Safe Havens
My head has a few safe havens,
Where the robes are always stained.
I run away to safe havens,
But the pain will always remain.
My eyes have a few safe havens,
They are few and far between.
Come now, come fast sweet maiden,
Because my brain is never clean.
No love,
No loss,
This is where I die.
Safe place,
Safe space,
Why am I alive?
My life has a few safe havens,
But pain is still all I feel.
Take me away from safe havens,
I need these places to be real.
Where the robes are always stained.
I run away to safe havens,
But the pain will always remain.
My eyes have a few safe havens,
They are few and far between.
Come now, come fast sweet maiden,
Because my brain is never clean.
No love,
No loss,
This is where I die.
Safe place,
Safe space,
Why am I alive?
My life has a few safe havens,
But pain is still all I feel.
Take me away from safe havens,
I need these places to be real.

How to be Human
When humans
Tell humans
How to be human,
The Mormons get wives,
The Muslims get virgins,
And I get to sin whenever I want.
When humans
Tell humans
How to be human,
The Christians get heaven,
The Atheists get nothing,
And I get to die whenever I want.
Amidst the sunder,
I begin to wonder...
Who told humans to
Tell humans
How to be human
In the first place?
Tell humans
How to be human,
The Mormons get wives,
The Muslims get virgins,
And I get to sin whenever I want.
When humans
Tell humans
How to be human,
The Christians get heaven,
The Atheists get nothing,
And I get to die whenever I want.
Amidst the sunder,
I begin to wonder...
Who told humans to
Tell humans
How to be human
In the first place?

Someone To Look To
You don't have to fill the space,
Silence is my resting place.
Yet I'm not mad that you do,
Sometimes I need someone to look to.
When I'm hollow,
When I'm empty,
When no one else can see me.
When I'm broke,
When I'm spent,
When my brain needs a freebie.
When I'm shallow,
When I'm deep,
When I stop to smell the breeze.
When I've lost,
When I've won,
As I wonder through our trees.
You don't have to fill the space,
Ups and downs bombard my face.
Yet I'm not mad that you do..
Sometimes its...
Silence is my resting place.
Yet I'm not mad that you do,
Sometimes I need someone to look to.
When I'm hollow,
When I'm empty,
When no one else can see me.
When I'm broke,
When I'm spent,
When my brain needs a freebie.
When I'm shallow,
When I'm deep,
When I stop to smell the breeze.
When I've lost,
When I've won,
As I wonder through our trees.
You don't have to fill the space,
Ups and downs bombard my face.
Yet I'm not mad that you do..
Sometimes its...

Sly Devil, Baby
Help! I can't get out of bed.
There's a devil in my head.
He's laughing at me..
Such a sly devil, Baby.
Run! There's a devil in him.
Thank God for my discrimination.
He puts them below me..
What a sly devil, Baby.
All the pain, all the gain,
Who's to blame?
Sly Devil, Baby.
All the love, all the hate,
What's my name?
Sly Devil, Baby.
Accuse religion, accuse biology,
It's all inside of me.
I can't help but be
A sly devil, Baby.
There's a devil in my head.
He's laughing at me..
Such a sly devil, Baby.
Run! There's a devil in him.
Thank God for my discrimination.
He puts them below me..
What a sly devil, Baby.
All the pain, all the gain,
Who's to blame?
Sly Devil, Baby.
All the love, all the hate,
What's my name?
Sly Devil, Baby.
Accuse religion, accuse biology,
It's all inside of me.
I can't help but be
A sly devil, Baby.

Do You
To be scared of death
Is
To be scared of life
And
What's the point of this
If
We don't make it grand?
Is
To be scared of life
And
What's the point of this
If
We don't make it grand?

Soul State
Welcome to my dinner table.
You wont get a plate,
But you might get a bowl.
Welcome to my dinner table.
It's not about state,
It's about soul.
You wont get a plate,
But you might get a bowl.
Welcome to my dinner table.
It's not about state,
It's about soul.

TV Remote, Car Keys, and Motivation
I can't remember where I put it.
I can't remember where it's at.
Wait...
Would you look at that?
I can't remember where it's at.
Wait...

Craters
I bought groceries and stress ate them all.
I bought drugs and yolo smoke overhaul.
I bet I'll regret this decision later,
Because the feeling I'm after leaves craters.
Its not glorious in any form or sense.
I can't help but stay on the fence.
I know I'll regret this decision later,
Because I'm so far down in these craters.
There are two rifts in my tired mind.
They remind me I'll never be streamlined.
I'll leave the consequences for later.
Please, just leave me in my craters.
I bought drugs and yolo smoke overhaul.
I bet I'll regret this decision later,
Because the feeling I'm after leaves craters.
Its not glorious in any form or sense.
I can't help but stay on the fence.
I know I'll regret this decision later,
Because I'm so far down in these craters.
There are two rifts in my tired mind.
They remind me I'll never be streamlined.
I'll leave the consequences for later.
Please, just leave me in my craters.

Patience
If only, if only,
The sunshine was light.
If only, if only,
That gaze shook me right.
Please own me, please own me,
He pleas from his soul.
If only, if only,
I could own my own.
The burden of nothing,
Reveals something free,
Something forgotten,
The only way to be.
If only, if only,
The sunshine was light.
My one, my only,
Wait will wait alright.
The sunshine was light.
If only, if only,
That gaze shook me right.
Please own me, please own me,
He pleas from his soul.
If only, if only,
I could own my own.
The burden of nothing,
Reveals something free,
Something forgotten,
The only way to be.
If only, if only,
The sunshine was light.
My one, my only,
Wait will wait alright.

Garden of Cement
These eyes, lies, and dimes enchant.
Silly wonderment.
I'll take being taken for granted
As a compliment.
This world is a fun filled place,
Let's run run run to space.
These day by days have their toll.
Love, life is a grind.
Thank God for Sex, Drugs, and Rock and Roll,
Shall we leave our minds?
My world is a fun filled place,
Let's run run run to space.
These greens and blues now cower.
A predicament.
Mounds of black tar and red brick is our
Garden of Cement.
Our world is a fun...
Silly wonderment.
I'll take being taken for granted
As a compliment.
This world is a fun filled place,
Let's run run run to space.
These day by days have their toll.
Love, life is a grind.
Thank God for Sex, Drugs, and Rock and Roll,
Shall we leave our minds?
My world is a fun filled place,
Let's run run run to space.
These greens and blues now cower.
A predicament.
Mounds of black tar and red brick is our
Garden of Cement.
