I am a Tiger

Every single time
By now I’m halfway to Mexico
Though I’m feeling fine here
I’m fleeing fast as feet can flow

Sometimes in my dreams
My soul isn’t frozen so damn cold
But yet here I am still
My avoidance completely uncontrolled

Sometimes I’m a UFO 
Now watch me fly away

My whim blows with the breeze
My avoidance is still completely blind
And still I flee so fast away
And my dreams are completely undermined

Sometimes I’m a unicorn 
Now watch me run away

Now you know 
Now you know that you know that you never know
What’s gonna trigger my risk control
That’s when you talked about UFOs
And it you know triggered my risk control 
Why’d you have to talk about UFOs
Now I’m halfway to Mexico

Why’d you go   
Why’d you go talk about UFOs
Cause it triggered my risk control
And why did I go and let you go
So so stupid to let you go
My goddamn risk control
My avoidance is uncontrolled

Damn risk control
Goddamn risk control
That’s what made me let you go
Not cause you talked about UFOs
Not cause you talked about UFOs
Not cause you talked about UFOs

There’s a pile of laundry in the corner
And a nothingness in my brain this morning
The goddamn clothes won’t fold themselves
And this nothingness won’t ever leave me alone

In a crumbling yellow house I owned a dog 
We’d go walking and she’d clear my head
And those days manifest this monologue
Cause I don’t have that dog anymore

This is a song about a silly crisis
An existential corny catastrophe 
This is a song about this stupid crisis
Like summer’s grass have I gone to seed
I no longer trust all that arose in me
Since I have this crazy capacity
To always dream of sweet eternity

In that one story ranch I wrote the epilogue
I wrote each time that I was a laughingstock
And our history collapsed to singularity
And I wondered why I don’t have a dog anymore

This is a song about a silly crisis
An existential threat to everything 
This is a song about this fucking crisis
Like autumn’s wheat I think I’ve gone to seed
Should I never trust in anything
Or maybe there’s nothing to believe
Or maybe it’s time to finally 
Maybe it’s finally time 

To get a dog
Then she’ll come home
Please can she come home

The singularity was lost in the laundry

Sometimes sounds are drenched with dread 
A sound, a scream inside my head
Disguised as a sweet and silly song
About waking up where I belong

When will I see you my friend
When will I see you again
Where will I see you my friend
Where will I see you 

Maybe I’ll see you in a tumbling twirl
On a diamond mountain in a faraway world
On a distant planet in an ancient system
The stars twinkling aflight in your pale blue eyes

This raisin’s found inside my pills
A metaphor for something instilled
Inside your precious minds
About how you’ll be surprised

When I see you again
When I see you again
Where will I see you again

Maybe I’ll see you with that pink plastic girl
On an aqua hill in that faraway world
On a distant planet in that ancient system
The world shining bright in your big brown eyes

I know I’ll see you when our black holes converge
And our galaxies crash in a seismic swirl
On a distant planet in that ancient system
The stars shining bright in each of your eyes

Diamond Mountain

That time
Way back in 1994
When the universe split in half divorced 
Divided in an instant of infinity	

And my soul
Chose a course that seemed laid out clear
Down the dark path of depravity
But you chose a path that always ended always ended right

And that’s why I play the lottery
Cause I know you’ll always win it 
I know you’ll always win it
Win it somewhere

Alternate soul
In that other universe
Please take control
Of where I am today
And I don’t know how 
You do all that you do
And I want you in control someday

Another time
Late in 1999 
I was drawn in by her gravity 
I was made to choose
Made to choose made to choose a way

And you picked a path with clarity 
But it ruptured this reality 
And sent me to 
Sent me to a universe of my own

And that’s why I play the lottery
And I hope you’ll somehow win it
I hope you’ll somehow win it
Win it somewhere

Alternate soul
In that other universe
Please take control
Of where I am today
And I don’t know how 
You do all that you do
And I want you in control someday

Alternate soul
In that other universe
Please take me home
Cause I’m losing all control
And I don’t know how 
To get to where you are
And I’m so tired of being here alone

Alternate Soul (acoustic version)

As autumn clings to summer’s scraps
The hot wind wanes its a weak synapse 
Like we cling to time, perhaps
We can claw back what’s elapsed

The cold frost falls from the sun’s advance
As the ridge erodes from a glacier’s glance
Like we fend off change, perchance
We’ll go back to that Friday dance
Yes let’s go back to that Friday dance

And the gulls just laugh as we float on past
And the tide won’t answer the question we ask

Scarfing down half melted ice cream
While we bathe in the firework stream
A captured click has it all, maybe
We’ll hold it in our hands, between
Our hands we’ll hold the captured scene

While gulls still laugh as they eye us pass
And the tides won’t answer our questions asked

The tide won’t answer as it rushes on past
And the gulls keep laughing at the questions we ask
Will they answer our questions, perhaps
There aren’t answers to these questions

As winter clings to autumn’s scraps
The cold wind grows like a strong synapse 
And we cling to time, perhaps
We’ll still claw back what’s elapsed

Laughing Gulls

Enjoying salmonella casserole 
While washing down aripiprazole 
It’s now or never
Since they’re singing acapella 

I have a belly filled with lobster roll
But that sun umbrella won’t shade my soul
It’s now or never
There’s too much damn pressure

Voices sing acapella
From too much damn pressure
They’re too fucking clever 
It’s now or never 

Gagging marinara jelly roll
Til I can’t find what to sing no more 
It’s now or never 
Their words are so clever 

Resisting reasons to keep control
While sucking down omeprazole
Oh I can see forever 
This will end never ever 

Oh I can see forever 
And this will end never ever
No never ever
This is always forever
Back in my head again 
In my head again
Back in my head singing acapella 
Now and forever
Forever

It’s now or never 
I can see that these voices will sing forever

Acapella 
Forever
Forever

Acapella

I think I’m an ancient alien in this modern world
With a premeditated map already unfurled
With cast and script fallen from above
But a stupid plot that I lost in the fog
I’m a hollow costume fueled by ethanol
Cause I didn’t consent to be anything at all

Are we all ancient aliens in this modern world
Are we all captains of creation

I made an ancient alien in this modern world
Masked in our minds by that tumbling twirl
Thumb in your mouth while watching jeopardy
Cause you’re scared of the scene that’s laid at your feet
As an empty vessel filled with cortisol
You didn’t consent to be anything at all

Are we all ancient aliens in the modern world
Are we all captains of creation

Am I a captain of
Am I a captain of 
Are you a captain of 
Creation
No I’m a captive of 
And you’re a captive of 
I made a captive of 
Creation 

Judge me fates and favor our cause
Our future awaits my fatal flaws
As written already in those history books
An arrow to the eye dooms us all
Dooms us all

Yes we’re all ancient aliens in the modern world
And we’re all captives of creation

Yes you’re a captive of creation
Made in an act of annihilation
Where the only hope is 
A comfort cremation

Ancient Alien

Purging my powerlessness over the infinite emptiness by serving up indie rock to the masses. 

Crafted and produced at home during an epic existential crisis. These songs came from outer space whence they shall return in due time.

Apologies if I wrote a song about you. It wasn't my fault. Peace.
