Skip into quicksand and sink into sofa cushions
Piano keys to your car got lost in Pandora’s purse
Curse the cookie monster and grab a marmalade jar
We’ll go so far if you don’t know who we are
Nonsensical lyrics don’t make you deeper
Being sexy doesn’t mean you’re not a creeper
Crayon maps to pirate treasure
I want the kid’s menu back
I’m 4 years old at heart, why can’t I act like it?
Listen to sidewalk chalk and draw corner café talk
Eavesdropping over ice cream got me lost in mint chips
Lips on billboards with mustaches sharpie-d above
Dali would be proud at the surreal looking crowd
Nonsensical lyrics don’t make you deeper
Being sexy doesn’t mean you’re not a creeper
Crayon maps to pirate treasure
I want the kid’s menu back
I’m 4 years old at heart, why can’t I act like it?
Tricycle to town, and avoid the city tonight
Orchid lays on graduates who can’t pay attention
The onion headlines define the trivia on her mind
Skipping stones, cutting class, Do not pass me by
Nonsensical lyrics don’t make you deeper
Being sexy doesn’t mean you’re not a creeper
Crayon maps to pirate treasure
I want the kid’s menu back
I’m 4 years old at heart, why can’t I act like it?
I want my kids menu and discounted prices
Wax stains on the car seats where crayons melted
Sand on the floor, boys toys or girls toys in the car door
McDonald’s stop making me define my identity
I’m a boy cuz I don’t like Barbie
Sink into quicksand, fall into dreamland, this wasn’t planned
Dance like dynamite, stay up all night
Sing nonsensical lyrics and try to be deeper
Before you sink into quicksand
and fall into dreamland
Like a boy who likes Barbies
And a girl who likes Hot Wheels.

Darkness fails to distract
Darkness fails to distract
Heartache and headaches
Sore losers can’t quit thinking
While the victors are drinking
Tonight I’m the loser
The hoser
The fool on the hill
I lose my will power
And tonight loss is sour
Suburban sounds and dishwasher drone
Reminders I’m sitting home alone
Tomorrow’s agenda is completely booked
But for now I’m overlooked

The fool on the hill
I lose my will power
And tonight loss is sour

Reminders I’m sitting home alone
Tomorrow’s agenda is completely booked

Talent and Passion
Don’t you dare confuse talent and passion
I can smash a guitar and beat your brains
But that is no where near the same
I can make extreme faces and be open
I can open my mouth and hope when
I speak it will be an amazing show
But we know how that goes
So don’t you dare confuse talent and passion
I’ll intensely dance around my visions with indecision
But passionate pursuit of a mirage will lead to another garage band
You’ve got the talent to land you in the music books
I can smash a guitar and beat your brains
But that is no where near the same
I can make extreme faces and be open
I can open my mouth and hope when
I speak it will be an amazing show
But we know how that goes
So don’t you dare confuse talent and passion
I’ll intensely dance around my visions with indecision
But passionate pursuit of a mirage will lead to another garage band
You’ve got the talent to land you in the music books
Free
Free time stings when you’ve got clipped wings
I need a band, a beat, a melody on repeat
I’ve got things to express but I’m lacking words
Feelings expand and create new worlds
In my universe the muses are spinning
Black holes and Cheshire cats grinning
Breathe in and exhale a melody
Touch your soul with music and be
Free
Summer heat simmers on the pavement
Watching the world, I stare in amazement
Magic moments and childlike bliss
I want to express the honest joy in a kiss
In my universe the muses are spinning
Black holes with Cheshire cats grinning
Breathe in and exhale a melody
Touch your soul with music and be
Free
An empty pocket, no currency to hold
Mountains are dotted with fool’s gold
But I’m rich with awareness as I sigh
Lyrics won’t flow as I become tongue-tied
In my universe the muses are spinning
Black holes with Cheshire cats grinning
Breathe in and exhale a melody
Touch your soul with music and be
Free
In my universe there’s so much beauty
And I’m savoring my youth
See every moment, gilded with life
Committed to joy like a man to his wife
I’ll just breathe in and exhale a melody
Touch your soul with music and be
free
I guarantee I’ll be free
When I’m floating through my melodies
Like hope
I need a band, a beat, a melody on repeat
I’ve got things to express but I’m lacking words
Feelings expand and create new worlds
In my universe the muses are spinning
Black holes and Cheshire cats grinning
Breathe in and exhale a melody
Touch your soul with music and be
Free
Summer heat simmers on the pavement
Watching the world, I stare in amazement
Magic moments and childlike bliss
I want to express the honest joy in a kiss
In my universe the muses are spinning
Black holes with Cheshire cats grinning
Breathe in and exhale a melody
Touch your soul with music and be
Free
An empty pocket, no currency to hold
Mountains are dotted with fool’s gold
But I’m rich with awareness as I sigh
Lyrics won’t flow as I become tongue-tied
In my universe the muses are spinning
Black holes with Cheshire cats grinning
Breathe in and exhale a melody
Touch your soul with music and be
Free
In my universe there’s so much beauty
And I’m savoring my youth
See every moment, gilded with life
Committed to joy like a man to his wife
I’ll just breathe in and exhale a melody
Touch your soul with music and be
free
I guarantee I’ll be free
When I’m floating through my melodies
Like hope
Nothing to Say
I think I’ve run out of things to say
My audience has run away
Their hair was going grey
And I was still speaking.
My audience has run away
Their hair was going grey
And I was still speaking.
Dissect my mind
Dissect my mind
Discover new meaning
Simply being is never enough
And reflecting on what’s past will bring good luck
