Don't Look Down

This feels like another day
To watch out for
Loose jaw creaking from
The night before my
Nerves shot to shit
Low on breathe
Hoping there’s water left
There’s mass appeal in my circle
And we sell it real to the public
There a cost to keeping above it
It’s no price to pay if you love it
It’s a catch - daddy don’t
Sway in the clutch
Blushing at the
Sucker punch my
Nerves tried to kick
It’s been a grip
Gripping on a fifth
Listening through a crack in the door
Vanity and my fool for hours
Candid as I can be with myself
Candid as my mirror gets
I wore out my time
Won’t you lend me what’s left of yours
I’ll spend all of it blind
But I see something out on the line
Don’t look down
Would you dare
I just might for this here
Don’t look down
Would you dare for this here
I just might
Don’t look down on me baby
I might dare
I just might for this
Hey - daddy don’t sway
In the clutch
And I don’t pray
For much
My nerves have gone to sleep
In too deep
So many mouths to feed
There’s mass appeal in my circle
And we sell it real to the people
There a cost to keeping things even
It’s no price to pay if you feel it too
I’ve worn out my time
Won’t you lend me what’s left of yours
I’ll spend all of it blind
But I see something out on the line
Don’t look down
Would you dare
I just might for this here
Don’t look down
Would you dare for this here
I just might
Don’t look down on me baby
I might dare
I just might for this

Blessed to Forget

I’m not choking I’m just gasping for air
I ain’t spoke unless it’s some to declare
I can’t focus every open eye
Been caught by the glare
Caught by the stare
It’s a motion I been
Cracked under weight of the snare
Keep on dosing over my problems
Keeping posted up like it solves em
Keep on dosing over this trauma
Keeping a hit up in my pocket
We ain’t blessed to forget
We’ll be around though
We’ll be around
Can’t put this off any longer
Can’t you see what I see
When you close your eyes
We ain’t blessed to forget
We’ll be around though
We’ll be around

Whenever there’s nobody left to make amends to
You can make it up to
You can make it up to yourself
Take a belt off of whatever’s left
You can take it up with
You can take it up with yourself
Sever the thought at its root
unshakeable cool quit holding on to it
I just might be out of my depth
Drop a coin in and listen for the click
And if it don’t take
I’m trying to be see through
But I can’t undo this without you
Inducing little panics for me to
Interact with when
No melodies speak to me
Looking to those that survive with inherent spirit
And if they’re holding all the better
Baptized by the weather
Now we’re all together
Where’d you put that lighter
Your my alibi please
Don’t leave
What I need just seems unlikely
Seems unlike me too
I been right beside myself
But I can’t undo this without you
Inducing little panics for me to
Interact with when
No melodies speak to me

Easy to come up
But is this too far
Is this the death of me
Sound the alarm
Is this my color
Is it still in the cards
Are you still standing next to me
With my head on the bar
It’s never done
Only strike one
Have another stick of gum
On me
Gravity’s not been so dependable
These days
Maybe it been longer than I thought
Either option you end up caught
Tap into that same sense of sympathy
You spend so quickly on a stranger
Tap into that same sense of sympathy
And spare just a little bit
For your year zeroes
Those crumbling corrupt heroes
Tossing matches at the foot of the monument
Not for warmth but to remind us
Tossing pennies at the foot of the monument
All those necessities that we sacrificed
To see so sickeningly clear
So dazzlingly bright
To see it so sudden and so near
It invites me in
And I can’t look away
Digging the cracked dead earth

Downtown

Falling always in the right direction
Laughing at the thought of living well
Left your mark cut through misguided tension
Earned something else
Notches on you belt
No question it’s about to be
A small world, a small world
Bracing for the worst
Who told you it’s
A matter of avoiding that curse
That curse blessed me tho
Nursing audio
Voices in our hands
Breathing in the glow
On and on the tempo stutters
Muttering to myself for the rhyme
Self destruct by design
Falling head first on my best intentions
Don’t act like you weren’t warned
By now you outta know all my tells
Say something else
Cowboy mouth
It’s a hard sell
We’ll make do without
Biting at the edge of the water
Dirtying up my knees
No question it’s about to be
A small world, a small world
Bracing for the worst
Who told you it’s
A matter of avoiding that curse
It lives there with you
Downtown
Don’t let em choose it for you
Don’t let em look in the bag
I’m feeling pressure to run

Everything Hits at Once

Finding my light through you
Finding my myself brand new
Lying right into the dark again
Blindsided by the truth
Finding my light through you
Filter the light through you
Lying right into the dark again
Finding myself brand new
Now and then
The choir speaks for me
The feeling visits briefly
Everybody gets burned
But we continue
Everything hits at once
Offering a clear view
Everybody has plans
That they’ll never see through
You can make me feel bad
If you want to
This a guess
This that nothin left
This is loss of self
This is stress
This my tell
This a guess
This is nothing
Aight bet

That Little Bit of Gold

Thank goodness that you’re here
Just when I’d have doubted
Man the winnings thinning out
If the rain gets in
If the rain gets in
If the news gets out
Man the winnings thinning out
If the rain gets in
Most frequencies are static
But this one sounds clear
Thank goodness that you’re here
Just when I’d have doubted
Man the winnings thinning out
If the rain gets in
If the rain gets in
Don’t bother counting the take
As long as you’re moving you’ve got that
Pressed silver angel in pocket
Don’t bother counting the loss
As long as you’re safe you’ve got that
Little bit of gold round your neck
Keep the energy alive
Penny for a piece of mind
And if you want it baby
You can do that time
If you want me to
I’ll keep working till the day I die
If you want it
That ain’t nothing to hide
Don’t bother counting the take
As long as you’re moving you’ve got that
Pressed silver angel in pocket
Don’t bother counting the loss
As long as you’re safe you’ve got that
Little bit of gold round your neck
Red sand
Right hand
Rubber band man
Red sand
Right hand
Rubber band
Give daps
Relapse
Couple grand
Red sand
Right hand
Rubber band

How to get used to
These clear mornings
Like most things
The motives only show up in the post
Stay alive ok quick favor
Lend me a mask I’m going out
I’d love a touch before I leave
Put that endless distance to my mouth
Tell me about that crack at the bottom of the glass
Where the center of the earth leaks through
And it’s blue and it’s clean
The alarms going off in real time
Can’t stand to reach outside
Sucking IVs of haunted pomegranate blood
Swallow the secret
Swallow the grudge
Swallow your temperament
Swallow the flood
Stop I’m exhausted
Tell me about that crack at the bottom of the glass
Where the center of the earth leaks through
And it’s blue and it’s clean

Butterfly

Wasting wonder on a
Suckers bet
Wired up for
One final paycheck
Who do you know that knows
What to expect
Who do you know now
who to forget
Cables caught around my ankles
Answer quick and clear the table
Six to one, consume or cry
Turning the wheel to break the butterfly
Smear some blue over my eyes
Bite down on the apple
There’s a happy surprise inside
Whispers in the hall that the rents gonna spike
(I’m a cheerful hostage, I’m a cheerful hostage)
The neighbors were pushed out
Now it’s English on the signs
(I’m a cheerful hostage, I can’t keep the cost up)
If that sounds pretty awful to beat
I’ve heard it’s an ugly color on me
Six to one, consume or cry
Turning the wheel to break the butterfly
Smear some blue over my eyes
Bite down on the apple
There’s a happy surprise inside
Turn on the lights
Let our little pets scatter
Whose got a right
Your guess is good as mine
I’ve been saving change
In tin by the window
I think maybe it should
cover the price of that cough
Gin in my milk
To kill all the germs
And a trail of bread crumbs
so I don’t get lost
In my room - in my room
I’ve heard pieces of the news
Though the vents often lie
Turning the wheel to break the butterfly
Smear some blue over my eyes
Bite down on the apple
There’s a happy surprise inside
Turn on the lights
Let our little pets scatter
Whose got a right
Your guess is good as mine
How to put up a fight
Boxed in like cattle
Whose got a right
Your guess is good as mine

Say Something

Got your face beat right
For going out somewhere tonight
Looks like a trick of the light
But maybe it’s been shifting by degrees
All this time
Say something
Say something to me
Even if I can’t understand
I won’t blush to feel it so heavy
And weighted down with history
We can twist to maintain
That sweet drowsiness of the evening
If we speed ahead faster than we think
Call me hopeless and naive
But I trust what I receive
The lines in my hands predict death
And echo it like dogs
But they’re loyal as well
As far as I can tell
I’m still on your side
It’ll be alright
I’m taking you out somewhere tonight
Here’s hoping to keep up the fight
Baby I’ve been on my knees all this time
Say something
Say something to me
Even if I can’t understand
I won’t blush to feel it so heavy
And weighted down with history
We can twist to maintain
The sweet drowsiness of the evening
If we speed ahead faster than we think
Call me hopeless and naive
But I trust what I receive

Sirens

I get nauseous eyes
I’m just spilling looks
Cutting all our ties
romanticize those feelings
Room spinning
But who’s in it
5 years still loose fitting
Shift your gears
And quit your grinning
Tell them off
It’s not their vision
All this talk
You forced my hand
Let the silence hang heavy
Sirens going off
Trying to keep my hand steady
Sirens going off
I’m caught
Red shine
Brake lights
Illuminating your whole night
Full of grace and insight
Keeping the company uptight
Emergency faith
The walls seem closer now
The waiting room suffocates
In a prayer position
By right of whatever system of
checks and balances the universe
has in mind
Assume the pattern
Let the silence hang heavy
Sirens going off
Trying to keep my hand steady
Sirens going off
I’m caught
