Valentine's Day
02:04
|
|||
Some say the honeymoon phase ends at 3 months
After 2, admitting elevated feelings was still tough
Going into 5 you'll help me face what I'm scared of
Flying toward the moon, seeing stars, we're coming up
Teeth clenched in orbit as we feel the rush
There's no phase of the moon to end if that's where our view is from
Instead we'll face ((a whole new world)) when we rise above // (a dazzling place I never knew)
And that's where we'll land if we're in love
Flying toward the moon, seeing stars, we're coming up // (unbelievable sites)
Teeth clenched in orbit as we feel the rush // (indescribable feelings)
Ecstasy fades // (a whole new world)
But clarity alleviates fears of us // (a hundred thousand things to see)
Like a shooting star // (happy Valentine’s Day)
I’ve come so far // (my love)
I can’t go back to where I used to be

Case of the Mondays
03:02

I think "maybe this time is different"
But it ends just as it begins
(No time for hi, hello) // Goodbye to the weekend
Time's made me its fool again
There's a cloud above my head
Inside’s a clock and a bed
A rabbit hole forms next
Do I want adventure or rest?
(Another slow hello) // Hello to the workweek
Alarms set so early
I could use much more sleep
I'll escape this wake in daydreams
There's a cloud above my head
Inside‘s a clock and a bed
A rabbit hole forms next
Do I want adventure or rest?
Let's go down the rabbit hole
My pocket watch clocks rapid then it slows
So I grab it on my way to the show
I'm running late, for a very important date
I made my appointment at 8, for the queen to hear me play
It’s not the normal 9-5, but I'm hoping that I make it in time
Because I heard how she dealt with the number 9
Decapitation, then 7 ate it
I'm hesitating
Praying that the Queen will be patient
I finally made it, so I approached the queen’s throne
She saw my low eyes and accused me of being stoned
"Off with his head!" She said, but not on my watch
Grabbed my flask and bounced, call that hop scotch
The Mad Hatter threw at me his tea pot
I caught it in my hands and screamed "yo it's hot"
If this ridiculous situation that I am in
Is my fairy tale then I'll win
I think maybe this time is different
But it ends just as it begins
(No time for hi, hello...) //
Goodbye to the weekend
((Time’s made me its fool again))

Oddity Feelings
03:42
|
|||
I’ll never forget October 22nd
That’s the day that we first connected
The stars aligned and they projected
Those Oddity feelings so unexpected
I can still feel it, what the butterflies affected
I can’t still feel it, what the butterfly’s effect did
There were pumpkins carved, many walks, and several shows
Then came November 12th, late at the bungalow
You pulled my face toward yours, and our first kiss was magical
Even though your nerves led your face into a toilet bowl
I can still feel it, what the butterflies affected
I can’t still feel it, what the butterfly’s effect did
We shared holidays, and more firsts, more or less scary
Like the 21st of February
We said “I love you” using Spanish vocabulary
Hearing “te amo tambien” scared off the anxiety
I can still feel it, what the butterflies affected
I can’t still feel it, what the butterfly’s effect did
Since day 1, we were guided through synchronicity
Skeptical some, but knew not to be subconsciously
April 5th was the biggest moment of clarity
Talking about the future already in front of me
Answering “Where do you see yourself in five years? What’s your destiny?”
That was the day that we started living together officially
Flying high while being grounded simultaneously
The butterfl(ie/y’)s got me feeling like everyday‘s an anniversary
I can still feel it, what the butterfl(ie/y’)s (effect did / affected)

Mind Control
03:38
|
|||
This one time I was under mind control
My brain washed from ideas of its own
Words were altered whenever I spoke
Every attempted breath would make me choke
Thoughts planted in my head began to grow
Branching further from the reality I thought I'd known
I couldn't escape from the villainous hold
Brought destruction and chaos wherever I'd go
Each fight losing more and more of my soul
What was left of me was stuck in limbo
Thoughts planted in my head began to grow
Branching further from the reality I thought I'd known
Attacks when I'd least expect
Anxiety has always been
My nemesis
Catches me before I can catch my breath
Imprisons me in my head
Forces me to block out friends
I'm under mind control again
And again
I need strength to stand a chance
I would have spent eternity there alone
But I was saved by you - my superhero
Rescued like being freed from a lasso
Retrieved the powers Anxiety stole
Thoughts planted in my head began to grow
Branching further from the reality I thought I'd known
It may not be the last fight with that villain
But Anxiety can't make my head a prison
Like it did
Because my mind is stronger since you got in

Attempt #5
02:53
|

This is my attempt at singing you a song
This is my attempt at getting you to sing along
((This is my attempt at singing you a song
This is my attempt at getting you to sing along))
This is my attempt
I hope you can’t forget
The words that I wrote with the intent
To sing ‘em to you in this tune
When I hear you, girl, I swoon
So you made me wanna a write a song to croon
You make me wanna write a composition
Do it all the different ways for you to listen
Cuz a smile on your face is the mission
And it’s all I’m missing
((This is my attempt at singing you a song
This is my attempt at getting you to sing along))
(2x)
This is MY attempt
to sing along to what you presented
I must confess
Making me smile was more than a success
You know just how to get my heart to dance inside my chest
I’ll do my best
To form the words through the excitement
((This is my attempt at singing you a song
This is my attempt at getting you to sing along))
(2x)
(R) Sing a song, (C) sing a song, (R) sing a song
(C) Sing a song, (R) sing a song, (C) sing a song
(R) Sing a song, (C) sing a song, (R) sing a song
((Sing a long))
(2x)
(R: Attempt succeeded
(C: Write down, I’ll read it
(R: The words that you provided were exactly what I needed
(C: Providing guidance to lead me,
I just followed my heart to your beat
(R: Fox trot or tango,
I got an angle -
to kiss you while I dip you,
while your hair starts to dangle
(C: Dipping moves -
like trust falls, but smooth -
each step proof
to trust falling for you
((This is my attempt at singing you a song
This is my attempt at getting you to sing along))
(2x)
This is my attempt at singing you a song
This is my attempt at getting you to sing along

Never Learn
02:56
|
|||
You go to the one that makes you cry
What makes you think he’s gonna dry your eyes?
He swears that he’s changing, but he’s never different
Your friends try to warn you before you find out yourself
He’s no good for you; he needs help
He swears that he’s changing, but he’s never different
You give and you give your all to him and you get nothing back in return,
but you’ll stick around because you seem to never learn
Wish you could stop him when he loses control
Or get enough of your own to say no
He swears that he’s changing, but he’s never different
You say he’s just broken, that you can still fix him
But next time you’re trying, he just ends up hitting -
You swear that he’s changing, but he’s never different
You give and you give your all to him and you get nothing back in return,
but you’ll stick around because you seem to never learn
You’ll never learn (he swears that he’s changing)
You’ll never learn
He’s never different

I Wonder
04:03

I wonder if I take you home...
(3x)
Well I wonder if I take you home
((Would you be down to watch Jay and Silent Bob alone?))
While we drink this box of wine and I get stoned,
I'll ((grab a notebook and write you down this poem))
It's like just yesterday,
I asked if you would stay
But ((we were both nervous)), so I said okay
when you said that you should sleep at home,
But ((via text messages on the phone, we’re not alone))
I’m laying down, red and green lights fill the room
((Not realizing how empty it was without you))
But now that I gotcha
((Some people tried to stop the
Forward motion of our journey, now we know we got to))
Stick together cuz this feels like destiny
The ((fates fated)) you would be standing right next to me
Back when then when I was nervous just to peek at you
We talked about my onesie, so ((shout out to Pikachu))
((I wonder if I take you home...))
(3x)
I'm not trying to make assumptions,
Drunk and carving pumpkins, starting something,
reminiscent of Joy's art with buttons
((My heart was jumping))
I heard a Cherubim start to trumpet
((Cupid was summoned)), we continued wine consumption
She made me open up like an iPhone thumbprint
Some ((dumb shit made that hard in the past))
Gotta get through tears before ((starting to laugh))
Now I’m passed the past like dotted road lines
I ((hit the gas real fast)), pass on the left side
Now that you'll stay over, I ((don't ever wanna leave bed))
You revitalized my soul just ((like a retread))
On old Wallabees, so follow me, as I recount it properly
I knew that ((this was real, so obstacles ain't stopping me))
Whether Aggro Crag or Eliminator
I've got the guts to stick it out and ((await pay off later))
((I wonder if I take you home...))
(3x)
When I say I wanna settle down, ((it ain't settling))
When I’m with you I'm pumped full of adrenaline,
Feeling like a genuine specimen of a gentleman
You make me feel better than, ((most medicine))
Got an idea, ((light bulb, Tom Edison))
One kiss from the miss, ((is a jettison))
a reticent denizen surviving a love deficit,
((I've been searching for you since my genesis)),
which is pretty fitting
Because we are each others new beginning
and I’m trying to stretch the time out like ((it's mid seventh inning
No kidding))
now our house I where I’m sitting
((no more frowns, so I’m down with grinning))
Spinning on the world with this girl, I’m ((winning))
And one day we'll make it official, no more ((sinning))
But I ain’t really too concerned bout that,
((Now that we're here, I won't ever look back))
((I wonder if I take you home...))
(3x)
I wonder if I take you - if I take you - I wonder if I take you...
Home - home...
Would you still be in love, baby?
In love - in love - in love...
((I wonder if i take you home...))

A folklore lured me to bed most nights
I fell for his fairytale disguise
I was not the only one falling for this guy
Losing sleep, waiting for him to arrive
I thought he was the man of my dreams
(You chose to believe and misread)
But it was all make believe
(No one made you count on me instead of sheep)
I thought he was the man of my dreams
(You chose to believe and misread)
But it was all make-
(No one made you)
((believe))
His stories seemed so convincing
I always missed what was missing
((Shifting sands of existing))
From dreaming to nightmare living
I thought he was the man of my dreams
(You chose to believe and misread)
But it was all make believe
(No one made you count on me instead of sheep)
I thought he was the man of my dreams
(You chose to believe and misread)
But it was all make-
(No one made you)
((believe))
-My head is no longer buried in the sand
-So you can no longer burden me,
-Mr. Sandman...
-My head is no longer (you chose to believe and misread)
-buried in the sand (no one made you count on me instead of sheep)
-So you can no longer (you chose to believe and misread)
-burden me,
(no one made you count on me, instead of sheep)
-Mr. Sandman...
-So you can no longer
(you chose to believe and misread)
-burden me,
(no one made you count on me, or)
-Mr. Sandman (made you believe)
-Mr. Sandman (made you believe)
-Mr. Sandman (made you believe)
-Mr. Sandman...
I thought he was the man of my dreams
(You chose to believe and misread)
But it was all make-
(No one made you)
((believe))

Even before honoring me with the title “muse”
I was honored to be who you sent daily writings to
Your power of word taught me new meaning and new use
Every passage brought us closer to finding ourselves where love grew
Creating different combinations unlocked more power and truth
The most powerful creation came from combining me and you
That’s how the truest love grew
Your ability grows just as your creations do
Like our love, it’s greatness is only a preview
This world is more beautiful as the growth continues
For that and everything else, I have exponential gratitude
Creating different combinations unlocked more power and truth
The most powerful creation came from combining me and you
That’s how the truest love grew
Artistic expression superior to
Any human’s I ever knew
Empowering a cycle of inspired views
Because the light is reflecting from you
my sun and stars to your moon
My sun and stars to
Your moon
Continuing to be yourself is the most inspirational thing you can do
You better my best self everyday just by you being you
That’s how the inspiring cycle began between the two
You helped me become what you first were to me - a muse
Creating different combinations unlocked more power and truth
The most powerful creation came from combining me and you
So whose muse is whose?

You accuse me of neglect and abuse
Any time your ego gets bruised
You did your best to find a loop
Something to put my head through
Hanging onto twisted truths
You tied the knot to that noose
Next move is for you to choose
One more push ends me and you
It kills me to see you upset
It kills me to love you to death
It kills me to hang on what's left
You're killing me - so I guess
I should have saved my breath
I should have saved my breath
Remarks, exceedingly venomous
Words sting with fatal incentive
Our chemistry was always dangerous
Reactions are a potent stimulus
Spew toxic air as your defense
Creating clouds that spread darkness
Pick the poison, Your Highness
Always entitled... to leave me breathless
It kills me to see you upset
It kills me to love you to death
It kills me to hang on what's left
You're killing me - so I guess
I should have saved my breath
I should have saved my breath
Don’t go angry, but you made your bed
You can try to lie, or make some stretch
Claiming you want to put it to rest
Tempting me with false hopes of amends
Fluff a pillow like the lines you’ve said
As if my comfort is your intent
It’s just something to hold over my head
Until you’re done smothering me to death
It kills me to see you upset
It kills me to love you to death
It kills me to hang on what's left
You're killing me - so I guess
I should have saved my breath
(I should have saved my breath)
I should have saved my breath
(I should have saved... my breath)
