Out of the Darkness

We don’t know
What to do
What to say
“Things are okay
And looking not to change”
We don’t know
Where’s the fear?
Where’s the hate
“I feel better
And looking not to change”
We’re out of the darkness now
We don’t know
Where’s the shame?
Where’s the blame?
“I have moved on
And thinking you should too”
We don’t know
How to love
How to feel
“You should move on
It’s exactly what to do”
We’re out of the darkness now
There’s things we want
And things we need
They can’t exist
If you don’t dream
So come and dream with me
We’re out of the darkness now

I am the Monster

Brain to mouth
come in mouth
Please stand by
and don’t go south.
The venom is in
my breath today.
Mental levy breaking
It came out anyway…
Better to keep it in
Isolation, my best friend
My own burden.
Alone, cold, dark…
I am the monster
I am the monster
Surrounded, yet alone.
Back to square one I go.
Hiding alone no interaction
No content just distraction
It came out anyway…
Better to keep it in
Isolation, my best friend
My own burden.
Alone, cold, dark…
I am the monster
I am the monster
Brain to mouth
come in mouth
Please stand by
and don’t go south.
The venom is in
my breath today.
Mental levy breaking

It was behind Parks and Recreation signs
where I did not like what I would find.
She’s the one who bared her soul to me.
Can you hear a word I say or should I scream it for you?
I shut my eyes dear but the volume will not do.
She was the one who bared her soul to me.
She stole the air right out of me.
Can you hear a word I say or should I scream it for you?
I shut my eyes dear but the volume will not do.
Oh wait…
And it’s not too late…
And it’s way too late…
And it’s not too late…
And it’s way too late…
Like a drunk flashing in the spring
she stole the air right out from me
and I don’t know how to breathe anymore.
Can you hear a word I say or should I scream it for you?
I shut my eyes dear but the volume will not do.
Oh wait…
And it’s not too late…
And it’s way too late…
And it’s not too late…
And it’s way too late…

The New Norm
03:16
|
|||
|
It’s a struggle
Waking up in the morning
Knowing this is
The new norm
And I sit there
In the corner at home
And I know this is….
I can’t take one more day
Being sheltered in place
It’s so strange when
Your home feels like a cell
Knowing this is
The new norm
There was once hope
That we were near the end
Now I know this is…
I can’t take one more day
Being sheltered in place

I’m wearing down this keyboard
And it’s wearing down my life
I guess that’s what you get for
Trying to survive
Binary code
Has taken its toll
I used to love the evenings
When I’d get online
Now it’s got me more depressed
Watching everyone fight
Binary Code
Has taken its toll
Algorithms feeding gluttonous eyes
A continuous
Waterfall of lies
The LEDs
Are all a glow
They are
A glow
Binary Code
Has taken its toll
Algorithms feeding gluttonous eyes
A continuous
Waterfall of lies

Are you a saint
Or a sinner?
Can you come
Out a winner?
If I haven’t made this clear
I will beat you out of here
I will shave my head
I will take the pills I’m fed
If I haven’t made this clear
I will beat you out of here
I know you worry about me
But I promise I’ll be okay
I never thought you’d leave
Or even try to hurt me
It’s now taken its toll
On this fragile, dying soul
Who can I trust to help me
Who can I trust to save me
Who’s going to save me
From this cancer?

Meaning
02:55
|
|||
|
Tell me what to say
Some meaning
A meaning
Of order
Touch my skin
Lightly
But lightly
With meaning
Hold me down
Fuck me up
I’m so lost without you
Such lovely eyes
Are prying
Still prying
With meaning
You’re staring back
You’re staring
Still staring
With meaning
Hold me down
Fuck me up
I’m so lost without you

You fought in war and kept your family alive
I’m almost 40 and just trying to survive
Oh, I wish you were here
You said one day I’d be a good man
But I’m not seeing it
How can I follow in your footsteps when you’re gone?
Your son is someone, who we cannot get along
Oh, I wish you were here
You said one day I’d be a good man
But I’m not seeing it

Save Point
03:47

I know, I know
I can’t control
The feelings I have when I’m alone
I wish they didn’t hurt me
But they do
So don’t tell me
You think I’m crazy
Tell me something I don’t already know
So where’s the save point?
So I can start over
I know, I know
I’ve lost control
Boiling rage is all I know
I wish it didn’t hurt me
But it does
So don’t tell me
You think I’m crazy
Tell me something I don’t already know
So where’s the save point?
So I can start over

Silver Lining
03:02

|
When you hold on
To a painful past
It will haunt you
Forever
I want to believe
That is all works out
What’s the point in trying
When you’re always in doubt
But the clouds are parting
And I can see the sun
A silver lining
Has just begun
If I let go
Tell me who will catch
This broken, scarred body?
I want to believe
That is all works out
What’s the point in trying
When you’re always in doubt
But the clouds are parting
And I can see the sun
A silver lining
Has just begun
You opened up my eyes
To a new life
A silver lining

You want another
And I want to save the world
Let’s again to disagree that
1,2,3 or even 4
Could ever save us now
Could ever save us
And I’m looking to the sky
To wonder if this is real
Or an unfair sacrifice
I want to know right now
Should I even stay?
Should I even go?
Or even run away
You want another
And I want to save the world
Let’s again to disagree that
1,2,3 or even 4
Could ever save us now
Could ever save us
And I’m looking to the sky
To wonder if this is real
Or an unfair sacrifice
I want to know right now
Should I even stay?
Should I even go?
Or even run away

What if it hurts?
What if I die?
What if everyone I know says goodbye?
What if I stay?
What if I go?
What if everyone I know says goodbye?
What if I stop?
What if I shut off my mind?
Would you see me?
Could you see the other side?

Dancing on the Stairwell

I’m finally free
Free from being me
Shackles of society
Loosened by apathy
How about another joke, Murray?
How about a joke?
The world’s a crazy place
Put on a different face
It is plain to see
It’s all one big comedy
Am I sick in the head?
Do I wish I was dead?
