Maybe it's some of the time
Maybe it's all of the time
This shit weighs me down
Maybe I'm thinking too much
Maybe I'm out of my element
I've tried some things
It's been there all of my life
Holding me back
Holding me down
Like a light switch it's nothing of sorts
I've told you before this feels like my fault
I'm trying to recognize the patterns behaviors
You can't be my savior
And I'm moving the needle
Growing my heart I've got to be the man who starts his own garden
It's been a long time coming
I did it for them
I did it for you
I did it for every fucking one I knew
I'm tired
This is my time now
And I'm just gonna
Dive in
Head first in the deep end
(You gotta let go)
Jump in
Go on won't you feel something
(You gotta let go)
Dive in

My head is full of filth
My heart is full of garbage
And maybe there is love
Or maybe it's just carbon
I don't wanna leave
I wanna stay awake
Been missing out on things
Been living in a fugue state
I wanna see the bees
They pollinate the flower
I wanna talk to you
And stay up all hours
And I gotta try
I just gotta try
Giving up on you
I'm giving up on us
Living in a bubble of trust
I wan't honest
All I wanna be is somewhere else
And all I need to be is real with myself
I've been feeling so small
I've been feeling nothing at all
Like a leaf in the wind
Gone to blow
My head is full of good
My heart is like a garden
My head is full of growth
My heart is ripened harvest
My heart is full of love
Here I am
(I don't wanna lie anymore)

Six months
It's a movie
With a bad plot
And a terrible actor
The thought slips
On the sixty
Like a gear shift
When you're leaving this town
To go and to find out
Come on
Won't you give it some time
Save up your pennies
'Cause you'll need 'em
When you're so in the hole
And your body
And the ritual
That they taught you
Won't do any good
'Cause you're laughing
And you're crying
And you're laughing now
Dare to the exit now
He ain't turning water into wine
Come on
Won't you give it some time

Good Worries

Take it out of the old mind
Out of the equation
And know that it's just fine
Out here with the blue sky shut wide down
Terrorize
The simplest things aren't ever wrong
Oh dear
It's in again
Out again
In again
Win again
Lose again
Wait for the moment
Wait not too soon
Wait for the entrance
Here comes the cue
It's coming right
Right back on through
These are good worries
So many ways this could work out
So many days living without a truth
So many ways this could work out
Right in the moment with you
And when the pain has left the light on
Someone who has hurt people change
Of heart and mind
Over matter
Of fact and fictionalize the
Good worries got you down

With my arms spread wide
Like a cactus I
Reach on up
Toward the sky
The warmth it's warm
And I realize
Love is blue
Love is green
Love is everything between
You are here
Among the rest
Do you love yourself the best
Then the birds circle in
A wounded me
And they too need to eat
And so does everything
I get it now
But I'll never understand
Why or how
Love was you
Love was green
Love was giving everything
You were there
And I abreast
But you don't love yourself the best
No you don't do you
You were scared
Of course I was scared
But you couldn't meet me just halfway down the stairs
No you couldn't meet me anywhere
So I'll sing it loud and clear
Love ain't blue
Love ain't green
So I'll pour myself to sleep
In my cave of loneliness
Deep into a womb of regret
And I'll learn to laugh again
For now I guess
I'll love myself the best

Everything Is Now

Wake up to find that everyone's left
And it stings just like that old hornet's nest
Don't you remember
The one in the corner of our house
Moves like the morning
Sleeps like a bed
And these thoughts irrational compile in your head
The mind it is pure
The body without
As you lay on the floor
Too weak to find out
And everything is now
Nothing is forever
That's how it just goes down
Wick to the flame
Like a moth to the light
Spins you right over
And spits you right out
Take what you want
And you leave somewhere else
Get what you give
When you give what you felt
Heart spilling blood
Wolves they found out
They run through the forest to check you right out
Right next to you they say
I'm sorry
'Cause everything is now
Nothing lasts forever
That's how it just goes down
That's how it just goes
With the wind
With the warmth of her skin
And the birds when they sing
When you're lung's collapsing
'Cause everything is now
And nothing lasts forever
That's how it just goes down
And everything is now
And nothing lasts forever
That's how it just goes down
'Cause everything is now
And nothing lasts forever
That's how it just goes down
And everything is now

What pain on your eyelids
I discover what the truth is
And this feeling that I can't pin
Like a water pail with some holes in
Drip out
I miss having you around
But you're out there
Looking for someone
Looking for something else
Picking up the pieces
I'll do it by myself
I've been doing just
Hey man
Would you tell the bartender
That I'm good for another
Five days
Like a bender
And I'm drunk again
I surrender
'Cause I'm out here
Looking for something
Looking for someone else
Fumbling around I do it by myself
I've been doing just
I'm lying to myself
I've been on the brink of extinction
And I'm losing my tail wind
Out of line
Pass the time
And I justify
And I just can't get it down
No one is around
No one
But me and my own devices

Morning still has not come
It's my name
Taken by her
Oh it's taken
My time's not my own
Though I know
Chaos is a near star all alligned
A symbolic poem
I rinse my eyes to the sea now
Wash me clean
Morning time
There's a light
Shines right through
But it's taken by you
So you choose
There comes a breeze
From above down below
She's telling you not to go
A symbolic poem
I rinse my eyes
In the mud
In the blue
And the love that pours right through
In my skin
In my veins
All the joy and the pain
In my life
And the blame
All the guilt and the shame
I forgive myself
Just so you know
I've been good
I'm learning how to grow
No mourning has my name
'Cause I know
I could all just let it go
And forgive me
