lyrics
=====
At a certain point, 
you only taste the chemical. 
I drive, 
wearing a denim jacket made of cotton. 
I can stick my tongue out 
eighty miles to taste the hours.
I used to buzz, 
sing honestly;
I used to buzz 
but I clipped my wings. 
I used to love, 
love cleanly; 
My new love
is tinted bittersweet. 
Valley ahead, 
My tongue tinged black just 
chilling in the wind. 
God gave the go ahead, 
so I let it stew on the way. 
I'm not anyone I'd like to emulate. 
Alone in my cave 
ripping at the itch of addiction;
You're not alone in this.
Voices in the distance throw themselves, 
only voices never listen
so i am alone in this.
Irony my companion, 
Tongue speaks for me
with great sarcasm. 
guitar's name is Tongue. 
she speaks for me 
she taught me the voice is an instrument.
I live with tears in human eyes 
they never know why he's crying. 
If I guess cuz I care to try, 
he is young but dying.

lyrics
====
i gotta chop it up with myself again 
gotta reconvene with common sense 
and get acquainted with grass, fool. 
Went through some self hatred 
went religious 
went through some self worship 
then atheist. 
I gotta chop up music again
but i'm terrible in production 
i want so much but i become 
a slave of ambition.
Is a cigarette as comforting? 
i don't mind the smell of 
yellow wallpaper and rotting meals.
Is it worth it?
thine life poetic and short-lived
the mortals get tired and sick 
but not you, prophet.
Yes, your body is sick 
but the mind lives in heaven;
every agony is ever present
every moment ecstasy; 
every second is ticking
every heaven temporary. 
You become a tool to an end
an insect, a human on nicotine 
with the buzzing wings, and 
they retch. It's all in your head, isn't it? 
All this extra shit 
Are you well met? 
underneath the layers
and sediment ; 
how much fossil is left? 
your mind unravels in its own sick ; 
what can i do? about the climate
this is crueler than i was taught 
naive thing
should've dealed before you bought, 
but i was born crying.

lyrics
====
I'm homeless in Hawaii, 
I can't afford to leave my island. 
I'm stuck in my mind, 
I'm abandoned. 
I'm walking around this colorful waste, 
beautiful fresh waste of life.
As all things die
I feel sunshine on my face, 
sunlight I feel without question 
will one day die too. 
And we're wandering, 
me and my thoughts. 
I find a coconut tree, 
pretty lady, 
we go surfing. 
Homeless in Hawaii, 
not such a bad thing. 
I'm homeless in Hawaii, 
I can't afford to leave, 
cuz if I left my lady 
then she'd never forgive me. 
She saw me sulking and made me feel silly. 
Put my head in her arms and said 
'you're a baby', then shook and cooed at me. 
Damn it if I can't be happy, 
it's not hard to be homeless in Hawaii; 
it's easy to get to the island, 
only difficult to leave.

Based on the poem "What I guess you must be thinking" by Dave Vronay

lyrics
====
I can still feel you, you know
I can feel you, and I crave you desperately
I feel your lips pressed softly against my own
The dull, wide taste of your tongue between my teeth
The feel of a razor’s edge, running up my thigh
The stuttering stroke as it bites my skin
The burning of your hand on the new wound
It opens for you
It oozes in anticipation
Sending foreign sensations up my spine
Like the stimulation of a new sex organ
I touch it now, thinking of you
It is mostly healed
Just slightly raised
And no longer sensitive to the touch
I need to see you again, soon
My scars are almost gone

Words and music by Dave Vronay

lyrics
=====
Verse 1
Back from the road
Tired and broke
Gave up on love
Someone just gets hurt
And everything I cared about
Was gone

My personal life 
was a battle zone
Prisoners were taken
bombs were thrown
And I pretty much surrendered
To being alone

But then I saw here there
Rocking camo green
Sitting at the bar
Drinking whiskey neat
She’s the sexiest thing I think
I’ll ever see

Soldier girl, deploy yourself to me

Chorus (1x)

Well, she’s a peace keeper and I need peace
A relief worker and I need relief
A prison guard and I beg release
Soldier girl - will you deploy yourself to me?


Verse 2
So I drank down my beer 
And I took my chance
Approached from her flank
And I asked her to dance
And when she nodded at me
I felt my face beam

She’s got long black hair
And those gorgeous eyes
And her moves when she dances
Well they make me sigh
She’s the type of woman in 
Every man’s dreams

But when she’s on a mission
She’s as tough as the guys
Whether kicking down doors
Or in fire fights
At point in the smoke like
A goddamn battle queen
Solider girl - deploy yourself to me

Chorus (1x)

Well, your’re a peace keeper and I need peace
You’re a relief worker and I need relief
A prison guard and I beg my release
Soldier girl - please deploy yourself to me?

Verse 3
Some friends tell me
It just seems wrong
That I hold down the home 
while she’s gone
But civilian guys
They can’t understand

Cause whether in a foreign land 
Or at the local base
She fighting for our freedom
And saving the day
I tell all those friends 
I’m proud to be her man

I thought I’d seen it all
But I was uninformed
Cause I’d never seen a girl
In uniform
And now she’s mine
And I feeling like a VIP
My soldier girl - 
deployed herself to me

Chorus (3x)
Well, she’s a peace keeper and I need peace
A relief worker and I need relief
A prison guard and I beg release
Soldier girl - Deploy yourself to me

Final

Solider girl - Deploy yourself to me

based on the poem "Waiting to Unwind", by Dave Vronay.

lyrics
=====
Attraction?  Bitter spoils
From a war long forgot
Passion?  Old and soiled
From a time I cared a lot
-
I’m a young man with young ideals
But life has dealt me out
I maneuvered with complexity
Killed sound that I could shout
-
My maze is deep and drowns to weep
To crush me what I find
But the first twine in has special spin
And I’m waiting to unwind
-
I’m a clever man with clever hands
That feint and sleight and plot
My razors fan at my command
And slice and dice and chop
-
And foolish me can fool myself
Go down the path to the river’s mouth
Climb the hill to the sacred height
Lose myself in status fright
Find a way in my labyrinth
To chose to say where my face has went
And trick so fast, I never suspect
My own cruel secret –
The unwind protect

Based on the poem "Multi-facet Lust" by Dave Vronay

lyrics
=====
If I could only touch you
So that it would feel for you
How it feels for me to touch you
Then I should

If I could only reach you
So that I could try to teach you
What your touch has taught me
That your destiny is not me
Doesn’t please me
But it ought to, for it must be
If you could trust me
Like I trust you
Which I don’t
But I will

And if your lips should kiss me
Maybe I could make you miss me
Like I miss you
Which I mustn't
But I do

And if your flesh should know me
And your colors should enfold me
Maybe I could thus inspired
Be a prisoner of desire
And do things that I must but shouldn’t do

And when the lies are over
And we both are so much older
Maybe we will be so bold
As to laugh and lie together once again

In this future that I long for ‘til my mind is most insane
All our sins they are forgiven but our longing still remains

Because after all the yearnings
The mind games, the enfoldings
The teaching reaching touching timid trust
After all the writings
The rhyming threaten frightening
Behind them lurks my multi-facet lust.

Based on the poem "Mother Night", by Dave Vronay.

Lyrics
=====
Mother night, Mother night 
reign over me 
protect me from the howling light 
of the bastard Moon 
as it floods across your fields
I love you, Mother night 
be my lover 
hide me in arms of comfort and forgiveness 
It is only in your dark embrace 
that my soul feels right

Mother night - I am crying 
look down on me in mercy 
with your black cloak enfold me 
shield me 
from the mirror's cruel gaze 
hide the footsteps that betray 
the oh so many times I went astray

Mother night, Mother night 
my pen is a vessel of tears 
wetting my page 
with signs of lost hope and misplaced care hide these words, Mother,
lest my fellow man should look upon my despair

When I enter you, Mother night,
it will not be with a cock, 
but with a knife 
no slice of dawn or crowing 
just a slow turning
turning away from the light 
promise me now
you will hide my body…

Based on the Poem "The Infinite Loop of my Desire", by Dave Vronay.

lyrics
=====
In you there is a darkness
And in darkness there is sin
And in sin there is obsession
Obsession – let me in

Obsession leads to madness
And madness leads to doubt
And doubt leads to depression
Depression – let me out

Depression is a sickness
And sickness is a curse
And curses follow karma
Karma – do your worst

The worst is just the waiting
The waiting unto death
But death leads to a rebirth of
the soul in happiness

And happiness is beauty
And beauty is what's true
But in truth there is a darkness
And in darkness there is you

lyrics
======
Dead cup walk when moving
Press clockless
and feel it out the gutter of your gullet
and talk less
and look under the tongue and the table
and tuck it.
and flick it until it stops its vibration.

Look at me,
razzmatazz smoothie,
I'm a crook with berry pudding
I'm fruity. xD

Brown hair
ephemeral flair in
case which I watch often.
My arms,
wrapped around problems
embellished by a couple of
push-ups.
My bod is
LA but not good enough
and I think of this often.

My God is not my problem,
but I'm not too busy to stop him.
Pour me coffee
log in
and i'm strolling through life
and i'm clocked in.

lyrics
=====
I'm federal
operating on multiple levels
I'm jaded
cynical and expecting betrayal
I'm gaming
wasting time on entertainment
I'm working
making money and earning paychecks
I'm wasted
my talent allocated to all the wrong places
Still wasted
2am I can't recognize faces
Complacent
operating like an episode of Shameless

Based on the poem "The Weakness of Men" by Dave Vronay.  I shortened the ending of this one.

lyrics
====
What I might song if I dared to sing
What I might wrong if writings a thing
What I might say if things were not said
What I might pay for you in a bed

What I might learn from a familiar sin
What I might burn for the taste of your skin
What I might steal for a deal made of lies
What I might kneel for the feel of your thighs

What I might kill for a casual word
What I might scream when I hear someone’s heard
What I might die for the weakness of men
What we might do when we’re together again
