Journey Proud

Time is a silent killer
It's a crime when your life's just filler
'Til your day is what you ate and the screen you stared at
Wait and waste away like a bleeding bear trapped
I’m sick of all this stalling
Through my prime, so I’m overhauling
Hopping every little fence 'til I find my future
Needle pulling thread to the self I suture
I’ve been burning out
Coughing dirty clouds
Pressure churning, I’m turning around
I'm not gonna drown
In the underground
Ready to get loud
I am the Earth
Birthed from a star
Big banged and scarred, with no copy
Free as my will
With wilderness eyes
Nothing but time and my body
I've been dreaming of some big something
I can feel that the real thing's coming
I’ve been burning out
Coughing dirty clouds
Pressure churning, I’m turning around
I'm not gonna drown
In the underground
Ready, writing new songs to swallow
All the silences
All the violent whispers and woes
This is working now
And I'm journey proud
Finally found my sound
Here I go finding the fountain
Clear I know I’m climbing the mountain, and I am
Out of the park
Out of the pack
Out of the dark
Out of the blackness
Out of the box
Out of the bag
Out of the fog
Out of the vastness
Into the light
Into the glow
Into the fight
Into the open
Into the fray
Into the flow
Into the day
Into the moment
Watch me breaking the locks of impossible
Watch me wandering off of the road
Watch me conquering all of the obstacles
Watch me grow
I’ve been burning out
Coughing dirty clouds
Pressure churning, I’m turning around
I'm not gonna drown
In the underground
Rowdy, shouting my songs to swallow
All the silences
All the violent whispers and woes
This is working now
Cause I’m journey proud
Finally found my sound

Laughing With
03:22

I’m a punk
Little beach bum poet
Coming up with the nothingness
With a tongue
In a cheek, I’m joking
I'm writing songs and I’m talking shit
But you got a conscience
And you’re honest with my verbal vomit
So do you even want it?
Are you laughing at or laughing with?
My head is a spaceship with
No compass on an acid trip
And I’m wasting all my oxygen
On getting you to grin
But you got a conscience
And you’re honest with my verbal vomit
So do you even want it?
Are you laughing at or laughing with?
I am nothing but a child, you’ll see
Why are you spending so much time with me?
Do you see something more?
A demon you adore?
What was that face for?
And you, you’re no different
Dipping into cosmic sickness
It’s true, I’m a witness
And I’m laughing at you laughing with

Crossroading

I get mad at the magic makers
I get mad at the habits I have
I get mad at the vapid vapors
I get mad at the fact that I’m mad
No, I won’t...
Fuck apathy
Feel like everyone’s passing me
Had a path but now I’m stuck
Drowning in a cloud of dust
Low, like I have lost control
And I’m alone and old
Throw me back onto the throne
Where I can own my on-key ennui
Why?
Why not?
Fuck apathy
Feel like everyone’s after me
Had a path but now I’m stuck
Drowning in a cloud of dust
Wide awake when daylight bleeds
I won’t fall back asleep
Crash and burn or turn the key
The door’s my enemy
Fuck apathy
Feel like everyone’s mad at me
Had a path but now I’m stuck
Drowning in a cloud of not enough
But I still believe
There’s more on the horizon for me
Have a past, I’ll live with it
Now it’s time to give a shit
It seems I seem to dream too loudly
I sleep so sound that the sound is maddening
Cull all the cults that they call so happening
I would if I could
I would if I could

Homesick
04:01
|

I try to climb up my family tree
Its limbs are lost like an amputee
I'm getting sick of swallowing my pride
I drink it down but my mouth is dry
It won't show, no
Don't deny, grow
Seven souls in a quiet cage
Pretend the world’s gonna be okay
I drew a line so I can’t look back
I need the lying like a heart attack
Don't know where I stand
And the silence is resounding
It's harder to demand
Than give in to your surroundings
Don't know where I fit
But it doesn't even matter
It's harder to commit
Than to will the ice to shatter

Same Blood
04:23
|

I pace this place
Steps synced to the clock
It’s so small on the wall
But mocks me as I walk
And it’s wrong how long
They’ll store you on this floor
With no light in sight
Through the closed hospital door
All I want is for you to say
“Just wait, I’ll be okay,
Believe in better days"
What I need more of is time
Plan what I can't define
Just stay alive
But you die, so I cry
When I try to say your name
Bad bruise, tattooed
Now I’ll never be the same
I wanna hold this sorrow close
I wanna feel it breathing
Don't wanna get to know your ghost
Don't wanna keep on healing
“I know your pain, love
But we are of the same blood
You’re always made of what I once was”
All I want is for you to say
“Just wait, you’ll be okay,
I'm never far away"
What I need more of is faith
Something will fill this space
That I create
Trying
My best to break out from hiding
Improve at food and outsiding
And learn to be alone
Writing
At first just feels like I’m fighting
The blurry hurt that I'm mining
That will not be disowned
Flowing
The pages' gauge ever-growing
The sadness suddenly slowing
Inertia nearly gone
Knowing
My wounds won’t soon remain showing
My pen performing the sewing
I’m moving up and on
For the moment
I'm finally feeling focused
I'm over their condolence
The future fills my line of sight
So I'm coping
I've heard each word you've spoken
I'll dry the eyes you've opened
And carry you inside

Thought Bubbles

Saw it happen in your eyes
Reflection of the sunrise
I’m high and riding your light wave
I’m siding with your face
You’re shining too
Sky watercoloring and cloudy
Thought bubbles hovering around me
Heart muscle fluttering and sounding
Like a drummer that’s way too drunk to play
Take my brain, it’s broken now
I dive down the drain when you’re around
Even if I could maybe move my mouth
I doubt a sound could make it out
Is it my heart or my mind I’m losing?
Every thought is of you and consumes me
I look down and the ground starts moving
You are floating in slow motion over to me
This has gotta be a first time feeling
I don’t know if it’ll hurt or heal me
Is it real or am I just here dreaming
Of a face that'll fade when I’m awake?
Take my brain, it’s broken now
I dive down the drain when you’re around
Even if I could maybe move my mouth
I doubt a sound could make it out
Find your hand in mine
It’s not the drugs
Breathe in time
Believe in love
Memories they always fade
But nothing fucks with your face
You’re baked in place
Here in my hazy haven
And bracelets we braided
Take my brain, it’s broken now
I dive down the drain when you’re around
Even if I could maybe move my mouth
I doubt a sound could make it out
And we’re making out

Patient
03:52

I’ve been searching your eyes
Through the pupils and behind
‘Til I can read your mind
And the ripples of light
That flash and flicker from inside
Project the pain you hide
Just open your mouth to speak
Unfold your soul to me
All your fears and your beliefs
And tell me that I’m worthy
Please?
We'll go crawling through the vast
And empty hallways of your past
With a flashlight and a map
And if your body gets trapped
Or your agony attacks
I’ll strap you to my back
So rise up and try to trust
You can shake off all your rust
And when we’ve cleared the dust
Just know we’ll still have us
No one’s alone
You’ll know as you go
Home and hope
Both ebb and flow
So please
Just share this space with me
I swear it’s safe
Let’s see all those shadows roam free
Embrace all that you are
From breath to death to stars
And I’ll trace along your scars
‘Cause healing's a work of art
Hey patient!
Stay patient!

I said you wouldn't last long
I said you weren't right
I said you were an answer
I said you were a lie
Don't want this to ever subside
This feeling of being alive
Who?
Tell myself that it's not me
I know your chest is empty
I'm falling for the freezeout
Stalling till I speak out
Waltzing while I bleed out
Why do I still believe?
Who?
I wanna know I’m enough
When I’m out of your sight
I wanna feel like I’m loved
On the lonely nights
I’m gonna make you call out
I’m gonna make you call out my name
My name
I know I’ll wake up
Someday and shake off this dream
And all the makeup
The tears will wash it all clean
And when the time comes
I hope you find someone new
Someone who loves like you

Little Ripper

One night to take it
One night to know I tried
One night to break this chain
And make it out alive
This cage is quaking
I’m waking up inside
I wanna taste the fear
Tear up, and smile wide
I cannot cope with heavy hopelessness, this prison sickness
Make no mistake, I will escape and shake my shit existence
Waste away, decaying, deader by the day
Or try to run ‘til I become a bloody, brutal bird of prey
I got a map
I got a light
I got a plan and a place we can hide
Where the camera can’t see the fire ignite
Win, lose, or draw, we're choosing lawlessness with this resistance
We'll be the ones speaking in tongues and they’ll be bearing witness
They will pay, obeying every word we say
We'll coordinate to storm the gate and swarm like hornets towards the fray
Death is calling like the sound of a siren
I'm betting a life on a future I don't deserve
And I know that out there no man's an island
I'm a parasite afraid I'll lose my nerve
Can't go back
Can't go home
Live on a Wanted post
Cut to black
Or die real slow
Take this chance and don't let go

Prospect Park

I followed your footsteps off the road
And into the forest shadows
The city light faded behind the trees
I knew you were waiting for me
I heard drums
As my heartbeat pounded
Filled my lungs
With the air around and took off
Under the stars and through all the dark
Felt courage as I embarked
I don’t fear love
I’d spent every night, suspended in time
Searching through the earth for you
Then finally fate found me your face
And when I breathed, you flowed through me
I heard drums
As my heartbeat pounded
Filled my lungs
With the air around and stood
So tall in the dark, under all of the stars
Felt courage as fire sparked
I don’t fear love
No new words could follow
The only line I could find
Was the one that I’d always known
All I said was “I love you”
And all the moonlight above you
Formed a halo, and I knew
I’d found my truth
I heard drums
As my heartbeat pounded
Filled my lungs
With the air around and sat
So still in the glow, I was finally home
Felt courage as I let go
I don’t fear love
