Chrysalis

How could you do
and how could you teach me to
Fall into you,
when you didn't fall in too
You are a moth,
I’m a butterfly from caterpillar
Wings get us lost, find out
What you can't do to me
You'll be,
I'm not what I seem
And we are not at all
You are the best
You're the best I never had
This chrysalis is missing all the glad
How could u do what I taught you not to
Why are you there when I try not to care
Where do you feel when it gets really real??
And how are you not what I thought you'd become?
I'm dumb I'm dumb
You are not what I thought You became
And i am not the same
Broken bottles on clay models
I love you today maybe tomorrow
My metamorphic metaphor became
Clear

Sniff and Sneeze
03:37
|
|||

i love you and i need you
to understand the feeling
of another onion peeling
of young lust squealing out
its killing me I’m dealing
with a cut thats never healing
with gauze i’m always stealing
with all the blood thats leaking out
everything i did
just an uncertain kid
but i’m learning to get rid
of the stops and the skidding out
blowing out my tires
glowing smoke from a fire
my situation’s dire
i don’t wanna be a crier now
When I'm on my knees
I hope you sniff and sneeze
And love me then
When I do you wrong
That stupid song
That I'm playing again
When i feel the breeze above my knees
I never walk again
Never straight
Undetermined fate
Just bendin
Street life a clean knife
the beating of a mean wife
cheating always means strife
leading to a falling out
the basket overflowed again
four leaf clovers blow in wind
its never over if i begin
to explain what its all about
lucky with the Lucy
the beggar’s getting choosy
his stomach’s getting woozy
to empty to fill it now
a stranger leaves a dollar
getting pulled by the collar
of the guilt of a baller
on the stilts of a hollower crowd
When I'm on my knees
I hope you sniff and sneeze
And love me then
When I do you wrong
That stupid song
That I'm playing again
When i feel the breeze above my knees
I never walk again
Never straight
Undetermined fate
Just bendin
I knows that she loves me too much
he know that she touched me too much
she thinks that i need her, my crutch
i’m running, undefeated by such
When I'm on my knees
I hope you sniff and sneeze
And love me then
When I did you wrong
it was a stupid song
That I was playing again
When i felt the breeze above my knees
I never walked again
Never straight
Undetermined fate
Just bendin

Bum U 4 A Bit
02:54
|
|||
|
I'm sorry I'm a baby
all your friends probly hate me
I was born yesterday
from a mommy made of clay
Picking up my mouth
from its constant trip south
My teeth are falling out
Cause I chatter in the night time
I'm sorry I'm a leech
Cling to you like tides to a beach
I'll keep waving and teach
You to fall right off me
Whining too much,
but I'm not drinking a bunch ,
I'm thinking fucking too much,
I'm not fucking enough
But I am not afraid
That I'll scare you away
Even on the blackest gray days.
I am not sick
I'm just addicted
to the feeling of not trying to quit
I'll just bum you for a bit
I needed one more hit
But it hurt you.
Forgive me for my sins,
Pull up on my grins,
need you like an
alcoholic needs the spins
So go ahead and fuck me up
You're a buoy in my ocean,
Floating to the motion
Of the seagulls commotion,
And my shitty predicability.
You know how I act
When my expectations crack
I expected a crystal pack
And some dust fell through my eyes.
You're something from before
I was born and endured
The pain of the shore
Pulling me back and forth
I am not done yet
I fly from high to high
And I try to regret
Not giving you some space
You're the moon pulling me
Around this loop In which I race,
Letting you win first place
Surrendering my face,
Hit me with a mace.
Hit me with a mace.
Hit me in my face.

Hey bartender
I surrender
To the glances from your eyes so wide
So fill up this glass
where my loneliness resides
Oh bartender
Check your calendar
When are u free so u can come hear me play
Keep talking to me,
I don't care what you say
Because today, I thought tonight
i’d be singing to my skylight
but i came to the alley
and showed you what i write
I’ll scream with my guitar
so loud that it reaches the bar
that you tend, oh you mend,
my longing heart so scarred
Hey bartender
Your car fender
must be somewhere out in the lot
I'll go take a wild guess
and you can pour me another shot
Hey bartender
I'm not big spender
But if I was I would tip you to the moon
I'll just take another sip
cause it'll all be over soon
been to the moon
and i need some sun
i need something but not just anyone
I crave the feeling of the peeling of the fruit thats overdone
Will you try to hear my sounds
again?
to your ears all the way from my pen
you star bender, oh bartender, wont you be my friend?

Short-Term Pain
03:02
|
|||
|
stuck in a short term pain
a short term pain
when i was insane, my brain got me stuck in a
short term pain
a short term pain
what was her name
the one that made me feel
short term pain
stuck in a short term pain
a winding path
yellow bricks got stained
by my Kansan mother
and the Florida rain
The shining math my eyes screen strained
My lover and the others
all the ones i blamed
for my short term pain
for your short term pain
for her short term pain
for this short term pain
a switch got flicked
my mind engrained
with my moral compass
on a pole with a frame
Everyone got tricked
They thought my moon had waned
But I stayed fuller
than a clogged up drain
I just rearranged
all my short term pain
into a new domain
so i drained my gain
broke my chain
lit my butane
hopped on a train
against the grain
away from the pain
and my self disdain
so let us remain
lettuce romaine
let us remain
lettuce romaine
no more short term pain

Got Gold
02:42
|

Walkin through streets they're grey
And the green light tries to say, hey to the driver at the stop sign. He says listen to me, I've got blue sensors you see, and I sense better get to movin.
Brown and yellow, blurs of pink
I think I think I swear I think
Over the top and over the limits
Just give it some time,
And if I've got time to rhyme
I've got time to think, to dream, to sink
I got gold
And It got old
And blue is rushing through my veins
I got gold
And you got told that
You wouldn't feel gold again
Give me here and give me there,
Let me take and let me share
Time between this and that
I have it now but I lost it then
In my big head and My unshaved skin
My cheeks were red as a vat
Of all our blood
Of all our love
Mixed in with sugar and some fat
Jump right in, it's fine to swim
To try to find the lonely grin, I've only ever been alive for now
I got gold
And It got old
And blues are rushing through my veins
I got gold
and you got cold
and i wouldn't feel gold again

Walk With Me
03:23

Walk with me your cigarette
Shadows me your silhouette
is talking to me, nothing yet
Is anything, you're someone
That means something to me,
Nothingness, laying in a nodding bliss
All I need is a smoky kiss, from a smoking gun, your smoking lips

Blue sky
Sweet love of mine
You're here for now
You're near, but gone so quickly
I fear that you won't kick me
Off your back
So come here and relaaaaax
Walk with me, my silhouette
Won't let you light your cigarette
Your mind is free from your regret
I'll hold you tight and not expect
Anything for a few hours
It'll wash away with a few showers
You've built up this Jenga tower
I'll put the blocks back before you fall
And crash.
Before you take all my cash.
Blue sky
Sweet love of mine
You're here for now
You're near, but gone so quickly
I fear that you won't kick me
Off your back
So come here and relaaaaax

Orange Peel
01:30
|
|||
|
I saw you in the nighttime,
You saw me in your head.
I thought it was the right time
To let go of all my dread
Burning embers
Our eyes tinder, fire starts
Baby be a member
Of the cult that is my heart
You can stay at my place
Forget everything you've known
Blooming flower your grace
Comes from the sun that you've shown me
Blossom in the summer
This cycle has two wheels
Because nothing is dumber
Than a kiss without the feels
You're the real deal, my orange peel

Litter Box
03:18
|

A dog bites his bone
But never bites his owner
Donates time like he's a loner
But only collects when he's alone
The dog chases tails
Like a fairy did some rails
Mother Mary the hail
Just keeps coming down
The clouds formed in spring
All the rain that they would bring
All the pain it still stings
The names ring in my ears
It's time to go to sleep
In your cage where you will eat
Just wait for the beep
The jingle of the keys
I'm coming back
It's time to drain your sack
Letting go of that
And going back to sleep
I'm coming home
Where the wild ones will roam
This maze an open dome
I'm coming home
A cat sluts around
and its raining cars and clowns
i’m painting all the sounds
and she’s purring on the keys
the cat struts along
knocks over the bong
ignores when she is wrong
but at least she’s declawed
cause her scratches would cut deep
they would make me go to sleep
they would fuck me up for weeks
so i’m glad its just a day
I’m waiting to get paid
so I can get some new litter
you better stop me before i hit her
for shitting on my sheets
I’m done giving you treats
My pets don’t eat no meats
and neither do I
they sit there wide eyed
waiting for their owner
to be the organ donor
and start giving them the keys
to open up their cage
I’m done with all the rage
I’ll sit here with my sage
and burn it all day
until I burn through the spots
that bark in my mind
like a dog park behind
my litter box of lies!!!!!

I Know That You're Not
02:54
|
|||
|
All that I knew is just really a view in my mirror.
Shattered it mattered to see something new and so clear.
A focus on hocus and pocus I know that we're not
Any more in the same drawer as a pan and a stained steel pot
I hope that you're not the answer
and i don’t want you to be, thought i needed you to be
I know you're a cancer
And I want you removed,
to forget about you
My memento, I’m forgetting the tempo
and i’ve been playing all night
diving forward, falling back to a pool that is filled with sunlight
Talk to me don’t speak to me
walk away from me, a freak to be found
cover my eyes i can’t take all that lies in the ground
I know that you’re not the answer
I don’t want you to be, thought I needed you to be
I don’t think that you’re a cancer
but still want you removed,
to forget about you

Boy Playing Cards
02:53
|
|||
|
A boy playing cards in an empty bar
Dealing with himself
shuffling so far
Alone in his happiness,
sticking to the tar
In his lungs
A girl in the basement
of her mothers house
Not waiting to be free
But waiting to move out
Alone in the darkness
Waiting for her son to come out
Mama it's been so long
since I've seen you again
eyes from years ago
have seen me again
Mama it's never long
I've been you again
The screen of absurdity falls right down
I'm living again, in your sweet gowns
A man is a boy in an expensive suit
Taller than his daughter
But not taller his loot
He's leading his life, tied to the boot
Of his job
Everything's the same
in every special way,
And anything is everything you wanna say
And I'll just play along to the drum of your ear
Mama I've only sung my song
Since I've seen you again
I've tried to always try to see you again
The thought of the everlasting breathing within
The space in my stomach
Shining out
Through the sound of the the silence
All about!

Bleed Through My Teeth
02:42
|
|||
|
How can anything I've done be forgiven by what I've written, its too real to be words until they are and then you ask what's the deal, well I don't know, how I could go?
How could anything that you do, be the result of what I said had to be done, I jumped the gun, and got shot in the behind as I run, I pulled the trigger, pain got bigger.
now all I can do is sing about the realness of reality
I heard it's all a dream, but when we suffer, suffering is all that it seems, endless winter, mouth full of splinters
And I bleed from my teeth, as I hit notes I can't even see, I can't even breathe, my lungs are failing me.
I can't even sing about what I want to without it sounding like poetry
Just fucking know it's me, opened up and crying
