Letters 03:24
I don't know what to tell you, As I sit here in my room alone tonight. So try to find some value In the metaphors my mind decides to right. I've witnessed a murder, Not to say that I've come close to see it all Until I live forever, I will find out when I go. I'll run until that day Comes too soon I've heard them say Wait, to experience the never ending World, I, I'll tell you everything I know, why I have reasons to wander my brain. So trust me, I'm ready, I'm able to look inside my mind, And I'm starting to make my peace here. So I'll run until that day, Comes to soon I've heard them say I speak with letters, That form words in my head, that form lovers. I see with colors, That form worlds, that form birds, that form Myself and letters I solemnly swear it, It never gets better I'll sleep, but first I will bring back the dead, I'll eat, after I have fed all my new-found-friends Who get to live again, Who'll get another life until the end. I'll keep, watching myself stumble out words, As I greet the sleep, all of them, They're my new-found-friends, who get to live again, Who get another life until the end.

I don’t drink I don’t smoke I don’t need that sweet old- Coat won’t keep me warm I got my blood to pump that core Inside of everything And as I sing The words fall out My body’s breathing They speak of something That I’ve never heard And I start thinking I know this I know how this works, But it’s all in my head If you were to ask me I’d stand there dumbfounded Another day, another age Another time and place, The earth the same as how she was, A few more fucks but that's because, I think I'm one, I think I own I think above the land, behold The land has built my own from souls of centuries ago. So, come out god and show me what you have done- When I say god I mean earth, I mean everyone- Take back the ocean and show me where I have lived Or simply tell me how come. I don't spit and I don't chew, And I don't go with that fog, it's doomed And built to fall, When I can see truth lines the walls So I'll grab that drink And grab my smoke, Rebuild with my sweet love, And that good old coat They speak of something That I’ve never heard And I start thinking I know this I know how this works, But it’s all in my head If you were to ask me I’d stand there dumbfounded And I will knock, knock at that door And I will find out so much more They speak of love, love, love.

Recognition 03:31
I got places to go, Got people to see, And got nothing to do before I sleep, I got Days to wait, Got bills to pay, And no one around except my babe My life's alright- no My life's great, It's those days alone I can't take I look at my own, Look at my place, Look at my life, and I give thanks And I give my grace I got nothing to do, But got so much to see I wonder how long till I find peace, I got Days to wait, And got shit to say But I'm doing fine, just look at my babe, Mt life's alright- no My life's great Taken by love's duet we make, I look at my own, Look at her face, Look at my life, and I give thanks Be still, and be happy Know all is within thee Don't let me go, Cause through all, I am whole I'm ready to go, I'm beginning to see, I'm ready to be all that I can be, But I can wait, I got friends to make, And miles to go till the sky aches, This place is alright This place is not mine This place has shown me one hell of a good time, But I'll make amends, And as I've said, I'll look at my life, and I'll give my thanks again And I'll give my grace to them I'm so tried, I know I got to get up I desire some sludge from a two buck cup, Now I'm wired, and ready to get back home Work sucks, I'd rather be at home Or alone Or anywhere else I should be sharing the wealth of love Be still and be happy Know all is within thee Don't let me go Cause through all I am whole

Calling 03:12
And she stood, basket in hand staring at Woods as they stood, higher than planes above the Path where she skipped, along the trees, her red coat dancing in the Wind whistles cold, empty hollow, baring shelter from the Rain came falling down, That rain came right down She'll find her way back home Over fields she'll go And he stood, Such large eyes, such a big grin The bladed wood, Attached to a man came storming in with, A heart of gold, He cries victory, Red runs right home And everyday's the same So I try to find a way, To change my age, to match my face- It, she's now grown And we tell stories of her past The memories that last Are those that aren't shown And now she stands, Basket in hand, Staring at the woods, And down the path that she once ran down, And now she sings... Can you hear me calling (I can't hear what you're saying) I'm standing strong but, the walls are bending (Your mouth keeps talking) Can you hold you're own in a house imploding (I can't hear what you're saying) Can you hear me calling (My ears aren't listening) Not really sure what I'm thinking, Most of the time I'm sure that I'm thinking. But mind will, Overkill, Feed me well, And send me back home Tell me I'm gold Through me you'll show, Cause through me you'll glow

If I can figure out how to focus, I know, I'm sure I can own this But I don't know what I'm dealing with, And I don't even know what year it is Away we go, Look on the bright side, at least it never snows, But I can't say the same for home. Even though I know that home is in my bones. I can own this, Cause I know, I'm sure I can focus But I think to much about my friends, I guess I got to think about my interest and what's best, Cause I control this, And I know I'm unsure what my goal is, No I don't got a plan at all. I hope I get to where I'm going and that's all If that's selfish, Well I know that this life is priceless As I sing this, I hope that my body listens Cause I control this, So it's time I design it Now here's the melody, My gums are bleeding- Sick revenge, from the pen I've been chewing, As I bring you in to how I wrote this down, Don't look for meaning, cause I'm just looking around See, I got to focus But my mind, gets tied up in hardships, And other shit that seems to slow me down, I got to keep my head up, and off the ground I got problems, And apparently the whole wide world has also got 'em- But that's not my problem, I'm lost, Don't know where to begin, I got these words in my head, And got these strings on my fingertips, What's wrong- nothing, What's going on- in this life time that means something Seems to me like nothing Yeah, I'm golden And don't got shit to do until those caps aren't frozen And my home turns to ocean Until then, I'll just hang with my friends, I'll search my soul till I'm dead, And figure out how to bring and end To work days- fuck 'em. I get payed to count change and bullshit with humans. Seems to be useless.
