My friends Don't Live
My friends
they don't live here
no more
it's not important
Dirty diseased
dreamer boy
they don't want you here
No More
Jenny says
eat some scrambled eggs
you're so silly
playing dead
One less of us here
turn it up and rock it out
Stoned sober
this wound won't heal
all that magic
is never coming back
I still love you
I'm not awake yet
I'm starting to shake again
Coma Coma
Coma Come on
I saw your face around the way
you looked so young and spectral
Oh shit
I forgot '
you're dead
My friends don't live here
no more
Stars collapse into baby strollers
and I demand the Queen
turn this German Shepherd into a
Spanish Maestro
Jenny says
Eat some scrambled eggs
and put some mustard on
your lettuce bed
and we don't have to go out
tonight
Us old friends
playing in the trees won't
sleep tonight
too much fun
to talk about
just to be alone
overmuch
unlucky of us
wish you knew my old friends
we'll stick around
crippling joy
let's have some kids
playing around the way together
we'll be
lucky again
Jenny says
eat some scrambled eggs
you're so silly
playing dead
Sorry it's
all wrong
turn it up and rock it out
must be charmed
if I'm seeing you
magic's coming
back to sender
making your sour
smile slightly

Not Yet
There's nothing wrong with your heart
it's just the way that you are
tell your self a million times
then a million more
so you want to survive
well you better be ready
to fight
fight being alive
fight being alive
Have we suffered enough
Not Yet
have we suffered enough
Not Yet
Have we suffered enough
Not yet
Have we suffered enough
Oh No
Sad song
always the middle
sad song
always a piece of my heart
sad song
saving my life again
as I
Write down the line
You're all
disappearing again
searching
for a ghostly friend
old bricks turn to dust
of the buildings we're in
there's only God
When you add it all up
it's always greater than zero
you can't subtract me
from believing
if you divide your love
and spread it equally
all goodness in your life
will multiply
all goodness in your life
Have we suffered enough
Not Yet
Have we suffered enough
Not Yet
Have we suffered enough
Not Yet
Have we suffered enough
Darlings
Sad song
always the middle
sweetly
taking all my heart
pretty melody all the time
as we
ride down the line
is there
anywhere better than here
no way
not if you're around
all goodness
passion in your heart
there's only God

Cushion to Comedown
I fear we're living in dark times
Everyone I know
is barely hangin' on
Feels like this captain left this ship and
I don't see no land in sight
watching my parents cry
you wicked Devil world
Stuck
on dirty drugs
sleaze motels
let's get lost
Demons at night
sing to me
always
wish
I could see
who we've
become these days
can I let
my soul out
cry it out
be at peace
All the lights
on the ground
a cushion
to comedown
all the lights
on the ground
a cushion to
It's all about
how you fall apart
secrets out
screaming in the dark
I know you are home
what you mean to me
All the lights
on the ground
a cushion
to comedown
all the lights
on the ground
stay on
It's all about
how you fall apart
secret's out
screaming in the dark
I know
you are home
what you mean to me
Oooooooooooo
Life is hard
keep on burning
keep on burning
Know
there ain't no peace here
keep on learning
keep on yearning
Love to watch you
light up
when your soul breaks out
and your aura
is glowing
good and kind
good and kind
I know
you are home
not the devil's ground
secret's out
screaming in the dark
can't break my soul
my parents made me
cry for you
demon's louder now

Seen a Change
We're not gonna reach Nirvana
I just want to be straight up with you
I don't wanna remind you
to remind me to stay in touch with you
all that drama Dolce Gabanna
on the G train to Queens marijuana blues
I'm tied up too tired to learn the rules
you're turnt up all riled and full of booze
I'll still show up your friends give me the look
I'm tired I'm tired
I've seen you change I've seen you grow
now you're rearranged and I don't know
I don't know your face I don't know your face

Grip it and rip it
Sonofabitch it happened again. I don't know where and I don't know when.
I was just trying to keep it zen. Make some amends for the way that I've been.
I can get up but I can't get to bed. You live on my block but it feels like you're dead.
Write me a note from the other side of the globe. See if it sends, I will see if it loads.
I heard from friends they filled me in. All up the nose and all for the win.
Grand Army to Harlem Greenpoint and then threw up in a cab and blacked out by ten.
Forget the beginning man get to the end. We lost our shit it got out of hand.
Made up some answers, numbered them and buried the questions deep in the sand.
I can get up but I can't get to bed. You live on my block but it feels like you're dead.
Write me a note from the other side of the globe. See if it sends, I will see if it loads.
Heard you had enough god only knows what I'd be after all those weeks on the rails.
I look forward to your second-hand woes: Poetic justice told with some prose.
I can get up but I can't get to bed. You live on my block but it feels like you're dead.
Write me a note from the other side of the globe. See if it sends, I will see if it loads.
I've seen the abyss; you're crawling your way out; you're taking a piss; I'm plotting my route.
Grip it, rip it. Grip it, rip it. Grip it.

Got this Vision

Got this Vision
Get me out of this Hell
We've been livin' in
I want to rescue my family
I'm powerless
Got this vision
I'll see it through
to the end
Tired and stone
Aliens alone
the boy you used to be
is leaving to soon
Beyond the highs and the lows
it comes and goes
tell yourself this is cohesion
don't let on
It's always too late
now is the time
you're all my friends
Thank You
Good night
The stars in the ocean
remind me
I'm free
you could always cross the bridge
from you
to us
There is no cure
try and sooth the pain
pray you're getting better
but you're never really sure
now
later on in life
standing on that bridge
the stars in the ocean
all the love I've known
Known
Known

Afraid to Leave

Afraid to Leave
I saw Old Joe
walking down the street
he don't know
where he's going
nothing to look forward to
but death
"Hello, Hello,
Hello, I'm Gone!"
More and more
Over time
All the fear
drips with the breeze
just hold
it here
Take
all the time that you need
I've got
no where special to be
Takin'
Takin a ride
wasting
all your history
We've come so far
it's still hurtin
Take all the time that you need
You're all
that's special to me
I go to the beach at night
cry in secret by
the shore line
the island's lights
they comfort me
but I am still
afraid to leave
Doubt
Everything
Watch
You age gracefully
fear
drips with the breeze
once
you feel what you've lost
painful healing
Takin
Takin a ride
Wasting all your history
We've come so far
couldn't be more lost
still finding out
and I'm still finding you
Trippin so hard across that line
I think I took too much for real this time
I'm never coming back
forever's young
No matter how hard I close my eyes
Old Joe he just won't let me go
screaming in the breeze
"Just say Hello."
Woke up in a band with a sound
strong enough to leave this shore behind
heal this history
your fingerprints

Forever Since the Sky
Doctor says I'm sick now
and the symptoms keep progressing
but there's no explanation
for this seeming convalescence
whenever you're around
we're all seeds
straight from God's parent's trees
forced to grow alone
our branches lock together
reaching for the sun
and we've been like this
forever since the sky
forever since
I never wanted anything
just a little understanding
God changed the locks again
Forever searching for Heaven
I think it's time you forgive yourself
I don't know how you move around with all that weight
and everyday
that good life
is just a little ever so
slightly out of reach
and you get there
it's just a dreamless sleep
waking up in the snow
whispering
"Hey man
climb back up on our branches
and reach for that sun
cuz I know you'd do the same for me."
And we'll always be like this
Forever Sin
I'm tired
Please send a little help
which way is
God
it's good to see you God
it's good to see you
have a heart
I never wanted anything
Just a little understanding
God changed the locks again
Forever searching for Heaven

Never in style but never played out either. Honesty, rawness, sincerity and real instruments are always pretty cool.
