Does Anybody Dream a Comedy
I'm wakin' up again from a bad nightmare
and I don't think I can fall back asleep
even though it's late, I know I'll be okay
but I'm tired of the same old, same old, tragedy
does anybody dream a comedy
or am I the only one who never has?
is it odd I've never heard a laugh
or a piano playin' Alley Cat
so I'm wonderin' if anybody dreams in comedies
unlike me
the road is dry and boring on this long haul out to west Texas
and I'm itchin' for a break to catch some zzz's
not because I'm tired, no, the situation's...
and I don't think I can fall back asleep
even though it's late, I know I'll be okay
but I'm tired of the same old, same old, tragedy
does anybody dream a comedy
or am I the only one who never has?
is it odd I've never heard a laugh
or a piano playin' Alley Cat
so I'm wonderin' if anybody dreams in comedies
unlike me
the road is dry and boring on this long haul out to west Texas
and I'm itchin' for a break to catch some zzz's
not because I'm tired, no, the situation's...

How Do I
How do I ,
Oh…How do I live without you
How do I ever, ever survive? “
I’ve asked myself these questions multiple times,
And still didn’t find a proper answer.
Maybe it’s how it is meant to be,
Maybe just a needed symbol wrongly placed in the equation
A storm of time molded us apart since the start,
Shattered across thousand miles,
Of skies and lands between us.
So heavy to carry,
“ How do I ,
Oh…How do I live without you
How do I ever, ever survive?”
Memories that never was mine, ...
Oh…How do I live without you
How do I ever, ever survive? “
I’ve asked myself these questions multiple times,
And still didn’t find a proper answer.
Maybe it’s how it is meant to be,
Maybe just a needed symbol wrongly placed in the equation
A storm of time molded us apart since the start,
Shattered across thousand miles,
Of skies and lands between us.
So heavy to carry,
“ How do I ,
Oh…How do I live without you
How do I ever, ever survive?”
Memories that never was mine, ...

Ideas
I didn't know there was a currency for an
Idea
I thought at least that was free
My dear
But what is coming off in waves of
I fear
Is that the cash in this cave is
insincere
Giving you what I got, was a token in a
pond
It caused too many ripples to stay afloat
or stand on
Wanted to give back what I
gravitated to
But the money is stacked against me, I didn't have
a clue ...

Steeped in Music
Attack the instrument
Like it’s your last breath
Get under the nails
Lift up the planks
Train steamroller
Across the tracks
Living your best life
Steeped in music
Me and PJJ approach
Give our ticket
Stamp on the back of the wrist
Says we can re-enter
Punk velvet on the stage
Thunders through our heart
As we descend
This chick is fucking hot
With an axe to spare
Iggy Popping in
Underground Arts
Vodka and orange juice
But it’s all ice ...
Like it’s your last breath
Get under the nails
Lift up the planks
Train steamroller
Across the tracks
Living your best life
Steeped in music
Me and PJJ approach
Give our ticket
Stamp on the back of the wrist
Says we can re-enter
Punk velvet on the stage
Thunders through our heart
As we descend
This chick is fucking hot
With an axe to spare

Mining Me
Mining Me
Like a miner
With a pick axe
Pieces of memory
Below is unearthed goods
Feeling for the fault line
Coal car on the rails
Carry away my pain
Leave me with deep pools
Of deep thoughts
Letting the world see
Everything
Sifting and with a pan
Looking for gold
In my head
Can’t put it down fast enough
Coursing through my being
Wake up in the night
Tap a few out on my iPhone
Need something for the people
Builds in my head ...
Like a miner
With a pick axe
Pieces of memory
Below is unearthed goods
Feeling for the fault line
Coal car on the rails
Carry away my pain
Leave me with deep pools
Of deep thoughts
Letting the world see
Everything
Sifting and with a pan
Looking for gold
In my head
Can’t put it down fast enough
Coursing through my being
Wake up in the night
Tap a few out on my iPhone
Need something for the people
Builds in my head ...

"The Machine" Short Audio Version
What is the machine but the child of our hand,
Born not of nature’s womb but thought's demand?
It grows like a child, then turns to a beast,
Its bones of steel, its hunger unleashed.
Heartbeat pounding, gears in time,
Is it our creation, or the shape of our climb?
Oh, the machine, a mirror of the soul,
A marvel, a terror, it makes us whole.
Does it reflect, or does it consume?
Is it life’s new dawn or our silent tomb?
You, a traveler from the stars afar,
Gaze at our machine, the iron...
Born not of nature’s womb but thought's demand?
It grows like a child, then turns to a beast,
Its bones of steel, its hunger unleashed.
Heartbeat pounding, gears in time,
Is it our creation, or the shape of our climb?
Oh, the machine, a mirror of the soul,
A marvel, a terror, it makes us whole.
Does it reflect, or does it consume?
Is it life’s new dawn or our silent tomb?
You, a traveler from the stars afar,
Gaze at our machine, the iron...

Final Four for my Soul
Ball n tunes vs smoke n alcohol (Final Four for my soul)
Epic battle like Tyson vs Ali
Goliath and David
In the garden
Who wins will decide my soul
Rooting for bball but alcohol calls me
Back in to swim and lose myself
Find my way to the surface
Hearing tunes of dolphins
Smell skunk on the horizon
Sink into oblivion
Clear brain can’t find a word
To put together
Spirit’s figure it out
Playin leather and pulling strings
Are things of Buddha beings
...

I Quit the P.O.
I quit the P.O.
I QUIT the Post Office near me
To stand on a stage in a seedy corner of town not far from here
The P.O. paid my bills gave me (almost) middle class
Kept a roof over and paid all the bills
Even had enough to spend on the kids
What was I thinking I can’t pay for schooling
Playing in a dive bar
I quit the P O to pursue my dreams
Wake up look around at the damage I’ve done
Hope to wake up drunk on a rock star yacht
Forget about the damage I’ve done
The kids have the best...

10000 Minutes
10000 minutes feel like hours but
My fingers are bleeding
My shoulder is hurting
This is what you have to suffer
To be like one of them
Every chance if I sit down I pick it up
Calluses forming on my finger
Putting in the time I’m feeling it
Even if it hurts my body
I lean on it trying to be a poet
I strum the stupidest shit you could imagine
But I’m in the game and I can’t complain
In the shortest minute I think I found it
All the sudden you sound almost good
But you are not...
My fingers are bleeding
My shoulder is hurting
This is what you have to suffer
To be like one of them
Every chance if I sit down I pick it up
Calluses forming on my finger
Putting in the time I’m feeling it
Even if it hurts my body
I lean on it trying to be a poet
I strum the stupidest shit you could imagine
But I’m in the game and I can’t complain
In the shortest minute I think I found it
All the sudden you sound almost good
But you are not...

The Dreamer and the Dream
(In coming to, I come to find that)
I've been living the life of a character in a dream
And I care about my character, but I know that he's not me
And as I look around at all the people living out their reverie,
I see
Everything is happening within
Nothing's really happening without
Everyone is wondering (what it all means)
I'm the dreamer, and I am the dream
There's no thinker thinking anything
I am dreaming you, you're dreaming me
I am dreaming you, you're dreaming me
I am dreaming you, and you are dreaming me ...
I've been living the life of a character in a dream
And I care about my character, but I know that he's not me
And as I look around at all the people living out their reverie,
I see
Everything is happening within
Nothing's really happening without
Everyone is wondering (what it all means)
I'm the dreamer, and I am the dream
There's no thinker thinking anything
I am dreaming you, you're dreaming me
I am dreaming you, you're dreaming me
I am dreaming you, and you are dreaming me ...

Metronome
You are my metronome
I’m a beat off and i swim in my head
Your steady rhythm puts me back into
Real that I should pay attention to
You are the dorsal fin you keep me straight
I’m into my own beat just a beat off
Living in my truths that I lie to me
I come back to you you set the rhythm
The rhythm between me and you and then some
Metronome ticks within me now
You set the rhythm I lay it down
Rhythm and rhyme and why r h y
You take me back into myself ...
I’m a beat off and i swim in my head
Your steady rhythm puts me back into
Real that I should pay attention to
You are the dorsal fin you keep me straight
I’m into my own beat just a beat off
Living in my truths that I lie to me
I come back to you you set the rhythm
The rhythm between me and you and then some
Metronome ticks within me now
You set the rhythm I lay it down
Rhythm and rhyme and why r h y
You take me back into myself ...
