Battery Acid

My tongue is battery acid
these words are leaving scars
Lets dig this trench together
behind the pitchers mound
Man the tanks and the turrets
blood pressure keeps falling down
My eyes are pouring water
watch them put the fire out
…of my misery
…of my loaded mind
…of my agency
of my human kind
My tongue is battery acid
this kiss is burning through
Fortified my heart but still
it beats inside of you
Heavy artillery
a stint to patch a busted valve
My mouth is full of fire
you could never put me out
…of my misery
…of my loaded mind
…of my agency
of my human kind
We’ll learn to trust when everyone goes blind
Years and years of honest eyes
telling lies.

The Walking Dead
03:35
|

|
No, I don't want to take things slow
When you're pushing uphill
this life has got to start to roll
Looking in the mirror is like i'm looking at the walking dead
I wish I could scream but the thought's lost in my head.
These days, they never change
One more circle, one more leap of faith
These days, they never change
One more sun to chase the night away
No, I'm not here to waste my time,
Honest conversation or a little peace of mind
but looking in your eyes won't tell me...
What's in your head?
Screaming in the mirror but I'm talking to the walking dead.
These days, they never change
One more circle, one more leap of faith
These days, they never change
One more sun to chase the night away
Days go by,
I don't know why but I feel a need to throw them all against the wind.

Nothing said
Not a word just another roll around inside my bed
Is it safe to ask for more?
Will you still be here when I’m back from the store?
Politicians over breakfast
pardon me, pardon me
won’t you pardon me User User
Politicians over breakfast
User User
Nothing’s planned
Never think it out just use the phone and land inside my head
Is it fair to want it all?
will you still be here when I’m 64?
Politicians over breakfast
pardon me, pardon me
won’t you pardon me User User
Politicians over breakfast
User User
you.

Sweet Tooth
03:44
|
|||
|
My you’re so articulate
standing with the animals in line
Bored of all your misbehavior
taking down your help wanted signs
Mr. Cotton Candy conversation
say the word this sweet tooth hurts
Rituals that go down easy on another date with the absurd
I must have missed the gist of all this admiration
dripping off the wall
Counterfeit inauguration how’d you learn to view the word so small?
Mr. Cotton Candy conversation
say the word this sweet tooth hurts
Rituals that go down easy on another date with the absurd
Rituals are going down easy
When you’re sold its easy
So it goes, so it goes
but i’ve got to get up and go
get up and get outside.

Wreckage
softly this wind blows
Whisper softly in the halls
Wreckage
softly this will grow
Whisper softly as you go
Quiet light
quite light
Is waiting with a grace to guide us in
Higher mind
Higher mind
is praying for the light to shine again
Wreckage
softly this wind blows
Screaming nothing in my home
Barefoot
Barely all alone
Whisper softly as you go
Quiet light
quite light
Is waiting with a grace to guide us in
Higher mind
Higher mind
is praying for the light to shine again
All I know
is what I know
and what I go through every day
All I know
is what I know
and what I’ve lost along the way
I’ll never be sad
I’ll never be scared
I’ll never be more than what i am
I’ll never get old
I’ll never be dead
The light that shines on every thing…
this higher light
is waiting for me in the end.

Not In A Prison
04:38
|
|||
|
There are walls outside my window
walls up the stairs
They’re trying to cage me
but I’ll never live in there
Not in a prison laid out for me
Two in the morning
two before bed
They’re trying to heal you
take the thoughts right out your head
Not in a prison will I believe
Not in a prison laid out for me
Because I feel it in my heart
for every fire there’s a spark
There is a light in the dark
and it shines that heavily light
down on me.
There are walls outside my window
walls up the stairs
They’re trying to cage us all
but we’ll never live in there
Not in a prison laid out for me
Not in a prison will we ever believe.

Enjoy The Ride
04:30
|
|||
|
Take my time
enjoy the ride
Count my steps another thousand times
Spend my dime on peace of mind
keep my eyes pointed towards the sky
Because when I feel alright
I hear the sounds disguised
Fight or flight
drawing sides
It’s prehistoric living out of time
Spend my dime on peace inside
Loving every day with all my might
Because when I feel alright
I hear the sounds disguised
We could try again some other way
Mix and match the elements and we’ll get tall in the sky
Hand in hand, eye to eye getting by.

Something Else
03:19
|

|
She’s not really from here
I’m starting to see clear
passing her by
She’s into Manhattan
but hates all the traffic
wasting her time
If my words came down like a hammer and nails
I hope you can hear that there’s something else
Planning the getaway
with nowhere else to stay
I’m losing my mind
She hails a taxi
I jump in the front seat
and stare at the signs
If my words came down like a hammer and nails
I hope you can hear that there’s something else
If you can’t make sense of the sound that you hear
I hope you can feel that there’s something else
Now it’s the holidays
such electricity
the shock and surprise
All these overreactions
are starting to spasm
we’re showing our cards
If my words came down like a hammer and nails
I hope you can hear that there’s something else
If you can’t make sense of the sound that you hear
I hope you can feel that there’s something else
Something else here.

Doubt Comes
04:01
|
|||
|
Even when I get down I smile through it
because you’re noticing me
Even when I’m all out of these chances
I’ve always got a spare key
I hold my breath and watch you closely
I still wonder, how this could be
My feet ain’t touching the ground
not even the doubt come
Nothing can hold me down
Can’t take my head from the clouds
not even when the doubt comes
Nothing can hold me down
Every time I thought I would not make it
I thought of how it used to be
Seven years I’ve wasted on these regrets
but now they can’t touch me
I’ll stand my ground and let her walk away
You can’t help the ever-changing
My feet ain’t touching the ground
not even the doubt come
Nothing can hold me down
Can’t take my head from the clouds
not even when the doubt comes
Nothing can hold me down

Isabella Sees America
05:13
|
|||
|
Suddenly the moment’s coming through
The colors of the world, all in you
Doesn’t have to change
doesn’t have to break your heart
Doesn’t have to end
doesn’t have to be the start
Is it better to keep yourself in the dark?
Going hard with something left to prove
The more you give away the less you lose.
Shouldn’t have to stay
shouldn’t have to leave your mark
Gonna reach the end
gotta find a way to start
Or is it better to keep yourself in the dark?
is it better in the dark?
is it better?

That Rooster’s crowing
Since the break of dawn
I’m not listening
I’ve been up all night long
It goes way too short, way too fast
and way too complicated
to spend all my money on Ms. Frustrated Overrated
Let me drift away
far away from here
I know I’m bent but I’m not broken yet
If I drift too far, you stay where your are
but remember me back in the day
My feet have been barkin’
since ten AM
I’m waring my soul out
by serving the man
It goes way too short, way too fast
and way too complicated
to spend all my money on Mr. Overrated
Let me drift away
far away from here
I know I’m bent but I’m not broken yet
If I drift too far, you stay where your are
but remember me back in the day
Remember back in the day?

Love
03:50

I don’t dig on doubt or pity
I don’t mind getting caught in the rain
I wont lie for anybody
But, when I do it’s for your love
I don’t have to work at 4:30 in the morning
I don’t have to go outside if I don’t want
to run into anybody
But, when I do it’s for your love
For your love
I do it all for your love
I stay up late far too often
I don’t call my mom often enough
But I don’t dig on doubt or pity
No, I do it all for your love
For your love
Your sweet love
I do it all for your love
