In the Quiet Moments
How do I sit in the quiet moments
When I want to rip my soul from me
Time is slow except when you want it to turn
Sitting on a rock pile whistle won’t go off for hours
Biding your time against your sanity
Sanity screams set me free
The clock isn’t a minute past midnight
So I go back into figuring
What I’ll do with the time that runs out
I don’t want to give this away
Seconds pass time turns I find my quiet times
But I want to run free from the things that hold me back ...
When I want to rip my soul from me
Time is slow except when you want it to turn
Sitting on a rock pile whistle won’t go off for hours
Biding your time against your sanity
Sanity screams set me free
The clock isn’t a minute past midnight
So I go back into figuring
What I’ll do with the time that runs out
I don’t want to give this away
Seconds pass time turns I find my quiet times
But I want to run free from the things that hold me back ...

Moon hasn’t slept for days
Moon hasn’t slept for days
Sun looks over at him and says what are you
Doing
It’s my turn you have to sleep
Moon is salty as a sailor says
I’ll stand and stare at the sun
Have craters you have sun spots
I’m a little satellite you are the Sun around me
Get up early moon isn’t watching me make
breakfast
I haven’t slept for days all I do is think about you
Sleeping awake on a 5 stack with syrup
And some toast and jam
You’re getting ready to be the Sun...
Sun looks over at him and says what are you
Doing
It’s my turn you have to sleep
Moon is salty as a sailor says
I’ll stand and stare at the sun
Have craters you have sun spots
I’m a little satellite you are the Sun around me
Get up early moon isn’t watching me make
breakfast
I haven’t slept for days all I do is think about you
Sleeping awake on a 5 stack with syrup
And some toast and jam
You’re getting ready to be the Sun...

Sew it Up
There’s a hole in the sky
Can we sew it up
There’s a hole in me
Can I repair myself
There’s a hole in basic decency
Can we put it back together
In spite of ourselves and what comes next
Can we sew it up
There’s a hole in me
Can I repair myself
There’s a hole in basic decency
Can we put it back together
In spite of ourselves and what comes next

Light Up
Electricity meets me when I see u
Zombie I’m not thinking a thought
I light up when our eyes focus on
You and me
Can’t find a pulse pull out the paddles
Straddle dreams n nightmares
I see you I light up like a pinball machine
Metal on rubber friction in us until
We meet again We are Electric
Light the city when the power is out
Power is out until I feel you
Light up Los Angeles maybe Montana
You’re the pleasure principle times X
When you’re away I’m a zombie sleeping
See you light up Los Angeles and then some
Zombie I’m not thinking a thought
I light up when our eyes focus on
You and me
Can’t find a pulse pull out the paddles
Straddle dreams n nightmares
I see you I light up like a pinball machine
Metal on rubber friction in us until
We meet again We are Electric
Light the city when the power is out
Power is out until I feel you
Light up Los Angeles maybe Montana
You’re the pleasure principle times X
When you’re away I’m a zombie sleeping
See you light up Los Angeles and then some

Umbrella
I’ll be your umbrella
When dark skies are above you
I’ll be a quiet shoulder you can lay your head upon
When things are not looking so rosy
If you need a place to hide out in
When your feelings are too strong
I’ll be there for you today tomorrow and any day after
If you need a hand up or a pair of hands
To lift the boulders that stand before you
And they block your path to greatness
I’ll be your umbrella
When dark skies are above you
I’ll be a quiet shoulder you can lay your head upon
When things are not looking so rosy
If you need a place to hide out in
When your feelings are too strong
I’ll be there for you today tomorrow and any day after
If you need a hand up or a pair of hands
To lift the boulders that stand before you
And they block your path to greatness
I’ll be your umbrella

Heart So Tender
Heart so tender
Want somebody
Not any body will do
Someone who feels me
And can give some tenderness
Could you be the one
I’m not the judge of you
Warm like a friend on the block
With a toe ring that sings to me
On the sand digging in to you
Pop up umbrella made for two
Sunset on the bay
Romanticized in your eyes so
Nibble back of your neck
Now we’re talking love
Hold you close to my heart
Beating heaven in my chest
Your breath in my ear ...
Want somebody
Not any body will do
Someone who feels me
And can give some tenderness
Could you be the one
I’m not the judge of you
Warm like a friend on the block
With a toe ring that sings to me
On the sand digging in to you
Pop up umbrella made for two
Sunset on the bay
Romanticized in your eyes so
Nibble back of your neck
Now we’re talking love
Hold you close to my heart
Beating heaven in my chest
Your breath in my ear ...

Feel pain in the In between
Feel pain in the in between
Feel real now
I’m not in between of
Pleasure time release
Body capsule
All along the line
Pulse not on the scale
I register the heart beat
I’m real now so I can
Show you my scars
Trails off into blue sky
Cotton on top of
Wisps of my self
I’m not angry with me
Or with my bitter soul
I feel the pain in the in between
Feel the pain in between
Itches I can’t scratch
Surround me and my self
Reach for the pill bottle
...
Feel real now
I’m not in between of
Pleasure time release
Body capsule
All along the line
Pulse not on the scale
I register the heart beat
I’m real now so I can
Show you my scars
Trails off into blue sky
Cotton on top of
Wisps of my self
I’m not angry with me
Or with my bitter soul
I feel the pain in the in between
Feel the pain in between
Itches I can’t scratch
Surround me and my self
Reach for the pill bottle

Gaza escape
Gaza escape how do you escape the suffering
Rounds pound out the sound all I hear is screaming in the distance
As a dust cloud rises I see the consequences
Stand on rubble it used to home me and my family
I see a piece of her dress peeking out of disaster
I pull rocks and bleed through the ground
In a moment of things I wouldn’t present
To the Devil or my worst enemy
Rounds pound out the sound all I hear is screaming in the distance
As a dust cloud rises I see the consequences
Stand on rubble it used to home me and my family
I see a piece of her dress peeking out of disaster
I pull rocks and bleed through the ground
In a moment of things I wouldn’t present
To the Devil or my worst enemy

Was so pretty she didn’t sign up for this
Blue eyes with a smite that would melt your heart
Her (supposed) dad was a drug demon
She had to live all these nightmares
5 years old pretty as a penny
She suffered something I don’t want to see
5 years old looking for some Parents
Living in the back seat of an Oldsmobile
In a drug nightmare she shouldn’t see
Dad was a fuck up and Mom was missing
She’s being pounded beyond belief
I wish I...

Black Heart Red
What does black heart do when love is red
Looking for love in run down places
Quick one nighter but nothing lasting
What no one knows is the black heart has a soul
He doesn’t want to admit it
He lets nobody see it but he takes it out late at night
Looking for something deeper
Not getting any younger
Feelin lonely on this red heart day
See love all around but it doesn’t get
Deep in the black heart
Have a red heart near but she has no place in her life for my black soul
But this black heart...
Looking for love in run down places
Quick one nighter but nothing lasting
What no one knows is the black heart has a soul
He doesn’t want to admit it
He lets nobody see it but he takes it out late at night
Looking for something deeper
Not getting any younger
Feelin lonely on this red heart day
See love all around but it doesn’t get
Deep in the black heart
Have a red heart near but she has no place in her life for my black soul
But this black heart...

Just Speak
As I stare at the spiders web
I wonder what comes next something joyful
Or some pain put back into me
Each minute passes we think there are more than these
Next moment life changes rearrange my soul
So if you’re breathing suck all life out of it
Don’t go to your bed of roses regrets in your casket
Spit it out your Bible anything that passions you
You can’t take anything with you across the river
So stand up strong chest out
The world can’t hurt that I will not allow
Put your life’s dream into...
I wonder what comes next something joyful
Or some pain put back into me
Each minute passes we think there are more than these
Next moment life changes rearrange my soul
So if you’re breathing suck all life out of it
Don’t go to your bed of roses regrets in your casket
Spit it out your Bible anything that passions you
You can’t take anything with you across the river
So stand up strong chest out
The world can’t hurt that I will not allow
Put your life’s dream into...

How
How much is you beating heart worth
How many beating hearts
Are on that private jet
How many beating hearts
Are suffering
How many beating hearts
Have to stop to make us real again
How many have to suffer
For the entertainment of billionaires
How many times can we scream out
How many times silence all around
How many is not enough
How many is too much hurt
Or is it not enough do you want more
Suffering in the dark where no one hears
Their...
