State Funeral

and it’s only for a time we’ve fallen back again
and it’s only for a lifetime standing hand and hand

when i see you in the corner of my eye trying to sleep
when i’m holding what i have and what i need to keep

how do you know
i love you so

Lyrics:
Baby’s on the radio tonight 
And I’m by his side 
Catching waves 
Out in the blue
I see it in his crystal eyes
I get lost inside the maze
Through the interstellar 
He’s taking off on the rocket launch 
In a lush magnetic pool

Holding roses in my hands 
On the way 
I’m in the band
Pack yours bags 
and I’ll meet you there 
Throw my hands up in the sky 
Baby’s crying all the time 
Cause the high don’t get him like it did

Baby’s on the radio tonight 
And I’m by his side 
Take a trip down the eastern bound highway and the traffic’s fine 
He’s got a God 
It’s his alcohol 
And mine is his tainted love
We’re diving into the deep blue
And I’ll hold his hand so true

Holding roses in my hands 
On the way 
I’m in the band
Pack yours bags 
and I’ll meet you there 
Throw my hands up in the sky 
Baby’s crying all the time 
Cause the high don’t get him like it did

Rosa Mystica- Holding Roses

from the forthcoming album, "My Love Won't Quit"

Come Out w/ Me

same song different guitar (slightly different lyrics)

lyrics:

We were lying by the highway
Staring bleakly at the stars
You swore you heard the ocean
In the passing of the cars

There was nothing I could say
To make us more that what we seem
As I looked at you beside me
You were caught up in your dream

And you said to me, it all seems normal now
Said we'd get away from this somehow
I never would have guessed how far we'd fall
And with nothing left to lose, we lost it all

There a kettle in the corner
Full of water turned to rust
Your silver spoon is polished
While the guitar gathers dust

There's a fracture in the window 
That we covered up in tape
On the first night that we slept here
We were dreaming of escape

We had parties in the living room
Ran barefoot down the hall
And the night you said you loved me
Left a wine stain on the wall

We used to dream of better days when we were living them
I used to wonder, if I'd stay but now I know
You're out of lies, and I am tired of forgiving them

There is no second act that could redeem this show
There is no second act that could redeem this show
There is no second act that could redeem this show

You were gathering your breath
But there was nothing left to say
And you turned to me a moment
It was then I turned away

You say I never knew you
That I chose to let you go
I could wonder what's become of you
But I don't need to know

Now it's colder on this highway than before
In the echo of an ocean with no shore
Till I find myself forgetting you somehow
But I guess these days it all seems normal now

NOTE: I was at a gas station and some weird stuff happened but the clerk said "it all seems normal now." It inspired me. Also, I used to sit on a hillside by a highway and it really did sound like the ocean (if you haven't seen the ocean recently and are starting to forget).

Normal Now

[verse]
I'm running over, creases of a page
from a stranger's hands, and the marks that they made
so with my pen, I also mark mine
pass it along as I pass the time

[chorus]
And I think some mornings
of sunset drawings
that fade
and how
ice still melts in the shade

And I dream some evenings
that I slept
with longings
and yet
still no alarm clock set

[verse]
It's hard to connect, the points of a line
that exists lonely, on a page in my mind
But I'll still trace, and see what I find
pass it along as I pass the time

No Alarm Clock Set

they wish you could be a bit less rude
and you wish you weren't so blue,
they wish you'd find something good to do
and you wish you weren't so blue

in bed
all day 
watching the raindrops race,
they think you're insane,
they think you're insane

fuck smiling through the pain
and fuck the fucking world,
never leave the house again,
you will just be used, abused, betrayed

they wish you'd try lightening up your mood
and you wish you weren't so blue,
they wish you'd just come out of your room
and you wish you weren't so 

fuck smiling through the pain
and fuck the fucking world,
never leave the house again,
fuck the promises anybody ever made,
safe watching the rain,
safe watching the rain

fuck smiling through the pain,
fuck smiling through the pain,
fuck smiling through the pain

they wish you could be a bit less rude
and you wish you weren't so blue

Mad Blue

this was inspired by herbert marcuse, burnout, and 7th chords

lyrics:
one-dimensional man
you're gonna carry that weight
clock in, clock out
eight hours straight

a chance, a feelin'
makes you feel so small
a chance at healin'
to walk away from it all

one-dimensional man
how long will you wait?
get ahold of yourself now
come on before it's too late

a chance, a feelin'
makes you feel so small
a chance at healin'
to walk away from it all

one-dimensional man

a raw version of a track i released this quarantine
written and produced by me

ruled by devices
having a drink in a simulation
lured by the voices
of what's inside of your television
took out the boxes
they're getting rid of all the information
no circumstances
we're living in the age of alienation

in a mantle of disguise
slowly closing human eyes
in a loop that's full of lies
waiting for the big surprise

get a grip you're on the edge of it all
carry out the message across the world
they're knocking down every bridge and wall
sound of the truth has been left untold
oh time will tell one by one it'll fall
for the sake of fortune, for the life of gold
til nothing's left you won't know who to call
now the day has come let the story unfold

save me a nice seat
said the person with the invitations
blood on the concrete
he doesn't care about your situation

in a mantle of disguise
slowly closing human eyes
in a loop that's full of lies
waiting for the big surprise

get a grip you're on the edge of it all
carry out the message across the world
they're knocking down every bridge and wall
sound of the truth has been left untold
oh time will tell one by one it'll fall
for the sake of fortune, for the life of gold
til nothing's left you wont know who to call
now the day has come let the story unfold
