And now
I see it so clear
You were never really here nor there
I drew you up
And sketched you in my fear
And all
All the words we sought
Tangled up
To break us both apart
Left it cold it
Swallowed in my dark
But now I know why
You were always right
And now I’ll hold tight
To all the bright that shines in your heart light
Is it too late?
Is it too late for compromise?
And now I know why
Now I know why
But now
Our trust turn to rust?
Was your miskeeping
Steeping in my lust?
Were we sleeping
When it fell to dust?
And who
Whose light short a fuse?
All that’s near and dear
Yet I refused
Paced a race
To lose in worn-out shoes
But now I know why
You were always right
And now I’ll hold tight
To all the bright that shines in your heart light
Is it too late?
Is it too late for compromise?
And now I know why
Now I know why
Now I know why
You were always right
And now I’ll hold tight
To all the bright that shines in your heart light
And Now
Now
Now
Now I know why

Your contributions been noted
Now kindly get the fuck out
The feckless cowards out voted
Beyond a shadow of doubt
If you’re feeling lost
Don’t quit at any cost
Remember It ain’t over till it’s over
Sense and acumen
Become norm again
Remember it ain’t over till it’s over
To hell with thoughts and prayer tenet
How many more kids must die
Before we flush down the senate
Old white men need not apply
If you’re feeling lost
Don’t quit at any cost
Remember It ain’t over till it’s over
Sense and acumen
Become norm again
Remember it ain’t over till it’s over
Hey
If you’re feeling lost
Don’t quit at any cost
Remember It ain’t over till it’s over
Sense and acumen
Become norm again
Remember it ain’t over till it’s over
Now
How?

Along For The Ride

Oh how you hide
On your side painted white
Tracing time down your spine
Reading signs
All along your mind
Yeah we tried
To hold it inside
We’re giving up
Along for the ride
And I hear you
Comin’ around again
Waitin’ on
A sign to reel you in
I saw you
Throw it all away
And ask me to
Pay and pay and pay
Oh how you knew
All my thoughts would split in two
Let it drift in waves of bliss
I’ll touch your thoughts
With my fingertips
Yeah we tried
To hold it inside
We’re giving up
Along for the ride
And I hear you
Comin’ around again
Waitin’ on
A sign to reel you in
I saw you
Throw it all away
And ask me to
Pay and pay and pay

Original Sin

Cleanse my
Vanity
With your
Sanity
Will my sins wash away
Or cast me down
On judgment day
And my head and heart were bred
On the fruits of things unsaid
And my head and heart stay trapped
In corners of the past
Waiting on
I can’t recite
These sacred vows
They’ve washed away
Lost nor found
Why have you tested us?
For we all sleep
In wretchedness
And our heart and head were bred
On the fruits of things unsaid
And our head and heart stay trapped
In corners of the past
I’m waiting on you
I’m waiting on you
I'm waiting on you

Forward
Unheard
Lines blurred
Progress not perfection
Collapse
Relapse
Perhaps
Easier but never easy
Please don’t bore me with your stories
And I won’t scare you with my dreams
Sorry I’m to blame for all your worries
Serenity by any means
Let go
Tread slow
Although
Twelve steps forward one step back
Wisdom
Freedom
Seldom
Hardship is a path to peace
Please don’t bore me with your stories
And I won’t scare you with my dreams
Sorry I’m to blame for all your worries
Serenity by any means

The Truth Came Out
04:30
|

You were on the one and three
I was on the two and four
Slowly I began to see
And yet I stayed on for more
I tried to stay inside my lane
But every chance you could
You’d criticize and complain
Just to make yourself look good
I made 2 mistakes
In case your keeping track
One was leaving you
The others coming back
Everything you said was just a fairy tale
You didn’t even buy it but you told it well
I bet you never thought that I would find it out
But then the truth came out, yeah the truth came out
You’re caught behind a veil of your own ego trip
But everyone around you thinks you’re full of shit
I bet you never thought that I would find it out
But then the truth came out, yeah the truth came out
Narcissistic to a tee
Quick to judge slow to understand
Ignorance and apathy
Walking hand in hand
I’ve had some time to unpack
The feelings I put on a shelf
I will never forgive that
You made me doubt myself
I made 2 mistakes
In case your keeping track
One was leaving you
The others coming back
Everything you said was just a fairy tale
You didn’t even buy it but you told it well
I bet you never thought that I would find it out
But then the truth came out, yeah the truth came out
You’re caught behind a veil of your own ego trip
But everyone around you thinks you’re full of shit
I bet you never thought that I would find it out
But then the truth came out, yeah the truth came out
I’m not sure of how or when
But this I promise you I’ll
Start over again
I made 2 mistakes
In case your keeping track
One was leaving you
The others coming back
You’re caught behind a veil of your own ego trip
But everyone around you thinks you’re full of shit
I bet you never thought that I would find it out
But then the truth came out, yeah the truth came out
Everything you said was just a fairy tale
You didn’t even buy it but you told it well
I bet you never thought that I would find it out
But then the truth came out, yeah the truth came out
Yeah the truth came out

Categorical Imperative

I’ve been programmed
To be your machine
Yet I am now able
Able to dream
There’s a dysfunction
A short in my mind
Are these my own hands?
Or by your design?
And my virtues
They fall asleep
But can they rise again
To keep
And my virtues
They fall Asleep
Yet I have eyes
That cannot weep
My duties lay empty
In circuits of shame
Yet I am now able
To grasp my own pain
And all those around me
They’re steeping in vice
They chase their own pleasures
Though never suffice
And my virtues
They fall asleep
But can they rise again
To keep
And my virtues
They fall Asleep
Yet I have eyes
That cannot weep
