THE SUN IS OUT

I learn everyday
To love, everywhere I go
I plant my two feet and find home
I remember
How it used to be, in December
when we could have freezed 
Now warm weather
Might just kill us all
So come on
Fuck me all night long
I want to hear you screaming 
from this Big Dong
Let that pleasure roar
Talk about tension
Building up
Release it
Don't give a fuck
Cuz we're moving
into reality obscene

On the spot
On the spot again
On the spot
On the spot again

Come around, with the sound, yes you know, how I like, to get down
What you thought that I was, you were wrong, guess again
Pretend like you know me but you don't
However, feel free to ask me anything
However, please allow me to ask you anything
However, it's now or never

The purpose of recording this track was to challenge myself to write, record, refine, mix, master, and put out a track in 24 hours. While this did not happen in that time frame, many of the tracks on here are first take, and I managed to record the vocals, mix, and master the track in one day, March 25th.

On The Spot

Chicago Slicker, made my name through the pain game
Every day is a struggle just to remain sane
Change myself and then the world, won't fake it
No more waiting on tomorrow, eternal sunrise

I don't have a choice
Gotta come out with my voice every time I have that choice
Hear a lot of banter, you know that love is the answer
Which we'll find inside, there is nowhere left to hide
Never addressed those issues, corporations try to use me like a tissue
Got more respect than that, found my purpose and I'm never going back
Heart attack American, so I became vegetarian
Live well and prosper, whatever you do don't take a bad offer or get misused
I've heard it all before, seven billion people just trying to score
Short term gains bring on the pain, play the long game and you'll be glad you came
For your kids, hear the sound, coming round
If you accept the truth as it is we might be able to stick around

Chicago Slicker, made my name through the pain game
Every day is a struggle just to remain sane
Change myself and then the world, won't fake it
No more waiting on tomorrow, eternal sunrise


Chicago slicker, getting sicker off the liquor while the 1% get richer
Working stiff? Need a lift? Round here, nothing comes as a gift
Trying to find the time to cut you in line and make myself an extra dime.
But hey! I already know where you need to go to collect 200 and pass go.
You see, I paid all my tolls and fed all the trolls when I went looking for that invisible gold.
Cuz haven't you heard? It's so absurd. I sold my soul so long ago.

I watched my dad die, saw the life leave his eyes, cops hit me with them fines, arrested and tested
But you can't put a dent in my ride, push the greedy to the side, up, up, and away towards the sky
I just want to be exponentially growing every single way, every single day.
Fuck around, go downtown, look around, look at all of the bullshit,

(bring down a piece of cloud nine)
Surrounding you in the aisle of Wal-Mart
(clean up the ocean and the skies)
you know you need a fresh start
(and then away we fly, otherwise stay stuck in the ground til we die)

Chicago Slicker, made my name through the pain game
Every day is a struggle just to remain sane
Change myself and then the world, won't fake it
No more waiting on tomorrow, eternal sunrise

Chicago Slicker

The way that you move, Girl
It makes me want to scream and shout
Red setting sun drowns
Us in basking love with a twist of hate

We all travel downtown, like flies to a light
But all these distractions don’t change nothing inside
Our atoms disperse, they transform into the night
With little control, we reproduce and collide
Like asteroids in pitch black skies
Where do we go now?
My emotions are running all over the place

Where we go now? Our conflicts build up and there’s no escape
The water will rush down, cleansing us all of those who wear false capes.
We went all out, showed our cards, now’s there’s a price to pay
Our fluid motion, floods through the gates and some will die in the fray
So take a deep breath now, and control those instincts that haunt you everyday
Technological cesspool, we’re ankle deep in our erroneous ways
So take a deep breath now, cuz I know you can find that peaceful state
Cuz voicing opinions
Ain’t so hard when you take control, hey!

Fluid Motion (feat. Connor Mannebach & Adam Mead)

Baby

Know that the love that you gave me saved me



But after all it’s time to redefine ourselves



So many lines, yet to cross



My walls



Finally broke down after all those rocks you tossed



And it’s your loss



Just know the way you held me, kept me wellbeing



And all of those things, we could not bring to each other



Won’t help us survive

So now, be free like the clouds



Know I gave you everything that I could



And I smile, wide as the nile



At the thought of you conquering fear



But fuck you.



For all the stupidity that you put me through



And I’m sorry too



Because the way we played it kept us sedated, 



Sitting around, just getting wasted



I hated that part of us so much



So now it’s time to


Pick up all the pieces and Break Though



To find our own truths.



You’re amazing, but the universe is changing



So don’t be afraid, see what you could be gaining



Of your own accord.



So now, don’t worry about the clout



Just know that you have what it takes to get past your mistakes



And I smiled as you walked on by



My love.










Go back to when you were a child, you were so wild



Keep that spirit growing, flowing, like the nile



You had me goin’ on for thousands of miles



I saw you down



Want you to be found



Universe in your eyes all the time



Our seeds separated so we can grow



So now’s the time to let it shine



So now, be free like the clouds



Know I gave you everything I could, just like I should



And now we’re gonna see what could’ve been



If we never started out hating ourselves.
