You're not supposed to say
You're not doing okay
But I'm alright in saying I'm not okay
And I know it sounds cliche
but I'm one phone call away
I'll never say I know just what you're feeling
But I'll staple all your words
To my mind and to my heart
Of one through ten you're spinal tap my friend
only good hearts go to eleven; yeah.
You're so cool
You're so cool I love you
The sky ain't falling but the worlds on fire
Will you fan the flames or will you
Fight to the pyre, you're so cool
You;re so cool I love you
The heinous things they do
to him, and her, they, them, and you
are not okay it never was or will be
Their blindness steeped in fear
of the unknown or shame filled tears
manifests to rage from self pity
Don't be ground don;t be silenced
like a disease
we've gotta fight this
highs and lows, ebbs and flows
you and me against the world oh no.
You're so cool
You're so cool I love you
The sky ain't falling but the worlds on fire
Will you fan the flames or will you
Fight to the pyre, you're so cool
You;re so cool I love you
For what it's worth at least we're still breathing
Not all birds are meant to fly
And we'll learn the hard way
What's worth repeating
And what stays buried down inside
One day I'm on cloud nine
the next I speed dial 911
One day I spend all day in bed
The next I'm up and out before the sun
Are you fighting demons
Or afraid of how you're feeling
Sometimes it just takes one
to say something to help break even
I believe in you, and I'm proud of you
Keep being you coz you're so cool

No one understands the world the way you've seen it
No one's seen the world the way you have
There is a goodness to us
While under spells of influence
Exchanging per-determined glances
You've got your walls up and drawn your lines
And I don't blame you coz I too am hiding behind mine
Feels like the closer I get the further I fall behind
False pretense first impression, worst case scenario
Suspect to best intentions, one way, down we go
This idle mind of mine complicates the simplest things
In a world that loves to watch but hates doing everything
You've got your walls up and drawn your lines
And I don't blame you coz I too am hiding behind mine
Feels like the closer I get the further I fall behind
Hey stranger
Don't talk to strangers
So we wait in wondering
And we wait while suffering
So we go to dark quiet places
To stranglehold
You've got your walls up and drawn your lines
And I don't blame you coz I too am hiding behind mine
Feels like the closer I get the further I fall behind

Four AM, awake again
and my voice ain't the only thing I'm losing
Slowly rotting from the inside out
said it wouldn't, couldn't happen again
but here I sit with heart in hand
So it's nights
like tonight that I
go out driving around
with the windows down
as I try to not think about you
I let the universe decide
Left or right
Anything but home, to all those ghosts
Sixty minutes an hour
twenty four hours a day
seven days a week
fifty two weeks a year
I've been thinking about you, I've been thinking about you
And I don't want to
Voluntary vow of silence
things unknown are better left unsaid
and left to own
And I wonder where you'd be now
would we be friends if you were still around?
So many songs left unsung
Sixty minutes an hour
twenty four hours a day
seven days a week
fifty two weeks a year
I've been thinking about you, I've been thinking about you
And I don't want to
What have I become
besides uncomfortably numb
Some days we don't come back from
So it's nights
like tonight that I
go out driving around
with the windows down
as I try to not think about you
I let the universe decide
Left or right
anything but home, to all those ghosts
Sixty minutes an hour
twenty four hours a day
seven days a week
fifty two weeks a year
I've been thinking about you, I've been thinking about you
And I don't want to

Denied existence for wealth and honor
Abuses justified by holy fathers
Voices silenced beneath hands
Patriarchal thumbs of man
Asking questions that don't need answering
Lucia, Lucia
I know you think there's no one listening to reason
but I hear you screaming
Lucia, Lucia
Please know that I believe you
Not one more hour alone
Requests rejected by faithful doubters
Youthful innocence forever shrouded
Forced to carry then conceal
Blamed and shamed straight to hell
Not for nothing, for you are everything
Lucia, Lucia
I know you think there's no one listening to reason
but I hear you screaming
Lucia, Lucia
Please know that I believe you
Not one more hour alone
And one day it's won't be this way
And someday it won't be just how it goes

Should I let myself fall for you
There'd be no getting up
Like the words to a song that I never learned
And have no plan to
I'll sail away, I'll sail away
I'll stay as far as I can stay
A way away from wasted days
It's hard to find as we both know
Dearly distracted, daily dilemma
There's no escape
Modern conveniences, killed communities
With no common goal for humanity
It's a daytime horror story
a bedtime allegory
Like eyes down to a screen
at the drive in movie.

The Lost and Looking

There’s something to be said about
driving through these graveyard hours
second star to the right
and straight on through till morning
We’re trying to find
everlasting youth on basement stages
wasted lives
the vagrants of generations
In concrete wombs beneath the streets
kids clap hands and stomp their feet
(to) songs of revolution with no solution
and that’s alright by me because
I can’t recall a single word
the songs played or things I heard
and on and on the story goes
(from) scene to shining scene
I missed the path of least resistance
for the long hard road
Got lost in the wilderness
but found a reason for existence
memories worth their weight in gold
Some people say our lives are already written
so we can only live the page
I like to think
there’s
reason in everything
no matter how naïve
that makes me
We’re strumming similar chords
but striking different nerves
just like Johnny Thunders sang of memories and failure
wrap your loving arms around tonight
I’ll find a reason to love you
you find a reason to love me
and with these hands
at our command
don’t fight it
feel it
