Well today I felt like writing songs so, here is my first released original, I have a few more, but none that I feel are worthy of internet publication. I hope you guys like it. p.s. I don't mind if you make fun of my guitar solo, I know I'm not a pro.

Shot Down

find your piece of mind
go on with your life
crawling on your knees
new reality
be what you want to be
see what you want to see
shallow waters show your soil
yellow
show what you need to show
grow where you need to grow
shallow heart and fragile soul
yellow
wasted, here I lay
waiting for the day
patience comes and goes
yellowing with mold
cry if you need to cry
drying out will speed your dying
hesitation breaks your bones
yellow

ARTWORK BY ISAAC SCHULTZ-WATTERS

YELLOW

There's someone standing on the corner
boasting bout' their existential misery
recognition turns to boredom
is it fair to wear a crown of sympathy?
FOG
Jimmy says he wants his freedom
cryin' cause his master took it all away
in an act of fierce aggression
slaps the boy and fed him lies upon his plate
FOG
So when you question your existence
take a look and tell me what's inside your mind
travel to these different places
desperation takes a toll when you are blind
FOG

lies
misty smile away
let your feet sink in my sands today
why
throw my songs away
let your love be known for heavens sake
it's not you
it's not me
if I had to point it would be ?

It's Not Me (Rough Take)

innocent, they walk into the trees
hands are tied, their eyes take in the wild breeze
why am I free and they are not?
the creed is broke
their lives are lost
justice takes a toll when you are bought
the south is no playground
chew you up and spit you out
awaiting your sweet demise
see through your bloodshot eyes
lonesome cowboy Bo
makes his redemption
in and out they go
pointing fingertips
innocent, they listen to the bleached
hands are tied, they're stored up in the keep
reasons why our men are dead
laying there with mouths unfed
discrimination, the land beneath our feet
lonesome cowboy Bo
makes his redemption
the wild indigos
grow where the river flows
ART BY SYDNEY TOLPPI

Redemption

put your time in
words ain't rhymin'
loathing for a ghost 
bells ain't chimin'
cross your arms and
keep your chin up high
chocolate melting eyes
breaks my heart inside
ain't it enough to let me die?
ain't it enough to let me crawl inside?
eudaimonia 
that's our joyful side
pandamonium
all the feuds we hide
now we're starin'
question love again
anxious shakin'
body's achin'
ain't it enough to let me die?
ain't it enough to set it all aside?

Ain't It Enough?

Mister and Misses alone by the lake
Ones got a heart and the other one shakes
sunset upon them, a beautiful sight
who would have thought that the Misses could fight

Cunning and clever, one elegant bride
reaches her arms out time after time
bloated and wasted, the mister takes hold
of an olive branch to give to his misses, so bold

She used to call him soldier
now the leaves are left smoldered
they drop to the ground

A symbol of peaceful and harmonious life
breath by breath thinking, one of a kind
Mister grew sick of his sickness, he sighed
time to tell Misses, before she resides

Watching the water,the Misses seems lost
stuck in her head as she questions her thoughts
"what if I left him to follow my heart?
would my love lie bleeding or would it restart?"

She used to call him soldier
Now the leaves are left smoldered 
They fall to the ground
The critical timing
for a man to start trying
ticks off the clock

"Misses, I love you, I want you to know"
"Mister I'm sorry, you've not let me grow"
"Just take my branch in your delicate hands"
"There's nothing I'd want more, then to live my demands"

OLIVE BRANCH

the ceiling's on the floor
the lights are crawling
towards the one who said their vows
another slip gets handed out
the weight of all the world
gets thrown upon
an insect waiting for his meal
another sorry soul to steal
before the snake came slithering
I was your all and everything
now that's gone
burn all the stories you've been told
I've turned my head and now I know
there's no one else
a stranger at the door
all dressed in white
I've never seen an angel cry
I guess that's why I'm so surprised
so won't you call my name?
I'm lying here
spinning round your diamond ring
what am I foreshadowing?
before the ocean took the shore
I still believed that I was yours
gone
turn red and drop dead and drop friends
you put the poison in my head
no one else

There's No One Else

I feel the need again
Separation, peelin'
I let the waves come in
To dance right through her sandy skin
One time's enough for knowing
That the swimmer don't wanna swim

I've been afraid of this
Inclination, feelin'
I'll be her oxygen
Just so she can breathe me in
This tide is calculated
So the swimmer dives right in

I'm drownin' in
Her voice is that of holiness
I can't begin
To let these motions bring a shallow end

Now we're alone again
Dedication, darlin'
Your grin is creepin' in
It's just nothing, everything
My days will keep on glowin'
For the swimmer's elegant

This one is worth the risk
Dips her toes in weariness
Treads in her own disguise
Covers both her hazel eyes
Even when the swimmer's swimmin'
She don't like the deep end
