Be the Outer

when at first Death came for me,
i ran a target up the highest leafy tree,
"aim for me."
having turned his work to sport,
death consulted rule of law...

i’ll become the man who never stays,
i will Be the Outer.
i’ll become the man who never stays,
i will Be the Outer.
moving like a streak
burning out in space,
i’ll become the man who never stays,
i will Be the Outer.

on a many colored sea,
like a captain, only lonely,
only ME,
breathing free;
i left death back in the woods
with the hoods and shoulds and coulds.
miss my mom outside,
when I’m dreaming like a fever
running high,
running high,
ever moving on from death,
with my name upon his breath.

i’ll become the man who never stays,
i will Be the Outer.
i’ll become the man who never stays,
i will Be the Outer.
moving like a streak
burning out in space,
i’ll become the man who never stays,
i will Be the Outer.

Cool Suffering
By Jordan Benik

do you suppose
you could never again
repeat the word champagne?
do you suppose
i could never drink ever again...
red mouth full parched,
my gums pulled up around
my teeth like skirts;
when i feelin at my cheekbones,
i tell you there ain’t anything worse.

ooo a bottle of your best please,
go ahead and 
pour it all over my chest please...
(then call me suffering and tell me we're cool
this is the suffering they warn you at school)
ice water ice water ice water...
then the dessert flavored mini shots
that i bought her...
(this is the suffering they warn you at school)
...then call me suffering, and tell me we’re cool...

*instrumental suffering*

i’ll plant roses on my roof,
roses on my roof
until the walls cave in,
crawl out of the wreckage
and maybe call my mother again.
life is one great sip,
whole face in the dip
until the car pulls up...
i would try to leave happy
but you’d probably just tell me to shupp.

ooo a bottle of your best please,
go ahead,
pour it all over my chest please...
(then call me suffering and tell me we're cool
this is the suffering they warn you at school)
ice water ice water ice water...
then the dessert flavored mini shots
that i bought her...
(this is the suffering they warn you at school)
...then call me suffering, and tell me we’re cool...

*instrumental suffering*

champagne is for lovers,
peace is for lovers outside of champagne;
hide under the covers,
i’ll come and find you again...

Too Rude Too Soon
by Jordan Benik

I could turn a corner,
but that depends on if I wanna:
cool water, a grin, and i swoon.
my ciggypoo tastes like bleach,
my dreams are out of reach...
i got too rude too soon.

if you wanna rule again,
don't you go and get burnt out,
do your learning:
no too rude too soon!

i guess that I could stop it
i could go ahead and drop it,
but my will's gotta be so strong...
moods flipping off like a switch,
taking cheap shots like a son of a bitch,
cuz I got too rude too soon.

if you wanna rule again,
don't you go and get burnt out,
do your learning:
no too rude too soon!

no invite to the big dance,
grass stains on my favorite pants,
on my knees:
too rude too soon.

if you wanna rule again,
don't you go and get burnt out,
do your learning:
no too rude too soon!

Fools With Eyes
by Jordan Benik

take a breather off of this joint,
it’s messy but it hits good.
curl up next to me...
you gotta butter me up.
do you have any needs?
tell me about your childhood.
don’t disappoint:
im all ears, and ears listen;
i’m listening to you...

vision hits me so hard
you and me are fools with eyes
we've been kicking all night
you and me are fools with eyes
we've been kicking all night
you and me are fools with eyes
vision hits me so hard 
you and me are fools with eyes

are you looking at me?
you’re treating me a little too good.
it’s like sex to me,
the way we’re sharp together.
do you have any needs?
throw 'em on the list hon.
don’t disappoint;
my XXXX is burning a hole in my wallet,
lately.

Jordan Benik - Fools With Eyes

Please Hold for Dark Chocolate

i'll be pinching myself until i laugh,

i think i finally put out my light;

everyone loves a good rant...

maybe i love a good fight.

no use washing my hands when they’re stained,

no use rinsing my clothes when they’re soaked:

won't you get your hands off me?

and think, I waited so long...

(wildcat strike)

...you think I waited too long?

too busy slipping the dirt off my sign,

i cum wiping the gas from my eyes;

everyone wants a fair shake...

maybe i want a fair fight.

no use washing my hands when they’re stained,

no use rinsing my clothes when they’re soaked:

won't you get your hands off me?

and think, i've waited so long...

(wildcat strike)

...you think I waited too long...

(wildcat strike)

...you think I waited too long?

Everything OK

May 1st 2017

ready to do almost anything i can
never really bothering to look at the plans
mad about who’s getting kicked off flight
mad by choice, never sleep at night
sometimes i gotta stop and wonder a bit
am i alright am i worse than a shit
do my best for Economy
fill my trunk w\ everything i see
check the news no it couldn’t be real
wouldn’t ever think of taking our wheels
when i'm finally dreaming at 4 am
hands reaching for my keys I realize they can

hand em over Jordy you can play with your phone
hand em over Jordy you can drink all alone
hand em over Jordy with a dog for a face
hand em over Jordy it’s the end of the race
hand em over Jordy gotta choose when to fight
hand em over Jordy it was never a right
handing over Jordy cuz I'm part of a team
handing over Jordy to a terrible dream

when i hit 110 there’s a peace of mind
when i hit 110 i don’t feel like dying
whole self yearns for the thrill of a hunt
trade free lab meat for a chance at a stunt
float my car past a fountain or two
good luck tapping with my fist on the roof
find myself staring at a busy street
wonder how bad the repercussions could be
red streaks soaring as my shoes hit the sky
hundred years later no one wondering why
up in heaven i’ll be getting down with my friends
homie hold my beer cuz the fun never ends
