Alright

Get up in the morning and I jump right out of bed
Feeling so productive got ideas in my head
First I gotta yell at my friends and smoke a cigarette
Gonna be a manic day that I won’t soon forget
Cause I’ll be fixing it for a long , long , while
I won’t be allowed to smile
Get up in the morning and I jump right out of bed
Feeling so productive got ideas in my head
Gotta get a move on , even skip coffee and a bowl
Feeling so impulsive, I’m about to lose control
Cause I’ll be fixing it for a long , long , while
I won’t be allowed to smile
And though we hurt ourselves, keep holding on , it will be alright.
Tomorrow’s another day to try again to feel alright.
Although your song is sad, it doesn’t need to be bad.
It could be beautiful.
Be what you want in life, and I’m sure you’ll find that it’s alright.
I know that it’s hard sometimes… Ok - All the time … to feel alright.
You could swear it’s not just in your head, you wish you were dead,
But you’re alright.

Spare Time
04:01
|

|
The road less travelled nearly always is the road you’ll find me on.
Makes no difference what I do
Get to know me and you’ll find that you don’t like me anymore.
But experience has made me value my spare time more than ever before.
Each moment not enslaved is a beautiful gift from the universe.
All it asks of me is my creative productivity,
and I have the ability to create art.
And I’m taking my time on this one, and I’m letting it work itself out.

Space Music

I wonder what the music is like out in space?
Well go ahead now , why don’t ya ask?
I wonder what the tastes are like miles away?
And if you even need to wear a mask?
For now, the music sounds just like the sun.
It hurts so much to look at, but good for everyone.
I wonder , is the space music any fun?
I hope it didn’t psyche you out!
You should feel so good , you wanna get up and shout!
This is the stuff that transcends time and space,
But when I look at you I wanna smack you in the face.

Nicotine Smile
04:32
|
|||
|
I come home and you’re still there.
You ask me if I went anywhere exciting, and I say no.
I fell into my shoes this morning , I woke up,
I was thinking of you.
The alarm clock sounded like your voice to me.
Let it flow through my veins , can’t ya stay just a while?
Burn a hole in my heart with your nicotine smile.
You mumble something that I didn’t hear.
Every time I look for you , you just disappear.
I called your name but you just weren’t near enough.
Let it flow through my veins , can’t ya stay just a while?
Burn a hole in my heart with your nicotine smile.
Pick up the phone, cause I always call you ,
even though I’m afraid of it.
That’s how much I need you ,
but you’re always busy anyway.

Formula of Grand Design
03:43
|

|
(a song about paper)
Whitest white, smooth to the touch.
The human need to record and such.
Straight edges , perfect lines.
Formula of grand design
When you gaze into the light
In the pools of the night
the time is here , the time is now
The paper holds the cosmic sound.
Documentation of historical ways.
Memories of better days.
Musical movements, or moments in time
Formula of grand design
When you gaze into the light
In the pools of the night
the time is here , the time is now
This paper holds the cosmic sound.

Each Another's Creation
05:06
|

Each another's creation, by the universal bond
Like the roots of a tree, connects us to something.
Greater, in a sense, beyond all space and time.
Even if you go down slow, you're sure to reach it.
High above your physical body is consciousness
Take me to the highest place.
Make me come alive.
Hold me , translucent colors.
My body becomes liquid, in a sense.
Now we reach the highest state.
When , and when light gives in , you're sure to be there.
High above your material body is consciousness.
With the greatest arm span, wraps around you all.
Share the warmth of my inner soul.
Scare away the darkness, make it go away.
Smile with your body and the world.
When , and when the light gives in , you're sure to be there.
High above your ethereal body is consciousness.

Each Passing Day
02:43
|
|||
|
Each passing day I think of how I could live a little more, if I only had the time.
And then, I try to realize that it’s all just in my mind, but I still get confused.
Somehow we live this life never knowing who we are.
Never knowing how to love , or who to give it to.
Lost in a fantasy, never knowing what we’ve seen.
Is this real , or just a dream?
Don’t think I’ll ever know.
Night after night , I try to sleep, but my mind keeps racing more.
It’s a chore.
I think of those I used to know.
What would they want from me now, but my frown?
Somehow we live this life never knowing who we are.
Never knowing how to love , or who to give it to.
Lost in a fantasy, never knowing what we’ve seen.
Is this real , or just a dream?
Don’t think I’ll ever know.
