Without speaking back and forth,
we held a small debate of sorts.
Without a word our fingers
simply lingered on our sides.
The TV wouldn't quiet down.
When either of us uttered sounds,
the conversation changed
among a range of different lies.

You know it never bothered me
to sit here with you comfortably
though I still guess your meaning
while you're leaning into me.
We've known each other way too long
to go and get the next part wrong.
I'll keep my timid tongue tied
right behind my grinding teeth.

Cause I can't say a word
I don't dare to be heard.
I make things harder than they have to be.
Words won't say what we mean.
Our minds are our worst enemies.
They make our mouths betray their loyalties.
Where they lie, if they lie, we won't know.

I left too soon to see sunrise,
but late enough to waste the night.
Outside I sadly soaked my shoes
from the dew on darkened lawns.
While seeing stars I wondered why
tomorrow wasn't like the sky.
It's too hard to determine.
All that's certain is dawn.

If words weren't so ambiguous
there'd be a path in front of us.
If only I'd been clearer
I'd be nearer than I am.
I hope someday we'll wander towards
the territories unexplored.
Until we have the time to act
it's Fact or Fiction where we stand.

But I can't wait it out.
I feel like I need it now.
It's torture running towards some foreign space.
Inhibition wastes our time.
The truth was screamed in gazing eyes.
If our thoughts are all exhasted from the race
Where they rest, where they rest, I don't know.

because all my modesty
outweighs my honesty
I've grown to hate my hesitating trends.
In the end I'll still fuck it up.
Getting lucky takes a little more than luck...
more like wishing we weren't conditioned to be friends.

Can we try?

Hestitating Trends

I will be the opposite
of everything I’m not
if it is all the same to you
I’m am both red and blue

I will contradict my thoughts
and twist words into knots    
just to obfuscate the truth
I do not not want to

This is not nothing
Doesn’t it feel less bad
than what we’re lacking?
it’s not unreal, but that
sure beats nothing
You don’t seem so sad.
You don’t have nothing
and you don’t seem so sad.

I will butcher language arts
if don’t miss your mark.
All exams we be regraded
when the diction is degraded

We are double negatives
We push and pull against and give
our words a different meaning
it’s purely self-defeating

This is not nothing
but is this what you want?
This is not nothing
but is this what you want?

Double negatives aren’t incorrect
they’re only better than a portion of the rest
But if you wanted to be average
there are words that aren’t so strong
Double negatives erase the emptiness
but is it better than the complicated mess
Would it kill you to be more direct?
Tell me if it’s what you want

This is not nothing
but is that what you want?
Because I would be the opposite of that
I would be the opposite of that
 
I would take the opposite
of everything we’ve got if it is
all the same to you.

Double Negatives

everyone is moving too fast
everything you say is making me laugh

I’m for sleeping in
I would rather know your skin
than a thursday sun
we are not yet done
Don’t set the alarm
My favorite call to arms
is when you’re holding on
We are what we want.

Someday you and I
will be traveling through time
at a slower speed than we’ve ever been
Everyone alive
will have to realize
This is all you need
This is all you need 

if No one understands it
I can’t stand it anymore
We are perfect the way that we are.

People keep on telling me
All people are the same
but they’ve never talked
with any one of us
for long enough
to know how wrong they were

Everyone is moving to fast
Everything you say is making me laugh

We are never lost
we are only goofing off
on a nowhere road
we are all alone
Cars go speeding past
we’re fogging up the glass
and we know what it means
because you can’t fake body heat

The colors in the sky     
are reflected in your eyes
and the sun is low
I want to take you home
How could we deny
while watching the sun rise
that this is all we need
this is all we need.

Time Travel Demo

Some body is gonna want to be where they should
but two bodies can't occupy the same space
the laws of physics will not abide.
No one's arguing with Newton or Einstein.
We aren't that smart and it's too hard to do and you can't.

Some body is gonna want me dead
(it's just a law of the world:
you can't please everyone.)
I just hope they don't get me.
I just hope that they get me
How come nobody gets me
Why won't they let me explain?

Some body is gonna want their turn
they're gonna burn the world down
if they can

Some body is gonna wanna be the king of the hill because you can't get your fill sitting at the bottom

It hurts to make it this far
It hurts to make it this far because you can't

Some body is gonna be where I am some day when this house is leveled

Some body is gonna be what I am after I get canned and sold down the river
but let me get all washed away
I will be tossed away
there will be all the people in the world to come on after me unless we can end the world
we can try and they will try and we will try, but we can't

some body is gonna be where I am some day when this house is leveled


Some Body

The sun's going down and our wonderful town
gets as quiet as the moon is high.
The kids lie in bed when the hillside is red
from the light of the dragon's fire.
We're only assured by the lone amateurs
who can fend off the leviathan.
they're worth every cent in our purse to prevent
what could end us reliably.

Our White Knights fight
everything they tell us is there.
They're selling a service that we need
(Help us please)
we don't try, we don't dare

Our bright night lights
quiet our irrational fears (quiet)
We're already all so bereaved (quiet)
At any cost, we don't care (quiet)

Each of us have seen, at least in all our dreams
what honestly we'd guess is fake.
He tells us the tales and he shows us the scales
of a monster that he's kept away.
You have to believe in the land of the greed
and the drones and the slaves.
There's a hero to save us from the fear of the grave
when the rest of them ran away.

Our White Knights fight Everything.
All we've got left is our belief
(but we don't believe)
We're not dumb, we're just scared.

They must be right, right?
The fire has to come from somewhere (FIRE)
it's gotta be the monster when he breathes
if not that, then from where?

White Knights

Sinfully I will be waiting
Almost innocently they will be saying
what it is to be
what it is to see
that there are differences in the way we are

It's interesting (don't you think?)
how it came to be.
but what's most interesting to me
is whether it lasts an eternity
I don't think it can

We've got no plans
just running out the time
we've got no plans
so we can do whatever we like

what will happen next?
what will be left?
what will be wrecked?
what will be, will be so interesting

Interesting

This song feature's an extensively lengthy "trumpet" lead line that took several hours to program properly.  One of my most satisfying projects.

The other day I found a bird on the ground in the park.  It was flapping one wing frantically; the other was clearly broken.  I looked at it for a moment and realized it was terrified of me, and was trying to fly away. Its tiny chest was pumping up and down at about 150 beats a minute. I had to leave it there. I'm still upset about this.

-Air Born
Aimlessly Falling
Blamelessly calling for mother.
"Are you there?"

Once soundlessly gliding.
Now only riding the earth
Not the air.

Broke into pieces
Nothing to do but scream
It's not fair.

No more reason to sing
Who could love such a broken thing?
Never learned to fly.
Never will.
Never try

Air Born (Demo)

Song about spending time with people.  Not enough.  I don't know anyone named lisa.  It's just a name that kinda sounds good.

-Lisa (Waste In Time)

Lisa, tell me how the hell we got here
because I recall the days but not the years.
Don't disappear.
Lisa tell me why was it never the way,
we made believe it would be yesterday. 

We're not waiting,
we're just waste in time.
Lisa, I need another minute with you.

Lisa, show me thirty thousand photographs.
and tell me what transpired in between the gaps.
If you can't you'll never get it back.
Lisa, if you listen to the clock tick,
you can hear the ending of an instant.

We're not waiting,
we're just waste in time.
Lisa, I need another minute with you.

Lisa, I need another taste of wine
while I stay tongue tied.
Can I trace the lines
from your place to mine?
The games you liked
were played too quietly.
We'll erase and try
at least eight more times.
If it takes all night,
we can make this right
It would be all wrong
if you left before too long.

Someday I'll be dead and buried.
but I don't mind as long as I've got
old ghosts and hip trends.
I won't have to pretend
as long as I can take my time with
laughter after awful jokes.
I'll smile through bittersweet hellos.
Every moment that I'm stuck
with memory is not enough for Lisa,
I need another...
