You make me really want to sin
You have become my religion
Cut my heart out hang it with a pin
Watch it drip and pulsate in rhythm   

Chorus
Your words are knives, cutting me deep once again
They make me want to drive myself off this cliff
I’ll keep coming back to your wicked, wickedness

Put a cigarette out on my skin
It smells, I barely it burning
Might need stitches, cut too deep again
I'll drive off this cliff while on Vicodin

And so I hunger
For your affection
I’m drowning every night
Under the stars I wish
And so I hunger
For your affection
I’m drowning every night
I’m such a mess

I remember when together
You were never really there
It feels so long ago, like forever
I’ll never get the time back
So unpredictable like the weather,
You’re a cold rain on a winter day
Just like a rainy day in November
You’re the darkest coldest winter day

BST - NIGHTMARE DRIVE

I see you in the corner
Sparkling like a diamond
Just laughing and smiling
You’re such a wildflower
Sipping whiskey sours
During happy hour
Sugar like cake icing
A glowing strike of lightning
I’m falling fast it’s frightening

Charming and magnetic
Vibrant and electric
Enchanting and expressive

Chorus
I really don’t know much about you
Come away with me to Cancun
Dance by the ocean under the moon
We’ll Have the loveliest time in June

Swimming in the moonlight
Waves crashing on the shoreline
Disarming me with your eyes
There’s music in the distance
Lights flicker like it’s Christmas
You shower me with kisses
Embracing in the water 
This is so romantic
Hope this moment never ever passes

Charming and magnetic
Vibrant and electric
Enchanting and expressive

So honey please come
Come along with me
let's dance and lets sing
Lets dance all evening

BST - MIDNIGHT BEACH RUN

Your voice, is a sweet melody, 
Your lips, a ruby red fantasy
Your words are sweet like candy
A true beauty,You’re a goddess my queen

You make me feel like a synesthete
Crossing my senses, yeah you confuse me
You make my knees shaky you make me weak
I gotta take a seat before my face meets concrete

I really feel like I connect with you
It feels like you truly get me too
Though I know nothing is meant to be
Maybe we're soul mates? I would like to believe

I just want you to stay
Oh Please say you will stay
I really wish you would stay oh
I just need you to stay

We can go, anywhere you delight
We can do, whatever lights up your eyes
Or do nothing at all, walk through leaves in the fall
Lay down under the sky, hold hands as clouds pass us by 

I truly believe we are soul mates too
And though I know it’s something I cannot prove 
I just want out of the odd upside-down
Why can’t we have it all, my heart cries out loud

In this world where we know nothing is fair
This is a truly tragic unfair affair
A love like this love makes me so hyper aware
Wish we met sooner, here, there, or anywhere

I just want you to stay
Oh please say you will stay
I really wish you would stay oh
I just need you to stay

I never thought I would fall so hard
I never thought it would happen to me
Never thought I could have it all
cause nothing is ever what it seems 

So please, oh please don’t go
Oh my love, please, please do not go
But if you have to, I will let go
I’ll understand and I too will let go
I guess I'll have to just let you go

BST - SYNESTHESIA

You lit a fire in my belly, turned my knees to jelly
I cannot seem to make this feeling go away
Made me a nervous wreck, the last time I checked
An ace in my deck, forever in your debt 
Pointed a laser like light into my life
Opening my eyes saying,”Look at the sunrise"
This is our pale blue dot, and it might be all we've got
Better make it matter, it's our only shot

Your kind, lovely eyes
Like stars in the night
Filled me with warmth and light
Your wisdom was my guide
There’s never enough time
To say our goodbyes 
A treasure in this life
I wish we had more time

CHORUS
Oh my love here we go, we’re not letting our fear take over control
We will let our love grow, and believe it is real, we’ll let it show, show how we feel
(my love, it can’t be broke, into your hands, I will let it grow)

If an earthquake, hurricane, tornado or tsunami
Pulls you from my loving arms violently
Know I loved you dearly with every atom 
And each single fiber, the very fabric of being
You elevated the quality of my life
You match the power and brightness of the sun
Like a Supernova I felt like I was starting over
My lover was my truth, my only one 

Chorus
Oh my love, here we go, we’re not letting our fear take over control
We will let our love grow, and believe it is real, we'll let it show, show how we feel
Yeah oh my love, it cannot be broke, so into your hands, I will let it grow

Last Chorus
Into the light, and then the void
The darkest night, in the end there's no light
No one escapes, we will be no more
No more journeys to roam, into the unknown

Yeah, if the sunshine doesn’t come out tomorrow, well at least we, we had today
If the world should, should end tomorrow, I say,“Fuck it, we had today.”

BST - SUPERNOVA

BST - KALEIDOSCOPE

You’re like summer's end
You’re like winter within

If I lost my color, you could paint me in

I wish I had a manual
On how to handle you

If I lost my color, you could paint me in

Chorus 1
One day without you is far too long

I wish I had a map
To travel your depths

If I lost my color, you could paint me in

No one gets under my skin 
But you’re buried deep within

If I lost my color, you could paint me in

Every time I touch you, you quiver
Every time you touch me, I shiver

Chorus 2
It’s been so long, it’s been so long since I saw you
Been way too long, been way too long, you know I miss you

Where’d we go wrong?
Where did we fail?
Where did we fail?

When I think I’m going to leave, It’s myself whom I deceive
I believe in you and me, I will keep coming back in Spring
I would get down on my knees, I would do so willingly
There’s no shame in begging, love like yours makes me crazy
Just tell me what your will is, I’ll fulfill it while you’re watching
A kaleidoscope of colors, your beauty is mesmerizing
When you wake up, will you be smiling, when you realize who loved you?
If I wake up, will I be smiling, when I realize what is true?

BST - KALEIDOSCOPE

I’m still here, I’m still struggling through my life
I trust nobody it’s my modus operandi
We’re just animals, full of piss and shit
We’d fuck the ones we love, just for a sucked dick
I’m sick of your shit I’m so sick of all of this
If it’s  your way or the highway fuck it I will split
Ain’t nobody ever worth your kind of stupid shit
it’s okay to quit, don’t force it if it doesn’t fit

I’m gunning I’m running, I’m gonna get the fuck away  
I’m gunning I’m running, I’m catching the first bullet train
I’m gunning I’m running I’m leaving this town I’ll escape 
I'm leaving in a jet plane

Let it go let it burn let it die 
Let it go let it burn even if they cry
Let it go let it go let it let it go

Chorus 1
When you fuck me 
You make me wanna scream
When you love me
You make me wanna sing
You’re a nightmare
A bad dream
Life is so ugly
Life is so sweet

Life is too short to put with your shit
No one is worth a mental prison
The need for the greed and green is sickness
The hunger for power, the manipulative

Back the fuck off and leave me alone
I’ll never go back to your twilight zone
There’s so much to see and so much to know
It seems to me life is better alone

Though sometimes it’s hard and sometimes it’s cold
I’m growing my wings as I'm flying solo
Roaming the world now I’m free on my own
No motherfucker is worth losing your soul

BST - BLACK CATS

Running down the road
They were taking off our clothes
Still high kind of stoned
On a tootsie roll

They were burning up, they were burning up yeah
They were burning up, they were burning up yeah 

Is it just in my head? Ooo oo oo oo
Did I make it to heaven? Hell no hell no
Am I really really dead? You're mostly dead
I think I need an ambulance. Weeoo weeoo

Chorus
We're rolling those papers real tight
I think I broke my brain this time
I'm pretty sure some shit ain't right
I should probably put down this pipe

Knock, knock, knock
There’s someone at the front door
No cop, cop, cops!





Are they looking to score our pot, pot, pot?
We’ve got a permit for more.
No shot, shot, shots!
Did you hear that darling?

Ate too much I can't feel my face
Holy shit! A log fell out of the fireplace.
Cannot turn off the stove
Knob fell off, it broke
The camera’s are watching wherever we go
The brats are on, they're gonna burn kobo
Hiding and seeking...Tree's looking for ghosts
Geoffrey says “You don’t want you to go.
Come back to Big Bear Lake before you're too old.”

Neighbor's cheer, as we load
Red Flyer like a bunch of dopes
All aboard, stupid grins afloat
Down the hill here we go

We were burning up we were burning up yeah
We were lighting up we were lighting up yeah

BST - TOOTSIE ROLL

Thought it was real must have not looked hard enough
I was just needing someone to love that’s why
I was a fool why didn’t I see it in your eyes
Well that’s the way it goes, he told me so

But I don’t want to lose you now 
Now that I love you, don’t want to lose you now

Thought it was real must have not looked hard enough
I was just needing someone to love I guess that’s why
I was a fool why didn’t I see it in your eyes
Well that’s the way it goes, he told me so

But I don’t want to lose you now 
Now that I love you, don’t want to lose you now
Well, I don’t want to lose you now
Now that I love you, don’t want to lose you now, well

It’s over (it’s over) It’s not over (it’s over) It’s not over
I don’t believe I won’t believe 
Why can’t you love me for what I am, who I am
When I needed someone, I thought that someone was you well

It’s over (it’s over) It’s over (it’s over) It’s over (it’s over)It’s over
I was such a fool, I was such a fool
It’s over I was such a fool I was such a fool
It’s over (it’s over)

BST - WISHBONE

BST - NECTARINE

The shiny lights, so bright, blinded your eyes
They’re a lie, fell from your sky
Held on so tight, lost your sight, 
Now your lifes passing by, with no one, with no one by your side

Pave a way every day 
Don’t say it can’t wait
‘Cause it just can’t wait
No one waits, you got to be there every day
People grow people change
Be there every day

So many lows so many highs
So much too know so little time
Memories of much better times
Shallow sighs, you ignored the signs

Kicked when you were up
Kicked when you were down
Your smile is gone
Can’t turn around your frown
Silence deafening in 5.1 surround sound
Hard to smile when there is no one around

Chorus
Somehow I know I won’t see you again
Please try find your way back, please come home to me my dear old friend
We all pick our poison, where do I begin, 
We try to drown it all, try to suppress it all, push it deep within,

Please Be careful while you are gone
I hope it isn’t very very long
Cause I miss you so very very much
It’s been too damn long and we’ve been through too much

I wrote this song for you while you’ve been away
I hope it finds you well and it fills you with strength
I hope it’s like a hug in my tired arms…and
it fills you with warmth, don’t forget how strong you are

You’re so special, so special to me
It breaks my heart, you are nowhere to be seen
Flew so close to the scorching yellow  sun
Accomplished so much, then it all became undone
No one is perfect you’re special to me
I know you do your best though others won’t agree
Hypocrites point dirty fingers needlessly
Fuck ‘em, shine on you crazy star you’re still sparkling

Somehow I know I won’t see you again
Please try find your way back, please come home my dear old friend
We all pick our poison, where do I begin, 
We try to drown it all, suppress shit deep within,

So pack a coat for winter
Don’t forget  your black umbrella
and should you ever need me
I’ll be right where you left

The bright lights are shiny
But now you’re far from home
The shiny lights can be blinding
You might find you’re all alone

So be careful on your journey
May luck find you one day
Remember you can call me
I’ll be waiting while you’re away

Pack my heart in your suitcase
Please take it with
You can always come home
You are already missed

BST - UMBRELLA

Spitting blood from the cuts in my cheeks
Nowhere to go there's nothing to eat
No change of clothes 
Nowhere to lay my head
No way to keep warm
There's nowhere to sleep

I close my eyes
To nightmares every night
They say there is a light 
It's nowhere in sight

Chorus
I don’t know what I’m looking for
I don’t know what I need
All I know is it’s not here and I am desperate for relief
I don’t know how I arrived here but I feel like I can’t leave
I’m a prisoner of memories
When the time comes I will break free

The weight of a noose 'round my neck
It's cool out, its fall, autumn fest
Air damp, petrichor and rain
Cloudy skies over-cast and gray

I close my eyes
To nightmares every night
They say there is a light 
It's nowhere in sight

So I can let the trauma win
Let it drown me or I can fight and swim
Get back up, I can make it to the end
I can triumph, beat the odds, I can mend
I can have it all
Overcome these walls
All my problems can be solved
Accept no defeat
Sail the open seas
End my life strong and mighty

BST - MIGHTY MOUSE

She can bring you up when you're feeling low 
Free you from the weight deep inside your bones
your mind is like a seed it can be grown
grow your philosophy view  and your tone

If you've read about it you know.
It's natural, it's benefits are known.
No chemicals. No pharmaceuticals.
No synthesis. No corporate mold.

No Monsanto, No GMO.
No control from a corporate throne.
We say, “no” to your poison. No!
We say,”no” to industrial smoke. 

She says she wants to be my friend
But I know, what she really wants.
She says she wants to make amends
But I know what she really wants.
She say wants the war to end
But I know what she really wants.
She wants to begin again
But I know what she really wants.

She wants my green.

Won't participate in your rat race.
Their laboratories used to manipulate.
It's a disgrace to the human race.
We will fight 'til we see better days.

She wants shiny pretty things.
She's wants control she wants our seeds.
She wants power shes wants money,
at any price to our world it seems.

No Monsanto, No GMO.
No control from a corporate throne
We say, “no” to your poison. No!
We say,”no” to industrial smoke.

Into the unknown

Long way down

Higher

Hear the waves

Break away

Daffodil street

Empire Seeds

Sometimes I just can’t seem to breathe
I don’t try to show it, don’t wanna wear my heart right on my sleeve
I’ve got a blinding headache in my brain
I've got adrenaline pumping, coursing through my veins 

It pushes me more, when they’re closing the doors
They’re selling us short
Like a boat without oars
We’re feeling the pain, we’re feeling the sores
Stop taking the shit cause’ there’s so much of it
Following dreams, in a viperous pit
It can be seen, it can be felt
The piss on the walls and the shit can be smelt
My stomach a pit, a pain that is real
But I'm still vocalizing’ what they steal and they sell

Stopped reeling, the feeling is killing and peeling away
Skinned me alive, the past behind, but I'm still losing time
I turned on a dime, not a pantomime, I'm lost in my mind, opened my eyes
Start getting, I'm betting I'm making a choice Stop frettin’ it's time
I’m living it up, emptied the cup
Now waking up and I'm fucking shit up

(Chorus)
Feel like I’m gonna heave
I wanna run I wanna run
I wanna leave
But I can’t, no I can’t
Got to build an empire for my family
When life brings me to my knees
And I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe
I turn my headphones up, and I run it off
Then I get back to it, write this shit and build up my family

So plan for the worst, hope for the best
Preparing each day like we’re taking a test
Fuck what they think, do what you want
Prepare for the end, it still fucking comes
Fuck the past, the present goes fast
Everything ends even memories can’t last
Just out reach, keep chasing our dreams
Keep sweating and bleeding these empire seeds

My pride and my joy, my baby girl and baby boy
Politicians, prophets and those up high they will sell you pretty lies 
Faith is a wolf in sheep's skin 
A method to control the believing
Be skeptical, logical and reason
As long as you're breathing, live it fully 
Plant your seeds in, ‘cause everyone is leaving
Leave Earth better than you've seen it
When you're wounded time will heal it
Not broken, reach deep in
That's fire you're feeling
Get the fuck up stand up screaming 

Get the fuck up
