Red Eye Flight

got back from a red eye flight
barreling down Highway 104
across New England I drove
back home
and it felt so alone
somewhere to go
but nowhere at all
no one around to know
if I was heading north or east
when I had to go neither direction
I felt for protection
safety in numbers
number was zero
I didn’t sleep so well last night
you can imagine my line of sight
isn’t so strong like it usually is
thank god I’m the only one with this death machine on the road
I feel so alone
bottle it up and save for the checkpoint
no use in drinking it now
I need an awake escape
to prop my eyes open
keeping those bags airtight
not hoping for another flight
through my windshield tonight
why is it darker?
I thought it was noon
will I find myself another red eye
this soon?
what’s that little dot up ahead?
why is my vision getting red?
is this the end?
officer, I swear I’m fine
haven’t had stimulation since right about 9
influence? I’m sure I’ll spread
when you drag my body across the ground and leave me for dead

Brighter

digging these summer beach vibes
not a single raincloud in the sky
beach balls everywhere having a good time
running my feet through the sand
nothing short of fun in high demand
nothing but the sun to brighten up my day
and believe me it does
nothing to worry about
what the fuck is democracy
what the fuck is hypocrisy
what the fuck is integrity
no dark spots on our little planet here today
everybody here’s doing a-okay
flash a grin and they’ll let me in anywhere
it’s just so nice out I haven’t a thing in the world to care
our future’s brighter
what the fuck is democracy
what the fuck is hypocrisy
what the fuck is integrity
what the fuck are you telling me

Indie Rock, Domesticated
02:15
|
|
||
|
it’s a fun little game
you play with your childhood friends
splashing in the kiddie pool
you sing like your idols
nothing new on the table
wearing fake crowns
and astrological fables
corporate worship becomes cool again
it’s okay to like pop now
tell all of your friends
the line blurs further
not ostensibly bad
but what’s the use in standing up
for what the big guns had?
the market decides
and we’re fed inspiring lies

Beads

I still wonder
if I really feel you there
digging tunnels through your hair
is it worth it?
waiting on the edge of my seat for you
but I've never seen you stare
running little beads through my mind
hoping that my love can stay blind
if I meet you up close, what will I find?
hoping that my thoughts will stabilize
hoping that my thoughts will stay blind

Welcome Home, My Darling
01:58

walked through a wall couldn’t see the floor
thought I’d be out quickly but there wasn’t a door
felt like a cave with every window boarded
and every other sign I thought to ignore, she said
“I’m a gray witch”
I wasn’t sure what that’s supposed to mean
am I soon to be surrounded by military tanks?
am I free to go or am I joining the ranks?
I said
“I’m a white warlock”
she jumped back before she smiled at me
“welcome home my darling” and we walked away
I guess she didn’t care but I was here to stay
I’m a white warlock
and she’s my gray witch and we’re here to stay
wall-to-wall amazement for our guests at play
we don’t mean to alarm but please leave by day

Having A Time

I remember
last December
lit by the moon
we’d be home soon
now that it’s June
flowers in bloom
just like back then
we’ll be home soon
and I’m having a time
a time of my life
but is it my life
or even my time
time to waste
life in haste
played our cards then
guards let us in
fields of roses
filed in rows
it seemed great then
acres of friends
no lost time then
remember when
and I was having a time
a time of a life
a life of my own
and I knew it was a life
a life of my time
something unknown
imagine wedding home
in a carriage with a shred of hope for ourselves
before the moon crashed
before the eyelash
I said to you “are you okay?”
and you fell off the train
saw my love replaced by what I didn’t know
were you in there? there were no cracks to show
where did the time go?
