Reaching Out

I know it gets to be a long while
between the nights
when we’re feeling like we’re all there
feeling bright
we gotta dose to get to sleep
through the fright
of life in world that’s closing out all light
I know it gets to be a hard challenge
doing right
when you feel like you’re on your own
end of the line
you’re not alone
we share a time
and such a one
it blows my mind
we’re on the cusp
of a tremendous cosmic tension
growing love
growing up
If you wanna just cry some time remember I’m here to love ya
I’ve got a real lot in life I gotta hear what’s troubling all ya
I wanna remind you to smile from the heart cause I’m so proud of ya
we’re walking through deep shit all together we gotta smile for our shelter
gimme a big change
I’m reaching out to infinity

Son of Ours

If you wanna get on the bright side of your future
You gonna hang on to the best of your time
No one out there is gonna count it for you
You gotta know how much you put in too
There's a road to the lake that takes the dark side of the mountain
We'll head up that way so our packs stay cold
Can crack echoes across the lake
I'm feeling like crying
I'm laughing and starving
I sure feel like drinking
Son of ours
See why we made you wait?
I think a lot of our aging
Comes to pass
From hearts breaking no doubt
I want out of here

I am here succeeding by the only measure I know
for my heart and spirit’s feeding on the flesh of my own notes
I am charging toward being the best with what I own
One fantastic amplifier
and a head full of smoke
What does it feel like to love me now
I can’t understand how you talk me down
so sweet but then
What did you mean when you said it won’t be like that
Is there a different version?
Where I can still be the one you trust
where there’s at least a couple more adventures left for us
when I don’t wanna hate someone I used to trust
I thought there was a special thing with us
I get that December was a really rough month
But I’m still singing your song
soon it will have been a year
so how much should I give up belief in
if my angel leaves me in tears
I hope your van trip works out great
I hope you learn in a more inventive way
some kind of love in this world
I hope you find somewhere to stay
All of my personal ambitions are long shots
don't leave a lotta time for romantic shopping trips to pawn shops
all of my best intuitions tell me get off
some kinda devil in me saying press on, he says
sing louder
be different
act strong
don’t be a two-timer
get your fuckin’ head on
go get all that wisdom from the cosmic and repeat it
you’re not the only one who needs a repeater
hold your hand over your mouth and scream
no one can hear you but me
and I’m on my way
on my own way
he said why do they call it the blues,
well it’s deep and it’s cold and it’s the best of bad news
feelings go all kinds of directions
we gotta get a hold on all em
So I write one to ride on and right away ride away on it
Write one to ride on and ride on away
we need a tune we can ride on a voice we can raise to the sky like a prayer to the angels of the night
I’m ready for both worlds

Dream's Don't

Before we cross the end
I'm gonna look on backwards
Tie up all the letters I never sent
This train sure is a loser but it's quiet enough
To hear all your stories
About when you were fucked up
And I'll whisper shit just to make you laugh but once it's in the air there ain't no getting it back
Time, you're a mean old daddy but I like you
Spin me by my leading hand and take me swiftly to the other room
You could hold my hands
Down so I can't
Reject your smooch
Damn you're a nasty fucker but
I like you
I wanted to..
Call you by your given name
Raise you up to the spectacular plane
Where there is no question of
Were your hands below or above?
You shine on now just for all our love
Man, you're a dumb old sucker but I like you
Ooh yes I do
Time you're a mean old daddy but I like you
Enough to break my hands
I've drank deep of your fools romance but
The bottle's broke and I'm on fire
Gorging myself on ants
Cause dreams don't gimme a light no more
The fear is all I can hear in the dark
And I thank my lucky stars I'm deaf
From playin rock and roll loud enough to wake the dead
Gimme a break you sad fucker
I'm on the up
Told you I'd put my good foot on the run
And if you've got a trouble with the level of my cup you can tell it to the bottom when I empty this one up
I got a full pint of space I'm gonna break it on your head and ask you maybe if you've maybe got a clue yet
You gotta look out beyond the blue in your eyes and want some light
Cause dreams don't gimme a light no more
The fear is all I can hear in the dark
And I thank my lucky stars I'm deaf
From playin rock and roll loud enough to wake the dead
Gimme two tries more I swear I can get it
I can't stomach the swarm but I can sure evict it
There's a nightmare for each of us but only one dream
And I still think it's waiting on a unified scene
Time, you're a no good bastard but I like you

Friends
05:38

I made friends with the water
I was born among the clouds
to take a good look at where we are now
I am a subtle crook and I wanna get out
I now miss rainy days and the taste of your mouth
to read a good book and have no one to tell about it
you took a long look and thought you’re better off without me
would you set me on fire?
ride the wind to the ground
I made made friends with the water
I was born among the clouds
I want to jump in the water
I can’t put the fire out

Real Bad Man
06:24

I spend a lot of time on being bad
I waste a lot of time
I'm a real bad man
Follow your heart, release humanity
Live in the song, increase your sanity
Turn back toward becoming with gratitude.

Read me one more sunday morning headline
I keep the sabbath holy by bathing myself in bad news and red wine
I keep a hold on my blood lust by sucking on oranges
never took you for a hard sell
never tried to sell anyone
who said anything about blood?
I wanna remember what it’s like to fall in love
I wanna remember what it's like no fear dead run
The way you said some things you could change me just like that
you have a spirit looking over where I’m sat
you move a lot but you don’t take a lot of bags
honey you know best where the thrill is at
I do not indulge,
I sacrifice my regularness
I challenge no holds
I wait till it’s recognized
I’ll smoke like ten bowls before the sun gets straight upright
I don’t damn myself for being so beautiful
unicorn creature one of few to keep up witchya
I don’t mind being alone long’s I can catch up witchya
‘fore the end of the road when the witches gonna getchya
all of our favorite experiences take us out of our league
greatest kiss of my life stole by a demon
queen of fire your heart is a banner on my leaning
I will swallow so much gas you can ignite me when I’m bleeding
don’t forget about me I’m the man who loves what you believe in
time don’t bug me none nah I barely see him
I will hold off on bloody knees till intermission
but don’t be mad if I share some inner visions
I’m a song writer
Truth seeker
well-mannered boundary breacher
mad not stressed
