Save the Date

So much to say with nowhere to start
Broken-hearted ballads of your salad days are so bizarre
And taking photographs like modern art
to substitute the absolutely futile ways you fall apart
Finally feel like myself again
Containing what mainly is relevant
I tend to move in a groove less than vacant
Why do I act so evasive?
Seeking to serve, but it's safe to say
"No I got to much on plate"
Begging your comrades and making fake promises
Oddly you often confide in a grave
I no longer fight all urges to cry it keeps me alive
Taking it by, day by day in the fire I can lie
Oh God, I'd like to think I've left that all behind
But days go by and I don't like the void I see inside my eyes
Someday you'll find these words about me
Oh look, the pulse here is dead and gone
Let's straighten out our brain and body
Let's suffer straight down the narrow line
What would it take to cover my face
Leave it to fate, take it straight through my aching body?
Sorry I fake it I was insane
I'll save the date cuz I had it made all along
And I reserve the right to never air it out
My conscious conjures mantras much to sickening to say out loud
Trust me when I say I have no hit box or a need for help
There are no words more evil than the ones that I say to myself
Met me halfway to the light
Break me down cuz I don't mind
Impressing people I don't like
These circles break lord by and by
I've only been here thirty years
Landlocked on this dry earth
Tied down to mind that finds its safe place in those "yes sirs"
And I wanna think I've left that in the past
But days go by and I'm still hauling up that hill with all my bags
Someday you'll find these words about me
Oh look the pulse here is dead and gone
Let's straighten out our brain and body
Let's suffer straight down the narrow line
What would it take to cover my face
Leave it to fate, take it straight through my aching body?
Sorry I fake it I was insane
I'll save the date cuz I had it made all along
Cuz I had it made all along
Cuz I had it made all along
Cuz I had it made all along

The way you sing a song, a note, for anyone
There's light inside the world that finds its home in spite of you
I feel like eating with my demons
My dreams feel like a seed to feed on
Pesky little secrets are the death of me
I swear it's over convoluted hubris
Nuisances incisions fixing far and gone conclusions
And it's scary, I've been this way a couple February's
The open ended nature of blank canvas
Overwhelmingly compiled to a brim a hill of glory or impatience
But insincerely beckon call a ghost of self to fake it
Listen closely, I'm simply done with calculated maintenance
This casting call for greatness held me hostage in its basement
For a season and I feel it still, I call it conscience calling
But deconstructing air inside your lungs can feel like falling
Down wells, and hell if I know keeping score was all I knew for years
And picking pockets of exuberance as an exercise in facing fear
Was detrimental until it wasn't
I'll sing a song for anyone
Find homes in where I don't belong
And home is only learning, growing, feeling so sincere
I'm wide awake, I'm fully grown, the moon takes it from here
Said "it is what it is, and it's not what it wasn't"
And it's not what I thought
Angels and devils resting inside the deck as I shuffle it
I could play all the cards I want
But I'll still be tussling
Heart like the bushes in the hurricane rippin' and rustlin'
Memories plugging up shit in abundance
This life wasn't ever meant to be signs and wonders
These skeletons in my closet weren't meant to be rummaged
Realizing that my heart was never meant to be tungsten
If life was on the clock, I guarantee I'd be punched out now
I'm a number on the board, I'm a face in the crowd
I'm a poster for my demons and the way that they joust me
I'm off the horse, I'm on the ground
I'm drunk on my porch, I'm thinking of some ways out
I'm peering off the ledge, it's a long way down
Am I brave enough to face it, every time the gray sounds?
A slave to my anxious, and the long way to pace that I'm bound to
Down
The way you sing a song, a note, for anyone
There's light inside the world that finds its home in spite of you
And home is only learning, growing, feeling so sincere
I'm wide awake, I'm fully grown, the moon takes it from here

In the Red

I'm being called to start again
It's in my blood I'm getting old I guess
But I can tend to fake my rest
It leaves my mindset in the red
I wish I'd make my mind my friend

The Task at Hand

Sit outside and sip my coffee taking in the fact that this is life
Separate the truth from all these feelings I still keep inside
Sometimes you shift and sever slowly at your suffering
When all the while you had the chance to come outside and learn to breathe
And I'm in love with everything that moves I feel connections
I'm so elated with my state don't make no misconceptions
Contort my limbs to form this temple to a work of art
Lazily mistaking craving happiness was blown apart
I'm up and over what I used to search to find my glory
These lightbulbs hang around my head
This holy matrimony starts with the bond between your state of mind and learning lessons
Taking in the massive weight and all the cards your dealt with
My mind was made before my soul was bound inside this flesh
Close your eyes, take your time, make your mind your friend
I wasn't scared until they told me that I should be
These bags beneath my eyes remind me of the old me
I wasn't paralyzed, was told by holy heroin's
Close your eyes, take your time, make your mind your friend
I wasn't scared until they told me that I should be
These bags beneath my eyes remind me of the old me
I wasn't paralyzed, was told by holy heroin's
Close your eyes, take your time, make your mind your friend
Make your mind your friend
Go around the world and find your way back home again
Dig for light inside you'll find your holy medicine

Still at the starting lap
Trying to keep my heart intact
Standing in the fog circles like I like the smoke
Yea verily, pacing circles in my sleep
It never felt like exercise, more like a pulsed drum
In the doldrums of a quest less than enchanted
Chanting scriptures, making movements curled in fetal crying
Your mind I found it lying fighting for its life
And time is never biding, signing freedoms lights for fights
So silly, you pesky whipper snappers took that w
I want nirvana, and this vessel's not enough
So come and sleep until we dream these building blocks will treat us well
And break this ceiling made of silence
Time will tell it different
And it's still life no matter how you flip it
Pontius Pilate's selling souls
Crucifixion ain't going fix what's broken in your senses
Since you've seen it so
I hope you make it to your heaven, safe and sound
If heaven is a place you want
I hope you get there
I don't have any misconceptions
I only swim through the fences
