 If Only I Knew

LYRICS:

why’s it always raining it’s supposed to be july / I just checked the weather app I think it fucking lied / I guess I’ll grab a pack of PBR get super fucking high / think I’ll have a heart attack if I don’t go outside

You said to me / that I could be anything
But honestly / I don’t see it happening
I don’t Fuckin care if you wanna fuckin die you can go to fuckin hell then you can take a fuckin right 

so forget everything that you’ve ever been told /
Cuz nothing really matters if you never grow old
So shut up

What did you expect if you never tried to change /
Complaining bout your problems and it really hurts my brain / the way you look the way you dress and how you think that we’re the same / 
I think you’re boring think you’re stagnant think you stay in the same place

You’re tellin me that we could be anything /
But honestly I don’t see that happening

You tried really hard but it didn’t work out / but it doesn’t really matter if you think about it now

so forget everything that you’ve ever been told /
Cuz nothing fuckin matters if you never grow old
So shut up


Im a shit head / and i can’t complain
I can’t find words to explain / I’m wondering / when things will change
Cuz I don’t care / if we all stay the same 

Don’t be so scared that you’re gonna mess up
Cuz it doesn’t fuckin matter if you’re gonna die young
So fuck off

shit heads

Something In The Way - Nirvana Cover

(not my frog, not my swamp)

lyrics
You're a sad little man with a mean little face
You got a real quiet girl 
Cause she’s put in her place
If look at her now she’s got real sad eyes
Maybe cause she knows who you got on the side

The sum of your will is an ego fracture
Hide behind the smile you manufacture
you write the words to create the news
one by one they lick your shoes

You’re an unkind man The never mind man
Kick off your morals, unwind man
Tell me what you find man

you're from LA but here you stay
you're closing your eyes but you don't pray
it's all to ignore what you won't say

Obrien you cryan 
don't rule the world but you tryan
are they for sale cause you're buying
but you wrote the book on defying

you faker /shot taker
they think you're a mover a shaker
you follow the girl just to break her
/ a shadow that falls on the maker

Got a hand in the pocket you pay to play
you making the rules on who gets to stay
but you're standing right there at each meeting
with a pasted on smile so fleeting

you're always right there on location
like a vulture of new innovation
and they look at you with admiration
you don't think they belong in your nation

you take credit/like you said it
you're laying them down and they spread it
revolution is dead cause you led it

You're a small man/with a fall man
think you're above the law man
secretly making the call man

AIEIAIO/tell me what the robots know
tell me are you all this slow
tell me now who runs this show
AIEIAIO

you're a stain on a block chain
Bet you   like you explain, badly
They admire you madly 
For no reason, got a new face every season

Pied piper cheap cipher 
with a clear refrain to incite her
what do we say to the swiper?
pied piper you viper

but you like to watch them bleed
sit right back get off on greed
patent it all and charge for need
and you laugh at them now and eat the seed

AIEIAIO/Tell me what the robots know
Are you ready time to go
did you think it wouldn't show/ 


your a sad little man with a red little/right hand
you worked so hard know the lay of the land
and all of the world will turn green for you
don't look at the help when they clean for you

you floating up high on your bed of hot air
you failed the part where they taught to share
digging a hole for your next trap
strangle them all with your boot strap

California transplant 
You’re here cause you can’t
handle your original city
you bought a new house it's so pretty

document share it
buy it and wear it
because you think they all care it
gives you delusions of merit

you faker /rule maker
they think you're a mover a shaker
weak little leech you're a taker

Obrien, you cryan 
don't rule the world but you tryan
are they for sale cause you buying
maybe we're sick of your lyan

NOTE: Wrote this song for funski's after attending one too many tech networking events. It's rough but I like it for the AIEIO line because it expresses my annoyance at AI in a creative context. 

Once upon a time some scientists recorded the call of an endling, the last bird of his species. They played the recording and the bird sang along, mistaking the song for the call of another.  It was a cruel trick to play on a bird, who must be long dead by now. 

It summarizes my thoughts on AI art. It adds noise that drowns out the art of humanity. And if it's good it's still bad. Imagine a song, something that speaks to you. For one moment, you feel less alone, touched by the knowledge that somewhere, someone, must have felt the same. 

But it's a lie. A machine's Frankensteinian output, stitched from the work of others. Algorithmically regurgitated into existence. 

Now you're just like that poor bird, fooled by a song, more alone than before.

Obrien is the dude from 1984 and I just thought it was funny to rhyme Obrien with crying (pronounced weirdly). 1984's versificator was a great prediction.

Glaring screens

Lie beside me, take my hand
We will feel this planet spinning
Quickly sink into the sand
Where you cannot hear the ringing
Disconnected from this endless stream of hopes and worries
You and I, we could just run away

There’s so many things that escape us when we’re looking down
Glued to those glaring screens in our hands
We think we’ll clear our anxious minds
And walk away on any day
But we’re afraid to disobey
So we’re stuck with this habit
Going down the rabbit hole

What if there’s a simple way to get rid of all distractions
Let’s rewind and then press play
And take charge of all our actions
We’re addicted to this endless stream of information
You and I, we should just run away

There’s so many things that escape us when we’re looking down
Glued to those glaring screens in our hands
We think we’ll clear our anxious minds
And walk away on any day
But we’re afraid to disobey
So we’re stuck with this habit
Going down the rabbit hole

Trapped inside the world wide web
We all keep trying to escape
It’s never easy, but it’s not too late
It’s not too late!

There’s so many things that escape us when we’re looking down
Glued to those glaring screens in our hands
We think we’ll clear our anxious minds
And walk away on any day
But we’re afraid to disobey
So we’re stuck with this habit
Going down the rabbit hole

Kali Masi - "The Stray"

A dynamic soft and melancholy yet energetic and upbeat in your face track. Beautiful and dreamy clean guitars in the verses and bridge are well contrasted with the heavy distortion and punchy bass in the chorus. This song has a little bit for everyone with it's unique atmospheric tone. It captures the pure angst and uncertainty that is associated with young adult life and coming of age as described in the lyrical content revolving around deceit and manipulation.
