Keep the darkness outside, keep your thoughts close and clear.
Pick up on these words and follow these fears
When you’re armed with your ideas, they’ll all disappear
Pick up on these words and follow these fears.
Welcome. This is just a simple website where I pour all of my thoughts, failures, loves, losses and experiences into words. I hope you enjoy, or even become inspired.
Thanks.
We risked our lives for this
I got the call, but it’s not what it seems
They say if you want to prove yourself to the world
Come along and show em what pride is
Bombs bursting into bodies red glare
In or out, there’s nothing but violence
I got the call but it’s not what it seems
So he runs headfirst because there’s battles to be won
He gives it all because there’s nothing left for him
Because they love you when its time for you to leave
And dont give a fuck about when you’re coming home
Sordid men making deals with young peoples souls
Sign away the life you made, to the brass go your spoils
We risked it all on a whim, it seems.
THIS IS THE END!
[Verse 1]
I’m so glad this is over, I feel the endings been overdue
And all that’s left is the briefing, where we bitch our thoughts to you
Air out every grievance, just tell them what you hate
No matter how bad it is, they won’t retaliate (Yeah, no way!)
Stand up shout!
Thrash about!
It doesn’t matter what we say
Cause things will never change, shit just stays the same
Your leaders just don’t give a fuck, so check the box, cause it all sucks
[Chorus]
I never had enough to eat
My socks are wet, my boots dont fit
No live rounds, it’s way too hot
So horseshoe up
This A.A.R is all for naught
[Bridge]
“Well personally, I think this was a good training for-“
SHUT THE FUCK UP!
[Verse 2]
You know the drill, and how it goes
Three UPS, Three DOWNS
It’s getting negative real quick, these suggestions never stick
Why ask the opinions, of the tired and jaded
Why even bother, when we’ve been ignored.
So, stand up shout!
It doesn’t matter what we say
Cause things will never change private
Your leaders just don’t give a fuck, so have a smoke, kick up some rocks
[Chorus]
I never had enough to eat
My socks are wet, my boots don’t fit
No live rounds, it’s way too hot
So horseshoe up
This AAR IS ALL FOR NAUGHT
I never wondered harder as I stared at the words
How poorly I recalled the placing of these verbs
I felt the tug of neurons forming thought
The first arguments to tumble from her mouth
I heard you’re coming home,
You said that you would stay
You’ve given me these promises that you’ve yet to convey
And I couldn’t remember
How hard you had to know
That I’d never said the words, “I’m never gonna go”
{Chorus}
Time thinks Memory is funny,
Takes it out to play and gets it muddy,
Grabs it hand and holds it soft,
Turns its face into the wind
And holds those words aloft
Memory can’t believe the words
Until it takes back the reigns
Fron brain to heart,
From heart to hands
And back to mouth again.
So years ago, I couldn’t remember, how hard it was to know
That I’d never said the words, “I’m never gonna go.”
December breaks the bold,
Leaves us cold, and I could leave again
While time separates lovers,
Til time stands still again
You dropped the subtle notions
Screamed at me these words
My body to the masses,
My heart amongst the rubble
I can’t believe you left me
My head to all my troubles
And I couldn’t acknowledge, how hard it was to know
That my promise was left broken, shattered in the snow.
Be Who Mr. Rogers Knows Is Inside You
[Intro] Mr. Rogers 1974 song “Sometimes People Are Good”
Sometimes people are good,
And they do just what they should.
But the very same people who are good sometimes,
Are the very same people who are bad sometimes…..
[Verse}
Drink again, on the outside porch
The bottles stack up,
Stack em high
(Stack Em High)
Why not give recyclin a try?
I know your best is yet to come
Half sober, half responsible
Half in, half out
(So close, So Close)
Good attempt, next time you’ll do better
Tossin em at a square blue goal
[Chorus]
Open eyes to the midday sun
Wont you,
Be my neighbor!
A failure once but your stories not done
Won’t you,
Be My Neighbor!
[Bridge]
Sometimes people
Do things that make it seem like
They’re never gonna get life
It’s hard
It’s unfair
They give up
Those same people
With a second chance to show it
Or just a little courage
Succeed
And realize
THAT THEY SUCK!
[Chorus]
Drunken eyes in the midday sun
You could
Never ever!
Reconcile with the damage done
You cant!
Be my neighbor!
They jumped the crevasse with relative ease
While we hit the edge,
Sharp ground to the knees
Shattered limbs strewn about
Mark the failures of others
Broken bodies build bridges
No time to recover
Make haste on cracked limbs
Blood offered to earth
As we rise from the fall
There’s no time to stay, no time at all
Hell is empty, all the demons are here
And when the alleys go dark, so starts our fear
Let go guiding lights, blow out your candle
There’s nowhere to hide in the dark unfathomable
Fade out of the moment, we’re up and running
There’s no survival for us,
Hell
Is
Coming (x2)
When the sky goes dark
Are you safe in your bed?
Hell
Is
Empty!
The demons have escaped your head
Are we those who left?
Is there noone else?
Surrounded by carnage,
No empathy felt
Scream, beg, flail, into nothingness
Pain radiates from our forms
Mutilate conciousness
Hope has abandoned us
When death comes in from above

“Keep At The Ending”
[Verse]
When this started we held it careful
I refused to believe this thing
You brought all of the signs of lasting
Longer than past northern flings
You remind me of better years now
When life was such smooth sailing
But I know which way this tide turns
The shore, it’s safe for me.
[Chorus]
Row, through a river of your tears to where you think I should be
I know it’s not the way you wanted me, the way you want to be
I felt the pull of attraction, I felt the reason strong.
It feels just like my past did, that’s why I’m moving on
[Verse]
I pulled back to watch you unravel
Spilling your heart on the floor
I never promised to gather your pieces
You always threw out more
This clutter,
This mess,
It’s way beyond my skill
Throwing all your knives at once won’t make a single kill.
[Chorus]
Row, through a river of your tears to where you think I should be
I know it’s not the way you wanted me, the way you want to be
I felt the pull of attraction, I felt the reason strong.
It feels just like my past did, that’s why I’m moving along.
[Bridge]
You never give in
Kept your boat just off the shore
Telling me jump, into the storm
You never give in
Outstretched arms, they do implore
That they reach out for your oar
But the waves have reached the shore
They’ll turn their backs to you once more.

“Jump; And Never Ascend”
[Verse 1]
She’s a perfect storm of smiles,
Of faces worth my while
But in the end she needs
Something that I can’t be
I’m holding onto moments
That always end in bed
I never wanted progress,
Didn’t care where this led
So follow me round, so follow me down…
[Chorus]
I felt the rush of hearts, as it became much more
I let the words walk in, I let them past this door.
My security is weakened, I’ve left my walls down low
I simply can’t provide, this love you’ll never know.
[Verse]
Smile brightly for me, tell me everything
Of how you know it’s ending, or just how we proceed
I feel the stop, these brakes are locked,
We’re skidding towards the wall
I’m taking blame for this one, I shouldn’t let you fall.
So, follow me round!
I’ve been down this road
So follow me down!
This trails gone cold.
[Chorus]
I felt the rush of hearts, as it became much more
I let the words walk in, I let them past this door.
My security is weakened, I’ve left my walls down low
I simply can’t provide, this love you’ll never know.
I felt the same damn feeling, a loving heart exposed.
But I could never, be the one who closed.
Just move along so easy, just treat it as your dream
I’ll fade away to nothing, a distant memory.

“From Asheville, To Sarasota: In Motion”
I’m falling faster than a comet
She knocked me out of orbit,
I was wandering around this system
Just waiting to be absorbed
I never had direction, just fuel and motivation
I never knew I was missing something so deep and interesting.
She said, “I like the way you roll through, pretending you’re unstoppable.
But I’ve seen the way you move, and you know that it’s improbable.
You’re gonna have to stop and enjoy the space around you.
So hover for a second baby, I’m the star that’s gonna shine on you.
I’ll illuminate your path, so you can find the destination
I’ll be the light for your life, so you’re never left guessing.
I’ll follow through and be with you until we’re cold and gasping
I’ll make the galaxies pass by so fast you’ll never know we’re dying.
Cause in the end, you’re the one I chose to flow into infinity
We know that there’s a finite end to the lives that we are leading.

“Feathers”
Disappear so slowly into everything I’m missing
Reminiscing of things that have passed me
And you know that I can’t let this go so easily.
Can you tell me you’re missing moments with ease?
If I spend a second on this could we appease the masses
Could we make this the classiest,
And take it past the feeling of dread
Creeping up when you’re alone in the bed.
This battle was lost the day I took off
No matter the cost, we looked better on paper
I’m looking to climb, disregarding the height
Propelled upward with featherweight flight
Never looking down, so the fall won’t surprise me
Enjoying descents, an untimely grounding
Oh, how did you fall, with spectacular landing
With your legs to the ground and your eyes to the sky
But the love that we found isn’t beaming tonight.
I feel the weight of tomorrow
The feeling that failures the sorrow
A reason to give in to all expectations
Separate lovers, and lives in a nation.
So look ahead to the brightness of being free
To the overwhelming ability to keep us afloat
To every heart, in every boat
To every lover, that lost one too
To the former loved, that left you
I’ve played each role to various degree
I’ve played with hearts, and you played me
So heavy, the ending, so much for the feather
So much for your love, this weightless endeavor.

“Where I’ve Roamed Pt I: Awkward”
She shot her eyes straight towards the ground, around the waves, across the bay
I thought I’d say another word, but she’d ignore it anyway.
I’ve got the time, cause I’m in line
For nothing interesting
My mind is fucking racing,
I’m losing interest quickly
She said, “I think you’re lying, it could never be this easy.”
[Chorus]
I’m not the one you’ve seen before
No need to second guess me
No reason to mislead you
No need for you to test me
Figured you out in glances
But all my time you’re wasting
So take my words just as they are
No motive means no guessing
Wear your heart right on your sleeve
[Verse]
This time it’s something different, buzzed as the sound rose to a roar
Three drinks and first date dancing, I never thought she’d slur the words.
Inhibition down, she’s grabbing on
To any hand that keeps her form from hitting ground
She’s spinning round, I’ve lost my balance
But never fell, she’s up and running
“I’ve got to think you’ll leave me, so why are we still moving?
I can’t refuse the moments, and you just seek to use me.
I’m fucking fragile, I can’t rule my world this loosely.”
[Bridge]
It’s not the way it’s always been
You’re thinking back to promises
No need to second guess me
No reason for you to test me
And in the end we found, that color was inbound
Of purple waves, and emerald gaze to bring me back to ground
I’ll have to end this game, cause I’m way too overmatched now
I have to mend my ways cause you’ve opened up the hatch now
Just can’t avert the gaze that brings down all my fences
Just over a month to stay, you think you can convince this?
