Shapeshifter, lost at sea
But “well prepared” for where you’re going
Assured, no one’s watching
Relentless privacy
Blue ocean down the street
Compares the shade of your prescription
Light green, home and lively
Awe-inspiring
Drive through the farm land daily
Clouded thinking
Idle in the grasslands
We all lay down to sleep
Dreaming of precious poetry
The ideology
Please tell me where this road takes me
I’m sheepish and full of
Hopeful turmoil
Spring air, nose itchy
Congested head, both live and thinking
Unprepared for what’s coming
Self fulfilling prophecy

Annie, shake your head
Those sleepless nights
Are all for entertainment
Darling, get a grip
This careless sense of
Patronage makes me sick
And i , I don't owe you anything
Give me anything, give me something new
Truly, I don't care
Take your useless
arrogance far from here
Darling, don't be shy
Show these thieves and
Beggars how and why
We will not fold
We will ruin you
We will ruin you
Oh my god lets go
Build me up and break me down

Spin me around then drop the bottom out
I’m no more clever than a fox in a house
Then when your done with me just throw me out
I’m not re-usable, i’ve figured out
Wake up real early in the living room
First find your bearings, rise from the tomb
Then shake the cold out by the fireplace
Light up your cigarette and start off the day
Collect your dignity and don’t be scared
Please know that no one once has felt prepared
Don’t feel so useless, you’ve done so well
Forget the headaches while you fire up another farewell
On Tuesday eve he’s got a ghostly stare
Forgot completely what he did prepare
You tell the truth so remorsefully
Save your honesty for family
The things learned from this year will not be shared
Truths are meant to be learned with care
I see your motives through your strategy
Capacity is such a tragedy
And he’ll float and fly
Through the vast blue sky
Until the lightning finally strikes him down
He’ll return his receipts
Get real weak in his knees
Until they buckle in the parking lot

I can only feel
I can only steal
Your heart from your sleeve
Picture it for me
Cut him open
No more winners
They are lost and
We are all just sinners
But our river’s run dry
Null my acknowledgements
I know my punishment
Across the street and out the window
Florescent lights provide a stronghold
For the sign
It reads “beer and wine”
Five o clock on Sunday morning
I’m wide awake, but lost and dreaming
For now I’ll close my eyes
Before the sunlight’s rise
The morning birds, they cry
They sing me a lullaby

Animal

Constantly moving in retrogade
Pushing us into reverse
Call me by name then ignore the attachment
Now
Turn out the light and then question the darkness
Decisions like this make it clear you are heartless
Pull all my teeth out and force me to close my mouth
Why should I call you by name?
You’re a mannequin, you’re just for show
Stiff and cold with no brain
Oh, but what do I know?
I’m an animal, please hurt me
Just beat me, no mercy
Surely you’re intoxicated
Depressed i’m sure, but not much worse
And stumbling I nearly fell
Off the roof and straight to hell
And back, but then we’ll see how free
Are all my possibilities
Just lies that i’ve been force feeding
In hopes that I will keep breathing
Self prescribed we medicate
We all set fire to the lake
And dive head first to holy lands
All the while just “holding hands”
Oh what a joke, a shameful plea
You think you know whats best for me
Point your finger at my face
And tell the world of my disgrace
“Change is good” she says in spite
What do you think you know of my life?
You can take your photographs
And talk of my behaviors, had to
Show them all the tragedy
Until you don’t feel bad about yourself
Repeat the cycle but
Before you lock me in my cage
At least feed me a living wage
We animals lack capacity
To handle this society

Con

There is no compass
Its been swept up in the darkness
Caused from mirrors and beams
Of radiant moonlight
Its funny how we tend to
view the future with such hope
How we could fool ourselves to believe
What our mind has told
I won’t pretend that i’m lonely
I’ve got plenty of trusty homes
And when I grow old and rusted
The oxidation will cleanse my soul
But as a matter of fact this is haunting
A million voices all silenced at once
Fever dreams on Tuesday evening
Remind me of when I knew who I was
What makes you think I don’t feel this?
What makes you think you’re in control of yourself?
We’re all just animals backed by relentless self doubt
And while the tragedies strike all capacities fill
With all those feelings that somedays you wish you could kill
But there is no remorse from those that have wronged you
Just please keep in mind, we’ve all done that ourselves too
You’re nothing else but a con to yourself and your friends
But that doesn’t mean those friendships will end
And what about the past? Have you learned from it yet?
Did you study the patterns or choose to forget?
What makes you think you don’t feel this?

Waste

In a new light i promise i could
Be more myself
But the its going now is just resenting
Its hard for us sometimes to fully
Pen the thoughts
From the tragedies our minds just keep awakening
Oh what a waste of energy
the endless times
We recreate history
Oh what a waste of memory
Silent driving
Back from my home state
Would it be more resourceful
To let things stay the same?
Or would I spend my whole life just
Reflecting?
On the possible outcomes
Of things that I could say
To let you know the thoughts my mind
Are racing
Oh but who am I kidding?
I’ve recognized these
Things are not fading
Oh what are you thinking?
Could you see yourself
Love your new names?
In come the clouds
To dampen the evening
An unfortunate familiar feeling
Of truth lost before its found
In the earliest days
Of something thats too far to believe in
Oh what a lack of honesty
The ways we calculate
Our trajectory
Oh what is your theory?
Self love first before
You go sharing
