Iwatodai Dorm Turns Up

Lyrics:

I heard your name last night,
the frigid winds were whispering
what they had read in neon
spray-paint covering my skin.

The howling gusts of air were
yelling in my ringing ears,
they were telling me to panic,
telling me to disappear.


I thought I could reach out to
feel you through the dark.
Across the void, I hear you
scream:

“I am alive.”


And I could not decide
whether or not to run and hide.
The winds were chasing me, and
chanting out your name at me

as if you were a ghost,
as if this was your funeral.
A chorus of the air, 
mourning and grieving for your soul.


I thought I could reach out to
feel you through the dark.
Across the void, I hear you
scream:

“I am alive.”


If only I could say to you
the things that I’ve been thinking through,
I’d ask for your forgiveness, and
I swear I’d make it up to you.

It’s not good intentions,
or miscomprehensions,
it’s only your actions that count.

I am alive.

At First You Were There

Lyrics:
I've got a magic box
in my hands
that connects me to the world
in ways that my great-grandfather
could never have imagined.
No, he could never know
what it's like to feel alone
when there's so many people just under your fingers.

I've got a magic box
in my hands
that distracts me from the world.
Who needs Mother Nature
when you're killing Father Time?
We're the bastard children of
Uncle Greed and corporate love,
and we carry that heritage with us wherever we go.

Let's cut our charging cords
and turn the TV off.
Let's tell the power company that we deserve a refund.
Let's pick our laptops up
and throw them out the windows.
Let's all talk for once instead of hiding behind a screen.

I've got a magic box
in my hands
that can tell me what I need to know,
if only I knew what to ask it.
My box knows everything
except the one thing that I need:
Tell me, please, how do I feel alive?

I've got a magic box
in my hands
that will never control me.
No, it will never control me.

Trash Can Letters

Magic Box

Lyrics:
Trash can letters,
addressed to you:
Filled with insincere apologies
and half-hearted analogies,
how rude, how rude.

Trash can letters,
it can't be true:
All these words now are worthless,
the future uncertain,
I'm certainly hurting,
are you? Are you?

Maybe someday
I'll think of better words to say,
I'll write them in a letter
that I won't throw away.
String together sentences that I'm
sure will make you stay.
Maybe someday.

Trash can letters
have all been torn
into confetti.
I know it sounds petty;
I'm sore, so sore.

Trash can letters
litter the floor.
Maybe they're better
as paper machete
or poor origami.
I'm torn, so torn.

Maybe someday
I'll think of better words to say,
I'll write them in a letter
that I won't throw away.
String together sentences that I'm
sure will make you stay.
Maybe someday.

No words can describe how much you're worth.
No metaphors can paint you picture-perfect.
No letters will ever change your heart.
I guess some letters are better left unsent.
I guess I'll just take out the trash.

NEW ALBUM OUT NOW: https://timmakesmusic.bandcamp.com

Lyrics:

Sixty grand and four years later
and I'm still unsure of my place
in this twisted shifting cosmos,
in the warmth of your embrace.

Have I proved my life has value?
Have I proved intrinsic worth
with this flimsy piece of paper
that's a blessing and a curse?

But as long as I'm with you,
I'll be alright.
Yeah, as long as you're still here,
I'll be alright.

All these songs add up to a giant
lump sum of fearful angst,
and the weight of my soul debt
has pulled the bliss out of my face.

Existential supernovas keep
imploding in my mind.
Seems the more I search for answers,
the more questions that I find.

But as long as I'm with you
I'll be alright.
Yeah, as long as you're still here,
I'll be alright.
Yeah, as long as you're alive,
I'll be alright.
As long as I'm with you.

Yeah, as long as you're still here,
I'll be alright.
Yeah, as long as you're still here,
I'll be alright.
Yeah, as long as you're still here,
I'll be alright.
Yeah, as long as you're still here.

...do doo do do doo, do doo do do doo
do doo do do doo, doo doo do doo do...
