*My Arrival*

Oh me oh my, my heads in the sky-
of illusion. I'm a cosmic cocktail
My fingers are blue and my hair is pink
a mixture of stellar and antique

terquoise sunshine, slow-motion time
a flower in the midst of bloom
star-path to else where, full of pleasure
and the smell of vanilla beans

And when we rest, soft air on our hands
smooth sheets so thin and relaxing
every inch just calms
like chamomile lemon songs
and our minds, are like white flowing cotton.

smooth female skin, onto of him
a body so delicately designed
an emerald ring, can make her sing
to the tune of Atlantic Atlantis

Atlantic. Atlantis.

Atlantic. Atlantis. Yeah....

Turquoise Sunshine REMIX

There there now
You just fell on down
There’s an old cut bleeding
Where a new one’s found
If you dont go resting
You’ll kick up a curse
They say everything a bless’n
‘Less you make it worse

its a whirl wind, isn’t it, 
In the middle of a fight…
When your girlfriend ain’t friendly
and her bark feels like a bight
takes all that you can muster
To keep your lips sealed tight
When the words are blurry 
Hard to tell your wrongs from right

Take a step on back
Take a good deep breath
take a look at your lack
And dont forget to laugh
if you’re not in a hurry
Then you’ll be just fine
They say everything works out 
In the nick of time. 

There there now
You just fell on down
There’s an old cut bleeding
Where a new one’s found
If you don’t go resting
You’ll kick up a curse
They say everything a bless’n
‘Less you make it worse

And though there’s trouble
There’s a sense of hope
In the fleeting sea’s of feelings
There’s always the rope
The only way to find it
Is with a humble eye
Ask for forgiveness 
And let your ego die

Till I go to heaven
turn my own self around
The rules of the dirt
Are simple and sound
let go of what I can’t control
The rest won’t feel like work 
They say everything a bless’n 
Less you go and make it worse

There there now
You just fell on down
There’s an old cut bleeding
Where a new one’s found
If you don’t go resting
You’ll kick up a curse
They say everything a bless’n
‘Less you make it worse
They say everything a bless’n

The Queen Of Play

All things are in order, some would say is Devine.
It was here that we met. I remember in my mind
I said I had an idea "lets get out of this place,
there's just so many people, and I can not see your face."

There's just so many people
I'm zooming out to space
my life seems so simple, in retrospect to all that's graced
this beautiful planet, since the beginning of time
I had no idea, our lives would intertwine.
I had no idea, our lives would intertwine.
I had no idea, our lives would intertwine.

theses days are precious, and now I know.
as I imagine, myself when I am old, reflecting back on this time.
feels epic to be so finite, with an infinite mind.
feels epic, to be so finite with an infinite mind.

I did not realize, now I realize 
It seems in every moment, we're sayin' our goodbyes
I did not realize, now I realize
it seems in every moment, were saying our goodbyes

Theres just so many people, I'm zooming out to space
my life seems so simple in retrospect to all thats graced.
this beautiful planet, since the beginning of time. 
I had no idea our lives would intertwine.

I have an idea, let's get out of this place.
there's just so many people, and I can not see your face
theres just so many people and I can't see your face
theres just so many people, and I can't not see your face.

These days are precious and now I know.
As I imagine, myself when I am old, reflecting back on this time.
Feels epic to be so finite, feels epic to be so finite
with an infinite mind.
feels epic to be finite, with an infinite mind.

Finite with an infinite mind

Atheist is a way to say-I'm sick of all your lies.
The truth is-the answers are sparse. 
But there's enough questions to fill the sky.
He won't be a part of a celebration of
people fallow'n each other around
saying this book has the answers
though his answers never come-cuz there killing everyone

Dont you think that's silly
but not enough to laugh-
at all these amazing reasons to be a part of
this search and all there questions 
that they've answered with angels in the sky-

well there's seasons and there changin'
they rearrange themselves so we can too
intuition 'ot not be avoid
due to what somebody else tells you
though I can not prove this to you
no matter what, what I do
some things just can't be proven though they're true

He's sick of lies, and lyin'
I'm sick of tries and trying
what if I just lean back, live'n my life with nothin to prove.

When the worlds to heavy,
I just have to laugh at all these
fascinating reasons to-
be a part of this earth and all its wonders, as I ponder,
what happens when we die-

well there's seasons and they're changin'
they rearrange themselves so we can too
intuition 'ot not be avoid
due to what somebody else tells you
though I can not prove this to you
no matter what, what I do
some things just can't be proven though they're true

He is lookin for a light, In the dark of his night
though he stumbles, he keeps going with all his might
she is sick of everyone, digin' for a friend in the life
of a nomad, that nobody would recognize. 

He calls himself an atheist, 'cuz he is sick of lies
the truth is, the answer are sparse
but there's enough questions to fill the sky
the truth is, true answers are sparse
but there's enough questions to fill the sky......







He is looking for a light
In the dark of his night
though he stumbles
he keeps going...
with all his might.

She is sick of everything
Searching for a friend in the life...
of a nomad
that nobody 
could recognize.

The Golden Number

There once was a place, were safe was blue
and anything other was bad for you
There once was a place, where love was dreadful
(and anything other is just a handful)
and if you don't believe then leave rite now.
Girls curtsy and Boys Bow.

Momma says stay at home and say your prayers,
go to bed on time, sleep away your nightmares.
She says this because she knows...
the river holds only so much water
and then it overflows

keep the silence, words are just sound
keep the normal, no messing around
half through the glass, its almost empty now
drink up girl
Girls curtsy, boys bow. 
Girls curtsy boys bow.

In this place, things are odd.
to be safe from lighting, hold a lighting rod
in this place, things are cruel.
Dive in the shallow end, drown in the pool.
open up the car door. Drive to your death.
every days your last day, every breath your last breath.

keep the silence, words are just sound
keep the normal, no messing around
half way through the glass, its almost empty now.
drink up girl.
girls curtsy and boys bow.

dive in the shallow end, drown in the pool
open the car door, drive to your death
every day your last day, every breath your last breath

silence in the attic, sound in the booth
people desire power, what power is in you?
speak up old man, and say your soul
and give back every item that you ever stole

As for then, then for now.
girls curtsy and boys bow.
as for then...then for now.
girls curtsy and boys bow..
girls curtsy, and boys bow.

I'm always speaking monotone, mumbles on my word
of course I'm very valuable, but nobody ever heard
a part of me's relentless, its pointing at my faults
yell'n at me, and tell'n me everything it wants...

society's a mental institution I won't pay!
A playground for a rich old man, who ain't got the time of day
to stop and smell the roses (la la la la la) 

This results in utter violence deep inside of me
some people call it silent episodes of anxiety
but now, now I dont give a fuck (now now now I dont give A..)

No one see's this Skitso Sketch, YA perhaps I'm pretty chill
BUT insides a Cold War battle constant travel up the hill
sanity's a thing I question...is it me, or is it them?
like sadness in Seattle pushing raindrops of my skin.

Skitso Sketch

You're not coming home with me.
Not one more time I'll be Naive,
Not one more time Ill be so blind
to red flags flying rite past me.

good gal

Hey So, I don't know why 
sometimes we come, 
sometimes we ghost.
When your diggin' for gold
but its not what you find-
mistook a 3 for a 9, now
look what I've done
I've wasted your time
now they're way ahead, did ya' hear what they said?
they said "come on now, get back on your grind"
cuz there too far ahead
leaving dust behind.

What would I be?
If I have not been, where I've been.
If I had not seen a thing, I've seen.
I wouldn't be sittin' where, I'm singin'.

Woes me. I want to be free.
 Sitting high up on my peak-
stead of learning how to swim.

Hey so, what have you to show
of your time that just pasts
now the past is a cast of me
when I was still learning
and I'm still learnin'

Hey so, I don't know why sometimes we come
sometimes we ghost
I suppose we can let this one go
'cuz when they went, they did not know
It'd be a long time, down a long road
and their not back yet, and they have not wrote-

Ohhh, but they weren't able
no one is to blame
they just weren't capable

What would I be? If I had not been where I've been
If I had not seen a thing,
 I've seen I wouldn't be sitting where I'm singin'. 
woes me, I want to be free. 
sitt'n high up on my peak- 
stead of learning how to swim.

Hey yo, I dont know
why sometimes we come sometimes we ghost
I suppose we should let this one go
'cuz when they went they did not know

Hey so, what have you to show
of your time that just pasts 
now the past is a cast of me
when I was still learning-and I'm still learning.

Cast Of Me

Those pesky narcissist are so damn charming.

Nice-ish Narcissist

Woke up to mornin’
Mourn’n all by myself
Put my blinders on-done everything,
I could to block him out.

I don’t need nothin-
I’m a good ol’ fashion gal.
Gotta learn to rely on myself 
'Cuz I don’t need nobody else.

You do you, you do you and I’ll do me 
I don’t need a single thing, baby
‘Cuz I know I’ll make it through

You’re not coming home with me 
Not one more time I’ll be naïve 
Not one more time-I’ll be so blind 
to red flags, fly’n right by me.
Don’t go think’n I’m all I’ll ever be
Or there’s somethin’ wrong with me.
You may see my pretty patterns
But I’m wild as can be.

Feel the miss,Feel the loss
Gettin' good at goodbye
I’m making way- darlin' through these years of mine.
I'm Making way darlin through these years of mine

I’ve known sweet lovein’ 
you know that good ol’ fashion kind-
Where your best friends and everything
N’ lay in bed most of the time.
Didn’t get me nothin’
Lookin back on my life-
Just a honeymoon faze that led through a maze
And a wish that I were dying

Took time from me
Took time till I could see
Thought I knew everything—
oh how wrong I turned out to be

Keep your eyes on the prize, lady-
No body hold the key. 
Nobody’s going to come and save you 
Or make you happy

You’re not commin’  home with me 
Not one more time I’ll be naïve 
Not one more time- I’ll be -so blind 
to red flags, fly’n right by me.
Don’t go think’n I’m all I’ll ever be
Or there’s something wrong with me.
You may see my pretty patterns-
But I’m as wild as can be.

Feel the miss-Feel the loss
Gettin good at goodbye
I’m making way- darlin' through these years of mine.
I'm making way darlin through these years of mine

Grow up baby don't be such a kid
Given your heart away when your hearts not yours to give
Grow up lady don’t make it so big
Given more away then there ever was to give

Keep your eyes on the prize lady
Nobody holds the key
Nobody’s gunna come and save you or make you happy…

You’re not comin’ home with me 
Not one more time I’ll be naïve 
Not one more time- I’ll be -so blind 
to red flags, fly’n right by me.
Don’t go thinkin’ I’m all I’ll ever be
Or there’s something wrong with me
You may see my pretty patterns
But I’m as wild as can be.

Feel the miss-Feel the loss 
Gettin’ good at goodbye
I’m making way darlin’ through these years of mine
I’m making way darlin’ through these years of mine
Darlin’ through these years-

Years Of Mine

Melancholy Sound

ended up here again. a pattern is emerging
It starts out for the win, but ends up just not working. 

all I ask for when I am praying 
is for both eyes open. 
when I could not see my faults, I kept on fall'n.

It's a dangerous vice to have-to keep both eyes on the past
you'll loose sight of the path
well the gravels loose, I've lost a tooth-better not loose my whole grin
now I know

It's a long way down (x3)-back to the ground

It's a dangerous fault to have to keep both eyes on past
you never know what might be coming
when your feet dont touch the ground? how will you keep on running

can feel em judging you-honestly they've done it too
thats the trickiest bit of life. 
every choice we decide-must live within our minds

its a long way down (x3)-back to the ground

it was workin in my head- when I played it out
wasn't worth it in the end-when I weighed it out
before I took action, I was filled with doubt
how on earth will I have the strength to turn it around?
what goes up must come down

its a long way down (x3)-back to the ground 

all I ask for when I'm praying
is for both eyes open.
when I could not see my faults-
I kept on falling. ....mmmm

It’s A Long Way Down
