'C'MON'
I, ..I can hear the silence,
..the song that makes up my life, minus all the ringing in my ears.

..and I, I adore your shyness
You filter out all but the kindness,
..You still  blush when I touch your hair.

You know I’m so into you,
Here with me is where you belong.
Hang on tight to me sunshine,
Here we go, ...baby C’mon.

C’mon
 
When I’m with you,
..I feel the pull of trying,
..the fear that keeps you from deciding, 
..is it really about win or lose.

For you,
I drop the fight I’m fighting,
Break out the flowers and the  lighting,
..It’s not what I’m geared to do.

You know I’m so into you,
You calm the world that takes me on.
Hang on tight to me sunshine,
Here we go, ...baby C’mon.

BURN IT DOWN (The Poet of Impulse)

He's sick of trying, oh yeah.
He's tired of walking through the shit with no boots.
Might pick the psilocybin instead, 
Instead of walking, ..he could be flying.

He gets close to heaven, 
when he can burn it down.
..And dance in the ashes falling to the ground.
Burn it down.
Its his callout to Poets and assholes unrenowned.

He's felt that slap to the face, ..oh yeah.
The fuse gets lit and he can't pull it back.
He spit out words that he should not have said,
..he stepped in it again.

Should he be sorry?

He gets close to heaven, 
when he can burn it down.
..And dance in the ashes falling to the ground.
Burn it down.
He's on a mission, ..he's the Poet of Impulse, ...
He's gonna burn the whole world down.

He's sick and tired of trying, yeah.
He's tired of picking fights that he can't win.
..A little grin!
...and a little spark, and he's famous again.
