This is one of my favorite dreamy pop songs of all time, so I decided to cover it.

LYRICS
Take me down, to the underground
Won't you take me down, to the underground

Why oh why, there is no light
And if I can't sleep, will you hold my life

And I
And all I see is you

And take my hand, I lost where I began
In my heart I know all my faults
Will you help me understand

And I believe in you
You're the other half of me
Soothe and heal
When you sleep, when you dream, I'll be there if you need me,
whenever I hear you sing

There is a sun

It'll come, the sun, hear them call me down
I held you once, a love that once, and life had just begun
And you're all I see...
And trumpets blew, and angels flew on the other side (dear)

And you're all I see, and you're all I  need
There's a love that God puts in your heart

LYRICS
Fear is like the ocean, is my thinking too precocious?
I can't be sure cause I'm stuck in my mind
Dreaming of explosions then I wake up do devotions
Pray to nothing really, though surely I tried

Lacking invitations I'm alone with no emotions
I've learned to discard and set em aside
Leave them on the table let the demons suck the marrow
Nothing left but bones that have been sucked dry

You're better off in disguise
No emotions found in the eyes

Thinking of salvation, foremost goal of this good nation
It's hard to reach or even define
Patronize with flowers, shiny medals, toasty showers
Forget the thoughts that matter the most

LYRICS
I don't work for food or pay any rent 
How's that for a little secret? 
Respect, it don't matter to me 
As long as livin' remains free 

I'm a hardened shell with pantomime structures 
A grain of sand on the cosmic shore 
My heart's in a wreck cuz our stories will diverge 
I wanna see you and be renewed 

I stay in my room and think about life 
It's oh so fun to philosophize 
How long will this work for me? 
I can't forget that money ain't free 

I'm a hardened shell with pantomime structures 
A grain of sand on the cosmic shore 
My heart's in a wreck cuz our stories will diverge 
I wanna see you and be renewed 

Each day lingers on and the nights they move too fast 
Burdened by poisonous dreams left for dead 
My chest clings to habits I picked up in the dark 
My days are long and my pleasures are few!

I wrote this song for my mom for her birthday.

LYRICS
Wherever there's trouble, she's there 
Whenever there's hunger, she'll be there 
To make things better, she walks in love 
She keeps the darkness at bay, with her light 

She taught me how to live 
My most important teacher 
Mother strives to walk like he did 
How can I ever repay her? 

Committed to the task of a life of love 
It's what she strives for everyday 
Nothing less than a life of love 
And all her children say: "thank you" 

She taught me how to live 
My most important teacher 
Mother strives to walk like he did 
How can I ever repay her?

The majority of this song was written on May 9, 2015 and most of the music was recorded on July 4, 2015 (I recorded the fireworks sample to my phone that day). The vocals and some minor instrumental additions were recorded on October 23 and 24.

LYRICS
Sit on the side of the world 
Stuck on the side of the world 
Sick of the sight of the world 
Lost in the eyes of the world 

Sit on the side of the world 
Laugh at the games of the world 
Broke by the lies of the world 
Flowers surrounding the world 

Heartbreak, daydreams, sleepy smiles 
Modes of being in this suffering age 
His mortal shell screams inside 
Drowned by life's intolerable sounds 

Itchy temples, foggy sighs, thoughts collapse and hearts ignite 
Formulas to reach beyond, outside, or deep within 
Hope is wasted energy 
A shield from life's impulsive whims 

Throbbing, throbbing melodies 
Soaring around on a trapeze 

The audience expects to laugh 
And passively accepts the joke 
Their own lives belong in a circus 
Featured right after the elephants and right before the man with a big red nose 

I searched inside myself and I found nothing of worth 
Dummy, ghost, monkey meat 
Trapped by compulsions that wreak havoc on my well-being 
Foggy thoughts blow away before I can examine them 

External skies suck my heart of all its luster 

Sit on the side of the world

Track 1/12 from Paper Moses' upcoming album, "Standing Alone On The Edge Of Time." Full album to be released on 5/26/2017!

"Though I am inert, I ascend to the sky
Though I am inert, I climb on the sunshine
Though I am inert, I walk in the God's Domain
	 
I know that it's gonna be fine
I know that it's all in my mind 
Everywhere I look, it's all a mess
I look inside, could this all be a test?

Baby baby, that's the wrong intention
Hoping for at least one honorable mention
I feel the wisdom of the black dimension
Learning to love and live with no intention"
