
Wringing...
But to you it’s all the same.
I’m still the one to blame.
Have you heard the cry?

What I Grew Up On
In a world that no one knows.
Learning life lessons from Tyler and Rose.
Playing Halo 3 and my posse's pwned.
Important skills I'll take with me when I'm grown.
So I made this number, though my dad thinks it's wrong.
And so does my mother, and so does her mom.
So I'll sang in the style of an AC/DC song.
And give it the title "What I Grew Up On".
What I grew up on.
Yeah, what I grew up on.
Oh, a Cadillac or a Buick Mackane.
I can feel the tarmac.
Built to entertain.
Traveling first class on a one way...
Learning life lessons from Tyler and Rose.
Playing Halo 3 and my posse's pwned.
Important skills I'll take with me when I'm grown.
So I made this number, though my dad thinks it's wrong.
And so does my mother, and so does her mom.
So I'll sang in the style of an AC/DC song.
And give it the title "What I Grew Up On".
What I grew up on.
Yeah, what I grew up on.
Oh, a Cadillac or a Buick Mackane.

A Good View
Ever since I first lay my eyes upon you.
I’ve been waiting for this moment to arrive.
Watching as that movement I’ve been waiting through.
Rests a brand new visage on my eyes.
I have been blessed with a good view.
Sitting here atop of this statue.
You look so good, don’t you know?
I knew you’d look better without the bow.
I understand you’re hiding in plain sight.
But you don’t have to hide that side from me.
I won’t tell you if you are wrong or right.
Just listen when I tell you what I see.
I have been blessed with...
I’ve been waiting for this moment to arrive.
Watching as that movement I’ve been waiting through.
Rests a brand new visage on my eyes.
I have been blessed with a good view.
Sitting here atop of this statue.
You look so good, don’t you know?

A Dream Half-Remembered
Life is so far behind me.
I can not see anything.
I try to find inside my mind.
Some truth behind it all.
Storm winds creep in and find me.
So hard to stand this half-dream.
I can't remember if it's real.
These secrets it reveals.
There's no correct path backward.
I cannot see the last word.
I can't hear the reason for it all.
Going forward.
This goal of mine is absurd.
I'll only get myself hurt.
Looking through this dream.
Half-remembered.
Wake up, dead child, show your face.
This is...
I can not see anything.
I try to find inside my mind.
Some truth behind it all.
Storm winds creep in and find me.
So hard to stand this half-dream.
I can't remember if it's real.
These secrets it reveals.
There's no correct path backward.
I cannot see the last word.
I can't hear the reason for it all.
Going forward.
This goal of mine is absurd.
I'll only get myself hurt.

Wake up, dead child, show your face.

A Breeze In The Wind
Deep into another nightmare.
The skies alive with flare.
Alone on the wall I stand.
The banner is in my hand.
Are you ready for the siege tonight?
We’re walking to victory.
Hey you men, come into the light.
We’re making history.
We are the breeze in the wind.
A zephyr whisper before we begin.
At the head of a thousand, I enter in.
Strong as the wind.
Caught up in another run.
Standing tall, the war is won.
I see your face before me now.
There is one thing I can’t allow.
Are you ready for...
The skies alive with flare.
Alone on the wall I stand.
The banner is in my hand.
Are you ready for the siege tonight?
We’re walking to victory.
Hey you men, come into the light.
We’re making history.
We are the breeze in the wind.
A zephyr whisper before we begin.
At the head of a thousand, I enter in.
Strong as the wind.
Caught up in another run.
Standing tall, the war is won.
I see your face before me now.
There is one thing I can’t allow.
Are you ready for...
