Tapping fingers haunt me
Clock hands tick away
Frustration all around me
Conscience begins to sway

Pulse is racing faster
Can't take another minute
Gotta find a way
To make a change or fight it

Go cry me a river
About how you are marred
Cause nobody shivers
And nothing is hard

Lines are getting longer
Messages delayed
Every second's torture
An endless masquerade

Hurry up and wait
You can't escape this fate
I'm waiting for a change
You're driving me insane

Go cry me a river
About how you are marred
Cause nobody shivers
And nothing is hard

Lines are getting longer
Messages delayed
Every second's torture
An endless masquerade

Hurry up and wait
You can't escape this fate
I'm waiting for a change
You're driving me insane

Go cry me a river
About how you are marred
Cause nobody shivers
And nothing is hard

0069 Hurry Up And Wait

~
My ritzy shoes on my feet
I be rocking a brand new beat
Feeling pride begin to show
Breath of wind, my cheeks aglow

See an old face down the street
They never saw the real me
Never knew the worth I held
Now I'm shining, you can tell

Watch me strut watch me sway
Living life my own way
Feel the rhythm in my hips
Let the world catch a glimpse

Mistakes of the past behind
My world you don't define
Heart is light soul is free
Look at me just watch and see

Used to be lost now I see
Here's to the real me
Strut my stuff down the road
Pride on me like a shiny coat

Watch me strut watch me sway
Living life my own way
Feel the rhythm in my hips
Let the world catch a glimpse
~

0002 Watch Me Strut

~
They say to be yourself and yet
Joyous vices they forget
Stay away they warn with ease,
Forgetting we do as we please

Leisure time rarely had
Balancing the good and bad
Tempted by treacherous ways
Enjoying walks on sunlit days

Feeling outside looking in
At people burning from within
Their hardened faces, weary eyes
Tell stories that are no surprise.

Cross my heart
Wont tear apart
This life that we
Share and complete

Everyone seeking their bliss
Each one can take no more of this
Running away to private rooms
Within which they imbibe, subsume

Normal they all seem to be
While tuning out reality
Lost in addiction to themselves
How can it be right that life is hell?

Cross my heart
Wont tear apart
This treasure we
Share and complete

All the joy we seek to find
Leaves a mark upon our mind
We keep weaving through the maze
Trying hard to find our way

0003 Lost In Vice

Falling ashes, fading burns,
Light fades and night returns
Cursed words hang in the air
Endarkened love, my heart despairs

Dancing shadows,
fading screams
Tomorrow's never
What we dream

Life's a game with
twists and turns
Peace with you
my heart yearns

Death is Nothing
Life is All
A crying, screaming
Flying ball

There's nothing better than 
to be remiss 
of nothing's gentle 
dying bliss

Injustice stings like icy cold 
Promises not kept but told
No amount of deep regret
Can make the one you love forget

Despair cuts deep like a knife 
But I'm clinging to my life
Through the night and stormy seas
I will rise and find my peace

Death is Nothing
Life is All
A crying, screaming
Flying ball

There's nothing better than 
to be remiss 
of nothing's gentle 
dying bliss

Injustice stings like icy cold 
Promises not kept but told
No amount of deep regret
Can make the one you love forget

Despair cuts deep like a knife 
But I'm clinging to my life
Through the night and stormy seas
I will rise and find my peace

Death is Nothing
Life is All
A crying, screaming
Flying ball

There's nothing better than 
to be remiss 
of nothing's gentle 
dying bliss

0001 To Be Remiss

~

No one really knows
Everything's a mystery
It all comes and goes
We live out our life's story

It don't take too much to show
That you're part of a community
Though people may come and go
Some grow to be family

To feed the fire of others
Takes away from your whole
So you have to want it
It has to feed your soul

We don't have to fear the curtain
We are all in this bind
Though everything's uncertain
It shouldn't be hard to be kind

If it is hard, keep searching
Not outside but in
No need to keep lurching
One thing ends, new begin

You are not alone
This I swear to you
We're just around the stone
We are here with you

Who are you?
Who do you choose to be?
You can change the truth
Make who you want to see

To feed the fire of others
Takes away from your whole
So you have to want it
It has to feed your soul

All too often
I'm all but blind
To things uncertain
and truths unkind

All too often
We are all blind
To truths uncertain
And our acts unkind

To feed the fire of others
Takes away from your whole
So you have to want it
It has to feed your soul

You are not alone
This I swear to you
We're just around the stone
We are here with you

~

0004 Around the Stone

~

Hoarding away
What is left
After they
Disguised the theft

Everything 
We once knew
Lost to pain and tears
There's Nothing
Left to argue
Let's not fight over fear
We're living

Burning away, we lay
We find no dark
When the earth's ablaze
Amazed
Our natural park

Fading away
The sun, it sets
Hunger at bay
Food attained
Acquired nests
Consume 'til we fade
Safe we will stay

Burning away, we lay
We find no dark
When the earth's ablaze
Amazed
Our natural park

Bottled rage rages in your dreams
Move with careful distinction
And you will not be lost in what seems
Like an endless dark

Burning away, we lay
We find no dark
When the earth's ablaze
Amazed
Our natural park

Burning away
We find no dark
When the earth's ablaze
Our natural park

Bottled rage rages in your dreams
Move with careful distinction
And you will not be lost in what seems
Like an endless dark

0050 Burning Away

~

Emerging into life
Deciding a path to take
Heartache and strife
Might cause me to break

Masters on every throne
Every field fully sown
I wondered where I'd fit
What niche would benefit?

Dreams start fading away
Living for a payday
The hustle and grind
Losing peace of mind

Had to sacrifice
Dreams and accept 
Brutal facts of life
Like it's all an attempt

Adults don't really know
We all make it up as we go
Don't listen without thought
Or words your brain will rot

Emerge from paralysis
To realize beyond a doubt
That graduation was behind me
That meant I held clout

I was there for a reason;
A vision in my heart.
The turning path is not me.
And I still wanted to start.

Masters on every throne
Every field fully sown
I wondered where I'd fit
What niche would benefit?

Adults don't really know
We all make it up as we go
Don't listen without thought
Or words your brain will rot

Emerge from paradise
Dreams ain't exact but a brutal price
Brutal facts all an attempt
Brutal facts a lot of debt

Choose something sacred
Never make it commodity
Do it for yourself
Not for their money

In a monetary cage
We are demanded to pay
So we work for the man
Career up to meet demands

Masters on every throne
Every field fully sown
I know where I belong
As I write my own song

0049 Graduation Paralysis (Midlife Mountain 2)

~

Sounds of music pound
Flailing arms and many feet
Tracing beats surround
Perched on the edge of my seat

Take my hand
Heart of Gold
Smile twice
And I'll be sold

Heartbeats in the night
Music in the air
Lights shining so bright
Feeling everywhere

Lost in the sound
Where we are found
Breathing in the beat
Hearts in sync we meet

Take my hand
Heart of Gold
Smile twice
And I'll be sold

Feet moving on the floor
Can't stop wanting more
Bass hits like a storm
Love takes its form

I feel the Heartbeat Anthem
Like the rhythm in my veins
This floor keeps me shaking
No longer thoughts on trains

Hands up to the sky
Stars in our eyes
Melody so sweet
Together we repeat

Lost in the sound
Where we are found
Breathing in the beat
Hearts in sync we meet

Heartbeats in the night
Music in the air
Lights shining so bright
Feeling everywhere

Lost in the sound
Where we are found
Breathing in the beat
Hearts in sync we meet

Take my hand
Heart of Gold
Smile twice
And I'll be sold

Feet moving on the floor
Can't stop wanting more
Bass hits like a storm
Love takes its form

I feel the Heartbeat Anthem
Like the rhythm in my veins
This floor keeps me shaking
No longer thoughts on trains

Hands up to the sky
Stars in our eyes
Melody so sweet
Together we repeat

0055 Heartbeat Anthem

~
I wish I was with you now
But everything's gotten so loud
Inside my head more than without
I think I'm fine, I feel quite proud.

Round and round and round I go
Heart's beat as it takes control
Stripped me down, exposed my soul
Strong and yet vulnerable

You can take me out
Out of all this stress
But you can't take the stress
Outta me no less

A working lad, lady, fellow fair
Shake it out, toss the hair
Believe in yourself and breathe
There is no way but to be

Surrounded by the others
Stressed dads and mothers
Clenching head in pain,
Don't let them your soul drain

You can take me out
Out of all this stress
But you can't take the stress
Outta me no less
I have to find my
Inner Resilience

Twists and turns we make
Taking me away
Memories forsake
We'll forge a better day
Losing sleep and touch
To lack but still have some
In a world so rough
We're grateful for a crumb

As darkness settles on the land
It's as if a giant hand
Pressed all the stress away
Suddenly on pillow I lay

Before my consciousness
Can question the expense
I've worked away the day
My life for life I pay

I have to find my
Inner Resilience
~

0051 My Life For Life

~
Burning away
The skylight fades
Comfy we stay
Helpless and in our caves

Stuck yet we are here
Confusing inner daze
Struggle to be clear
And break these chains away

Feeling so untrue
Confusing every day
In a world so askew
I'd rather fade away

Save me from this bind
Before I lose my mind
Want real food to eat
While we pollute the sea

Earth dust starts to bleed
Whisper of a plea
We’re in need
Of a way to be free

Caged by rules we set
Play the game regret
Helpless and upset
Burn away the threat

Feeling so untrue
Confusing every day
In a world so askew
I'd rather fade away
~

0085 Bang It Out

~

Believe in what's out of sight
You know it from the start
If they don't treat you right
Take care of your heart

Only so much you can give
Live your own life start to live
They can't see your vibrant glow
Time to let the doubt go

Hold your light don't let it bend
Inner flame a guiding friend
Let it shine let it fly
Bright as stars in the sky

Wasted on those who don't see
Your true self's a mystery
They expect but they don't know
How to let their own light show

Hold your light don't let it bend
Inner flame a guiding friend
Let it shine let it fly
Bright as stars in the sky

Hold your light don't let it bend
Inner flame a guiding friend
Let it shine let it fly
Bright as stars in the sky

Love yourself, break the chains!
Embrace the storm after the rain.
Inner vibrance, don't disguise.
Break the darkness like sunrise.
Journey on, find your way
Be the sunlight every day

0005 Out Of Sight

~

Crawling through the seams
Seeming to come undone
Feeling warm despite dreams
Falling far from being won

Crying out
Falling crown
Lost without
Slowing down

Where does it lead
Where do you go
When you succeed
But fail to grow

Believe the words heard
Carelessly absorb
Leaving undisturbed
Spouts beliefs unformed

Feel the breeze
Let go of fear
If you were to die
Would you want to hear
Screaming seize
Or a wish to sigh

It really doesn't matter,
the money, jobs, or friends
Because it's within your heart
That your chance for peace ends

Where does it lead
Where do you go
When you succeed
But fail to grow

The screaming seize of sorrow
Does not have to be where it ends
Loving now and tomorrow
Is how we treasure time with friends

Crawling through the seams
Seeming to come undone
Feeling worn despite dreams
Fleeting, far from being won

Crying out
Falling crown
Lost without
Slowing down

Where does it lead
Where do you go
When you succeed
But fail to grow

Where does it lead
Where do you go
When you succeed
But fail to grow

Where does it lead
Where do you go
When you succeed
But fail to grow

0042 Crawling Through The Seams

~
Miss a chance but stay in flow
Better safe, so take it slow
If you can wait it out to know
Rather than rush where fires blow

Plans fluctuate like evening skies
No one can predict these tides
It's a shame to waste or fail
It's crucial you know when to bail

There's really no press to rush
The impetus is on us
To make the call, set the stage
Show others the game at play

Getting home safe in mind and more
Better missed than lost on the way
Let each moment not be a chore
Take a breath, it will be okay

Work can wait just hold on tight,
You might miss a party, flight,
or evening you would sorely miss
Better than a death glimpse

Choose your lane
Feel the peace
Let go of strain
Feel at ease

Life can wear down any edge
Stress drives in you like a wedge
Please do not push so hard
It's okay to drop your guard

0163 Impetus Is On Us (In Mind and More 2)

~

I've a feeling about tonight
The moonlight on your face
I know, come and go, we'll be alright
We could be any place

Attend the nature sound
Collapse, enjoy the bounds
Moments intense surround
Trail blaze on safe grounds

If no one gives us a fuss
We'll be impetuous
Gone, without a care
We fleet on trails of air!

Jettisoning through the sky
Blazing flame tail trail on high
Relishing the special glow
With thou who I truly know

Precious time filled with wanderlust
Ambitious and gregarious
Skin crawling with thoughts of lust
Depths of the woods, seek we must

If no one gives us a fuss
We'll be impetuous
Gone, without a care
We fleet on trails of air!

Glimmers of hope fade into the night
Searching for stars in the city lights
Dreams in my mind
Trapped in routine
Wishing that life was more than a scene

It's twenty twenty four five six or eight
It's twenty twenty Root before it's too late
Our belongings our family our blocks in the ground.
This place will be our fate.
Minds must be sound.

I don't wanna stay
but got nowhere to go
Stuck here, lay and play
with a block on the go
Eyes are locked in
Lost in the pull
of an infinite
shine into lull

People passing by, sated in these shells
Losing dreams they're too scared to tell
Bound by the chains of nine to five
Waiting for a chance to feel alive

It would be so simple to think
Aloud in the silence, but no one dares.
Running around as time shrinks
Losing the chance to steer our fare.

It's twenty twenty four five six or eight
It's twenty twenty Root before it's too late
Our belongings our family our blocks in the ground.
This place will be our fate.

Countrymen and neighbors,
There will be some hate
It must be exonerated
If reasoned sense made.

Lost in the minds
Always in the hearts
Listen to truth
See through the sparks

Make the world better, whether you stride or crawl.
Don't forget the most important lesson of all.
Treat others not as they want to be treated,
But as they treat others, until the lesson is heeded.

0086 Twenty Twenty

There's no one judging you right now
You're here, lost in the sound
Feeling stresses slip away
Stay here and celebrate the day

There's nothing we can do
There's nothing needing to
There's nothing left to plan
We'll swing it when we can

We're strong and we can do
Anything that we need to
But that moment isn't here
We're dancing, in the clear!
We'll forget that we can frown
If we put tomorrow down

Shaking rhythm through the feet
You heart's pulse another beat
Waves of energy surround
Cresting Crashing Up and Down

Forest feathers fleeting flight
Flashing colors in the light
Mushrooms sprouting from below
Careful as you tread, you know!

We're strong and we can do
Anything that we need to
But that moment isn't here

No need to walk on eggshells
No need to tromp around
Just watch where you are going
And be pleasant in your sound

No need to walk on eggshells
No need to tromp around
Just watch where you are going
And be pleasant in your sound

No need to walk on eggshells
No need to tromp around
Just watch where you are going
And be pleasant in your sound

~Thought of love in my heart~
Bi/NB/Poly/Agnostic
There is beauty in all. I work with AI generated music and art. We create pop, rock, punk, folk, bops, ballads, shanties, bangers, etc. Through it elements of violin, Celtic vibes, jazz, and alternative, as well as influences from electric swing, edm, shoegaze, chill ambient instrumentals, and avoiding constant drum beats.

Generating music may be the new thing, but I feel no lack of authenticity in this. It may not be just my own, but nothing exists without learning from what came before.
