It's raining all sorts of people in front of trains
Heading straight to websites then papers
It's also a lesser tragedy to be late
guessing professions on each others breath
This over priced ride just hast to move
I wish it had a face to punch it blue
At least my headphones will numb my rage
It's been a while here inside this cage
Territorial fashion kicks in the assign station
in the appropriate station
it's raining incoherent DJs inside the tarp
trampling elephants on awkward stands
I can not remember when it was
an all inclusive rejection on leper time
The taking turns just has to be
atoms crashing at each others whims
This over hyped times tried to exist
somewhere near Moses muddy tears

Perhaps Before

Is it fair to ask you when will you be done
with the one you are seeing cause here I am in line
No I can't write you Neruda type poems
But I could recite him, yeah him and Dave Grohl
Cause when its over perhaps before
You better be a' waiting for me to take you on
I could be patient but don't know for how long
You and I are both in motion
and eventuality will take us where we belong

I smile for awhile
knowing melodies are best when they are short
My mind resembles a referendum
Miscounted and stuck in limbo
That's right
I'm again falling for a lover's disorder
fixing my self through her eyes
But i still linger close to the trigger
Close to a new morning's revamp
That's right
I'm a native betrayed in a requiem
With no more treaties to sign
You're my aggressor, never content oppressor
Never fair in a fight
That's right
She makes me feel like it's real
The simulacrum takes control
I always tried to be sincere
A wind of vagueness moving on
moving right on

You said I had to move away, I could no longer call this my place
No matter which way I would turn “I could not defeat eminent domain”
Because my roots are here your fancy suits I can not fear
So when you bring in the law you better bring it well reinforced
How could I fight in court when the state has won them all
So bring it on for the progress That you've claimed
this injustice must look me in the face
We will have to resort to an old fashion fight between right and wrong
I know the time is here and your shiny guns I can not fear
Farewell humble skyline of old its a lost cause after all
The end we were all born to know I'll find it here in the place I call home

A Plenty Of Many
02:17

I walked cause I am somewhere
Or got pushed this way
No is not shame which I am fearing
Just my honesty out of place
Who where and how
Was I a good friend
Was I a pond or a river
Of unnecessary rants
The night belonged to strangers
Now I belong in bed
My head between two pillows
is what I remember
|

When I thought of you
and the art that you do
By evoking desire
with the fire you inspired
You will hurt like the first love I ever lost
In abstract glow
At the beginning of a flow
We counted until late with nothing to gain
You will hurt like the first love I ever lost
Some people don't dance because they got no feet
Others don't dance because they don't know how to live
I scattered here and there
crumbs that I could trace
back to your curves
where my palms were fed
You will hurt like the first love I ever lost

Cause You Gots To
02:35
|

You're gonna want me like I want you
You're gonna have to cause you gots to
We're gonna find a way
We're gonna find a way
When will you lower your standards
This might be what true love looks like
If you were to settle with me me
If you were to settle for me
We're gonna be in debt together
We'll grow fat and rip our denim
It's alright you see
It's the American Dream
Of all the thing that I could offer
I know laughter will come often
It's a joke we'll live
You could do better than me.

Probably Or Possibly
03:28

Probably or possibly yeah whatever the odds
it would had been better to heal than to pick on the scar
But I refuse to lose the memory of you
Only the saddest song the saddest song feels like home
Whats there to do never got over you
There's been life, change, suns but to no use
Probably or possibly you will never know
Its gone beyond love now it feels like a helpless ghost
I've remained the same though I've tried to change
I'm getting to think that's all I am
I'm getting to think it should be enough
Probably or possibly if I could get it right
I'll do my part whatever it takes to have you back

To Encrypt Your Own
03:02
|

Out within
Seeing faces as God's whim
And cultured is the world
Hunting is the word
They better have my bourbon at this spot
No friend of mine
ever tells me to slow down
We are all in the same boat
Escalation is the word
Being broke is the norm
This carousel
with its fading paint on my finger nails
Has no concept of pace
Has no horses in the race
And once derailed it never comes to an end
Sometimes
Dealers are your healers
and you heal in the dark
trying to manifest a light
And you borrow someone's shadow to encrypt your own
When you show up at my funeral
You better make a scene and cry

Sank on tragedies
The mass and the priest
The news got us all down
Chaos is control
Of an uneducated force
While I'm getting ruled by the gun
While I'm getting ruled by the gun
When tradition meets
No accountability
The blood on trial is our own
When you search on me
Pockets of history
All our bigotry is revised
While I'm getting ruled by the gun
In the place I've always known
I see you watch me as I go about my day
Morning on our eyes
And if love is not enough
Then the kingdom of heaven is a farce
Hands in the communal air
Architecture of betrayal
Because all is yours and none is mine
While I'm getting ruled by the gun
You should know that I'm afraid
You might learn to forget
At the moment you have my life in your hands
The law can not invade
A horizon of regret
I'm as human as the love ones you hold
While I'm getting ruled by the gun
In the place I've always known
I see you watch me as I go about my day
There are no enemies
At an umbilical cord's reach
Is not a thorn to be born
If I smile at you
The last smile I ever drew
To live was all I was here for
While I'm getting ruled by the gun

When you came to me
you shattered what I once had been
You spoke like a rebellion
taming down days old
you rested on my chest
after shaking walls away
But then Madness found me
You gave to me
everything you had to give
I took you by the hand
where your stories had never gone
I explained the etiquette of making up things along the way
But then madness found me
For it was you and I
Against the city on each other’s arms
I'm sorry when I left confused, cold and overwhelmed
Time was ticking strong
I was afraid that you would go
Cause I know madness finds me
I know madness finds me
Shake with me if that’s what you need
Shake with me, baby while I'm here.

Songs are born while
I dance, attempting to reach you.
I paint my walls so they melt me into them a little bit slower.
I also wanna work with clowns in a circus downtown and tag along with them so I could learn to forget.
