we’re occupied, no vacancy
shaking my head while they’re
shaking their hands behind doors
that are closed I suppose it’s for a reason
love it or hate it
destroy or create it
there’s no heart in their rules
so it won’t hurt if you break it
we’re occupied, why can’t you see?
into this form i’m born
for such a short sweet time
i am a wilderness
i wonder what you’ll find
in my home, i am zoned
in my bones, i am zoned
out on the cities porch
i can count the stars
yet still the universe
is in my backyard
in my home, i am zoned
in my bones, i am zoned
in my phone, i am zoned
when I’m stoned, i am zoned
we’re occupied, no vacancy
shaking my head while they’re
shaking their hands behind doors
that are closed I suppose it’s for a reason
love it or hate it
destroy or create it
there’s no heart in their rules
so it won’t hurt if you break it
we’re occupied, why can’t you see?

fix

fix the game, watch the puppets play
snip those strings
make your own song to sing
make your own shit to fling
grind your rind, until you have no mind
to rebel
tell you that i feel well
when i truly feel like hell
crazy man, ask a crazy question
slow it down
watch it come back around
build it back from the ground
visceral, wild, raw and full
heads ablaze, at least i see the haze
wanna be ready for when, it all comes back again
i'm a pile of bricks, looking for a fix
decide, which side i’m dying on
i’m not wasted
i’m recycled
i’m energy
i’m nature
i want to nourish our potential
we’re on the precipice of a meltdown
we can freeze up or we can mutate
what things can i fix?

dud
05:36
|

got it good but i still complain
hurts so bad now i’m not the same
do you ever get curious
if your struggles luxurious
while we fill up our shopping carts
someone’s families torn apart
bombshell blowback still lingering
vital resources dwindling
i’m sick of war, we can’t afford
these corporate rates, and fascist states
erase the debts, and fighter jets
each bomb above, should be a dud
multinationals globalize
working classes are atomized
can’t repress your realities
or your unconscious fantasies
fight for peace fight for native lands
fight for love not invisible hands that
cast their spells and then leave us dry
fight for water and fight for life
it’s time to step back
time to come to terms with what you lack
time to transcend
time to tighten up the loose ends
time for the youth
time to face your deepest, darkest truths
time to rise up
so the world won’t end up a… dud
it’s time for a change
time to see the world a different way
time to trangress
time to nuzzle up to natures breast
time for the old
time to give up power and control
time to wise up
so the world won’t end up....
completely fucked up
i’m sick of war, we can’t afford
each bomb above, should be a dud
time is a gift
time to make your peace and mend the rifts
it’s time to rise up
time for me to pull the plug

i am now
04:25

so mystic, so ballistic
always working rainbow collar days
elemental, so existential
phantom power crisis gaze
so stupid, drunken cupid
word soupy, mushy mushy mush
emphatic, so emblematic
ecstatic clutter flush
i just wanna see things clearly
i just wanna know you hear me
eliminate the obfuscations
every obstacle removed
i just wanna see things clearly
i just wanna feel you near me
obliterate the obligations
every obstacle removed
i just wanna see things clearly
i just wanna love you dearly
illustrate the orchestration
every obstacle removed
i don’t like it when you play dumb
no fun when your big old hearts numb
i just wanna see you feel more
even if it brings you down
i just wanna be your play toy
stupid little big old baby boy
i just wanna see you happy
even if i don’t understand
walk around like it never even happened
but it did
but it did
the futures never but the past is always present
i am now, i am now
that was then and yea sure things could be different
i am now, i am now
what a life why waste it being bitter
i am now, i am now
close my eyes i can taste it even sweeter
i am now, i am now
i am now

i know why it is you came here
you’re just looking for a good time
we don’t see each other often
so let’s make the most of tonight
life is demented and delicious
soaked with gloom and stained with glee
vapid, vivid, vicious and vivacious
sprawling in this spiral galaxy
for you and me
swirling overneath
spiral galaxies
swirling overneath
life gets weird
so freak out, because you are the freak,
that you ought to be!
life’s absurd
you sweet rare bird
go flap your wings, go and get you some, before it passes by!
glee and gloom like
sea and spume
i can barely take it
its sacred when your naked
kiss me like you mean it
you’re gonna miss me when i’m dead
i wanna see you start a mosh pit
with the demons in your head
life is melting, time is oozing
when i’m in the funkiest of funks
you are such a swamp of tranquil beauty
i just have to gorge on your gunk
gorgeous city punk
you’re the one i want

stuck
02:21

i can tell when somethings up with you
it’s leaking out of your face
so you throw yourself at something new
but you feel the same
i used to think that I could go without
i was pushing my luck
everytime I have it all figured out
turn’s out I’m stuck
stuck, stuck, stuck, stuck, stuck, stuck, stuck, stuck
stuck, stuck, stuck, stuck, stuck, stuck, stuck
stuck, stuck, stuck, stuck, stuck, stuck, stuck, stuck
stuck, stuck, stuck, stuck, stuck, stuck, stuck
stuck with what we have
we want so much more
never gonna get it
do you see what you wanna see
are you stuck in your mind?
to become who you wanna be
part of you has to die

what would I do to live a good life?
it’s endless
think it through, cozy up to you and
kick back
have a sauna, smoke some marijuana
evaporate
still I dream, of a time machine
to redo
if i could then i would
head full of nature
head full of nomenclature
head full of neurons
head full of blind spots
head full of kilowatts
head full of buckshots
head full of jets and knots
head full of wonder
head full of none-hit blunder
head full of music
head full of dopamine
head full of cryptic dreams
head full of nicotine
head full of memories
head full of thianine
head full of gasoline
head full of ATP
head full of guillotines
head full of chemicals
fly the sails, your too freak to fail
too high to care
as for me, tripped in tennessee
with ollie and gilad
summer cried, filmed attack of the flies
in baraga
edison, oregon, washington
i saw the sea
it was good, there was wood

long division

mysteries alluring
shimmering decay
a trainwreck so beautiful
i couldn’t look away
thankful to be
grateful to say
we’re all right here
all right now
today
the architect of angels
lives inside of you
making peace with demons
and things you’ll never do
thankful to know
grateful to say
we’re all right here
all right now
today
maybe there’s more to me
than i was meant to see
maybe there’s more to you
than you would like to be true
it feeds back in
to where it begins
maybe there’s more to them
than they would like to pretend
maybe there’s more to us
than we could ever discuss
it feeds back in
to where it begins
it feeds back in
until it all ends
