V1
Running at the mouth
with the greatest ease
Yeah you’re proud of your flaws
you flaunt your disease
You love the sound of your voice
And you won’t give up the spotlight tonight
I'm envious of all your swagger and front
But I’ve heard it enough
I’m gonna be blunt,
Quit humble bragging, tongue wagging, time is lagging
while everyone Is trying to stifle their yawns
I can’t breathe
No relief
Need release
You’re an oxygen thief
V2
You dominate every
inch of the place
Til there’s no air left
like the depths of space
Ego filibustering,
I see you lusting for the buzz
Of the yes men saying yes ma’am
No I didn’t come
for your one girl show
There’s other voices here
I’d like to get to know
So can you take a little breather, step down
Leave the platform for somebody else
'cause I can’t breathe
No relief
Need release
You’re an oxygen thief
As the temperature falls
And the energy drains
And your voice drones on and on and on…
Maybe your mama
didn’t hug you enough
Maybe your daddy was cold
Bad tempered and tough
Now it ‘s time to grow and
let go and stop droning on
try to be polite
The world is not a choir
Born to sing your song
'cause it’s a tired old tune
And the words sound wrong
Ah you’re singing it again
and again and again
Until
I can’t breathe
No relief
Need release
You’re an oxygen thief
As the temperature falls
And the energy drains
And your voice drones on and on and on…

Let me take you
to a dream world tonight
to have fun and hear the drum beat
to release and feel body heat
lie here with me
an ocean scene tonight
tropical dance and hearts vibrate you
So come close with cheek on cheek tonight
as we feel the fire inside
Rhythmic feet and supple thighs I know
heart jumps and skips a beat
one kiss takes me to pluto and back
A dream or reality in my mind?
Rise from the flames
our world's Ash tamed one night
spin around we'll dance the tango
sea breeze and golden hair entwined
Look in my eyes
our known spark flashes bright
license our hands and let them go
undressed souls with bodies still unknown
come and touch me with your mind I know
skin on skin is there more to find
A spinning top of mystery
fireworks in the wells of your deep eyes
writhing bodies in foreign heat
A dream or reality we can find??
A dream or reality in my mind

verse 1
let’s do everything we can
not wallow for too long
let’s turn every heartache into
some familiar song
let’s make every hurry up
a chance to just slow down
hear the sound, hear the sound,
if you think a sailor’s life
is just the life we need
and you’re the name upon the lips
of everyone you meet
and if the only time you cry
is when you face your fears
pull me near, pull me near,
vs2
if we try too hard to make
others think we’re cool
and if we push ourselves when
we know damn well we’re the fool
and there is nothing stopping us
from going where we will
have your fill, have your fill
there are seven peaks to reach
and seven different planes
and nothing really matters if
you don’t sometimes feel pain
it’s not a place that you should stay
for longer than you care
be aware, be aware,
CHORUS
That’s why I’m so happy
for you
that’s why i’m so happy
for me too
verse 3
now this is an apology for all
the screams i kept
and this is an acknowledgement
of canyons that i’ve leapt
if you know the best way for someone to come around
hear the sound, hear the sound
happy now, happy now
hear the sound, happy now

never could say no to you
even when I needed a break
I fake it but you know it's true
I've been sleeping with one eye awake
took my heart and you want more
joke's on you I still think you're great
lying shaking on the floor
living on tectonic plates
got me wrapped around your finger
tight enough to feel the strain
bruises on my heart may linger
but still I'm smiling through the pain
now you call me when you’re lonely
asking me for one more chance
baby you’re my one and only
and I was saving you this dance

Buds are peeping out
From the trees
Vacant shrines wait at ease
Spring’s on the tip of our tongues
Breathe it in, that winter sun
Where were we last year?
It kinda feels the same
If life is change
Embrace the slow wane
Pollen’s making a splash
We drip in unison
Picnics to be announced
Hanami to be had
Tree trunks enjoy the silence
Waiting for our fizzy mischief
Chu-his, snacks, rice balls, magic tea
We embrace the change
Blossoms are beginnings
Blossoms are death
Every end’s a beginning
Everything comes to an end
It’s ok to let go
Even the things you didn’t process
When your hanami’s over
Don’t forget to clean up the trash
And I don’t just mean the wrappers
Have a good cry or a deep breath or a wild jam
Letting go is the only way to let in
We’re not the past or the future
Just breathe and listen within
Walking amongst the pink
Don’t overthink

I used to dream of another life
Where I could be someone else
I could be tall and be blonde and thin
And win
I could be good as someone else
Somebody else
Then I'd deserve
A place on this earth
Then I’d have worth
I used to crave me a better life
So far from myself
I’d be admired from far and wide
And satisfied
I’d be so good as someone else
Somebody else
Then I’d be free
Then I’d be me
A living breathing melody
I used to long for a better life
Another chance to get it right
I’d do good business and rake it in
And grin
Start again as someone else
Somebody else
Someone with gold
Could that make me whole?
But it cannot be
One life one chance
For the beautiful melody that is me
Now I don’t need any other life
I’ve learned to treasure this old skin
Got my own song and I can sing
Hear it echoing
Hear it echoing
I’m stumbling while I’m blossoming
Radiantly bumbling
Gloriously fumbling
Expectations are crumbling
It’s humbling

Just a beautiful day
Go outside as the sun goes down
For silflay
For silflay
I think I'd like to leave this place
Wander like a cloud above the clover and the Queen Anne's lace
For silflay
For silflay
You tell me that you want me to run with you
Away from Efrafa
Where the heartsease and persicary bloom
Beyond Efrafa
But what do you want from me?
You don't want me to run free
Just bear your babies
Settle into your dream
Of a nest and a family
It's a beautiful day
To be nothing more than a rabbit out in the meadow
For silflay
For silflay
For silflay
For silflay

As I look back I can see
All the signs were there for me
Felt it change so rapidly
On that steady South-Westerly
Saw it move from Gale to Storm
Watched it change from Good to Poor
…. Now falling…
Keep on moving steadily
Veering on away from me
Can we change from Storm to Gale?
We used to be phenomenal…
Sooner or Later all things pale
Can’t we still set sail?
… Still falling…
Backing on to a smoother shore
Ignoring all that’s gone before
Slowly move away from the Poor
Can we avoid the storm
… Now rising…?
Whether rough or smooth the sea
Let’s just take this steadily

It’s a wild and windy day
At the neighborhood café
Trees nearly blowing sideways
Cloudy towers in the sky
All grey and blue and white
It’s another one of these days
But the sun is out there somewhere
Someday soon it’s gonna shine
Here comes another day
Brace for another hurricane
The chaos is never-ending
And everybody that you meet
Is just this side of a scream
Brave faces all pretending
But the sun is out there somewhere
Someday soon it’s gonna shine
I know it doesn’t always seem so
But it’s gonna be just fine
Then I see you in the window
And you’re headed here to me
If there was anywhere I had to go
There’s nowhere I’d rather be
Have a coffee, watch the rain
As it washes down the drain
It could rain like this forever
But we’ve adapted well
Zip up your outer shell
And we’ll walk home together
Because the sun is out there somewhere
Someday soon it’s gonna shine
I know it doesn’t always seem so
But it’s gonna be just fine

It's a melancholy time of year
As winter drags on, things are blear
It seems at times I fail to cope
I feel I'm at the end of my rope
Pacing round staring at the walls
Feeling trapped in the same old halls
Like an old picture in a frame
Moment after moment is the same
Looking for some hope
Dreaming of some hope
Praying for some hope
Yet you are always there with me
Yeah you never give up on me
Yes you always will love me
You are very precious to me
Time to roll up the window blind
Time to release my blinkered mind
Time to break out of the self made cage
That has me seething in internal rage
Dying for some hope
Looking for some hope
Dreaming of some hope
Praying for some hope
Yet you are always there with me
Yeah you never give up on me
Yes you always will love me
You are very precious to me
So let's keep holding tight my dear
Your love for me is crystal clear

We live in the moment
Forever seems a long long way away
And I wake from a bad dream
But it keeps running away with me
The bigger they are
The harder they fall
The setting of suns
Comes to us all
The bigger they are
The louder they call
The setting of suns
Comes to us all
Way out in the ocean
Where there’s nothing to fear for me
The lights come ever closer
And I’m afraid that
The waves might wash me away to sea
The bigger they are
The harder they fall
The setting of suns
Comes to us all
The bigger they are
The louder they call
The setting of suns
Comes to us all
All in my imagination
I hope and pray that I
Keep my head this time
All in my fabrication
I left you open wide to
Run a country mile
You see my desperation lines
Turning a blind eye
Wasting all my time
On my big mouth
Start to lose my grip
It all begins to slip away
The bigger they are
The harder they fall
The setting of suns
Comes to us all
The bigger they are
The louder they call
The setting of suns
Comes to us all
All in my

When I get insecure and jealous
I throw my sisters under the bus
And try to raise myself up
To the standards that you set for us
And say, "I'm not like other girls
I'm not like other girls"
As long as you set the culture
I'll stay uneasy and unsure
As you move the goalpost further
Into the violent and obscure
So I hid away all the books and CDs
That reveal the weaker side of me
Shared only favorites in the approved style
On my social media profile
To show, I'm not like other girls
I'm not like other girls
I can't let you see me sweat
And I can't let you see me starve
I have to keep my body small
And my personality large
But not too large
And I can have my own opinions
As long as you agree
But I can disagree
Strategically
To keep things interesting
For you
Some girls might think it's cruel
How the boys get to set all the rules
But I think it's cool
I think it's cool
I'm not like other girls

I know you like to keep yourself to yourself
Don't like to mix it up with anyone else
I wanna break you out of that cycle
Let me tell you how it's gonna go
You and I are gonna have a real good time
So take my hand and follow me
You don't need to understand; just need to believe
You and I are gonna do something special
I wanna take you out on an adventure
And you can drop all of your apprehension
'Cause you and I are gonna have a real good time
I think you'll be pleasantly surprised
When you see the big wide world you've been missing
'Cause you've kept yourself inside
Too afraid in case the big bad wolf came calling
But there's no need for any fear
If you live like that you're gonna disappear
I know you think it's not the way things are done
But you and I are gonna have some fun.

i apologized to the cop that came

i am a nightingale
i am a blackbird in the night
i am a melody
here to tell you it will be alright
alright
i am a speck of truth
i am the grey between black and white
i am living proof
thats seeds grow into forests full of might
alright
i am a mystery
i am a rainbow in the storm
i am the fire in your heart that keeps you warm
i am a passing wave
i am a beacon full of light
i am a window to the world and its delight
i am the morning mist
i am a whisper in the night
i am a messenger
here to tell you it will be alright

Why should I care, why should I care
Why should I care, why should I care
The other night, as I dreamt of you again
I fell of bed and as the melancholy began
Those weren't the best the days of life
Well, I hope that's true
Don't tell me that I already peaked
When I was 22
Why should I care, why should I care
Pete said it best, "Why should I care"
You don't keep every friend you've ever made
When you're on different paths they begin to fade
Thank you for the times we shared
Who knows if I'll ever see you again
But the memories
Will rattle in my head eternally
(Kurtis Kantilla)

"I wanna tell you all a little story about how me and my baby met. I was out cruisin' with the top down, one hand on the wheel, and I saw this hot chick and the rest... well... "
Like a shot comes out of nowhere
And you'll never be the same
Suddenly and without warning
Your whole life is changed
Love's like a
Car accident
Love hits you
No reason or rhyme
Love's like a
Car accident
C'mon baby
It's collision time
And it leaves you with an aching
That you're stuck with evermore
When you think about the past
Don't remember that's for sure
You know I tried to be careful
Still the roads are kinda rough
You were there, I couldn't stop
Check my insurance, have I got enough?
Love's like a
Car accident
Love hits you
No reason or rhyme
Love's like a
Car accident
C'mon baby
It's collision time
Looking at the mess we're making
Babe it's not hard to believe
That when it comes to our life now
You're someone I could never leave
Love's like a
Car accident
Love hits you
No reason or rhyme
Love's like a
Car accident
C'mon baby
It's collision time
Beep beep, beep beep baby, beep beep
