Snooze Alarm

I tasted tears when I
I kissed your eyes
Love as a series of long goodbyes
I really meant no harm
When I pushed the snooze alarm
I just wanted a little more time with
Perfect climate and we climbed
Touching tastebuds in that tree
Sun sat low, with all that time
To sway together, in the breeze
I tasted tears when I
I kissed your eyes
Love as a series of long goodbyes
I really meant no harm
When I pushed the snooze alarm
I just wanted a little more time with
Stars diamonds, pupils dimes
Standing naked, in the dark
I said, “does it feel to you,
Like we’re being torn apart”
I tasted tears when I
I kissed your eyes
Love as a series of long goodbyes
I really meant no harm
When I pushed the snooze alarm
I just wanted a little more time with
You

Maple Syrup & Coffee
03:00
|
|
||
Windows shut blinds half open
My golden hour comes at 11
Hey pizza girl, are you a yogi?
There’s no need to smile so coyly
Maple Syrup, coffee pouring
I kissed my ex just this morning
22 degrees, light on target
I lay prostrate on the carpet
It sure ain't bad to live
Better than the alternative
The only rules are self imposed
If you love me then just say so
Cute girl with a motorcycle
Cute girl learning french
I have been to Everest
And marianas trench
Feed a friend a lifetime
If you teach them how to fish
But you'll poison them with Mercury
And turn their life to shit
It sure ain't bad to live
Better than the alternative
The only rules are self imposed
If you love me then just say so
Plastic Bubbles on the table
Life is short, a tad unstable.

Never Missed a Train
03:27
|
|

Bashing your head up against the wall
Till it breaks through
Or will it break you
Either way, pick up the pieces
And learn something new
The process of living seems to consist
In realizing truths
Barren platitudes
Either way, everybody
Starts from anew
Not sure I could define what better even is
But I’ll never know the trouble of a better life than this
No spoiled rich, and not a wretch
I never missed a train that I was meant to catch
Seeing your face posted on my wall
Insecurity
It’s killing you
Killing me, I’m not oblivious
To these things
Ooh ooh ooh
I just chose to be
Not sure I could define what better even is
But I’ll never know the trouble of a better life than this
The road to hell is paved with regrets
I never missed a train that I was meant to catch
Not sure I could define what better even is
But I’ll never know the trouble of a better life than this
What’s past is done and the future aint set
I never missed a train that I was meant to catch

Sisyphean
04:31

|

Push that rock
Til it drops
Again and again
Sisyphean
Punch that clock
Til it stops
Again and again
Sisyphean
Bukowski, post officer
Einstein, patent clerk
Da vinci, engineer
They all put in work
Jesus Christ, Carpenter
Che Guevara treated lepers
Julia Child and the CIA
We all put in work
Push that rock
Til it drops
Again and again
Sisyphean
Punch that clock
Til it stops
Again and again
Sisyphean
At the mountain he must face each day
Sisyphus punches in in the morning
In hell for eternity
Patient with death and belonging
The universe henceforth without a master
Each flake of that night filled mountain
Struggle enough to fill a man’s heart
Happiness resounding
Push that rock
Til it drops
Again and again
Sisyphean
Punch that clock
Til it stops
Again and again
Sisyphean

Saudade
04:39
|
|

Eu sou fogo e beijafloes
Quando me lembro dos odoes
Eu não posso ficar esperando
Com saudade de um futuro ja passando
Dannielle, so nice to have found you, alight and full of glee
I'll tell you all I am until I am emptied
We'll swell, our pulse our chests
In breath and heat and sweat
Saudade for all the times we could have met.
Nos sonhos eu vou pra Trindade
Quando eu sinto o Trindade
Eu não posso ficar esperando
Com saudade de um futuro ja passando
O tempo e realmente so ilusão
Nos enganamos com o futuro e o passado
Agora e o ponto em que encontramos a eternidade
Tudo que temos e sentido e saudade
Dannielle the light that abounds you
Extend and engulfs me
Alls well
And together we can transcend our memories
Your smell your taste your sweat
And all I can injest
Saudade for all times we have not had yet.

Awake
02:48
|
|
||
Your love is like a tidal wave
Wash me clean and take me away
Turn my body into ocean spray
Mind afloating
Body boating
That’s how I’ll stay
We lay under our apple tree
Nibble cores and we swallow seed
How the juice runs down our cheeks
Now I’m in it
Glad you finished
Right before me
All my thoughts are coming unglued
Look at the mirror and I’m falling through
All my dreams are coming true
And I will stay awake with you
Be aware of what’s left unsaid
Words and thoughts don’t just stay in your head
They dribble out and the puddle will spread
It’s quite important
To not get shorted
Or you’ll end up dead
All my thoughts are coming unglued
Look at the mirror and I’m falling through
All my dreams are coming true
And I will stay awake with you

Orion

I met you in the cold dark of
Midwinter’s breathe towards the sky above
You taught me how much that love hurt
You were old and I was younger
When I look you eye to eye
I am mirrored across the sky
We are all made of stuff of stars
Of frequencies not time
Your heart it pumps from the left side
Swells like the sea’s tide
Red like my insides
You first struck me with your belt
The love you dealt
In three stellar welts
You taught me to be a warrior
Cosmic Explorer
Impasse Destroyer
You go away for summer
The absence of love
The distance of lovers
When I look you eye to eye
I am mirrored across the sky
We are all made of stuff of stars
Of frequencies not time
My body is just like yours
Your body is made of stars

Vexation
03:33
|
|
||
As scared to fall asleep,
Perchance to dream...
As to awake,
Day to break.
But come what may, to end my day,
I’ll resolve to dissolve.
Curl up in bed, put pillow to head
And breathe
Make believe
Knowing not of fear, or if I’m even here
I’m home
I’m home
Eyelids looking lovely
Projections going dark
Edges getting fuzzy
I am you are we are
Are you sure we have to leave?
I was just falling asleep
When I tell my story am I afraid of being boring
Or am I afraid to die?
Now I’m full of terms I never thought to learn:
Enfermero y suero
Is now the time I must quit? my head is in the bucket
Time to split, this is it.
I’m high from ventilation and spinning in vexation
I’m home
Catacombed.
Eyelids looking lovely
Projections going dark
Edges getting fuzzy
I am you are we are
Are you sure we have to leave?
I was just falling asleep
Hey venetian machiavelli, is there something you need to tell me?
I cannot fake this
I’m no phaedrus
Oh the moon is waxing waning
And my wings are wax and melting
I’m falling back
